Anybody have any suggestions for doing cord "housekeeping"?

i need to get help on how to use my screenshot

Does anyone know if there is a way to add different formats on a Garmin Nuvi? I have a Nuvi 370 and would like to be able to use MGRS format. All mine allows now is Lat/Long and British National Grid. All of my other Garmin products with the exception of the nuvi have let me use MGRS. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this?

Garmin just released the news on the enhanced MSN Direct v2 http://www8.garmin.com/ces/nuvi780/index.html

I will be at CES and will get all the low down on this one. http://www8.garmin.com/ces/

Hello-I just purchased the garmin 680 and would like load red light cameras and speed traps--read info on the POI loader from garmin and set a folder up for the POI's---heres my question ; I have two different POIS -if I was two load both would the unit show the total of the two combined(assuming many would be duplicates on the two POIs)-thanks solutionworks

Hi, Can you install ALL the new maps on the SD card? I wonder if you could. They say that you will have to put the 48 states in the unit and then put Canada and the Provinces on the SD card. What would happen if you just put everything on the SD card?

I recently got some good deals on SD cards at a boxing day sale.

I bought a couple 2GB and a couple 4GB cards because I wasn't sure which would be better in my nuvi 650. I'm looking to keep one kind and return the other.

I understand there are some limitations regarding the # of mp3 files that can be stored on an SD card or read by the GPS unit.

I did a search... nothing obvious and/or recent showed up...

I'm using a StreetPilot c340.

Need an SD card for your Nuvi? Buy.com has a 2 gigabyte Kingston card for $13.95, with free shipping. It's a full sized SD card, not a mini or micro. I have no connection with Buy.com except as a customer; I bought two 1 gig micro SD cards from them recently and was satisfied with both the product and the service.

Which Garmin model has voice address input?

If I make my own set of voice files, do the individual sound bytes (wav files) have to be the exact same size as the original, or when I make my new .vpm file will it adjust accordingly and recognize the new lengths of the wavs and just go by the filenames and play the clip no matter if its a second or so longer?

Hi all,
Does anyone have a POI file for the YMCA locations? More specifically, I'm looking for locations in Ontario.

BTW... this is a great site. I've learned a ton in the past few weeks.

Has anyone experienced a bug where the navigator tell you to go South when it means North? For example, it will say take route 29 South when it means route 29 North. Once I take the correct direction(North) it knows I am on the correct one...

Has anyone got .mp3 files to work for alerts on the Palm Garmin Mobile XT software for a Palm cell phone Treo like the Treo 755p ?

The alert tone works as does a .bmp file. The file names are all exactly the same for the .csv .bmp and .mp3 files for input to POI Loader.

I'd seen this brought up often, so I decided to start it and see how it went.

Josh Moran; Wonderful Garmin CSR- very polite, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Requested his supervisors email and sent him a letter to let him know how appreciative I'm that he has guys like this on his team.

A most interesting article on the new antenna firmware upgrade for SiRFstarIII GPS receivers and SiRFatlas and SiRFtitan multifunction SoC navigation processors Antenna upgrade. It not only talks about the upgrade, but detail how sats are acquired by SIRF. Surprising info. A must read if you are a gadget guy.

Maybe everyone else know this, but I discovered something that may help folks who where wanting a Mega file of all food places or stores in a city. This is for the StreetPilots (c330, c550 and c580) I've tested.

I have used the Red light warnings and they work like a charm. I have the Garmin 760 that I got for Christmas.

It dings and works great. Quick question. Can you add a voice prompt to it as well, such as "Red Light Camera" or something like that to the 760?

Not really a big deal, but was curious.

Thanks for everyones help thus far!

You know how your Garmin tells you to keep left or keep right when another freeway branches off of the freeway you are driving on? In general, this is a useful feature, and I like it.
