Garmin talk

does the 260 announce redlight camera warning if u included mp3 file like the 350?

I ordered my map udate online about 2 months ago now for my Nuvi 350 (CD ROM) and it has yet to arrive in the mail. Whats the average wait time for a single CD? Seems a tad prolonged to me?!

hello everybody im new here on the site... i just bought my garmin nuvi 660 1 week ago and i accidentaly save the fodors on my garmin so it went to extras.. and i was checking my gps i noticed that its already on my travel kit too so it means i got fodors on my extra and in my travel kit... my question is is there a possible way that i can delete that fodors on my extras features???

Don't know if anyone else had this problem and the fix but thought it would good to post.

I found a huge KMART which is pretty new but it does not show up in my Garmin search for shopping.

How do you report this to Garmin or whomever?

Is it possible to add custom POIs to an Ique 3200?

hi there new to this cool forum with lots of cool things!

i have a garminc330 that i got when it first came out.

now ,i loaded some red light detection,is there a way to set this?or it is there as a ghost?cause i see no icon?and is it good for montreal?

a side from that is there a way to clean up the old poi's in this machine?without deleting them all..lol

The 750 has this really cool feature, however I find it quite cumbersome to access. Going through those layers and resetting to "Offroad" and/or "Pedestrian" modes is awkward at best.

Couldn't a macro be hacked to do this in one swell foop, or is it possible that Garmin will incorporate such a macro & assign it to an on-screen icon in the near future?

Just a thought.

In mid October my S/O and I took a trip to Sedona AZ from Dana Point CA where we live. Trip was roughly 500 miles each way.

The 660 was doing a great job until we decided to grab a bite. I did a check of the POIs that I had on the 660 which included a number that I had downloaded from POI Factory.

I've had a GPS-12 since 1999, and a GPS-V since 2001. Both units show Lat/Lot, and compass course in actual degrees.

The 660 is great for driving, but doesn't show this basic information. How are you all capturing the Lat/Lon for your POIs?

Seeing as Costco has the 650 at an incredible priice I am considering the 650 over the 680. What I would like to know before I buy is how good the Bluetooth functionality is on the 680?

Is the incoming number easy to see on the 680?
Is it easy to dial using the 680?
How is the sound at listening/hearing through the 680?

Any other comments?

Thanks!

I look about these forums and notice something blatantly obvious. Everyone is using a dashboard mounted GPSr. Is there anyone else using a handheld mapping GPS unit like me?

It would be really cool if there was a chart/graph/report which displayed the brand/models of GPS units owned/used. I supposed the information could be gleaned from the user profiles or a simple survey would suffice.

OK, time for a dumb question: having a nuvi 6xx/7xx unit hooked up to a (working) FM traffic receiver, what's the difference in enabling/disabling the "traffic" avoidance? Is there any?

I bought a Nuvi 200w last week and noticed that the voice prompts tells you to turn left and turn right when the road changes from a undivided to a divided road (and vice versa). You can look ahead and see clearly that there are no turns needed but the silly unit prompts to turn left and turn right instead of saying divided/undivided road ahead.

i was reading on gpspassion and seems like nuvi 260 and the "newer" nuvis don't have an alert "ding"?

I recently drove with my wife during rush hour in the Los Angeles area, where many freeways have car pool lanes. The GTM 20 did an excellent job of directing us off the freeway as it was backed up. But, this segment of I405 had a car pool lane and I thought I'd try it. Worked out great, most cars averaged about 10 MPH, we did 50's & 60's.

I am going to buy a gps system, and right now that garmin nuvi 350 is the one that I will probably buy. I do a lot of camping, and I was wondering if this model had campgrounds listed in the factory set POI's?
Any info would be much appreciated!!

Thanks
