Garmin talk

I have always been happy with using Mapquest.com to create routes and send them to by various Nuvi models especially because the function seems to come and go (mainly go) from Google Maps. Anyhow, I created a route today and went to SEND it to my Nuvi 3597 only to find that the SEND command has dissappeared from the upper right corner of the Mapquest map screen.

I upgraded from XP to Win 7 and can't find the hidden system file!

I went to CP folders and clicked on show hidden folders but that did not work.

Hi after reviewing the YOU tube video for changing the battery is a bit more than I can handle.

I have had my 465T since 2009 and it has treated me well. The purchase of a new battery is in the neighborhood of approx $75.00 and to have garmin support do it. It appears it would make sense to buy a NEW garmin.

Good Morning everyone!

I'm the author of the "Charter One Banks - Ohio" POI file, and I'd like to bring it up to date. If any of you are aware on any Charter One branches in Ohio that have opened, closed, or moved since 2008, please contact me off line with the information. For new or relocated branches please include the latitude/longitude information. Thanks.

computer does not recognize my garmin

I made a trip early last year and have all the waypoints saved in a folder in 'my collection', Garmin Basecamp. They are also on my Garmin 1450 internal memory. Is there an easy way to delete these off my Garmin without doing it one at a time. It would be nice if I could do it in Basecamp, when Garmin is attached, and just highlight all, then delete. I tried that and it didn't work.

Looking for some help. I don't seem to be able to create an alert POI and have my desl760 alert when it should. I have alerts turned on from Custom POI's. Found this site

https://home.comcast.net/~ghayman3/garmin.gps/pagepoi.htm

Upgrade from 2595 to 2597, I miss the dashboard of 2595.
The 2597 has instant speed on the lower left corner. Can I force it to somthing else like distance to destination...

mgarledge recently had a problem with being able to see a Budapest POI on her unit. This was discussed in the thread "BaseCamp Help And Information" (see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/35029) Note that mgarledge was the OP of that thread)

On a recent trip from GA to Dunedin Fl the Garmin Nuvi 3590 routed me of I75 short of Tampa. On the ride home it took me through Tampa. Even accounting for traffic delays it seems to me that the routing was incorrect.

Any thoughts?

I have been having my own problems with the BIG learning curve with Garmin. Has anyone studied the lessons that Don Norwood has on utube? I see there are 18 lessons. I have watched four of them. It's very envolved. As before, one step at a time. It's like cramming many years into a few days of learning. I can see why I am overwhelmed! I still need to learn more about JCV files.

Does anybody know or is having the same problem I'm having with my Nuvi 2597? The unit doesn't seem to remember the icon I choose to display in the map when saving a location. For example, I may choose a "house" icon when saving an address but when I re-start the unit it reverts back to a "heart" icon!
Is this happening to anybody else or other units?
Thanks.

I have a lot of POIs in different categories. Is there a way to search for a certain POI in a categorie?

I'm wondering if my 2597 is retarded or are the maps screwed up. I was on the east side of Beloit, WI just west of I-90 on I-43 and entered an address in Lake Geneva, WI to go to.

I installed the same customer POI proximity alerts (red light, school/speed zone, etc) to both my 765T and 3790lmt.

The POI files (.csv .bmp and .mp3) were imported into both the units using POI Loader.

Please Help – my 3790lmt loss 3d building, terrain, Bluetooth & Speech command after map update

Purchased my 3790lmt little > 1 year ago and had 6 map updates. I do not drive often. Last week, I 1st noticed missing 3d buildings while driving via downtown… then the more I looked, I found additional features were also missing. These are what I found:

This may have been discussed elsewhere.

Can I delete all the extra voice and help files that are not in my language (American English)?

I know to make a full backup before attempting this.

Can't see how 80+% of a 7 Gig drive is taken up. The map is only a little over 1 Gig and the Junction view file is 480+ megs. What's eating up about 5 Gigs?

I recently loaded POI's (including my updated redlight camera files) to my Nuvi 2555. For some reason, the camera icons no longer show up on the map and I don't get the alert (it worked fine before). If I go into the custom POI menu, I can see all the POI's and navigate to them. What did I do wrong?

Hi,

Obviously I have a very old GPS. I was just waondering where can I get files for speed limits including alerts.
