Garmin talk

hello i put in alot of poi files and set the alert tomes then i downloaded the voices i followed the directions to name the sound file the same as the poi file but i still get the attention tone what did i do wrong

I was holding my nuvi 360 in my hand and my finger was resting on the clock. All of a sudden a new diagnostic type screen opened up. There is a next and back button on the bottom as well as lots of different buttons on each screen as you page through the next buttons. I did not touch anything, but for the techies out there it looked pretty impressive.
Anyone know what all those screens do?

Has anyone deleted any factory installed voices taking up space from their 700 series? How is this done, what affect did it have?

Has anyone seen any reviews on the new 765T yet? Is is worth the wait or should I just get a 700 series for my son?

I am trying to download a gpx file from EveryTrail to my Nuvi 260. I have installed the Garmin Communicator. When I download the file to either the SD card or the Garmin GPX file, it disappears after I disconnect from the unit. Where am I going wrong?

I have a C530 w/ the 2008 map update. I have had the same problem/error with this unit on several occasions.

I was thinking about buying software for a mobile device - either Pocket PC or SmartPhone, and came across the Garmin Mobile XT.

I like the TomTom software, because custom voices can be used, as well as the other standard features.

I haven't seen enough information yet on the Garmin software to see if it can have voices and such...

Anyone have any thoughts? Good, bad, ugly?

I have an older GPS (StreetPilot 2720) ... will I be able to down/load poi's from this site?

I don't have a traffic subscription option but when I get stuck in traffic I want to 'find a way round'. Is 'Detour' the right way or is there a way to get into the traffic avoidance menus that the manual describes without having a traffic subscription.

Does anyone have any tips on traffic avoidance?

I'm using a Nuvi 760.

The Garmin Garage has 4 new vehicles designed for it's 800 series.

Hi -

While camping recently, we had to rush our German Shepherd to a Vet and then to a 24-hour Vent Emergency Center to deal with a Water Moccasin bite. Fortunately, he made it but it was quite an upsetting time for awhile there.

Here's some software for all you Nuvi guys and gals.

Changes from version 3.00 to version 3.10:
Improved support for WebUpdater
Corrected issue with DEM data appearance when using track-up map orientation
Improved FM transmitter frequency adjustments for European locales
Improved appearance of metadata and spectrum analyzer in Music Player
Corrected issue where scroll arrows were inactive on MSN movie review pages

I downloaded a couple of different voices from webupdater, How do I Utilize them different voices?

Here's a response from Garmin Support.......

Thank you for contacting Garmin International.

I'll be happy to assist you with this. If your Nuvi has the v.4, you
will not be able to backdate the firmware. The work around is to delete
the GPI files on the Nuvi. We will soon be releasing our next update
that will fix this issue. Please check back for the latest updates.

I hope this hasn't already been anwered; I looked through the posts and didn't see it. The POI Loader will only load csv files on a Nuvi 200 and each waypoint is a separate entry. Is there any way to load a "route" onto a 200 so that you could start at point A and travel the entire route?

Below is a link to a photo montage I took of the Garmin Model # 010-10969-00 mount that I installed in my car. It is almost invisible when the cradle is not attached to it, it is very stable, easily viewed by driver, allows easy access to the screen for both driver and passenger and it makes the GPS less obvious to thieves.
