Garmin talk

OK, I've noticed that my 650 automatically changes from day to night mode (and vice versa) automatically without a message popping up. When I owned the 350, a message would pop up and notify me, but the 650 doesn't. Is this normal for the 650? Just curious.

I've just started using GeePeeEx Editor several days ago & have been wrestling with several problems I can't figure out. Rather than email Phil, I thought it'd be more beneficial to post my questions here, so that others might benefit from the answers. I'm hoping Phil will also comment in this thread sooner or later also.

I'm pretty new here, and believe me, I've tried searching the FAQ's here and elsewhere without much help, so here it is:

I have a Garmin 350 and I have this nagging problem with my touchscreen. Often times when I touch the screen I get wrong responses... wrong letters, move up or down, or changes screens when I am nowhere near those keys. I have the latest updates. I have recalibrated and reset the thing many times. It doesn't matter if it hot or cold. Any ideas?

Hi all, I'm new here, great site.

My new Garmin 350 was working and playing alert tones and custom MP3s when in the proximity of a custom POI and it just stopped working. I've tried re-loading the POIs, I've re-verified that the alerts are turned on.

I am very new to this and I can't figure out how to put sound or a icon in the rest area file.
I downloaded the rest area file to a folder i call download and then i went to the icon area and downloaded rest area 1bmp to my download file and i did the same with the sound file so now i have 3 files in "download" now what?
How do i rename them?
HELP.........Cy

Hi all

Does anybody know of a place where you can get hold of extra VUP files for free?

It was a gift so I can return it for credit. Might have to step up to a better model with Blue tooth and actual street talking but I am not sure yet.

I can't decide to buy a Garmin Nuvi 255W or 260W which is better?

I just purchased my new Garmin 660w and found that the maps loaded are missing many roads in my area. I registered my nuvi and it stated that I have the most up to date maps. There are roads missing that have been in use for over a year and a half now.

Hi! I'm planning a trip to maine and desparately need help as I'm not techno saavy and have never done this before.
I downloaded POI rest stops along Rt 84 and it entered my nuvi under "extras". Question: Can I down load only specific destinations instead of the entire POI? How is this done?

I will be starting rehab on my knee today, and my doctor told me that I could start to ride my bicycle.
I have ordered this mount from Garmin. Has anybody tried one?

If you have, I would like some imput on how sturdy and how well it holds the Nuvi. Thanks

I have been using the TTS Editor and really enjoy the versatility it gives the user. While my question is probably answered somewhere on this site I need help locating it or maybe a quick answer. If you delete the extra voice files from your unit will there be any additional space made available for use by the user.

Hello all,

Hello all,

When I'm connecting my Garmin Nuvi 650 to USB cable on my laptop, it always shows charging and I can't seem to use the unit at all. Is this normal?

I have had my 760 for a month or so now,Used it this weekend and put in a destination partway there it (unknown to me).Defaulted back to ready to navigate screen? I never shut unit off,I only zoomed in and out a few times.Anyone have this happen to them? Unit worked normally on drive home.
Thanks

Are the Canadian rest areas in with the combined rest area sites?
If not why?
thanks...................Cy

When making Poi's should you use Note Pad or Excel?
Because I'm getting nothing but trouble.

Hi, Well I have always loaded most of the POI's onto my SD card since I first got the c530 for Christmas. To say the least I have accumulated many different POI's. Anyway just recently after doing the usual POI Loader installation, the c530 after I start it up seems OK then shuts itself off. If I remove the SD card the unit is just fine.

Hi,
I just ordered the Garmin Nuvi 760,and would like to know which poi files work with this unit.(gpx or csv)
I couldn't find this info on Garmins site.
Thanks in advance...........
