Favorites now only Grey dots

I took a trip this weekend after updating my Nuvi 1450. I noticed that Favorites aren't displayed on the map anymore as Names and my chosen Icons. They only show as little grey dots. Has anyone else noticed this? Is is a result of the update or did I change a preference by accident?

My 1300LM does the same

My 1300LM does the same thing. A little disappointing, but not a deal breaker.

The same happened with my favorites since I've updated firmware to the version 5.2.

I don't have a 1450 so I can't test -- so this is just food for thought

Have you experimented by changing your Map Detail to the least (Less)

and Map Data Layout to Standard (or whatever your nuvi has)

Also view screen at 500, 300, 200 ft.

With my 3790LMT there are changes that take place when these adjustments are altered.

I have written a couple of 'similar' articles about this on my website about POIs and Custom POIs.

==WHERE HAVE ALL THE POI ICONS GONE? - Long Time Passing

==WHERE HAVE ALL THE CUSTOM POI (EXTRAS) ICONS SOMETIMES GONE? - Long Time Ago

they are on page 14 of the General Section

Grey Dots

My 1450 did the same thing so I deleted all of the favorites. Next update I will follow the instructions in another post and save favorites to be reinstalled.

I was looking around on the

I was looking around on the forums. Apparently, this is a bug in the current firmware, according to the discussion on the Nuvi 13xx 14xx firmware thread.
