Garmin talk

Hello. I just purchased a refurbished Nuvi 1490LMT unit and POI Factory's latest Red Light and Speed Alert csv file and I installed it. I tried the simulator mode and I noticed the little car icon was traveling at 70 kph and I know that this Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada main avenue's speed limit is 60 kph. What gives with the simulated speed of 70 kph?

Thank you.

Garmin has recently introduced yet another motorcycle friendly GPS called the all-new Zumo 350LM. Has anyone purchased or have experience w/ this new unit? I need a GPS for my Harley, but I'm torn between the new Zumo 350LM OR the HD Road Tech Zumo 660 also made by Garmin. Thanks in advance for any input.

I kind-of remember a post a couple years ago on how to add a Sound file to HOME, but now that I want to add it, of course I can't find it.... !

I want to add a short Audio file to the "Home" flag indicator on my 660....

I know it wants to be an MP3 file, just need to know where to put it, and what to name it!!

Thanks....

My wife and like to travel. We go to many different states but only like to camp in State or County parks. Is there a POI that lists just State and County parks? We have a teardrop camper and prefer to camp in more woodsy type areas than an RV park.

I have about 1 day of experience with the 3590. In my opinion, all the features are easy to use and locate. However, I cannot find how to set a security code, nor can I find it referenced in the manual. Can you set a PIN on this device?

Thanks!

Since I've started using the latest map update, CTNANT 2013.1, for the Zummo 550, I'm noticing that as I'm traveling, the map is not keeping up with my actual current position as quickly as it did before this map udpate. Is anyone else experiencing this problem with their Nuvi or Zumo? What is the solution, besides going back to the previous map 2012.4?

I just returned from a 3 wk trip and wanted to check to see what new POI files have been created (I don't mean updated, but new). Is there a way to go back more than a week to see what new files were created or do you have to go into each category (or alphabetical) to see what was created? Also if you have to go that route it would be nice to have the newest ones listed first.

I downloaded POI for walmart. I tried to upgrade new POI sites. I think it duplicated the POI on my Garmin 2350. Do you need to delete the old POI from the unit. I nned some help on this. I have general knowledge of computer.

I have a TomTom but; the newer models don't allow personal customization.

I'd like to purchase a Garmin.
I use a Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

I need a decent unit that I can add my own poi's, car symbols, color schemes & voices.

Can you help?

Can anyone tell me where to install the Harley.mp3 (Harley Dealer Ahead) at on my Garmin 785?

There are 32 satellites orbiting the Earth. My NUVI40 satellite view has room to show inputs from 12 of them.

Something I read recently suggests that it uses at least 4 to determine location. (Three are minimal to pinpoint locations)

Is the Garmin using all of the satellites it can see?

And, what is that red dot on my satellite screen?

When I select "M" column to set parameters I get the following message:

Run Time Error 383
Text Property is Read Only

Any suggestions?

Using Garmin POI Loader, I uploaded two different POI files from POI Factory (National Parks and Moose Lodges). I don't see them anywhere I can think of to look. I have re-booted several times.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

On a Nuvi 855, I've noticed that the Garmin Lock feature does not request a PIN about once out of every 30 times I turn on the unit. This is not due to being close to the pre-defined security location.

Has anyone else experienced this or know why?
