Garmin talk

so i finally know how to put sounds in my garmin 760 this may sound like a stupid question but how does it work when i pass by a starbucks it will know i'm passing one?

I've just gotten this unit and cannot find any info on how many POI are loaded.

My better half was skeptical of the purchase, but she is now on a trip with her mother and took it with her -- I am missing my wife, but I really need Jill back!

I have been unable to get my Garmin nRoute Program to see our new 760. Am I doing something wrong, or is nRoute not supported in the 760?
Thanks
Bill

Weird thing happened today with my Nuvi 350. I had my Nuvi set to take me home when I noticed I needed gas. So I found a gas station with the Nuvi and set it as a Via Point. It brought me to the gas station and afterwords continued to my original POI (Home).

My Nuvi 680 had maps and POI'S accidentally deleted, how do I fix it?

Nuvi 300/350 (WebUpdater) software version 5.60 just showed up today.

Changes made from version 5.50 to 5.60:
*Fixed issue where fleet management interface messages can get stuck in the outbox
*Improve handling of the situation where overlapping map data is present on the device.

Still didn't fix the linebreak problem. Garmin really got on top of that ... they've known about the problem over a year and a half, still nothing done!

it seems that the voice prompt is a bit late (garmin 350), sometimes too late. wonder if there's way we could change the timing of the prompt. or do we have to get used to it? Thanks in advance.

When I checked for current updates today, I found the update was for fleet management tracking. I looked it up http://www8.garmin.com/pressroom/corporate/021207.html and found that GPS units apparently CAN be tracked with some help.

Taken from the web description: "tracking the location of their drivers and vehicles" with the addition of GPS-Buddy and Beacon Wireless.

Has anyone put a Washington Mutual POI together for Illinois?

Got a new Nuvi 760. I like it except that the poor FM transmitter. It's almost useless in a big city like Los Angeles. Anyway it came with 2008 US map pre-installed and I saw that they have 2009 update on their site. Do I have a free update or do I have to pay to get the update?

Also, is it possible to import my favorites from my old nuvi 350 to Nuvi 760? How do I do it?
Thanks.

I was wondering because, while reporting a bad POI, I saw this on the Navteq website: "NAVTEQ releases navigation data up to four times a year to a wide range of navigation system manufacturers and vendors. Because of the time required to process the data, there is a lag between making an addition to the database and seeing that change reflected in a navigation system.

since my update software ver 3.10 , my 760 locks up at times after speaking turn directions.
anyone have this problem ?
i contacted Garmin by e-mail, we'll see what they say

My daughter wanted to use her 260W so I took it outside to acquire satellites and I was out there for 15 plus minutes and nothing happened.. I was in an open sky area and everything... Any suggestions?

Is anyone having problems with this most recent update? I just updated my 760 from 3.0 to 3.10 but have not tested it yet? If there is a probelm with 3.10 how do you go back to 3.0?

Thanks.

ps: No, I did not back my system up.

Does anyone have any POI for S America like aztec ruins, machu picchu or the like?

I just got an email from Garmin informing me that the "JULY" update for the BlueChart Americas charts I own are available.

They are designating the update as Version 2008.5

In case anyone is interested.

I did at least order the update CD, but I am pretty sure they are going to want $75.00 PER REGION for the unlock codes. I have two regions and this adds up.
