Garmin talk

i could use a hand. I purchased the Nuvi 750 as well as the newly released City Navigator NT for Mac. I downloaded the Garmin Webupdater as well as the Garmin mapmanager and Garmin communicator. I can create routes on my laptop. My laptop recogizes my nuvi. On the left hand side of the screen, I select the route that i created and then click the "send" icon at the top of the page.

We went on a long trip (4 hours) a few weeks ago and the stuttering on the 760 was unbelievable. I hadn't noticed it all that much until this trip, but as the day went on, the stuttering seemed to get worse (or it just got more on my nerves).

Just check the Garmin website.
Looks like release 3.10 is now available.

How do you set different distance (feet) for different types of POI for the Nuvi 760? Example: rest area, red light cameras or is it built into the csv file.

I am just learning how to download and have run into a problem. I downloaded the walmart poi and on my computer screen it showed that it was finished, but now I cannot find it on my device. Isn't it supposed to be under extras as a custom poi? Please help a newbie.

Hi Folks,

Here's a couple of the MP3 files I use as alert tones for my Nuvi POI Files. Feel FREE to do whatever you like with them! My gift to you from my twisted mind! (LOL)

I am just getting started with POI files and enjoying it. I have successfully installed some in my Nuvi but now have seen one on bridges that is a zip file. Do I install that with the Garmin POI loader just like any other file or does it have to be unzipped (if that is the right terminology) first? As a senior citizen I am simply not up to date on things like this and need some hand holding!

I'm testing out which GPS is best to use while on the road as a truck driver. I'm currently checking out a TomTom 720 and a Garmin 750. I really like being able to set up a alert that a scale is 3 miles out on my current route. This gives me plenty of time to get in the correct lane even in heavy traffic.

Does anyone know where I can find an aircraft vehicle icon for my Garmin 200w? Any winged plane would do.

I had a Nuvi 680, and ordered the maps update disk from Garmin. Before receiving the disk, the unit had signal issues. Best Buy offered me Nuvi 780 instead (under their extended warranty, since they did not have 680 in stock. Needless to say that I gladly accepted their offer.

What are some of the better downloads I should be looking to add? I think I would like a good Red Light Camera POI, but are there any others that are really good?

Still a noob

If I buy one copy of the map updates, could I put it on both my Nuvi 260 and 350?

Have downloaded it and will take it for a spin.

So I just came back from a trip to Long Island from MA. I hate driving route 95, so I always want to take the parkways. But I also want a reminder for the turn, so with my nuvi 350, I have to put in a waypoint.

How do you find that waypoint?

Well, you can do it by looking at the map, and then clicking on an area, but I find that cumbersome. You have to find the road you want visually.

My wife had my Nuvi 760 and has Onstar (personal calling). Anyways, I called her and was talking and she told me the Nuvi went bonkers... I have the TourGuide setup with alerts and the alert was going sounding over and over.. I relegated to a conflict with frequencies...

I called her on the cell phone while the NUVI was on and all was fine.. Thoughts?

I hate to buy yet another GPS but for critical navigation in our RV (diesel truck and 26 ft 5th whl) but our Nuvi 760 does not seem to support nRoute. we use a laptop with a large screen that enables us to more easily see the exits.

My Nuvi 360 always takes me the really long way to get on a certain freeway by my house. The problem is that it gets confusing as it makes me get on another freeway before getting on the freeway I want.

Is there a way to program it so my shorter, better route comes up instead when accessing this freeway?

I have found quite a few of Garmin's POI's that were bad.
A Starbucks in a residential house??
Business' that have been gone for years!

Is there any way that I can delete them one by one, or change the information to reflect the proper location?

Thanks,

Bill
