Garmin talk

am trying to put a trip in my nuvi2555 using google map . Was doing good for a while then it stopped taking anything. shows on computer that is going but when checking gps it is not there any help would be greatly appreciated

I looked through the GARMIN FAQ list and did not see anything
covering traffic - so I tried to summarize the subject with
a set of questions and answers.

Please have a look at what I wrote - I'm sure it is incomplete in some areas so feel free to add to it. When it passes
inspection by all of you it could be added to the FAQ list
that the poi-factory has today.

recently purchased a garmin unit that comes with RealView Junction view. However I am yet to see an junctions appear so far on roads in New Jersey. Anybody with similar experience?

Anyone know the filename or a download link for the 2014.20 NA split screen JCV (US & Canada) so I can try downloading it?

When adding a poi with the loader all previously loaded pois are removed so you would have to reload everyone that you had, please let me know if this is right, also in manual mode do you set both speed and distance I have a 2360 and haven't yet succeeded in having this work right.
I have been emptying the poi file on the gps on the computer and restarting the process each time.

Okay, so this happened to me over a year ago, but I'm just now going to ask about it. I was hoping it would fix itself or SOMETHING, but nothing has happened.

I've used myGarmin.com in the past to update maps on my nuvi. I could install the map both to my pc, to be available to Mapsource, and to my nuvi. With the most recent map update, myGarmin attempted to download and install Garmin Express. I killed the install and used my old copy of Map Updater.

I have been trying all day to update my nuvi 50LM and keep getting message that connection to update service has been lost please wait. So I waited for long time and nothing happened. Tried to call Garmin and also they have 30min wait anyone have idea of how to get system up and running so I can update my GPS. THANKS

I downloaded Garmin map updater to my download file and then ran it. But after that I can not find where it installs on my windows xp computer.
Does it make its own folder or am I missing something?
I did do a search and found two files in Windows\Prefetch
they are Garmin mapupdater.exe.o and Garmin updater exe.2

P.S. not very good with working around computers

I've had a Nuvi 1450 w/ Lifetime maps for over three years and it does everything I want a GPSr to do. It has served me well, and I'm not interested in any other bells and whistles.

I made an external battery pack using 8 2450mah batteries and added an external lighter plug receiver. Any idea how long the GPS will stay on and will it cause any problems? I need to use it on a trip where no out is present.

Anyone know if the Garmin 2597 has mp3 alerts available? Or do I need to do that funky soe/wav thing?

Thanks!

I am looking at buying a 3490.
Any comments on this unit would help.
Do the new Garmin models have rest stops included and if so do they show up on the screen the same way as the ones form this site do? Is there a alert sound that comes on? If rest stops are built in why would I need to download rest stops form this site?
Will this unit hold the latest maps without adding a storage card?

Re: Split-screen JCV file for CN Europe NT 2014.20

I have a nuvi 3790, with preloaded CN North America NT map.
I bought CN Europe NT map on DVD and installed it on micro SD card.
I bought Lifetime Map-update for both NA and EU maps.
Everything works fine, but with the EU map-updates I do not get the JCV file for Europe.

My friend who has a 2595LMT bought the CN Europe 2014.20 from Garmin. He is planning a trip this fall to Europe.
He has CN North America 2014.20 on his 2595 that includes North America, Mexico, and some Caribbean Islands.
The Nuvi recognizes both maps and they are checked in the map info page.

Just received this today, is it legit???

I am going to ignore it anyway since I do not have the products listed.
================================================
Dear Garmin Customer:

On my new Garmin 2595LMT, I get speed limit notices in places. When I drive and I'm at or below the speed limit the numbers are black but when I exceed the limit by even 1 (MPH or KPH) the numbers turn red.

First off, let me state that I have been a Garmin user for about 6 1/2 years. I "cut my teeth" on a second hand Garmin Street Pilot 2730. Since then, I have owned and/or used various Garmins, including the Nuvi 350, Nuvi 360, Nuvi 500, Nuviphone G60, Garminfone A50, and Garmin Mobile XT on a Pharos GPS Phone 500.
