Garmin talk

I have a Garmin nüvi 1450LMT that I have had for just over a yr. Figures that it is having issues now. When I plug it in and turn it on in the truck, it looks like it thinks it is plugged into a power outlet for updating the maps. If it goes into navigation mode, it continuously recycles..

What can I do?

Hi everyone,

My mom (72 years old and not tech savy) is saying she would like to get a GPS for her car. It doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles but I figure the key items are large screen and I'm thinking bluetooth would be nice along with voice activated navigation. She already has a standalone Motorola bluetooth for her car, so if the GPS has it, it could also replace the Motorola.

I was driving on a country road yesterday - one I've driven many times in the past. The speed limit varies along the stretch I was driving from 55mph to 35mph depending on whether or not you are going through a short stretch of residential area. In the past the maps have been extremely accurate as to the speed limits along this stretch of country road.

I just now noticed this yesterday. I was driving through a school zone during the school zone hours (2-4 pm in my area) and noticed that when I drove through the school zone, the Garmin speed limit icon changed from 35 mph to 20 mph, and then changed back to 35 mph as soon as I left the school zone.

i have a nuvi 3490lmt gps but it does not support redlight and speed cameras. is any body share the views abt this gps how its work

Why do i get error message this route is too long Navagation instructions will be addwed as you approch the destination. This haoppened after my last map update

Anyone here using the latest motorcycle GPS, Zumo 350, by Garmin? What's your experience with it so far? Likes and dislikes?

POI Loader for Windows software version 2.7.2 is available at: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=927#I...

On a BMW Motorcycle forum http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=699435&highlight... , I read a discussion about the availability of a 1 or 2gb chip for older Garmin Data Cards which fit the GPSMAP 276 and 376 series and similar units.

I just got a Nuvi 1450 Gps as a gift, the Gps is in great and good working condition, the person who give it to me he only had it for a few months, and he register already after he purchase, Do I still get all the update ,I have an account with my garmin c550, does anyone know what is the policy with garmin when a product is already register with someone else name?

Is there any way to change the default zoom level for low speeds? It's currently at 800ft but I'd prefer the additional detail of the 500ft view without having to tap the + button all the time. Tx

My old Nuvi 265wt died. Now I am faced with buying another Garmin. But I need some help - I have kind of ended up with a choice of two and need some Pros and Cons from you guys.

Does anyone have a Nuvi 1490 where the Bluetooth connects to their phone in the way described on the owner's manual?

Occasionally this unit of mine will load the phone numbers from my favorites list, but most of the time it downloads nothing. It will answer the phone when a call comes in, but without the phone numbers it can't I'd the caller.

Gah! I messed up somewhere while uploading custom POIs on my Nuvi 350, is there any way to recover it or it's a brick?

I tried the updater.exe thing and that doesn't work. Clearing user data and waypoints doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Copied current.gpx file from 2460 to 3590. Renamed 3490 current file but nothing changed, still what the 3590 came with. Didn't load my catagories and of course any of my stuff, not even the whole group in saved tab.
What did I do wrong

Okay here is what I would like to do. I have a desktop and lap top PC's. I currently use my desktop to upgrade my 3590LMT so both MapSource and BaseCame are using the most current maps 2013.2. No problems with the install and both MS and BC were updated to use the current version of maps. What I would like to do is also have my lap top to have 2013.2 installed and working.

One thing about the 3590 that really annoys me is that you cannot pan the map out while the vehicle is in motion. Yes, it will pan, but as soon as your fingers are removed, it immediately returns to the scale it wants. If someone has found a setting to prevent this, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.

Hi,this is my first post on this forum.

I bought 3590LMT few days ago, and I had City Navigator Europe 2013.10 NTU map on it. Speed limit works as it should.

Then, new firmware came out, and I update device with it. Also I update my device with new map, City Navigator Europe 2013.20 NTU.

I only recently starting changing my .csv files to .GPX and have been (mostly) successful. When I change .csv files to .GPX, it's to add proximity alerts and they (mostly) work just fine. They all work except for the Red Light Cameras POI. I get an unexpected error during the load process using POILoader.

Anyone know how much internal memory (2-4-8gb)this unit has? Other posts don't list this units or memory. Appears to be a good unit in reviews.
