Garmin talk

Hi Everybody,
I'm new here and I already like this website.

When I bought the nuvii 750 in January 2008 I was surprised to find that my home address was not included. I have lived here since Aug 2006 and some of my neighbors since Nov 2005. While I was not happy to find out I would to pay for a map up grade, I wanted to make sure my home address was now included.

Last night, I downloaded the new map info and it went through fine (though my computer is a bit slow, so it took 6 hours).

I tried to update three times today and about 15-20% through the update itself, I get an error stating that the map update has failed.

The other day I went by a Red light camrea and my Garmin c330 didnt sound a thing. How do I properlly load it into my c330

Both are roughly the same price and I really don't have any use for the traffic function (not available where I live in Canada). Comments/thoughts?

It is time to upgrade the oler of my units, the tank like 330!!!

iam trying to install my new maps there is not enough room on my c/drive but i have loads of room on my d/drive how can i install on my d/drive.

The 2009 Mapsource Viewer is on the Garmin site; however, it is buried within myGarmin once you select the download to purchase option. If you then go there and then select "Coverage" you will see the link to the Mapsource viewer.

My cubicle-mate said he read an article that the GPS satellites might be upgraded soon. Does anyone know what that means for us Garmin owners?

thx,
Jen

Can the downloaded 2009 map update from Garmin for my GPSr be used to update the maps on my PC used by Mapsource?

Will this devices show POI icons as you are driving? My brother has a factory GPS in his car and it shows POI icons. Just wanted to know if anyone knew how to make the GPS do that.

Thanks,
DJ

just bought a C580 with MSN for 200.00 brand new!!

i think that this is a good price?

I just ordered my free update from Garmin. $10.00 shipping and handling. They gives you the option of downloading or a disk. I have 31 days from the time I bought my 260 (3/25/08)to get the free map. 90 days for the download.

Okay, so I am pretty ticked off at Garmin lately, the windshield suction mount is falling off all the time...seems if you remove it to clean the windshield, for security, etc. and it sticks a little bit, you get that black residue on your windshield...well over time that degrades the suction cup's ability to restick.

Hi,

I just went there to check and see if I have a mapping update since it's May 1st.

Well, the website is down for maintenance! Hope they fix their issues on the website and put something up there for the new maps.

Down for maintenance.This server has been taken down momentarily for maintenance.

We apologize for this unexpected behavior, and we are working to restore service.

I did a search but can't seem to find the thread, but didn't many of the POI folks agree that new mapping would not or could not be downloaded off the Garmin site via the internet?

Just wondering if anyone else has to do this.

1. Search by address
2. Type in City
3. When the list of results of cities come up, I always have to double-tap (double-click) the city to select it and advance to the next screen?

Anyone have to do this too? Bueller? Bueller?

Has anyone had problems with the Nuvi 350 freezing up? I have had a couple of times where the unit froze

What is the purpose of the temperature field in the waypoint properties section?

Hello I know this has been discussed previously and I looked quickly at the faq and didn't see anything so hopefully someone can help me out.

How do I downloan a google map into my garmin 650?

Much appreciated!
