Garmin talk

anyway i am now a windmiller *clap clap clap*.. downloaded the redlight files.. got em on my nuvi660...

now.. how do i get it to alert me?

step by step please... i really cant think right now.. consider me lost.

Is there a way to remove the standard nuvi startup screen that says warning about driving with gps.

I came across this and thought it was pretty interesting.

Bonjour,

Comment puis-je ajouter une catégorie dans les points d'intérêt ?

Exemple,

Je me suis fais un fichier contenant plusieurs terrains de soccer au Québec et j'aimerais le classer dans une catégorie appelée Soccer.

Je pourrais l'ajouter sous Loisir aussi.

Merci!

This review is the best I've seen on the Nuvi 750. It mentions that the Nuvi 7xx series has less sensitivity to the Satellites than the previous 6xx models. However, it then goes on to point out that Garmin made the 7xx series even *more* sensitive than the 6xx series with the Firmware Update which provided SIRF's InstantFixII Technology.

I have searched the forum but didn't really find my answers to this question

We have a Nuvi 350 (US basemap) and travel quite a bit to Europe (UK, Italy, France). We are wondering:

1. whether there is a difference in the map street level details of Europe complete SD card vs the country France SD card.

Hi everyone,

I'll be in Australia for the next 2 months on business. Can I use the 660 there? If yes, do I need extra maps? Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

I have downloaded about twenty POI in my garmin desktop folder. Is there a away to store them on my 260 instead of keeping them on my computer and use only the ones I want to and not have all the others be on alert when I only want to use two or three?

will have mine by friday!!

woo-hoo....

Hi Folks,

Well, I added my two cents to an article featured in this months issue of Tools Of The Trade Magazine. They tested a lot of the brands of GPS units that people like myself are using in the field and Garmin came out on top followed by Magellan. You can read the article here:

Hello,

I have a Garmin GPS V. It was working. I took the batteries out and put it in a drawer for about six months.

Is there a website that has map symbols that we can add to our GPSr instead of having to create them?

I installed and removed Communicator 4 times because the Test Page said that it wasn't detected, both in Explorer and Firefox. I deleted it and downloaded it again from Explorer and installed it. Yet, it still says that it is not detected. Garmin's typical "extensive" documentation doesn't reveal a clue as to what to do. Does anybody have any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

i am trying to help out a friend with his nuvi 200 because he does not have any of the southern states, eg. florida, georgia, texas. can someone tell me why that would be and what i can do to get them.

When it gets to 99% complete, tells me either the drive is full (It's not it has over 20 GB left) or I don't have permission to write to the drive (I'm on XP and am the only user listed, and have administrator rights). I've tried downloading in IE 6 and Firefox 2.

I have a Nuvi 250 and i am having problems with the vehicles. i had hooked it up to my computer, loaded some more vehicles on it and it replaced the blue arrow that you start with when you first get it. so now when i am trying to change my vehicle on the nuvi it freezes and does not allow me to do anything other than turn it off. any suggestions on what i should do.

Works for me.

Just purchased a 660 and want to change voice that
tell directions

Just got a Garmin C550 and I love it. Been playing with the POI files and the Vehicle Icons. Since I operate a Saltwater Fish Store and do outside service Maintenance from my Ford Van I'd lile to add two things.

1) a Fish for a vehicle like maybe a clownfish.

2) a POI for all Saltwater fish stores maybe in the US or at least Florida.

An amusing story that might remind someone not to make a similar mistake (and also the reason I want the nuvi to figure out by speed when I am clearly not a pedestrian).
