Garmin talk

has anyone updated to those versions? If so, any problems?

Has anyone used there GPS for listening to audio books on long trips? How much free space on a card is needed? Where do you download them from, and what do they cost? Are they abridged, or the whole shooting match of a book? Thoughts? Advice? I do get tired of listening to the same songs ad nauseum, and I've got a couple of long trips coming up.

I recently purchased a new lap top, downloaded the POI loader which was good, but for what ever reason the POI icon did not appear on the desk top, like it did on the PC. Being some what new at garmin and computers could some one let me know where the icon went or how to creat a short cut for the desktop. Thanks for the help. RVN4US

Does anyone have any recommendations about which files to add to a new 650? We will be full time RVing and I want to add RV parks and whatever else might be suggested but I am VERY confused by the list of options. Suggestions for the best files would be appreciated.

I bought a 2GB card for my Nuvi and am interested in using it to store pictures and waypoints. Do I have to create folders on the card then install or does the Nuvi take care of that for me? What do I do to manage the extra space?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

My understanding is I can not use mapsource or any other PC based system to plan a route or set waypoints. That is a tradeoff of buying the low priced unit and saving $100.

how do you install all schools in cincinnati to the garmin nuvie650????

An update for the Nuvi 6XX Bluetooth option released today. Easy Web Updater install.

Changes from version 2.80 to version 3.00:
Improved phone ring-tone support
New special pairing mode for some phonebooks
Improved support for text messaging

I uploaded my Nuvi 660 with POIs. The POI file containns only longitude, latitude and location name. I uploaded icons and mp3 files as well. When I checked the Custom POI on my Nuvi, the locations were indicated on the map with their icons . But, when I'm navigating (driving), my POIs does not appear on the map. Is there a way to view my POIs while navigating?

Most of the Zumo users here are probably users at the Zumo Forums, but just in case you haven't seen this.

hello all! thinking of buying a nuvi 350. reading on garmins web site says it will hold up to 500 waypoints. reading thru the online manual, i see no way to access the waypoints. what i am trying to find out i guess is this, can i do itinerary planning on the 350? can i download itineraries made by others and load them into the 350 and how do you access them?

I have a Nuvi 660 and just bought a 650.

I'd like to copy some things from the old unit the new one.

Does anyone know the files that I need to copy from the 660 to the new unit to get my:
Home
Favorites
Recently Found
POIs

thanks

Albuquerque isn't quite up to date with full Traffic functions yet. So I was pleasantly surprised on my trip to Seattle and for the first time got to experience the dynamic content for Traffic from MSN Direct in full.

After reading all the positive remarks over this mount and against my inner feelings that this thing looks pretty ugly I went ahead and ordered one when Dell had the super price of $26 with free shipping.

Reading between the lines of earlier posts, and after communicating with Garmin and getting advice there, it appears that the extra voices I added to my unit cannot be deleted.

I re-installed one of them, hoping an "uninstall" utility would appear, but it didn't.

I wanted to make a bit more room for some poi files, but I do have the two I really wanted: red lights and combined rest areas.

Yesterday my Garmin 680 was working fine. I set my location, it took me there. I turned it off, got out of the car and transacted my business. When I got back in the care and turned on the GPS it displaced a map of my current location and kept displaying acquiring satellite. As I drove, it kept displaying the original location and continued to show acquiring satellite.

It seems that Garmin (FANTASTIC customer support) does read posts in the Factory so I wonder if Miss POI would allow us to use this as a place to post what we would like to see "upgraded" or "changed" by Garmin.

Does anyone have an easy way to deep six 3.00 and go back to 2.90...after a week I am less than happy about the alleged upgrade. I had one hang up during recalculation where the machine just froze (never did that before) and it seems my start up times are getting longer.

Where can I buy the users namual for the 650?
Can't download it online.
Thanks Rich.
