Oregon software ver 5.80 now available for 450 series

No problems installing 5.80 from ver 5.50 directly from my garmin dashboard. Will see later this week if it addresses many of the usability issues (such as tracback, intelligent navigating from imported tracks etc)

Question on Nuvi 2555LMT

Still fighting my 1490lmt

Has been suggested I give to my worst enemy, which one, hard to choose.

Nuvi 750 failing need help nuvi 3550lm

My nuvi 750 is not working correctly. After start up you can only touch the sceen about 3 or 4 times and it locks up. No more touches of the screen do anything. Unplug and no stay on/turn off message comes up, just shuts off. I did get it to find a location but as soon as "jill" told me where to go that's all just froze. Any ideas?

Micro SD card file format for 1490T

I am posting the following information so that it may benefit anyone that may need to organize their map data on a MicroSD card. This information was based on trial and error in addition to posts from this and other GPS user group sites. I do not claim to understand or know about any established or "official" file structure rules, but can attest that the following does work with my 1490T.

Garmin does not show all available traffic info

Hello,

Looking at live traffic at Navteq, I see the following picture:

Then on my Garmin 765t with working Navteq traffic subscription, and with traffic icon on the screen, I create directions that go through the streets that on the image above are yellow, those in the triangle in the center (Milwaukee - Harlem - Oakton)

Accidentaly Deleted all garmin files

Can’t find Info to Install Map to SD card.

Now I know there are Posts and maybe a FAQ to give me instructions to install the NA 2013.20 Map to my Nuvi 2455LMT but I just cant find it for the life of me...

If someone could point me to the right posts/faq/etc... I would be most appreciated!

Thanks in advance...

cityXplorer™ Maps

Has anyone had experience with these maps?

I currently have
City Navigator North America NT 2013.20 - MAP+3D+HT+PA+P, July 12
with a lifetime subscription for a nüvi® 3490LMT

Would I gain anything by purchasing the CityXplorer Toronto map.

Map Theme Summary

Not sure which Garmin models have "Map Themes" available but I found that changing this on mine (under SETTINGS, NAVIGATION, AUTOMOBILE, and then MAP THEME) had a huge impact on screen visibility. For those who can change their map themes, hope this helps summarize things a little. I couldn't find this anywhere on-line and it really does have a huge impact.

Trouble with 1450T traffic

Hi all,

New guy here.

I just picked up a Garmin 1450 with lifetime Maps and Traffic. Updated the latest maps and everything ran well for a while.

About a week ago, the Green traffic button disappeared. I did a factory reset, and re updated the maps but nothing changed.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks
