Garmin talk

The Nuvi 200, my first GPS, is performing really well, I am quite pleased. One oddity, my own house is on the wrong side of the street. If coming down my street it incorrectly informs me that I am arriving at my destination "on right". If I come up the street from the opposite direction it says "of left". I initially obtained my location by punching in the street number and address.

I am trying to get an audiobook (MP3 format) to play in my new Nuvi 650, but the chapters come out randomly.

Using POI-Loader, the audiobook will show up (and I can play it) on the 650, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which little MP3 file (there's over 160 in the book!) it will play in which order. How do I sort them and get them to play ?

When updating my POI files from my POI folder, does it add the files in only once or does it keep adding the files each time? Should I delete the files once I put them on my GPS? Will they take up a lot of space on my GPS?

Sorry there's so many questions!

I just recently got a Garmin Nuvi 360 and it is able to communicate perfectly with my Motorola 551 cellphone. However at times when I restart the Nuvi it goes into this loop showing a "Phone Disconnected" popup every 30 seconds. I suppose it is trying to establish connection with my cell.

To get rid of the message I need to shutdown and restart my cell phone !

I think I've got a pretty good way to put my iTunes playlists onto my nuvi 760. I'm running a Windows XP machine and all my music in iTunes is mp3. Perhaps others will find this helpful.

First, you need iTunes Export, a free open source download from here:

Are there any other extras that can my added other than the POI's?

Well I found a hell of a deal for a 760, and have upgraded from my 660. Giving the old unit to a family member. I hate how this unit though is MSN ready but you need to buy the cable. Anybody know of cheap place to pick this cable up at?

Took my first trip today using the 650, Am a garmin user since the first GPS colormap, Cannot figure how to get the 650 to show interstate exits when showing map view (not navigating), Just shows interstate and direction no exits. Know someone has the solution.
Thanks

After updating my SPc530 yesterday, I disconnected it and turned it back on. A window came up saying there was no map data and could not continue. :>( I couldn't believe it and had no idea what might have happened.

Just got Garmin 660 and testing all features. When attempted to do currency conversion the program would misreport the currency values.ie Euro to Dollars conversions currency rate correctbut when went to currency converter the rate was increased by approximatly 34%. This was consistent with all currency.

Hi. I have a 2730 and a 7500 with the laterst CNNA"NT" V.2008 Maps and they are unlocked and I have it loadede on my PC as well.

I have a Garmin Handheld unit which uses a micro data card and want to load the maps on it too.

I bought a brand new CNNA DVD V.2008 with it's own unlock code.

Hello,
Thanks to those who helped with my hard reset. It did not solve my problem. I had to send it back to Garmin.

I couldn't find this anywhere. Thanks.

I am missing something. I have tried over and over to download and install new vehicles from the garage and no luck. I can go into my computer and e drive is the garmin and I drag and click them into the garminvehicle folder. I can't seem to get them to show up on the GPS unit. Help what am I doing wrong?

I searched and didn't come up with anything.

I'm trying to view elevation/altitude on my Nuvi 200. I did it once, and can't figure out how I did it now.

I read somewhere to touch the satellite 'bars', but that doesn't seem to do anything on mine.

Is there a Garmin product the will accept routes with waypoints? If not Garmin any other brands? Pretty much committed to Garmin but numerous stops are now being uploaded to favorites which works but is somewhat cumbersome.

I received a Nuvi260 for Christmas. I am new to GPS so please bear with me. I figured out most of the features on the unit, but the Custom POI lists are giving me trouble.
When I access the Nuvi under /my computer/ L drive displays Garmin GPS, M drives shows the memory card.

Just bought a nuvi 660 - thinking about returning it for a 650 ($150 cheaper than the 660).

Asked a question earlier about the 660 but still did not get the answer that I needed. Maybe I wasn't clear on my question.

I understand that the only difference between 650 and 660 is that the 650 does not have bluetooth and the fm transmitter - all other features are identical to the 660.

Has anyone else gotten an annoying startup message that states your Garmin Map is over year old?

How do we get rid of this message without updating the map?

Thanks.
