Garmin talk

Hello,

I don't have any red light camera/speed POIs installed, yet my NUVI 5000 will sometimes display "variable safety camera " alerts. Sometime it will also lock up. Anyone else with these types of problems?

This unit has been replaced once by Garmin.

A friend of mine purchased a Nuvi 200, and I am not familiar with it, since I have a C340. There is nothing in the manual about a USB cable to plug into a PC so you can load POI files and charge the unit, but it does have the ability to do that, doesn't it? Will it also function as a mass storage unit?

I am trying to add to the Best Burgers list. When I find the Resturant on Google Map and open up the send to my GPS window. The name, address, Tel. # and what I belive are the coordinates are shown. It sends me the wrong place when I enter the coordinates in my GPS and look at it. The Burger place is Le Tub, 1100 N.Ocean Dr. Hollywood Fl. The coordinates that are shown are 26.03796, 80.14011.

the windshield suction cup will not stay stuck for very long.

is the something I can do to make it stick longer?

So, do the readers here think that other online mapping websites will follow Google Maps and Mapquests lead and also allow the "Send To GPS" option, or do you think that this will remain exclusive to Google Maps and Mapquest? I guess for that matter, what other websites would be likely to do this?

Just got the Nuvi 750 and love it. However, the volume on the alerts is too high. The normal level is fine for navigation, but when the alerts for the custom POIs cuts in, WOW. I mean to the point of vibrating the speaker.

Hello- Recently I purchased a NUVI650 and I just started adding POI's. Does anyone know if you can change the header/title "Custom POIs" that appear. I would like to creat a title that states what the POIs are ie: Trails, lakes, etc...
Thanks

Went on to mapquest, went to directions, put in house address, put in campground in South Dakota. Modified route, clicked send to, chose GPS. Worked fine. I did have to download the garmin communicator even though I had done so before and it worked with google.

that can be saved to the Nuvi650. I went to the Garmin site to look into Geocaching. Going in to MyGarmin and after downloading 15 geocaching sites only 8 showed up in the favorites on my 650. The 650 will hold 500 waypoints/favorites/locations. Could it be that I have maxed out the internal Garmin file for favorites/waypoints/locations? Any help will be appreciated!

Regards,

is it possible to get a lifetime membership traffic for the 660? anyone know if discounts/deals exists for these?

I tried sending waypoints from Google Maps to my Nuvi 350 and it does work, but the address and phone number are missing. Also long title names get truncated.
ie (Target Stores: Store Informati) with no address or phone number?

Anyone know how to get the phone number and address appear and the title not truncated?

What I would like to do is to take my GPS 650 on a road trip with me, turn it on, and have it keep track of the roads that I've traveled, and then at the end of the day. I would like to save the file that the GPS tracked for me. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

I recently purchased a Nuvi 660, and want to know if I add new POI's onto an SD card using Garmin's POI Loader will it overwrite any of the existing POI's currently on the unit? I'm still trying to figure out how the POI's get appended. Are they simply added onto the existing ones, or are they in different files/folders?

I have the settings right...checked them a dozen times. It shows the turns on screen but announces nothing. I loaded some poi's and corrected one to reflect the actual location of our WalMart but that's all. any ideas??

If money were not an object, which one would you choose for the best all around handheld. I have Nuvi 660 for the car, but wanted something available for hunting, hiking and general travel.

Thanks in advance for your input...

Does anyone know how the POI catagory sort order is done on the Nuvi. I have a 660 and keep all my POI files (.CSVs) in one folder. Then I use POI loader to put them on an SD card. Whenever I change/update one file, that catagory now displays at the bottom of the list when put back on the Nuvi.

Well, I thought I’d give topografix.com EasyGPS a try. BIG MISTAKE!

I've got a Nuvi 750 which I've uploaded POI's too without any problems. My son came over today with his Streetpilot c330 to which I tried to upload some POI's to his unit without any success. POI Loader couldn't find the device and when I went on Windows Explorer, I didn't see it on the file page either.

Just wondering if there's any way to specify how much of the voice prompts I want on the Garmin. Mine seems to do a little too much talking and would rather have it only talk when I get REALLY close to a turn, instead of 1 mile, .8 mile, etc. Sorry but I just got my first Garmin and am very new.
