Garmin talk

How many phones can be recognized by the Garmin bluetooth GPS. Thank you.

I am thinking to buy a garmin 370. $450. Do you think it is a good price? thanks.

Can anyone tell me why when the map is zoomed in to the most or second most you pass the road before it shows it on the screen. Is this just an issue with map and sats.... thoughts?

Got my Garmin C550 stolen last week. Ran in the house to grab something real quick, ended up taking 10 minutes... came back out and unit + power cable were gone. :c(

I have a Garmin c340 and when i tried to edit my locations/Favorites in EasyGPS software (such as adding a phone number into Comments) it never seems to work. It will only have one line of text when recalled on the c340.
What to do?

I was looking at the Map Update 2008 City Navigator® North America NT
at this link: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=10397#

What comes on this CD? Just the map updates or is City Navigator NT on it as well?

The Minimum System Requirements shows both PC and Mac. Is there a Mac version of City Navigator now?

I was reading an article over on GPSmagazine (http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2007/07/gpsmagazine_guide_to_geoc...), where the blog was about geocaching. The article mentioned that the nuvi and Streetpilot cXXX series were able to enter coordinates, however my c580 doesn't appear to have this ability.

It states:
-----------------------------------------------------

I have my nuvi 660 set to the female Australian voice. I love the accent!!! They call her Karen, but to me, she'll always be Sheila!!

Driving into SW Washington state, a couple of days ago, on State Road 14 East (WA 14 E), I was surprised to hear, "Take ramp, on right, to Western Australia 14 East."

What??? Did I just teleport 7,000 miles???

There are new software updates for the 7500 & the 2730.

The newest version for the 7500 is 5.1
The newest version for the 2730 is 7.1

Here is what Garmin said about both these updates:

> * Corrected postal code search issue that caused some results to be missed
> * Corrected 'Eject' operation on Macintosh computers
> * Added support for traffic in Canada

Hello everyone,

I'm a recent owner of a Garmin C340. I'm enjoying my GPS very much, but I have just a few quick questions regarding the operation of the unit.

my zumo 550 owners manual says 500 mp3's can be load , i get about 50 then says unit is full. any help

Picked up the Nuvi 360 yesterday as I am having a problem with the suction mount on my C330.

Initial thoughts as compared to my C330:

1) Nuvi 360 volume adjustment needs to be done via menu unlike the C330 which has a volume button on the side

This may be a very silly question that has been covered before, but if your GPS is stolen and it is registered, why cant Garmin track it locate the thief and have it returned back to you???? It makes sense to me hello it is a GPS!!! Why would you even dare try stealing it!!!!

Does anyone know if you can 'speed up' the simulated route process? It works as if you were driving 50mph or less, and takes forever!!

Thanks.....

Hi everyone!

I got just a month ago the 350 and it's great! Suits my need very well. However those who have come to Montreal, QC, will have to agree with me that traffic is a NIGHTMARE especially in summer with all the damn constructions!

Has anyone bought a GPS on eBay? Could they register it? What about mapping?

I read on Garmin's site, they will not support products purchased on an online auction site. I called, asked and was told the following:

I'm considering an update from City Select North America NT v7 to v8 on my C330.
Is the update really worthwhile and if so, does the update erase and rewrite the new data?

After reading the forum files here on the Garmin map upgrade, I contacted Garmin via email. The response I reeived is " I am sorry we are unable to submit your request for a free update disk. We are not shipping the update disk to Canada.

We have made the disk aviaible through our dealers in Canada for you to buy. Here is the link if you would like to find a dealer "

I got a C550 3 days ago and a friend got the Nuvi 350 no bluetooth. I have used mine that last 2 days at work and the boss like it and wants to get one to use for deliveries where we don't have good directions.
