Garmin talk

Hi everyone,

Just asking everyone here at the POI Factory to help the Nuvi880 users in requesting a fix for the 880. I wrote tech support requesting the following.

-------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

All of the sudden when I turn on my Nuvi 660 it won't connect to any satellites. I called Garmin and they weren't much help. The unit is out of warranty so if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

When I installed it a couple months ago I noticed the announcements for turns would be too late. I saw other models with different fw report the same thing. I tried going at slower speeds but it still persists. So I downgraded the fw. Anyone have the same issue?

is there any way to set the POI files for warning 0.3 miles from the camera on the 60CSX regardless of speed ??
Also does the POI count towards the 500 favorites waypoint totals on the 60csx ??

Will be travelling from Chicago to AStlanta. Does the street pilot show rest stops and fuel locations on its map?

i have just paid for and loaded 2009 map source on my 2610 about 3 weeks ago.i bought another 2610 recently.can i somehow use the same updates on the other one without paying again?

I just recently installed Garmin's 2009 map update on my Nuvi 350. The detail on the map at highest setting looks better, but it seems that the unit is a bit more sluggish to respond / update screen while driving. Anyone else notice this?

Is there a way to upgrade the base maps in Bobcat using the pre-loaded maps on my 780?

I don't have access to a PC anymore and cannot use that route to upgrade them.

Thanks,

Bill L

I don't see why it wouldn't be, but I was wondering if the mph data is accurate on the Nuvi 660.

In my car, my speedo consistenly reads 3 mph higher. Actually, we have two cars, and it's on the first car where it's 3 mph higher. The 2nd one it's about 0-1 mph higher, i.e. speedo reads higher than GPS.

I live on the East Coast and will be travelling to the West Coast to attend a wedding. I'd like to program my GPS to take me from John Wayne airport to the Hotel and to the Grooms house and then to Burbank airport. I have fiddled with Map Source and am totally flummoxed as to how to set this up.

Hi,

I've recently noticed that while I'm driving, the screen on my Nuvi 200 updates about 2-3 seconds behind my actual position. That is, if I pass a certain side street, the vehicle icon on the screen isn't shown arriving at that street for another 2 seconds or a little more.

Hi to all,

i am form Germany and new in this great forum.

I just bought myself a Garmin 670. I am going to Florida in October and wondering, what would be the most important POIs to be installed on the 670.

By the way, what do you think would be the best places for breakfast with the family in the St. Pete Area?

Garmin ETA is based on your own driving habits.

Garmin has confirmed that:
"We do learn from a driver’s habits and adjust the ETA accordingly. We do this by observing what speed a driver typically drives on each speed category of road and use that to compute ETA."

I have added a BP Gas Station Alert to my nuvi 200 10 times and it will not alert me. Am I stupid? Does the nuvi 200 not do this. I am using the POI Loader from Garmin. When I open the Garmin drive, BOOM, there is the alert, it just will not play. Where have I gone wrong?

Well folks, I just received my replacement
nuvi 760, after the 4.00 FW fiasco.
Well, this unit has FW ver 3.20 on it.
I don't see any listing on the Garmin website for this version. I did other searches, and found nothing.
I wonder if this is the next version to be released to fix 4.00?

Hey....Well im not too familiar with where to check if there is a firmware update for my Nuvi 200, so can someone please help me out or even tell me if there is one??!! Thanks

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350. I loaded 22 custom POIS with icons, alerts, etc and now I tried to load number 23. It won't display it on my Garmin under custom pois. I also put in on the card and it sill won't display. If I delete a custom poi then it shows up. Did I reach the limit? I deleted some of the help in foreign languages to free up some room but how many can you have.

hi, i'm new to gps and i've just bought the unit couple days ago, i've updated the firmware to 3.10. when doing a address search, there's an "search by postal code" option, but when i key in the postal code, i need to keep flipping between '123' and 'ABC' mode. is there a quicker way for entering canadian postal code? thanks.

Hi folks,

I don't know if there is a setup option I'm missing or if this is normal but my POI icons are too small to discern what they represent when the unit is mounted on my windshield and in many cases too small when I'm holding it 6" from my face. Additionally placing a pointer on them to find out what they are is an exacting process. Is this normal?
