Is there any way to edit the voices on the Garmin. Instead of 'Recalculating' I could have 'for F~~~s sake you've gone wrong again' this would impress my humorous friends and family. I would say 'it came like this they are all the same' .

thanks

Hi,

So reset my Garmin SEAT Portable System via Garmin Fresh. It downloaded, installed and checked the install, and all appeared ok. Unplugged the device, it tried to startup then came up with this screen.

Saying “Garmin Software cannot be started. Contact the Garmin Service Center”

Tried restoring again, still the same. Tried install with an SD card in it, still same.

Anyone help? It worked fine before trying to restore it.

Cheers

Hello. I got my hands on a Garmin 2559 which had a lifetime Western Europe map on it but I wanted to install Full Europe map. I've done several map updates on other Garmin devices and had no problem at all. I patched the gupdate.gcd file with imgpatcher, converted it to rgn using rgn tool and with Updater I loaded the patched firmware on the device. Before being patched it said that the new maps ...

Back again.

So used in using TomTom.

Having installed the latest updates of Cyclops. Although the Garmin alerts if when in a 'safety camera zone'.

Can it show the actual location of the Safety camera location as with TomTom.

Also as I found with TomTom not all locations are listed/alerted, with TomTom I could add a camera location to my device and built up extra locations.

How with Garmin.

thanks

Trying to set-up my sons Garmin for Canada and UK, where I normally use my TomTom.

Wanting to download various POI's for Red light camera's, Petrol stations, Supermarkets and many more.

But looking on 'GPS POI File' website for Garmin, there are several formats ie: Garmin POI BMP, Garmin POI CSV, and Garmin POI GPX to display when nearby etc as on TomTom.

Which one should be used for the nuvi 760.

thanks

Shortly shall be travelling to British Columbia and Alberta.

Previously I've used my TomTom and found it sluggish.

So this time I'm trying my son's NUVI 760 with a SD card.

Can anyone suggest which map I need to mount on a sd card as I am totally a novice with Garmin having used TomTom.

thanks

If you have an old Garmin Nuvi, it has a built in MP3 Player.

However, you can only have 1,000 max MP3 files.

Solution: Use some free software to do an "MP3 merge" of the songs on an album.

If there are 10 songs on an album you will get 1 larger MP3 file with the 10 songs in it.

Put this new larger file on your Garmin thinks you only have 1 song, not ...
