Difference between Nuvi 760 & 780?

Comparing the Nuvi 760 and 780 on Garmin's product page, I can't see the difference between these two, besides about $100.

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?compare=compare&compa...

What does the 780 have vs the 760 that did not make it to Garmin's comparison chart?

TTS for 250W

Does any one know if TTS can be added to 250W, is so, please let us know how?

Can nuvi 660 alert me if I am speeding?

I remember seeing this on the tomtom 720 as a feature if you have a traffic receiver. However on the nuvi 660 I am not sure how to use this, if available of course.

Does anyone know if this feature is available in one form or another?

thanks

Hi,

I just got my Nuvi 200 a couple of days ago. I loaded POIs using POI Loader from Garmin site with the listings I wanted. I see a message, successfully loaded.

-118.93364, 34.18996, "Staples"
-119.07558, 34.21676, "Staples"
-118.79641, 34.15425, "Staples"

Nuvi 750 - Headphone jack........

I'm considering the purchase of a Nuvi 750 but I've been holding off due to the negative reports involving the FM Transmitter. It's very important that I be able to use audio books and mp3 files with the unit.

Is there a way to make a POI out of you MS Outlook file contacts?

Is there a way to make a POI out of you MS Outlook file contacts? Or a way to import your address book to the Garmin?

Correct speed?

While driving on a highwaw and my CC set to 70, my 260 reads 67. I also have a difference on the total miles I have driven, less on the GPS. Which is right? My car is almost new with the orignal tires.

Uploading POI's to the C330

OK, I'm an idiot. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I have attempted to upload several POI files directly. Even with a file as small as 72K, I still get a message that there is not enough room in the GPS to upload. Surely this can't be right. What am I doing wrong? Thanks much, in advance.

Edge 605 + POI Loader, don't play well.

Well only got my Edge 605 recently, I've currently got a 1GB MicroSD in it (temp - I'm getting a 2GB soon) I've loaded on City NavNT Euro 2008 but only UK for now I'll wait for my bigger card before loading europe on ... the maps are stored on the card, that's great all works fine.

portable friction mount

I'm from Montreal and I would like to know if I can order it. Garmin doon't sell it on his Canadian site and Amazone too. I'd like to know where I can order this mount. Thx

GARMIN MOBILE XT QUESTIONS

I thought this would be a great chance for people to talk about any questions having to do with Garmin Mobile XT. I just recently purchased Garmin Mobile XT for my Pocket PC. I already own another Garmin GPS and many maps (not the NT ver), so now I can seem to use the maps on the XT Garmin. Does anyone know how to make the maps work.

Total Catagories

I am catagorizing my files for example: Campgrounds. Truck stops. Museums. etc, and some are showing up on the Zumo 550 but not all. Can I be exceeding the # of seperate catagories allowed under "extras" ?
Suggestions... Thanks in rainy Oh.

Travel Guide for Nuvi 350

I am thinking about purchasing the Travel Guide for the Nuvi 350. I want it because of the destination descriptions and reviews provided by Fodor's.

I am wondering if this product is worth buying. The GPS Store sells the Travel Guide for $54. Are the descriptions and reviews accurate? Is there a better product that provides this type of information?

portable friction mount?

what is it exactly?

and

where can I get one?

Locked devices

I your NUVI is registered with Garmin is it automatically locked or is some other action required?
Thanks, JRO

Stolen!!!

Well my nuvi 680w was stolen last night and was wondering if I really needed a 680 or if there was another wide screen nuvi out there that does the same stuff for less money. Don't need the Microsoft Live thing and all i really did was load POI files on it.Never used the MP3 player or the Bluetooth.
Any suggestions on a replacement or just get another 680?
Thanks,
Brian

Sharing Maps - Is this Piracy

My friend bought the Europe Map for his Nuvi 360. He vacationed there. He bought it in 2006, used it for 3 weeks and has never used it again, nor does he plan to use it again for the foreseable future.

I am going to go to Europe and thought it would be great if I could load it on my 360 for the 2 weeks I will be there.
