6800 Garmin GPS.......

Oh the note of pirating: PPCGeeks is cracking down on cracked apps, paid software for free, warez and such.

But I'd like to add that you don't even need to crack anything. I just used the version from Garmins site and my Garmin maps. Yeah you need those for the fullest functionality.

Oh BTW does anyone have problems getting it to give you street route? Mine says not on road when (if I have the pref checked) it will place me on a road.

hi everyone, i am new here, i have a Garmin Nuvi 660 that one of my uncles gave me, but it is asking me for a 4 digit password and i ask me my uncle for it but he for gat it, by the way i live in Nicaragua, can some one help me?.....please....

Some garmin devices will speak the street names but not all software/hardware will support text to speech. However garmin XT does not support TTS so you will be out of lunch until they decide to change that but I doubt they will because their more expensive units offer it.

The 4 digit code is a security code on the device to prevent unauthorized use of the device. The same thing you can do with a cell phone. With that, the code was set buy the owner of teh Nuvi. If the GPS was your uncles, he should find it easy to remember a four digit code he programmed in the device on purpose to prevent unauthorized use. Once your uncle gives you the 4 digit code, you should be good to go.

Problem I'm running across with Garmin Mobile XT is that the refresh rate seems horrible. I've used TomTom Navigator 6 for awhile, but the problem has been that places I go to have been affected by construction that the TomTom maps don't account for yet. Garmin does though, and so I gave in and bought the software. My problem, for example, is that I can pass through an intersection and it can take up to 3 or 4 seconds to show I've p***** the intersection. This can cause problems in areas congested with streets when I'm trying to figure out exactly WHICH street/exit I am supposed to take. Anyone know of a way to correct this jerkiness within the maps? It might be something simple I am overlooking.

EDIT: Not really sure why that word has asterisks through it. All it was is the past tense of the word "pass"

Yeah there need to be a better refresh rate. I'm going to check on that soon as soon as I'm done with other things.

So what's wrong with pass ed, anyway? It's not bad or anything.

I'm not really sure myself lol. Yeah this refresh rate is leaps and bounds behind the TomTom software. I'd like to try out Iguidance, but none of these companies offer trials, and I don't wanna fork out more money for software I don't know will work for my needs.

Well maybe it's in settings somewhere. I can't check because my mobile xt isn't activating since I got a new phone. I need to contact garmin. But there is nothing in the registry to edit checked there.

Anyone got this working on the 3.49 Sprint Rom? I flashed my phone to a new rom and now it doesnt seem to work.It installs fine but then gets stuck on the black garmin boot screen

Do you guys think it's wise to update from 4.20.20w to 4.20.50w? Friends on 4.20.50 say they're locked into intermediate and even if they switch to com4 after they shut down/restart it reverts back. They also get that "signal lost/night mode/time change" Am I missing any type of features by staying with 4.20.20?

4.20.50w seems to be working fine for me on the new rom
