I have finally taken photos of my Garmin Nuvi 5000 GPS with backup-camera and I cannot add the photos to my garage.

I will appreciate anyone advising me? As I have cropped the photos to fit the allowance and all I get are the same two I always had

Please HELP ME DO THIS? Thank you, CIPNGAS

It's most likely the resolution you picked for the camera-- probably too fine for uploads.

Instead of trying to adjust the mb size, just use an alternative like www.photobucket.com or similar.

never mind...the three photos are on photobucket but don't know what to do next...thanks anyway...this has given me the blues today...so I will just forget about it...however a Garmin GPS Nuvi 5000 can be permanently installed in the right hand glove box which when Yaris is put in reverse, you have a colorful accurate backup camera...thanks again......

On the page with all the photos, go the bottom, click the box that says to "select all" then go the farthese right button that says to "Generate Html and img code"

When the next page loads, copy the second or third box and paste it here.

Check out this thread that I put together a while back. It has detailed instructions for adding photobucket pictures to a post:

I used 3 hockey pucks, screwed and glue them together, then applied the suction plate to the 3 pucks. I put my contraption in my cup holder as I do not drink coffee, so its the perfect spot for me.

We should put up a sticky thread in electronics that's just for showing where people have mounted their GPS units in the Yaris.

Would be useful for all those who are looking to get a GPS unit.

I'm impressed.
It's simple, it's easy, it's significantly more stable than just sitting on the dash...

:thumbsup: 2 thumbs up :thumbsup:

HA HA HA! Yes, a Canadian or Northern U.S. American would of come up with this design.
Thanks for all the reviews! I tried using a metal can but I needed a flat surface to mount the mounting plate onto it. The pucks are the perfect size to fit in the cup holders...and I bought them all for a dollar each at the Salvation Army store, then I spray painted them black.

Sorry, to take over your post CIPNGAS! :)

Solved it.....took a kidney bean can, wrapped it in duct tape (black) to stabilize. Works perfect.

i thought it was illegal to have something cover up your meters (speed and etc)?

If you are talking about the hockey pucks picture, that was only to show how he did it

Wouldn't know and even if I did ... different laws here .. Puerto Rico ... anyways ... why would you want to want to cover them ... the more gauges and lights the better!!! (rice-ish comment I know ... )

oh,
well its also a good place to place a gps thing on there
i have a tomtom and its small enough to where i can still see my speedometer even when its on there, and the speedometer is kinda the only thing i really look at when driving other then the rpm

I don't say it cus' you need to see the speedo and the tach I'm just saying the more your car looks like a light show the better ...

I prefer to have the car look bone stock and just bump up the performance

not to keep a thread hijack going..

I was just showing how the pucks looked screwed together, when I took the picture...I wouldn't drive with the GPS covering up the gauges. Safety first my friends! :)

No, he's going about 52 mph. It's showing KM/H. (Canada) :wink:
