Garmin talk

I was shopping at Cabelas in Rogers MN today and I happened to see that they were carrying Hunting GPS Maps. I have never heard of those before, but I became interested after reading the details about it. Anyway, I am just wondering if anybody here is using Hunting GPS Maps and, if so, are they worth the price?

I connected to Webupdater a today and found an upgrade to 8.1.

As usual it includes the line about Improved Software Stability that was mentioned in other software updates. Haven't been able to try it yet, but expect no problems.

It's dated Sept 24, 2013.

Changes made from version 8.00 to 8.10:

Fixed several map display errors.

I have an older vehicle cord which was used for the cradle of the Nuvi 6?? range with the traffic receiver connected.

I'd like to convert the cable for mini USB for use with the Nuvi 3590 in the second car.

Could anyone help me with the wiring diagram or any way to do this please.

I just bought a 2460LMT, took out yesterday and did not hear any sounds from the custom POI's that I installed. I used POI loader just the same way that I did on old 1490. The only setting I can see for sound is single tone or continuous tone. Am I missing something or not available?

Lately I am having an issue with my desktop computer running Win 7 not recognizing my 3590. The 1490, 750 and 76csx all work fine. As does the 3590 when connected to my laptop (also running Win 7) and using the same cable.

I recently moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area (as anyone following my thread asking about the best driving route from NY to Dallas knows). I spend much of my time in the Arlington/Mansfield area and it seems that my Garmin doesn't like this area of the country, despite the fact that I have the most recent maps.

My question is on a Nuvi 750, when connecting to a 110V wall charger, does the BATTERY ICON WITH THE LIGHTING BOLT APPEAR.
When I plug the Nuvi into my Garmin OEM 110V wall charger, the battery icon immediately disappears and only the time is showing.

I have a Nuvi 50LM. When I try to load a POI file it shows on my computer as having been loaded, but when I power up the GPS I can not find them. This model does not have a port for a SD Card. Is it not possible to load files to the GPS's internal memory.

Hi Everyone
I am again struggling with Mapsource. My old computer is dying and I have made the transition to a new Toshiba that came with Windows 8 whether or not I wanted it. I do not like windows 8 simply because of the learning curve. I do not want to start yet another one.

I keep getting speed alerts for 2kph, 4kph etc. what's with that?

Hi

I have two Garmin navigators (2597, 2495). When comparing the estimated driving time between the two units I get considerable differences. They suggest the same route, have the same 2014.20 maps, the latest firmware, no traffic activated, newly reset, no myTrends etc activated yet the estimated travel time differs 5 minutes on a 20 min drive. Thats an estimation difference of 25% .

Can anyone tell me how I can replace a built-in alert, like "Home... on left" with my own custom mp3 file?

Also, how can I match up a custom POI with a built-in icon, e.g. an ATM with the dollar-sign icon, etc.?

Thanks!

I have a Garmin Nuvi 295w. I want to splice in, connect to the supplied Tom Tom wire (hardwired from factory on motorcycle) that is outputting 5V with 2 wires 1blue, 1 green. The Nuvi mini usb has 1red,1black, 1 white.

There's a new software update available for nuvi 24xx folks from WebUpdater, Garmin Express and probably myDashboard (I use WebUpdater):

Change History

Changes made from version 3.50 to 3.60:

◦Updated and improved the FMI features.
◦Improved software stability.

I just returned from a trip out to New England. 2 messages popped up on my Garmin 1450 that I never have seen before. They started in Kennebunkport, ME. The first said "4 MPH speed alert ahead." The second said "4 MPH speed alert." I had them pop up later in other small towns in ME, NH and VT. After leaving VT I never had them again in NY, PA, OH etc.

I don't know quite what to make of this. I got a virus warning, specifically a Trojan warning, on one of TurboCC's programs on an AVG scan last night.

So I really like the myTrends feature as it tells me how long it's going to take for me to get where I want to go in the morning/evening/lunchtime. But once it tells me, it doesn't seem to update as I drive. Worse off, if I want to go somewhere else tonight (and I know where I'm going, say, to a coffee shop first on the way home) it no longer tells me what the cross street is at the top bar.

Is it normal for an 855 to save several 'Last Position' entries.

Mine has about 25 in All Favourites

So our newest GPS like all other new garmins does not say recalculating. Is there any workaround for this? What an easy fix an 'on off' button would have been..

The power cord to my Garmin Nuvi 1390 needs to be replaced.
If anyone has an an old one for sale, or knows of an inexpensive site to get one I'd appreciate the info.

The tiny wires are exposed through the cord at the base of the metal plug. Not sure why, how this happened. All I know is that it won't power up unless I wiggle it around, then it shuts off.

Thanks!
