Garmin talk

can anyone tell me how many waypoints I can have in a route that I made in mapsource and work on a quest. I'm used to making routes for my 2820 and have the ability to use 200 waypoints but I have been told its allot less for the quest

thanks

I just saw thru WebUpdater that a new version software was available, ver 4.10 from ver 3.80. Seemed like a good number of bug fixes, none that seemed especially crucial. Was looking for some feedback on the update before I jumped into it. Anyone who has updated have any issues, problems?

thanks,

Much to my surprise, (and Garmin's), it appears that the latest map for the Nuvi series does not have very many "Staples" stores in their POI. With this being a new map, we wont see a fix for at least another year. Confirmed with Garmin tech support, this built in POI will not be in their upcoming 700 series.

What's your take on screen protection for your touchscreen. Are the garmin touchscreen well made where scratches rarely happen or should we all run out and get one?

I have an etrex Vista Cx & have the older version of the Topo maps. I noticed they came out with a 2008 version & was wondering if anyone had updated to the 2008 version from the older version & could tell me if it was worth the money. It doesn't look like it is upgraded all that much so if someone could tell me who has done it it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 250. I have installed the Garmin POI Loader onto my Windows XP system. When POILoader is started, there are no menu items or any actions I can take.

How should this POILoader be used?

My Garmin is connected via the USB cable and I know the connection works. I have uploaded new vehicles to it. Yet, POILoader does not give me any options to do anything.

Ideas?

Found a good web site to pre-order the Nuvi 7XX series at the best prices I have found.

Hello everyone,

Shouldn't I be able to see my gps drive on my computer when I plug it into the usb port?
How elso would I replace sounds and such/

Thanks for your help

I am getting in the Geocaching, I am using my C330, and I find this game very good. Any body in here playind this game?

Hi,

Would anyone know if there is a search feature on the Nuvi 350 when entering a street address?

Usually, when I type in a street name or city, the GPS would auto complete and display results similar to that spelling.

But yesterday, I was trying to meet a friend in Brooklyn (NYC). He told me to meet him at the intersection of 13th ave. and Bay Ridge Parkway.

I am getting ready to install the Map Update on my 2730 and wanted to back up my Favorites. I don't have very many of them, but the few I have, I wanted to save them by backing them up.

I put my 2730 in the "USB" mode and looked for the .gpx file and there is no .gpx file to be found.

I tried the poi file too and it's not there either.

All I could find was the POI.GPI file.

My cell phone (nextel I880) isnt able to tranfer my address book through bluetooth. I am wondering is there a way to upload my outlook address book or an excel file?

Firmware update for MSN Direct Receiver to software version 2.30. Not sure what it does, but any improvement is welcomed.

Congrats to Keith for his new Nuvi 750. Awesome!

Expected to ship late October.

I opted for the 750 instead of the 760 because I'm just not getting much out of bluetooth on my 660...I'm just underwhelmed when it comes to bluetooth...people I talk to while on the road seem to favor using a bluetooth headset compared to using the 660; and using wired earbud/mics even better than bluetooth.

I have downloaded POI for Flying Js, Starbucks and rest stops. I expected to see them on my Garmin 660 screen while traveling, but they do not show. how can I get the POIs to appear on the screen map as I travel?

Since I put some custom POIs and the 2008 Canadian maps on my 2gb SD Card, my C530 asks me the same question everytime I power it up: "New Extra data found on card. Would you like to install this data so that it will be available if the card is removed?"

Is there a way to get rid of that annoying question? I always leave my SD Card in therefore I always answer No.

Hi Folks!

Just got my Nuvi 360 on Friday, and have been playing with it all weekend. Already have some custom POI's loaded (BIG thanks to those posting them!).

Trolling for opinions on Garmin Streetpilot C550. Appreciate any pros and cons on this gps. I really want the Nuvi 660 but's pretty expensive.

Thanx,
Ray

Thank you for contacting Garmin Cartography. I apologize for the mapping errors and we will do everything possible to correct the issues in a future update.

RE: Nuvi 660 - Touch screen accuracy, if you are having issues with the Touch Screen, try putting the screen face towards your Air Conditioner vent for about 15 seconds with the cool air blowing on it. See if that corrects the problem. This ghosting will usually occur in the summer and when the unit has been in a hot car for a while. Stronger sun, higher heat, quicker effect.
