Thank you

Has anyone heard from MrKenFl lately? I'd been waiting for the latest Rest Area POI to be released (maintained my MrKenFl for the last five years, thank you Ken.) when I realized that I don't remember seeing him on the Factory lately. I hope nothing's happened to him. Anyone have any insight? Or have I just not noticed him?

Change History

Changes made from version 2.60 to 2.70:
Fixed several map display errors.
Fixed an error that caused some units to freeze while navigating.
Fixed an error that prevented Custom POIs from displaying details when selecting the POI icon.
Fixed an error that prevented the Good Pub Guide from working in the device.

I've set up a route incorporating vias or shaping points.
Today when navigating the route, the 3590 kept trying to get me back to one of the vias on the route. It kept recalculating and suggesting a return to that via point for the next 35 miles until I reached my destination.

Garmin has released an update to Basecamp for the PC and MAC. Here is the change log for the PC version:

Added smoothing of speed and heart rate graphs.
Improved Track Join inside of an Adventure
Change to not show the "Filter Results" option in the find results if there are no results to filter.
Fixed layout not being remembered properly between application runs.

I recently created a custom POI using Extra POI Editor 5.32.

If I find a difference in apparent position of the marker when I switch from Map to Satellite. When create a POI, I generally switch to Satellite mode and zoom in as much as possible. I then drag the marker to the correct position on the road.

I finally purchased a life time update for my Nuvi 765t. I downloaded the update to the internal memory and a 8 GB. memory card. Now I wanted to install the large JCV file on to memory of the Nuvi but found that I don't have enough memory. I want to use the card but how can I delete the map from the Nuvi?
Thank you.

I have tried to down load Garmin's POI Down Loader on two systems (Ubuntu and Win7) but it will not even start to down load. Anyone have any ideas?

I have seen some old discussion concerning the charging and navigation of a Garmin GPS using a standard USB cable. I have found a cable from http://www.3brpowersports.com/index.htm web site that works with my Nuvi 255w.
Just thought I would pass it along.

Every time you update a new map or do a hard reset, do you have to re-upload your custom POI files (red light cameras) again?

Thanks guys!

What is the Main Difference between CSV and GPX Formats for POI? I noticed that I have both Files Downloaded in my Customized POI Folder and I would like to know why two (2) different Formats, thanx, Don..

Being the New Kid on the Block, how do I get the Icons into my Device?

Got off the phone with Garmin with update issue for 465T
and was told they have issue with 2013.20 on this model.
Can't download until fixed probably next update. I reinstalled older maps and now it won't unlock the maps

After backing up my 3590 noticed the .system file missing. Has it been renamed? My 1490,2460 has it. Yes I have the check mark to show hidden files and they appear with everything else.

Thanks, Ed

It has been my understanding that the Garmin Nuvi650 cannot show way-points (route). I have been experimenting with BaseCamp and was able to successfully upload a test way-point onto the Nuvi650.

I use Garmin Lifetime map updater with my Nuvi2460LMT.

I installed 2013.20 but my unit shows 2012.30 I checked the version by selecting Tools-Settings-mymaps. It tells my map is 2012.30 ALL. That means when I updated to 2012.40 it didn't update also.

How do I convert MP3 Format to AAX Format for Compatability with Garmin nuvi 2555 LMT? (I have the Audible Book Reading Application. I also have lots of Books on AAX Format if you would like to start an Audible Book Trading Club, contact me. I am the New Kid on the Block and would like to know how I can Play the Red Light camera Sounds on my Garmin nuvi 2555 LMT, thanx..Don..

Try as I might, I can't get imformation to import into Mapsourse with the 4th column.

Mind you, I am new at this, so I generally don't exactly know what I am doing it seems.

I take my .csv with information like this: -73.9873 40.72234 Katz's Deli "Phone: 555-1234"
and using various programs to convert it to a .gpx file, all that gets imported are 3 of the 4 columns.

Just saw this on Garmin Facebook.

I just found this great resource and loaded a custom POI file to my Garmin Nuvi 40 using the POI loader program. It seemed to load fine, and I can see the file in the Garmin. However, I can't seem to find the actual POIs when I look for them. Are they stored in a certain category (restaurants, entertainment, etc)? They are not under Favorites. How do I search for them on the GPS?
