DOES THIS UNIT SUPPORT RED LIGHT CAMERAS? IF SO WHERE CDO I GET?

Is it possible to put the POI files on the sd car which holds the current map?

I normally use the Europe map and find that when I load the USA sd card and upload POI files using POI loader, the files are put in main memory along with gpx files from every other country. It would be great to have just the relevant POIs pop up when seaching rather than every POI list available in main memory.

I need to ask for advice again.

I have all the POI's I want installed on my 855 including icons. Icons are set at 2MB in the BMP format and I can see all icons on the screen. All A1 OK

Now I know that my 3790 uses jpeg for icons and WAV files for sound and I believe that the icons should only be 1MB in size.

I noticed a lot of POI files for such things as Walmarts, Truck stops,etc. When loaded on my Garmin, how exactly do I locate a specific store, etc. Does it pop up anywhere or do I have to go into a file. Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Until recently I had put complete faith in my device, but a week ago events left me puzzled. Without going into details, the route Garmin chose was completely inane. For a 60 mile trip, it was 40-50% longer than the route I would have selected, and made no sense at all. I updated the software approximately June 1, and as far as I can tell the maps are stored on a micro SD card.

Has anyone had experience with the Garmin GPS 18x USB device? Don't know if I would use it, but ...

New navigation app from Garmin, awful business model. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. A $0.99 app that will cost up to $100 if all in-app purchases go with it. All for a service some provide (near) free.

I am quite OK drawing with PS cc.
I understand the magenta requirement on my Garmin Nav (2820)
No problems there or with loading GPX data bases with correctly named icons. Using Garmin POI downloader which loads into Extras.
The 2820 is fine using 24x24. Any bigger get truncated.

Other than lifetime maps, any comments comparing the 255W I have against the 42LM, which can be had from Best Buy this week for $90?

Happy fathers day to all of you

Please recommend an on-line GPI to CSV file-converter site (for Nuvi 1350). My web search has landed me in unhelpful sites.

I have never seen one of these cable before, but think I might have to invest in one. There is a mini and a micro on one end and a standard on the other.

Hello all,
So I've downloaded 2 versions of a Central America/Caribbean map for the Garmin. The files are already in .IMG format. I have followed the directions and have the gmapsupp.img file in the Garmin\ directory.
However, I cannot see the map on the Garmin. So here's what I have so far:
-BaseCamp can see the map and display the data of both maps

This afternoon, while I was at work, I received a text from my wife that we were going to meet family at a restaurant after work. That would mean that I would go right from work, to my car parked in a parking ramp, and head right to the restaurant.

In reading about different models and what they can and cannot do, it seems to me that Garmin is throwing away profits. Every time you launch a new model, you have separate production costs from design to tooling to software.

Questions for the body:
What is the alert distance for the Speed Camera POI file?
I set the Red Light Cameras alert at 600 ft., but I've never set an alert distance for the Speed Cameras. Nor have I ever encountered any speed cameras in my travels.
Should I be specifying an alert DISTANCE for the speed cameras? What is the default alert distance?

I have a new Win8 PC and am trying to get POI-Loader to work. It's spitting up the error message that it can't find C:\Programs Files\Garmin\SOX.EXE

There was no Garmin folder so I created one under Progam Files and put SOX.EXE in it. I also tried putting it in the POI-Loader folder.

Any suggestions?

Garmin Express Version 3.2.9.0 has been Released. 7/2/14

Just a short explanation. This fall I am taking a 6,000 mile plus trip and have been busy downloading POI's that may come in handy on the drive.

I had no problem installing them after some hiccups in my Nuvi 855 for which I had a lot of assistance on POI factory. All the available icons show up when called for.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Yesterday i used one of my Custom POI (lets say Walmart at 123 Main St)) without any problems.
Today, i got a bit lost so i clicked the 'Go Home' button on my Garmin 50LM and it keeps giving me the directions to go to that exact Walmart location again!
