Garmin talk

Using the web updater, this update is now available from Garmin. Installs to the Nuvi, then to the antenna assy upon connection. Takes 2 minutes to do. I will test it tomorrow. Hope it helps.

Changes from version 2.20 to version 2.30:
Improve reception while driving through areas of intermittent signal.
Acquire data faster when driving into a new coverage area.

New update for SP 340 4.40 on Garmin website Aug 24

I purchased a c340 in late June. It has the NT 2008 map in it
Map info reads:
City Navigator North America NT 2008. I assume this is the newest version from what I have read so far.

Here is my question.

I just got done updating my Nuvi 660 to Map 2007 and I can't find anything new..

There were new homes built behind me and they've people have been living in them for over a year and those roads aren't in the new maps. A state route extension that opened last year still isn't in there.

I'm in a real mess. I downloaded the new version of Mapsource (6.13.01), and installed it with no problem. I have looked over it and really had no reason to doubt the decision, until now...

Hello -

I'm looking for a a Nuvi 660 power/traffic radio connector (the one that is on the nuvi mount end of the GTM20 traffic receiver) Does anyone know where I can get this connector (other than buying a GTM20 receiver)? Or does anyone have a non-working GTM20 traffic receiver that they would like to sell?

Thanks.

hi
i just got my Garmin 650 few weeks ago
i am having lots of fun
changing POI and pictures

lately i am trying to put different voice languages on my garmin 650
searching on the net i found that 660 is avaliable in Taiwan. and i was able to find a file for mandarin speaking voice file.
someone already converted for North american version.

For those that don't have the beanbag mount and want to know more, there is a review that theyt just did at GPS Magazine...

I would like to know if anyone else has this issue...

I completely discharge my unit before I charge it. I let it tell me when the battery is low, and then I plug it in. I give each charging a full overnight charge.

Garmin just identified the new chipset they will be using in place of SiRF in lower cost units.

I find on my Nuvi 360 if I have the volume set just right for my Bluetooth handsfree that the direction voice (Aussie Karen) is not loud enough. Is there any way to set the Bluetooth volume independently of the directional voice volume?

I have had my Nuvi 660 for about two weeks now and it has performed flawlessly. I have no idea why I waited so long to own a gps unit, but now that I have one I can't see myself without one. I look forward to our up and coming vacation to Disneyworld this December. That being said, I have encountered a repeated problem with my Nuvi when on route to work in Arlington Virginia.

GPS Passion Website has a new story stating that Garmin has reinstituted their old update policy. If you bought your GPSr after the new maps were announced you get a free update.

Here is the link to the story.

Hello everyone! I'm new to posting to the site, and I hope someone can help me with a technical question.

I just downloaded the new 4.30 version of the Garmin software into my C340. It does perform as advertised in doing a faster satellite aquire. However, I was playing with the unit and put it into Simulate a trip mode (GPS receiver off) to let it run through a short trip. This was how I learned on it when I first got it and it worked perfectly then.

What size sd card will the sp 330 hold?

Is it possible to set up the Nuvi 660 so that the direction voice is muted but the custom POI audible alert is not muted?

Is there a method of altering the main screen of the Garmin Nuvi 660? Is it possible to remove the music / media symbol from the main screen? The quality of MP3 playback and audio-book reading is substandard, in my humble opinion. Any ideas as to how to remove it, if possible? I couldn't find anything about it in the full user manual.

New MapSource 6.13.1.

I have noticed that a temperature is being displayed on the main menu screen (top center). Is this coming from MSN Direct? If so, where?
