7xx 3.x FW bug - "Custom" TourGuide POI Alert - Lock up Issue

Has anyone experienced this TG POI Bug?

1: When the unit powers up when a TourGuide alert (or at the TG POI location) is in range, when selecting a new route the unit will lock up everytime you hit "Go" until you get out of the set range of the POI.

Nuvi Bluetooth issues

200W - Text to speach??

Hi guys....

Really need some help here as it is driving me nuts.

I have the Garmin 250W which is NOT text to speach capable, my belief is that the 255W was the first 200 series to offer this feature.

Trips & Waypoint Manager

Do you use Garmins Trips & Waypoint Manager software? I recently installed this product and have problems using the "Help" option.

NUVIfone

On Garmin's website, www.garmin.com/nuvifone, they are talking about the release of a new device. A 3G GSM cell phone with a touch screen and GPS built-in. This looks awesome! Does anyone know anything about it? Any Garmin staff who read this site who can tell us about unlocked phone pricing, availability, etc?

Weather

I have a Garmin Nuvi200 which does not come with weather and was wondering if I download the weather for texas would it work on it? Or would I have to have a GPS that came with weather already on it?

nuvi 200wc

i was looking through a circuit city ad today and i noticed they have a nuvi200wc for $199.

nuvi 200wc? when did this come out? i can barely find any info on it and the differences between the plain "w". from the look of the main map interface..it can play mp3's.

did garmin make an all 'new' 200wc jus to add mp3 playback?

Battery

I have a NUVI 650. Some day I'll need to change the battery, but it works fine now. I see batteries sold online within reason. But, how do you remove the old and replace the new battery in the unit without damaging it. It does not seem obvious how to open the case.

Small town problems

I just moved to Daphne, AL, right outside of Mobile. Our house isn't even on my Garmin, although I did just update to 2009. There also aren't a lot of the stores I need on it - it is picking up stores in Pensacola but not down the street. I updated the POI's I needed here but is there a area specific download that might help? Thanks!

Amtrak/Train Vehicle Icon

Has anyone ever seen a railroad icon similar to what Garmin has on their site for us to use in the 760 to identify our vehicle location. ?

"Welcome Home" mp3 or wav

does anybody happen to have a "welcome home" sound file they would like to share?

i want to make a poi for my home and set an alert so everytime i pull up i will get a nice "welcome home".

sorry if this doesnt deserve its own thread, but i looked all over. i even tried the text to speach stuff but it sounds too robotic.

Garmin City Navigator Europe 2009 NT V11 micro & SD

Hi everyone,

I came across this on Ebay.
They are selling it for $130.
Price isn't that bad, but is it real.
I mean, I have searched the net for any info on it, to confirm if it really exists, nothing, not even on Garmin website.

SOX MP3'S and WAVS (ghosts and goblins)

Looked all over the site but can not find definitive "how to" on using sox. Do you even need to use it with the newest version of POI? What does sox do? What directory are you supposed to put it in? Do I download plain old sox or do I choose sox-win?

City Navigator 2009 NT update, update?!

Hello!

I successfully installed "CNNT2009-update" on my Legend HCx, however I have a question...

Are there any "interim" updates throughout the year? In other words, is there a possibility that Garmin puts out updates to CNNT2009-update? Or if I have 2009 on, anything new will require the 2010-update purchase down the road?

Just wondering. Thanks!
