Garmin talk

I just got a new Garmin c580 and am having a hard time getting the MSN to get a good reception. I can be in a location and it gives me all three bars and then later the same day the same location gets me no bars. Anyone seen this issue?

I have one of the new Nuvi 680's with the MSN service. I've been trying to buy an extra MSN cable (makes it easier for me swapping the 680 from car to car to motorcycle). So far I haven't been able to find anyone that has these - including Garmin. Anyone have any ideas?

I am awaiting the delivery of my first ever Nuvi - I have several questions. My biggest is - if you set it up to go to a location and you stop (remove it) and then put it back - does it continue to direct you?

I am interested in how Garmin calculates arrival time (ETA). I have a nuvi 350 and recently took a trip of about 300 miles with all kinds of roads. There was some interstate, city streets with stoplights, state highways with stoplights, and state highways with curves (max 40 mph). I traveled as close to the posted speed limit as possible for the whole trip.

Just tried to register my sp7200 and relized I do not have the "gold Card" and I only have map version 7 any ideas on how I can still register my unit?

Problem:
Dear GARMIN people, recently I had the chance to see the c550 Streetpilot on action. In fact I was very interested to get one but reading the OWNERS' MANUAL I didn't get any info about WHAT SHOULD I DO

Followed directions for downloading "POI Loader," but it doesn't seem to work. That is, I get no "help" or "prompts." Must be doing something wrong. Can't get it to process a "POI" to load into my c330.

Any suggestions? I was able to download it (apparently) but not use it.

I have a Garmin c340. Does the beanbag mounting gizmo by Garmin really work? I read somewhere that it won't work until you buy another gizmo. Anybody has experience with it? I don't want to waste >$30.oo for some useless thing. Can someone point me to a cheaper source?

I reported 6 issues with missing roads, wrong locations of POI, etc in my area back in Dec. 2006. How long does it take before you hear back from them about some kind of resolution. I check on the issues from time to time and it still says they are "open". Has anyone reported a problem with some kind of reply? How long does it usually take?

Since this question wasn't answered, here it is again:

One more question regarding the preloaded maps, since all I know is the c320 with the maps loaded onto an SD card. When updated maps come out and I update them on the nuvi do they get overwritten on the internal memory, or will it not allow that and I would then need to put them on an SD card?

i have a garmin legend and a friend told me about a great application that makes the gps a range finder on the golf course. i contacted GOLFLOGIX and asked if i could download the softwear and the quickly said no,, i have not tried it yet but was wounder if anyone has,,, thank you

I'm relatively new to GPS with a 2-month old Nuvi 680.

Is it possible to "mark" a location once you have arrived to a destination that you did not you the GPS to get to?

I have a Garmin 330. I found this site thru garmin and was wondering how many of these POI's can i actually download before my Garmin is full? Is there a size limit to this thing? Am i damaging it any way by adding these? Does it slow down the preformance of the GPS? These are some of my questions i would like to know the answers to before i start downloading like crazy!

I loaded some custom POI's and everything seems to be good except the distance to at least some(haven't checked all) of the places seems to be wrong. One in particular shows 130 miles away but the maps show it 190 miles. I've Looked at both and they are the same place (Jacksonville AR and Baxter MO). Anybody have any such problems or suggestions what may be my problem?

Changes made from version 6.12.3 to 6.12.4:

Fixed an issue detecting some Garmin mass storage devices.
Fixed an issue at application startup when the expected code pages are not installed on the PC.
Fixed a layout issue in the Czech language waypoint dialog.

I want to know how I can EDIT the pre-loaded POI's/Waypoints. I have found some that are incorrect and want to edit, such as names, telephone, etc. I have a 2720 and have contacted Garmin on this, and they say it is not possible and that I will have to purchase version 9.0 Mapsource when released.

If you're new to the world of GPS receivers, and want to learn the basics go to Garmin's GPS Academy where you can get acquainted with what a GPS receiver is, and what it can do for you. Even comes with a "Miss GPS" as the teacher.... ;)

Hi,
im a part time trucker using Garmin Nuvi 360. The issue with Gps as im presuming you already know is that it doesnt route you difrently beside choosing vehicle as truck rather then car etc.
I was wondering if there is a POI files that will deliver No Trcuk Zones for Usaand Canada?

I would appreciate any help

There is an update to version 3.70. Seems to be some minor changes. May or may not be worth it to some.
