Garmin talk

I just got a Nuvi 200, and so far I love it. I've noticed some screenshots on some of the postings for extra vehcile files, where you can see the vehicles in "side view" on the maps (in both 2-D and 3-D views). I've also seen a litte "N" arrow on the screenshots indicating which way is North. I can't get those things to appear on my unit.

Does anyone know a way to speed-up a simulation... or somehow make it do it's paces in drastically less time than the actual trip would take?

I have a C550 with the City Navigator North America NT 2008 map loaded. There is a neighborhood not far from me with some fairly new streets (about two years old, I think) that do not appear on my map. I realize that it takes time to get things updated, so I figure it's no big deal.

I know its been said before, but Garmin has the best customer service ever.

I called them up today because I needed a replacement mount. They are dropping one in the mail at no charge.

And if this isnt enough, the lady informed me that If I have my GPS locked, and someone steals it.

On my garmin 650 I have waas/egnos and it is off what is this and do I keep it off or put it on thank you Lucky

Hi if you don't know the address of a place you are trying to fined can you just put down the name even if you don't know the street or coordinates.Lucky

Thanks for all the great info on this site concerning gps devices from everyone. I have been trying to make a playlist so I can group different kinds of music together on a sd card instead of just loading mp3 files and letting the gps group them. Is there a easy way to do this so the nuvi 650 will let me select the playlist and play alright?
Thanks

does anyone have any 4wd poi files for utah? Az.

thanks

Just started playing around with Mapsource on my computer. While in Mapsource, I noticed all the various built in POIs displayed on the map.

1) If I download the Rest Stops POI from this site, how do I import that POI file into mapsource to view the rest stop locations on the map,

Greetings,

I haven't found this in the forum archives unless I'm searching for the wrong terms but I bet someone here knows the answer and has hands-on experience with the topic.

I bought a Nuvi 370 before I moved to the Netherlands, the device first of all came without the most up-to-date maps. I called Garmin and they were nice enough to send updated maps. Does anyone in this forum have POI's for the Europe/Netherlands???.

Another post noted that Garmin announced new Nuvi 205 and 255s will come out this spring. The 255 appears to have all the capabilities and more than the 260, except it has a battery with one hour less of life.

Its odd... there is lots of room to keep that "Menu" button constant through all the menus, yet it disappears after you press any feature and then sometimes it requires pressing the BACK button 7 or 8 times before you're back at the main menu. Its really tedious.

Anyone else run in to a simliar problem with their 7200?

I received a firmware update while on the road today for my nuvi 250, which kinda surprised me, because i thought you only updated your firmware by using the web updater program.Have anyone had an update like that before and i'm trying to find out what was included in the new update.I've checked the Garmin site but can't find any info on what was in the update.The new firmware update is 3.60.

How do I create my own custom poi with my Garmin 660

I know this has probably been asked and answered before, but I was wondering how to charge my new Nuvi 260 with a USB cable (from a digital camera). Do I simply boot up, unplug the cable, re-plug it, and insert the Nuvi? Will it start charging automatically? How long will it take for the initial charge?

If it matters, I am running Windows Vista.

Thanks for your time.

I am looking to upgrade from my C340 Streetpilot to a Nuvi. I love the C340 but it's kind of bulky to put in my pocket whenever I leave the car. Right now it's OK 'cause it's cold and I'm wearing a coat or jacket. But Spring is on the way and the C340 is not gonna slide into the pocket of my jeans so easily.

Hi Guys N Girls
Thanks for your intrest, I'd like to change the wifes NUVI 200 Soft WV. 3.60 voice from female to male, I've read he's called Dan. Perhaps she will get lost with him LOL . Can this be done, may I be so bold to ask for your help! Thanks.
Ps tried web update link no luck!!!

What is WAAS/EGNOS? It is a mode on my Garmin but i got no clue what it does

Why are GARMIN TAIWAN and GARMIN Europe installed on my c330 if there are no maps for those 2 places
