The other poi's display as normal, It appears I can have one or the other but not both together as this is when the problem arises - does anyone know what the problem is? I'm using a Nuvi 350 ...

I am completely new to GPS, and have just acquired a Nuvi 760T, because I understood it would be possible to plan routes in detail on a PC using MapSource, and then upload the routes for the 760 to follow. However, I am now being told by Garmin technical this has never been possible with the Nuvi series. Can anyone please explain whether this is, in fact possible, and how? All the ...

I have a problem with my Garmin 700 series. I use POIEDIT to alter, add or change my locations which worked fine up until recently.. I have a situation now where I cant seem to save my alterations to the Garmin GPX file (Current). I thought it migh be a firmware issue and have upgraded tothe latest (V4) but same thing - I can't save any alterations. Another wierd thing is that one of my ...

This is my first post here! So, hello to all. You have a very informative site. I hope to visite often. Now, back to topic... I was deeply impressed by Ash10's tool to split the VPM file for non-TTS voice file. I was eager to try it until I realized that Julie is a bitch and only talks TTS. Yeah, Francais_Canadien_Julie.vpm is a TTS voice file. I pulled my sleeves and ...

I've been busy writing some new software - it's called Camera Manager, and here it is (well, a beta version anyway ) http://tinyurl.com/nvlm4 When you run Camera Manager, it installs itself in the system tray - in this case, next to the clock: Camera Manager doesn't just sit there, oh no! Once a day, it checks to see if there is an update available to the PocketGPSWorld.com speed camera ...

Help I have just updated my garmin Street pilot i3 to version 3.40 and have downloaded several POIs and safety camera database (placed in the same folder) and uploaded them to the i3 using POI loader. Loader said that it loaded okay. Now when I turn the unit on it will freeze on the 1st or second screen. I have done a master reset but still no luck. Any one out there who can help me please

Hi, I`ve recently bought a 760 Nuvi, am I correct in thinking that you can`t display the time or speed on the standard screen the one which shows the car on the map? Cheers Brian

Firmware Update for GTMxx Traffic Receiver software version 5.00

Hi. Sorry if this has been covered ( I have done several searches ) but is it possible to have the 760 NOT announce the upcoming via points in a route? If I put one or two extra way points in a route to force the avoidance of e.g. a busy junction, the 760 tells me I'm coming up to "the B553" or whatever via point(s) I put in. I'm guessing the answer is no, but I think I have a good case. ...

Greetings, my first post. Got a760 yesterday and I'm already snooping around inside it. One thing I've discovered (even though Garmin Tech. Support said you can't) is that Google Earth accepts the current.gpx file unaltered and displays your trips. Nice!! My question is; just how long can I expect a 10,000 point trip to last? I did a 7 mile trip today and then looked at the log (using Excel...

Might be a contreversial comment but my boss has just bought us all a 250w. I already have a MIO 201 with TomTom 6 loaded. I've not done a direct comparison yet but the TT seems to be a better app.Plus some of the routes the Garmin has (attempted) to take me seem weird (through the center of Glasgow rather than round it was one). I'm wondering if anybody else has any views?-I like the look and...

Last month at the British Motor Show in London Garmin announced a new "Rugged Navigation" PND: the Nuvi 500. This is a waterproof SatNav system for use by outdoor enthusiasts, drivers and mariners. Some years ago one of the big names in Marine GPS talked about producing a PND that you could use in the car to get you to a marina, grab the SatNav from the car and put it in your yacht ...

Just bought a 250 for my wife and I'd like to copy the favourites on my 310 to her 250. Is there a favourites file that I can copy via my PC? If so, what's the filename and folder? Thanks

Hey all, I've been a Tomtom user for years until I bought the disgusting bug ridden 930. Now I just picked up a closeout deal Nuvi 660. I have about 1000 locations stored in a POI catagory for work and add to the catagory often on the TomToms by creating new poi in catagory. Is there an equivalent function in the Nuvi? As in I am at a location and select new poi then the catagory then by...
