Domski asked:


I am currently looking to purchase a Garmin Nuvi 780 GPS but I need to know if I can set the settings to translate the menu and directions in Polish. Thanks for your help.

pamv asked:


I have a Garmin Nuvi 285W. Can I backup my favorites to my computer? I have had the gps freeze up on me and if it were to have to be sent in for repair or die on me, I’d be lost (literally). I am a sales rep and have all of my accounts in it.

Eric Y asked:


I am thinking of buying the Garmin Nuvi 265T GPS system. I’ve read there are ads. With TomTom, there are no ads but expensive updates you have to download. With Garmin, do the ads underwrite the cost of downloads?

Mamadee asked:


Tried everything. Does this battery arrive charged? Got the GPS from Staples and am having a HARD time learning anything about it. Think I’m just too old to learn new stuff. This is my first GPS and probably my last!! Thanks

ladylion215 asked:


For example, I went on a job interview that was an hour away today and the directions the GPS gave me for the way there and the way home were completely different. Also, I have used my GPS to go to a friend’s new house a few times, each time leaving from my house, and the GPS took me a different route every time. This doesn’t make sense to me. I also feel like it takes me a very round-about way sometimes instead of sending me on the quickest way. Why is this?
It’s a Garmin Nuvi.

Jimbo asked:


I own a Garmin Nuvi 750, and I’m trying to decide whether or not to purchase the MSN Direct receiver accessory. When you purchase the receiver accessory, it comes with a one year free subscription. But, I can’t find anywhere how much it costs per year after that subscription runs out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I would like to know if it’s really worth it. So, if you have this service, tell me what you think.

Tom B asked:


I know how to enter coordinates and I know if I touch the map to save a location, the coordinates appear. But how do I find the coordinates for locations already saved in “Favorites?”

Monk asked:


We have a 2 year old Garmin c340 GPS that does not recognize routing to destinations using ferry services. This tends to send us many miles and hours out of our way if we don’t quickly realize the problem and adjust for it. Our newer Garmin Nuvi unit does recognize ferry service but the older c340 does not. Is there any way to upgrade the older Garmin c340 so that it will recognize ferry routings?

Mex Devine asked:


I’d like to buy a g1 phone but I want to know if the roaming internet plan (24.99) comes with gps or does t-mobile have a seperate plan for gps. Also does the gps in the g1 behave just like a garmin nuvi would giving directions?
