Garmin talk

I performed a quick experiment with my gps today, and that was copying roughly 250mbs of mp3s to it via usb. Bottom line, the end result was about a 15+ minute transfer Time. My plain jane USB thumb drive can have the same block of files in about 2 minutes.

Does anybody know if you can get some kind of gadget for the C550 so the routing instructions come out the vehicle speaker?

Why does Garmins POI download page not list the c530 in the pull down menu...sorry for the stupid questions...newbe

Hello

I was wondering if I am allowed to sell my older version of City Navigator (DVD) on say Ebay or some place like that?

Is there a location where you can download free US Road Maps that will work on a Garmin? I'm assuming that Maps that work with the Garmin are proprietary so you have to come back to them. What really urks me is that you can't make changes to locations that are inaccurate. It's like paying 75.00 for a flawed product.

I finally figured it out how to show your custom POIs on map. Search your custom POIs by Spell Name option and then save each of them as Favorites. That is the only way to show them on the map on C330 model.

C330 model can only show your Favorites on map.

I have many locations stored in my favorites folder, and I would like to delete them all, in one fell swoop, instead of one at a time. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how? Thankyou.

FYI only... recently I purchased the SD data card for City Navigator NT, Europe v9 via the internet (from a reseller not an auction).

The external packaging looked ok, however the SD card didnt have any Garmen markings. I sent an e-mail to Garmen to confirm that it was legitimate.

have anyody had any problems with there unit getting satelite reception at any time in wooded areas or around big buildings

So here goes. I was looking for Topo maps the other day for my New Garmin 76CSX I plan to buy in a few weeks and I came across this site.

Does anyone get a low battery warning on their Garmin? My 360 just cuts off cold; no count down to shut off (like going to battery) or anything.

I was driving and I look down and saw a black screen. I powered back up and it immediately shut off again. I plugged in the cig adapter and restarted an all was well. I don't leave my unit plugged in to mitigate battery charge memory.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A NUVI 660 AND HAVE A 2620 I DO NOT USE. IS THERE ANY MARKET AVAILABLE FOR USED GPS SYSTEMS?

I have just purchased a new Kenwood G510 from the US.
I live in Pert West Australia .
I bought this unit because it is half the price in the US.
I am told buy Garmin Aust, that the unit will work here in Aust. But I have to buy City Nav Australia on dic and put it in the SD slot .
My quetion is , will it function ok .
Because the unit is pre programed with Us maps etc.

Maybe I will make some new friends!
I hope so!

Hello,
Anybod knows if it's possible to upgrade the firmware on the unit itself so it'll become higher model, since on 580 all they added was the weather and msn.

Any thoughts?

I could not see any maps covering Israel for Garmin GPS.
Anyone knows where I can find any?

Is there any easy way I can convert printed maps to MapSource maps?

A week or so ago, there was a brief discussion on this board about updates for the C530 & C550 available on Garmin's website.

At least one person reported updating their C530, which resulted in some routing errors. A C550 user reported similar issues with the new update. But that is where the discussion ended.

My Nuvi 660 shows up as 'G' drive and the SD card as 'H' drive. I have no difficulty with file explorer to see G and can read and write to it. Trying to access H says 'Please insert a disk into H'. I have taken the SD card direct to PC and have no difficulty loading an MP3 to it. I started over and formated the SD as FAT32 and still get same results as above.

Just installed the POI Loader Beta Version on my PC. When I run the program, the POI Loader window opens but it does not have the buttons across the bottom. Therefore I am sort of stuck since it won't allow me to continue (nothing to click on).

Anyone else experiencing this sort of problem? I have re-downloaded the program and reinstalled it several times.

Does any know if the GDB50, MSN Direct Receiver will work on the Nuvi 660? If it will, I am not sure the best place to buy it.
