Garmin talk

I received an email within the last hour about the Garmin Oregon 700 series. Perhaps it will replace the Garmin Monterra.

On a recent trip, where I had put in a route, the navigational voice kept announcing every milestone/route/intersection along the route. Can this constant announcement be disabled in some manner? Thank you.

I have been eyeing up the iPhone 5 Active Mount. I am thinking of getting it, and an Apple iPhone, and installing Garmin StreetPilot Onboard. I have a couple of questions, though.

-Will Apple iPhones work in either landscape or portrait mode?

-Will the mount rotate and hold an iPhone in either landscape or portrait mode?

Has anyone had any luck getting the Alert Sounds to work on the Garmin RV760 GPS. I have tried everything I can think of with no success.

Updated and registered my new 57LM using Garmin Express. Worked fine but it showed my memory was 87% used and said to consider more memory. Put a new Sandisk 8GB Micro SD card in 57LM, Used Garmin Express again. All up to date but same memory msg. Formatted SD card to FAT32 with same results. Windows 10 recognizes card but GE does not.

Is out for the 67/68LM and 8.40 for the 26X9 series...............

Which is better the power mount or the magnetic power mount.

For anyone who might not be aware, I discovered that Garmin released a very critical software update for the DriveSmart 50 60 70 series. I have a 70 LMT and it's now running 3.50 and it runs much better particularly as it pertains to Bluetooth connectivity issues which were very prevalent before when using the Garmin SmartLink application.

Anyone else using the Nav V on a BMW factory mount and having problems with the screen going dark (GPS still running) on occasion when you shut the bike off mid ride, say for a quick fuel stop?

Latest Garmin software update done.

My elderly father has recently purchased a Garmin Rhino 650 device.
He's asked me to source the manual for him. He wants the manual in hard copy format.
I can't seem to download one for the 650.
If anyone is able to could they please send me a copy at:

My dad lives 600km from me so it's difficult to show him the manual is stored on the device.

I am thinking about buying a new GPS. I am leaning toward the 60LMTHD. Costco has it for 269.99. What are the pro and cons on this GPS.

Not sure on my DriveSmart 60, if I need Wav files with sox.exe or mp3 files. I could find no reference to it here.

I had to go to Reagan National Airport in DC from Baltimore twice last week. Good thing I had a clue and didn’t trust the Garmin.

Can anyone tell me why my nuvi1350 will not let me change states, just says state not found. Have updated?

Somewhere this afternoon I read something that mentioned that the Garmin Monterra has been cancelled. I checked the Garmin US website and I do see it listed as a previous model? Is that a recent change? Does anybody happen to know if that is the end of the line for Android based Garmin handheld GPS devices?

Suddenly, my Dezl 770 when plugged in to the car charge cable, or the USB cable to the computer, the Display mode goes to night, 1%. Unplugged, it goes back bright. No matter what time it is.

Settings, Color Auto
Brightness, if the cord is plugged in, it asks for the Garmin cable to change the brightness function and the Brightness is stuck at 1%. Unplugged it goes to whatever you set it to.

I tried this procedure on a Garmin Nuvi 1370T. I updated the North American map. I was using a friend's high speed data connection and only wanted to download the install files. I clicked on the button to update the installed maps. I hibernated the computer after the point where it said the download of the installation files finished; and the building map set had finished.

Just want to run this past the audience to see if this would work.

I drive to Mexico every fall and have all my route way-points on my Garmin.

Now this year a friend who has not driven there for years wants to use my way-points.

The unit was updated about 3 wks ago, firmware and map....

Is there anything in particular about DC, that would cause it to take minutes to recalculate? Have never seen it act like that....

My oldest son recently got a used Garmin Nuvi 50LM, but no mounting bracket. I checked at Garmin.com and it looks like the part number is 010-11765-02. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/prod101686.html I am just trying to determine where I should buy this from. Some Ebay dealers show a very low price, but some on-line reviews claim that some are not genuine Garmin parts and to be wary.
