Welcome / open talk

Where does one post questions/problems with the way the discussion forums behaves? Software related.

Hello everybody, I just got a new Garmin Nuvi 200 from my sister. Decided to join this website, to learn and contribute

Have you guys and gals heard about gps spoofing? Tricking your gps into taking the wrong route? Have a look at these links:

I have some voice files from the nuvi 750 & 760, dated 2007 with various months, some early 2007. I however do not know how to upload( attach ) binary files on this site! Thanks

For those of you who had downloaded my Atomic Test Sites poi http://www.poi-factory.com/node/16988 in the CSV format, you may be interested to know I have replaced it with a new version in GPX.

The GPX contains more information about each experiment. Sites with multiple tests are now combined into a single entry with details of each shot.

I'm an OLD FART trying to down load MP3 music to my Garmin 750 Can any body help me?

I noticed today that the copyright notice at the bottom of the Google Maps page doesn't read NavTeq it reads Tele Atlas.

Good afternoon. I just wanted to introduce myself to the group.

I originally bought my GPS (Garmin Nuvi 260W) for work but find myself using it for everything. I joined the site a little over a week ago and have already created and uploaded 5 POI files and icons.

I've been reading the posts on this forum for the last 1-2 weeks and I just wanted to say that they are great! Thanks to everyone that's posted. Without this forum I'd never been able to add some POI's to my Nuvi 750. Also the problems with MapSource -- I've followed advice from someone and called Garmin and they are sending me a new CD Map disk since my 750 disn't come with one.

THIS IS A REMARKABLE VIDEO.

This is another one of those weeks that happen every once in a while where I am going to recognize just one member.

Turboccc came to us after Gagetguy2008 discovered his TTSVoiceEditor program located here: http://www.gpsreview.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7824

Huge thanks to Gagetguy2008 for bringing this to our community.

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related, you can discuss whatever you would like, as long as it is clean. Remember we have families that have their children involved in the GPS fun and we don't want to make parents feel uncomfortable when their children ask what that word means.

Have fun...

This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is a battery charger on the market, that will charge a spare Nuvi 880 battery or does a spare battery have to be charged, when it's in the Nuvi 880 itself?

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Tailspin

Hi....just signed on...downloaded some files have garmin connected ..but...and I feel kind of silly asking but how do you get the fies onto the garmin..thought it would swync..like an iPod...are there directions somewhere?

Again exploring, I found this site which is a blog covering the spectrum of GPS and GPSr. It is also a RSS feed, and the Amazon "Kindle" has it available as a subscription. Not having a Kindle readermachine, I am subscribing to the RSS feed on My Yahoo home page.

Thought some of you might find it interesting, so check it out.

Nuff said.

Apple has recalled the compact power adapter for the iPhone 3G.

If you have the iPhone 3G, you should read this article http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/39406/135/

I was watching a show on the possibility of time travel, string theory, etc on Discovery channel last night and there was a segment on time relative to gravitational force. Since GPS sattelites are subject to less gravity than here on earth, their internal clock runs faster than here. While a very miniscule difference (1/50,000 of a sec.), the GPS system corrects for the time differential.

Thought some of you might be interested in this picture.

Wonder what GPS unit this guy had!

I just got back from a trip to Tucson today and this was the first time I experienced a lag time in my Nuvi rerouting me due to traffic issues from MSN. There is major highway work going on in Tucson and every exit is closed except the first and last exit. MSN correctly showed the closed exits if you look at the traffic screens, but my 680 didn't reroute me until after I passed the first exit.
