Welcome / open talk

You are right. Everybody is happier talking GPS.

Does anyone know where I can get a cradle and charger cheap for my nuvi 680

Hi Eveybody,

Question - Non Used Icons on a Nuv1 760 - Can you delete them?

Ie the MSN icon, the Pictures folder and the MP3 Folder, can these be deleted, as i will never use them.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would post a quick introduction. My name is Randy and I live in Arizona. I just purchased my first Garmin Nuvi (760) and stumbled across this site while doing some research on it. I was anxious to sign up and I'm looking forward to learning and contributing where I can. There's so many topics I want to better understand and I'm guessing this is a great place to start.

How helpful and accurate is the information provided by msn enabled devices is it worth checking into or you know CRAP just wondering.

There has been a lot of bandwidth expended talking about if cell phones will replace standalone personal navigation devices. Here is a link to an article that helps explain some of what is driving cell carriers to provide GPS on their cell phones.

Does anyone know if there’s a battery available, for the Nüvi 880, with a higher capacity, then the stock battery that ships with the unit?

The battery life of the Nüvi 880, is rated at only 4 hours...

Thanks for your time.

I know the public library has some e-books, and the net has some places as well for cash. what is your favorite venue for selection and price. I am specifically looking for "The Great Depression" documentary. I heard it on the car radio a long time back, and it was very close to come of today's events. Thanks

I am getting reports from file managers letting me know that they are getting emails requesting that their coordinates be changed because they are a bit off.

The difference being only a few feet, front of the store or in the street versus in the parking lot.

I would like to wish a happy Veterans day to all the vets. both past and present. I thank, and Salute you.

How can i make buddy and how does it help?

I am wondering what is special about the speed & redlight POI's that enable them to pop up on my Garmin 660 with a red warning bar at the top of the display. None of the other POI's such as rest areas show up automatically as do the speed & redlight files. If you can tell me what makes this happen, how can I modify other POI's to bring up an alert automatically when I am approaching the POI.

OK everyone, we are just a few weeks away from one of the best shopping days of the year. Please post links to great deals, and your plans for your Black Friday purchases.

This week we are recognizing Grush and Ramcruzer.

Grush, You have been asking some very interesting questions lately that have shed light on things that other people may have been curious about. It is really nice to have you join our community. You are so nice and I really look forward to reading what you write.

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.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site as well as new to using GPS devices. My first device is a Garmin c510 which I bought "refurbished". It has worked great for me so far. I have even been able to install [from this site] a customised POI file. Aren't I clever! The POI was a listing of state parks. It installed just fine with no problems at all, using the POI Loader from Garmin.

I have run a few red lights in Washington, DC recently, that my TomTOM showed had cameras. Anyone gotten tickets sent to them in the mail before?

the voice acctivation keeps going off on my tom tom which is very frustrating
