Garmin talk

After looking through FAQ on voices I have a question.

Does TTS Voice Editor handle TTS3 voices?

I am considering a 3597 which uses TTS3 voices.
I always enjoy modifying the voices. I do not believe the 3597 will use the TTS voices.

I just installed the Cracker Barrel POI file. With the file there were two sound files ... one a wav and the other an mp3. With the 2460 I understand that I need to use the wav. How do I get the file to load and use with the POI? I would like to create a sound file to alert for the Rest Areas, too. Unless there is one already.

TIA
Don

Alternate title: Ah, the joys of dealing with Garmin software.

Now that the 2797 is a year old, it's possible to get a decent deal on a refurb, so I bought one. Since GE had just recently started letting Mac users install maps on their computers in addition to the gps devices from within GE, I had lost some of my antagonism to Express.

Hi guys

Garmin release a new version of GE V3.0.16.0

Hi guys

A new GE version is ready to update, V3.1.6.0

I've been considering buying the City Navigator Europe maps for an upcoming trip to England, but it's pretty pricey at $99. Has anyone here used these maps? Are they worth buying?

Hello. Is anyone having a problem with there Garmin Nuvi 3597 not charging. I haven't used it in a while so the battery is probably dead. I've charged it up via the:

- USB cable to the computer
- I hooked up my ipad 4 white connected that plugs into the wall with no luck.

I have created two different Garmin Devices.

I bought a Magellan Roadmate 5045-LM to replace my Garmin Streetpilot c330.

How can I transfer the Garmin format "My Locations" files to the Magellan?

I found the "Extra POI Editor" in the files, but I'm not sure if/how I can transfer the files. Can someone clue me in? TIA

I had noted a problem about "Extras" not loading in GE in another thread and someone else mentioned that they also had the problem.

Well the "Garmin Forum" came through with a solution. Here it is:

1.Open Garmin Express
2.Click Device
3.Click Delete Device from Express
4.Uncheck the box next to Delete the saved backups
5.Click Yes to remove the device

Hi guys
A new GE version is avaliable now. V3.0.12.0

First of all, I ask that many of you read this whole post instead of jumping to conclusions. I was wondering if any one you had designed a route, simulated the driving the route with various stops, and went from stop to finish without any problems? First of all, I designed a route with a courier service that I am employed with. I designed the route with seven stops.

Is there any way to load tracks into an 850 and have them display as normal trip logs?

I've done "tracks" downloads with Mapsource (at least Mapsource says it downloaded them) but nothing actually downloads. Trying to upload them back into Mapsource produces the message "no tracks exist".

I've plugged in a micro card w/tracks but they don't display.

Garmin recently added a Garmin Express Forum as it's own forum category on their software/developer forum site. At least for the moment, there seems to be an actual Garmin support representative that is monitoring the new forum, which is kind of unusal in the Garmin forums.

I maybe traveling to Aruba and it doesn't appear that either the N. American or S. American maps contain routable streets for Aruba. Does anyone know if there is such a thing? It appears they have maps for other islands like P.R. and Jamaica, etc.

Has anyone successfully used "safe texting" on their 3490? I vaguely remember when I first got this unit (about 2 years ago) that there was a feature on the Nuvi that would Bluetooth to your smartphone (via MAP) and it would display (or announce?) received texts on the Nuvi.

Hello,

How do I use the POI loader to load JCV file ? The POI loader doesn't recognize the file extension.

Please help.

Unable to factory reset no matter what corner I hold my thumb on when doing a power on.

Also unable to go into diagnostics mode. I don't really want to go into diag but just trying to see if that would work.

I wanted to factory reset since some of my routes shut the unit off until now I have never used the reset.

looking for some help. I hv done everything that has been said here to a tee, but still no sound alerts. Not even a ding.

thank you.
