Would you pay for upgrading your Nuvi 600 series to 700 Series? If so how much?

Is there any way to see how much internal memory is left on a C340? Can you delete languages that you don't use from this unit?

Thanks!

Is there a way to choose which POI's show on the map screen on the 205w?
Thanks

I used to have my security location set to my front porch, very convenient. But it turns out that my car in the driveway is close enough to that location to bypass the need to enter my PIN.

hello.

i am interested to see what results others have on there garmin gps device.

i have a nuvi 200w. when i check on the satelite status screen(by leaving pressing and holding for 4 sec, then release), i get no lower than 10 feet accuracy, but an average of 24 feet.

is that good or bad? should i even rely on what it says on there?

My nuvi 200 is mounted on my dash and connected to 12v, and I rarely take it out. When I visit the Garmin site, I can find no information about any updates. It seems a bit odd that you can't find out IF there's an update without connecting the unit and running the updater

Is there info posted anywhere else?

I have a fairly new Nuvi 760 and have recently gotten around to looking at the Tracks feature.

MapSource can upload and download tracks of where I've been. I see that MapSource has some controls to join and divide tracks. After that, I don't see what I can do with them.

Are there any useful things to do with tracks, like turn it into a route? What else can be done with tracks?

For those interested:

I have not yet activated my MSN Direct Receiver, and I'm not sure I ever will.

Recently I bought a Nuvi 350 & 360. The screen is much brighter and the sound is somewhat louder on the 350 compared to the 360. Also the AC and car charger are different between the two models.

Hi ... I violated the prime directive (if it ain't broke don't fix it) today and tried to update my new Nuvi 205 using the dreaded Webupdater. Well, I now have a "system software missing" message and cannot reboot/reset or turn the device off. Suggestions? I THINK reverting to version 2.7 would help BUT cannot find anything that I can load without the Webupdater.

Thanks for reading

I have successfully downloaded CSV files and BMP files from POI Factory. I would like to download MP3 files associated with certain CSV files and from the library. When I follow the link to the sound (MP3) file, it loads and plays but I can't figure out how to download it.

I'm using Windows Vista.

Is there a way to set the Garmin 260W so that Custom Icons of POIs will show up on the "Map View" as you approach an Interstate Exit? For example,say there is a Wendy's and an Arby's at the next Exit I am approaching. A Custom Icon will show up on the Map for the Wendy's and the Arby's.

Thanks

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I just got the Garmin nuvi 360. I was trying to download some POI files but not having luck.
I downloaded POI loader and the POI files. When I run POI loader and select the folder that contains my POI files, it tells me there are not .cvs files in the folder and won't let me continue. I know they are there because I can open them. Any suggestions?

I think my 760 went drinking without me yesterday. For some reason, it showed me going in correct direction, but I showed me traveling about 1 street over to the left, which was out of line. I turned the unit off for about 10 seconds, then turned it back on and it seemed to have corrected itself. Any idea what may have happened. My 11 yr old daughter got a kick out of it, though.

My handsfree bluetooth displays my name and number when paired to my blackberry. However my blackberry is programmed not to show this information. I don't want this information to show on my Nuvi. Any suggestions would bemost helpful

I have a Nuvi 760, and it's a nice feature that the music icon appears on the map page,
so you can switch back and forth easily between the two.
But how do you turn off the music icon when you don't want to listen to music anymore?

I've hit the stop/pause button in the MP3 player, yet the icon still shows on the map screen. So far the only way I can get it off is to cycle power.

does anyone have experince with the GeePeeEx Editor ?
i own a nuvi 760 & 680 and wondering if it benefit me to use this program. i normally use google map / send to Gps

hi i was wondering if you can delete or remove TEXT VOICES from the darmin 260w folder. i wanted to delete some text voices to make roon on the hard drive to download TTS voices. thank you

HI am new to GPS and was wondering if folks out there can point me in the right direction.

I'd like to see about taking a E911 Map of my county and then making it available someway on my GPS or a higher end GPS.

For example .... my county has a County Road 5 which shows on the GPS as CR-5 but in E911 terms it is like 151st Street.
