Question: How do you update the directory on a Garmin GPS?

Here are some answers about your question: How do you update the directory on a Garmin GPS?.

Answers of your question:

My mom got me a GPS for Xmas and I was really excited that you didn't have to bring addresses with you to put into the Garmin, you could just search for the business (Target, Chick-fil-a, etc.) However, a lot of business that are newer (5 years or so) are not in it. Can you update it somehow?

————————

Answers of your question:

Garmin releases new updates every year. Some units allow for ONE free update, visit http://www.Garmin.com to see if your unit qualifies.

If not, it costs money to update the maps and directory information (called Points of Interest or POI).

————————

Answers of your question:

Yes. Pay $70 for the software at radioshack.

Question: How to get geocaching waypoins onto your garmin gps?

Here are some answers about your question: How to get geocaching waypoins onto your garmin gps?.

Answers of your question:

I have bought a garmin etrex legend cx mainly for geocaching, but I cant get the waypoints onto my gps I have the gps pluged into the computer and it says no gps found. does anyone have anyideals on what iam doing wrong? or how to fix this problem?

————————

Answers of your question:

If I remember correctly, the Legend CX uses a USB connection. If it is properly connected, your computer will let you know. Without knowing specifics, here's what I'd recommend:

Check to see if your USB port is working with another peripheral.

Be sure the cable is properly plugged in, both to the computer and to the GPSr.

Make sure the GPSr is on.

Try another connecting cable if possible. My GPS Map 76 CSX uses the same cable as my digital camera.

If these don't work, you might have either a software problem (which I would think odd if other peripherals work) or a hardware problem, which would require technical support from Garmin.

Anyway, should you be able to read the GPSr's presence, then downloading waypoints shouldn't be a problem. Either your programme will have the drivers for that or a simple add-on needs to be installed.

Hope that helps.

————————

Answers of your question:

The most common problem when this happens is not having the correct driver installed. You can download the driver off of the 'Trip & Waypoints Manager' CD that your device should have come with, or you can get it for free directly from Garmin at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downlo…

Start with this, if it doesn't work then I'd suggest the tips from the Mad Scientist above.

Answers of your question:

You might have to go to Garmin's site and download a Communicator Plug-In.

I plan on buying a Garmin GPS-Has anyone in here ever used a Garmin GPS with an FM transmitter in it?

Question: Has anyone in here ever used a Garmin GPS with an FM transmitter in it?

Here are some answers about your question: Has anyone in here ever used a Garmin GPS with an FM transmitter in it?.

Answers of your question:

I plan on buying a Garmin GPS here in the near future but i keep reading on how the Garmin GPS FM transmitter has very low power and is almost useless.Is this true?I would really like to have an FM transmitter on my new GPS and Garmin is the name i want but is the transmitter on these units really useless?Thanks.

————————

Answers of your question:

It's not useless, but some people don't undrstand what it does and are disappointed after they get it.

First of all, it sends the GPS traffic directions through the FM radio, but you have to tune your radio to the GPS channel, meaning you can't listen to FM or music. Some people think that you can stay on music, and when the GPS has something to say, it speaks over the music. That is not true. You get music, or GPS, but not both at the same time.

Second, the transmitter is usually not weak, but you need an empty channel in your area for it to be clear. In some cities, there are so many radio stations that it is hard to find an empty clear channel, so you get interference. I don't think it's a bad problem though.

I don't think it is useless, but I don't see a big need for it, unless your GPS speaker is so weak, and you are hard of hearing – then going through the FM is a good idea, as your car speakers are usually a lot more powerful.

Answers of your question:

It is difficult to say exactly what Garmin GPS is the best one to buy as it all depends on what you want it to do. If you don't need it to pay MP3 music or show videos or read Audio books then don't buy one that does all those things as you are paying for it. Check out http://the-portable-gps.com/garmin-porta… they have a comparison table that compares the features of the different Garmin models and they explain the features. You can also check out discontinued models. That will help you make an informed decision. You can also click on the model that interests you and get a detailed explanation of what it does and owner's comments and ratings on that model. Good hunting.
