Garmin talk

I have enjoyed using the MS program for years, then was faced with the inferior Garmin version. Ugh. I find it much easier to plan trips forcing scenic motorcycle routes with Streets and Trips and generally a bit of a struggle with City Navigator. Sure it has gotten a little easier over time, but it is still not nearly as intuitive.

Are there any updates for the Garmin Nuvi 260? Thanks.

Hi
I just became active and downloaded the red light cam csv (thanks, Ms. POI and all others). My question must be a FAQ, but searching either gave me nada or a many to many posts to check. So with apologies, here goes, and please just point me in the right direction.

can any one tell me if there are any problems with 5.20
i have 4.20

I did a search and i can't find a definitive answer to my question.
My Nuvi came loaded mith software vesion 3.90.
I updated via webupdater to version 4.20, everything went good but I was wondering if there is a way to go completely back to the previous 3.90 version?
Before updating I did download to disc of all the files on my 660 so i do have a copy of the previous files.

I have loaded poi into the 660 with the poi program and it says that it has loaded but when I get into the 660, I can not find the list of poi anywhere.
Please help.

Ciao,

Hi again: This has been a real help to me in learning mu new Nuvi 250W. Question is, when i am hooked up to my computer i cant operate my Nuvi. Is this normal or is there a way to make it work when plugged in to my PC. Please help if you can. Thankyou. Until next time.

My Nuvi 680 quit working would not get a signal so I took it back to Best Buy today and they gave me a brand new one still in the box.......this is the second new one I got in less then a year....I bought the 4 year extra warranty and I sure am glad I did....has anyone else had the same problem? I sure love Best Buy

I had this setup working just fine. Now for some unknown reason the audible alert has stopped functioning. Here are the details. Please let me know what I am missing....
>>Garmin nuvi 350
>>Using Garmin POI loader version 2.4.2
When loading POI's I select the default 'express' mode.

I am storing all my POI files in a folder called "POI's"

I have recently bought a Nuvi-660. One of the sale-points for me... was the supposed Blue Tooth capabilities. I have a phone w/o Blue Tooth, but was able to purchase a Blue Tooth Adapter for it (some time ago, now) made by Cardo {(the Cardo BTA II)[that's BTA-2]} This adapter plugs right into the headphone-jack on my cell-phone.

when I am traveling with my GPS on, it wont show that I have crossed a street until I am about 2 seconds past it in real time. In other words, I will be well past the intersection when it shows on the GPS that I am crossing it. Is there anything I can do to help this? Should I be concerned, or is it pretty normal? Thanks for the help.

I know this is more of a computer issue than GPS but, thought I'd ask.

When I hook up my Nuvi 660 to my computer with the USB, Adobe Photoshop Album program runs automatically and looks for files on the Nuvi. How do I disassociate that program from my GPS?

What is supposed to be the difference when u change the settings from normal to most?? (for example). I tend to see the same thing on screen when i select one or the other.

I tried a search and the FAQ section but could not find instructions on how to do this. Can someone point the way or better yet just tell me? Thanks

Well, my last post was answered sucessfully so here is another one. I was using my Garmin 2610 in conjuction with Mapsource. I now have a Nuvi 250W. Will it work with my mapsource,in other words can i download routes from my Mapsource to my Nuvi,SD card or the Nuvi Itself.I have tried and its not working. Please advise. Thankyou.

Is there a diagnostic screen on the Nuvi 250 W? If so how do you get to it. Also I found if you hold down on the Signal Strength meter for about 10 seconds you get the GPS page with Satellite Info as well as Lat-Lon Speed Accuracy by foot and Altitude. Pretty cool looking screen I might add. Please help if you can. Thankyou

I see all of these requests for the current mapping software and mapsourse by Garmin users. Why can't they just have it available for a download on the net?

Crazy question. When I come to an intersection, my vehicle shows to be right in the middle of the intersection rather than at the beginning of the intersection. Not that big of a deal, but is this normal?

is there a way to download the canada portion of the 2008 upgrade to the 330 sd card and if yes how big of a card would i need
