LCD Replacement EDGE 500

Hi Everyone, i have being trying to find the lcd replacement for my Garmin EDGE 500, i contacted Garmin and they are willing to do it but for 90$ which for me it seems ridiculous cause i'm sure those lcds wont cost more than 20$ . and it is pretty easy to disassemble and install. I have search in many places without success. if anyone has any idea please let me know .

2757 Sound

Long time viewer but first post. I bought a nuvi 2757, love the unit but I am having some sound problems. I can load custom POI files and they show on the list of poi's but when driving there is no sound. Went through the poi loader and set the distance, have all the files named the same. I should say I have done this on my nuvi 765t. My question is what sound files work in the 2757.

Error Saving Custom POIs to Favorites

confused I have created some Custom POIs using EPE and they work fine. I get the proper alerts. I can set a route to any of them with no problems. However, when I try to save the Custom POIs to the my FAVORITES on my Garmin Nuvi 40LM, they show up but, the location is dramatically changed.

My Nuvi 200W is strange on every 9/11

I just noticed that my nuvi is strange, like yesterday, you know it was september 11 memorial day, but at that day, my nuvi is going strange. I had this happened every year on September 11th. What happened is, first of all, my nuvi is slower for (e.g), when I entering the address or finding pois, it respond a lot slower then another day.

Lines appearing on Nuvi 855

I have some dark vertical lines appearing on my 855 display. It appears to be a physical problem, rather than a software problem, but the lines are not visible when the GPS is powered off.

Does anyone know what causes this? The GPS is a few years old, but I still prefer it to the current models as it is packed with features like mp3 that I use.

HD Traffic overridden by Live Traffic?

I'm currently using my 3597 with the included HD Digital Traffic receiver but I'm debating adding the Smartphone Live Traffic (through Garmin Smartphone Link $19.99) as well. It looks like it covers more cities and may be a nice adjunct to the HD Digital Traffic.

Nuvi 1250

A friend has a Nuvi 1250. Can the JCV file be used in it? If so which size would it be? The Large, mid or small file?
If it can use it, I assume it should be on a micro SD card.

Thanks for any info.

Downgrading Firmware & Map Sets

I know this has probably been talked about before at some point but I was curious to find out if I had taken a snap shot of my entire device via Mass Storage Mode (hidden files and all) awhile ago and then re-uploaded it back to the device which has newer firmware and newer map sets, would that in turn put back the old firmware along with the old map sets?

Putting NA maps on nevi 255t

I have an 855 with current North American maps. I also have a Garmin nuvi 255T we bought in Germany. I have deleted all the gmappprom.gma .img .unl and .sum files from the 255 and copied in these same files from the 855.

Alerts only - no voice?

On long trips I'll often mute the guidance voice, but I still want to hear POI alert tones. Anyone know of a way to still get the turn by turn guidance (no voice), and still revieve POI alerts sounds?

Garmin 370 Battery Replacement.

This was a fun replacement and definitely needed for my old 370.
Don't be afraid to try this one and instructions can be found on the web.
Be very careful though when pulling the 370 apart. I dislodged the wire ribbons that connect to the screen. They were a challenge to replace and I broke one of the clasps that lock the ribbon down.
