Garmin talk

I recently got a nuvi 650 as did a friend. I was helping him figure it out when I noticed that his Audio SW was version 180, while mine is SW version 130. I have run webupdater but it says I'm up to date.

Can someone please explain?

Thanks

I have had my Nuvi 660 about a year now and love it. I have noticed some problems over the past 2 weeks. I am current on all firmware (wondering if that is the problem). On a recent road trip my Nuvi kept losing satellite connection, sometimes it would come back, sometimes you had to reset the unit. Eventually it stopped and we had to turn it off.

Hi
i recently brought GARMIN 660 I used it first time yesterday Garmin 660 did not Speak street names can some one let me know what needs to be done to make garmin 660 to Speak street names.

note: Unit specs says garmin 660 has ability to speack

I was meeting a client in a small town in western Minnesota on Friday, I was coming from the Minneapolis airport using my 680, he was driving over from Wisconsin using an older (I do not know which model) Garmin. He traveled right past the airport also, yet our two units sent us in distinctly different western routes to the same location.

I had a problem with the plub on my new 7200 Garmin unit that required a new screw and Garmin sent an entire new mouting device with all the wires attached. A spare would have cost me $50 but they sent me a new one (when all I needed was a tiny screw) for free and told me I could keep the old one.

Score 1 for Garmin Tech Support.

Anybody want to share what they like or don't like about their Garmin Nuvi 200?

The info I got with my new garmin C340 was just about enough to turn it on.... I downloaded the owner manual from Garmin.com. It is a good basic guide for using this model, But I am finding out on here that there is a lot more you can do with it. Does anyone know where I can get info on all the features of the C340?

I just got my 650 and I'm really diggin it but I want to hook it up to my car stereo so I can have it broadcast through the car speakers rather than the Nuvi speakers. I've tried the FM transmitter thing with other products and I'm not going to even try that route.

Hi,
New to gps. I dowloaded the rest areas poi file together with icon and mp3 file. Also dowloaded the airports poi file. Transfered both to Nuvi 660. While I now see the airport location icons I don't see any rest area icons unless I navigate to one of them, then I see it. Any suggestions much appreciated.

I had some national park poi downloaded ok then I downloaded blue ridge parkway and I dont have my
other sections or downloads.

When downloading do you always check gpx with garmin
extenstion?

What do I do to correct this situation?

Thanks again my unit is C340 street piolet.

is it possible to get maps of europe for the nuvi 660 without paying the big price.??

When I do the conversion to say GPX the lat/lon signs come out backwards. For instance -80 lon and 28 lat converts to S80 and E28.
POI loader makes the conversion correctly, but Bable mixes things up.
I am trying to convert to something that Mapsource can open but I have had no sucess so far.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

When I am in "map mode" I can see many cemeteries. However, I can't find a way to get them into a list box (like I can for hospitals, food, and so on). I don't even find them (the ones I have looked for) when I do a name search. I have looked in "community," where I thought they would be, and not found them.

On my Nuvi 200w after i got to looking around, pushing on the the left corner on the speedodometer/ trip screen for 10 seconds, the total time runs. Not sure if this is normal or not.
can someone tell me if it is?

and if not normal how do I stop it?

Is there a way to see your present longitude/ latitude with a garmin C430?

On my Nüvi, I try to delete all my favorites in one shot instead of deleting them one by one.

First I delete the "current.gpx" file in the nüvi, under the gpx folder. When I power up the gps, the favorites were back, and the "current.gpx" file also.

I was wondering if you were interested in carrying TourGuide files here (or maybe you are and I'm just missing them)? I have a completed one for the Amtrak California Zephyr route. It is set up with voice prompts to announce upcoming stations when you are approximately 2 miles out. I just returned from a trip between Sacramento and Denver and it worked like a charm.

As stated in a previous post I recently purchased the C330. I'm considering dropping it for the Nuvi 260 but need more info on this second unit. Does anyone know if the Nuvi comes with a 2008 map?

I just bought the Garmin c330 on Black Friday and am not surprised that the map is out of date. After reading some other posts on here it seems it may be possible to get a free update from Garmin if I am persistent enough. Question is, will this update POI's as well?

Having difficulty loading POI Files via POI Loader to SD Drive. The Drive is recognized as the Removable G:/ Drive via POI Loader. POI Loader recognizes the CSV files in my download directory. I set the range parameters via Manual load. POI Loader then starts loading and finishes, but when I view either the Garmin or Windows Removable G:/ directory, the files are not there?
