MP3 Coast to Coast files

Where can I load those files on the Nuvi 770, can I place them in a directory on the Nuvi drive?

MP3 Categories

My nuvi 360 has default mp3 "Genre" categories such as Classical, Electronic, etc. Does anyone know how to create or add to these categories and if files on the sd card can be placed in existing or new categories?

I put a file on the sd card and when I select Genre, it appears in the "Unknown" category. Huh?

680 Charging

Just bought my NUVI 680 and have a question. When I connect it to the AC charger, the unit comes on automatically just as if I pushed the power button.

Is this normal?
When I push the power button when AC charging, the quick settings volume & brightness appear.

I did a search and couldn't find any info on this.

Thanks.

Missing POI information

Hi, I am a new GPS user, just purchased a Nuvi 260 and was wondering why certain older businesses did not show up while newer locations of the same chain (name) appeared. Any help appreciated, Thanks!

New Nuvi's

I know Garmin wants you to buy a new unit for everyone they make, and I'm glad they are making new ones, but I see alot of people with 6xx angry they couldnt upgrade to certain features of the 7xx, and now so quickly release the 8xx. What are we supposed to do sell our used ones for half, and pay top dollar for each new one.

Language Pack & Extra Languages in the "Voice " directory

I have the Language Pack installed on my Nuvi 770, when I deleted all of the extra languages from the voice directory to make extra room, I had lost all the spoken feature of the Language Pack.
Does anyone know which languages should be left undeleted in the "Voice" directory so that the Language Pack is not affected.

poiedit

I downloaded poiedit to my PC. Now when I download csv files from this site instead of being in excel they are in the poiedit format as are all other POIs on my computer. Now the problem. The excel files have 4 columns--Lat, Lon, Name, and address. However the poiedit files only have 3 columns--lat,lon,and address. The name is missing. What am I missing or is that just the way it is.

New Vehicles and Nuvi 200

A new user here again. Is it posible to add new vehicles such as the Navi_girl.srf to a Nuvi 200 for use in pedestria mode?

If so, how? Does the POI-LOADER hadle that too?

Nuvi 660 Lock up....Any One Else?

Hi Everyone,

While traveling down the freeway today I noticed that my Nuvi 660 had locked up tighter than snot! I tried shutting it off via the power button but even that would not work so, I push the rest button under the antenna on the back of the unit and that reset it to working again. Has anyone else had any lock problems with their Nuvi 660? Software version 4.10

Thanks Much!

Hi guys, and gals.

nuvi 680 update issue

I updated to the latest version of SW for my 680. Since then I have not been able to use the backspace key. If I make a typo then I have to exit all the way out and start over again. Anyone else with this problem.

Downloading

I am really gonna feel stupid when this gets answered. When I download files they come up on notepad, what then. They won't copy/paste, what do I do.....Go ahead make your day.

o Where I Am
o A Destination to Pick
o My Current Route

POI Voice alerts for Garmin Nuvi 660

I have carried out the speed camera downloads and converted the voice alerts to mp3 as your recommendation, but I only get the standard alert sound, not the voice alert. Where have I gone wrong, or can't I play these on the Nuvi 660
Regards
Brian

Bluetooth 3.00 update

My caller ID on the Nuvi shows a bunch of @#&!% characters...??? Anyone else?

I contacted Garmin and they emailed my the 2.x firmware with instructions on how to downgrade my unit.

Breaking Up With Garmin

I have had a 4 yr relationship with Garmin products that seems doomed to an ugly breakup. As with most of these situations it stems from a series of small things building up to the end.
