Garmin talk

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.

Wow.

She's cute. :) And sings too.

I had to send my Nuvi back to Garmin b/c of a bad power button. I had no idea how dependent on it I had become until I almost got lost taking my daughter to her preschool this morning. Seems that I do not pay much attention to the route I am taking anywhere I just let Jack lead me along, lol.

Hi, I activated my free 1 year MSN service in my new C580. It’s been 4 hours, and by 580 still says “not activated”. How long does it take?

Also, on the MSN signal strength, I get one bar (out of three). Could this be the problem? If so, is there a way of adding an external antenna?

I did install the latest MSN update yesterday.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi All. This is my first time posting. Been lurking for a bit.

Anyone experience the Nuvi 660 freezing while playing MP3's? It has happened most recently when an alert went off and the MP3 was playing through the FM transmitter.

I have updated 2008 maps and the updated operating system if that has any bearing on it.

I see that Nuvi 350 gives alerts when it is 0.2 miles away from turn, on highway, it tell you about around 1 miles. Is there any way, I can change ? Sometimes 0.2 miles can't give you enough time to change lane .

Thanks

I'm using a PC with WinXP Home SP2. Since updating my 2720 with the new City Navigator North America NT 2008 Update, I now show the following 2 entries in the "Add/Remove" section of Control Panel. This is in addition to Mapsource, Webupdater, etc.
