Garmin talk

I have a used Garmin Nuvi 350 that I bought this spring. I was looking at the Garmin website and it lists the GTM 10 FM Traffic Message Channel (TMC) traffic receiver as being compatible. However, the online manual refers to the GTM 12 traffic receiver. Can either one of these be used? Or is this an issue where the GTM 10 was replaced by the GTM 12?

Hi... I have both a 255w & 465T...

SAQ's

The FM Traffic Receiver w/ 12/24 Volt Power Cable must be used with the 465T in order to p/u traffic ?

Can I also use the 255W cable and get FM Traffic on the 465T. ???

If I use the FM Traffic Receiver w/ 12/24 Volt Power Cable on the 255W will I get Traffic info ?

Changes made from version 6.30 to 6.60:

*Fixed an issue with 2D landmarks not displaying by default for some locales.

*Fixed an issue with backwards Arabic map labels.

Didn't fix the POI Sub Catagory Problem

I own a Nuvi 680 na and had purchased the lifetime map updates for North America. The most recent map update for all of North America exceeded the internal memory available.

Hi..We were RV'ing around the country and have numerous POI's I DL from here. Under CUSTOM POI's.. We are no longer RVing and would like to remove all the custom poi's which no longer are needed.

Can someone please point me in the right direction..

Thanks

I upgraded my Nuvi 750 to a 2555 LMT. Since the 2555 only had one voice, I transferred my favorite voice from the 750 to the 2555. It works except she won't say, "Recalculating" any more. I only did it a couple of days ago so I'm not sure what else is missing but she says street names when I tested it.

I’ve been trying to spend some time with BaseCamp and MapInstall to learn their capabilities. I’m having an odd issue with MapInstall that is preventing me from adding maps to my new 1450LMT. My initial map update (to 2013.10) included just the lower 49 US states.

I purchased and installed Roadside America's custom POIs through "Spot It On" on both my Garmin 1390 and 1490 units. They functioned normally for some time, but now the 1490 does not see them in the Extras. I can see my other custom POIs and they all work. I can see all 3 files on both units and the Roadside America POIs work on my 1390.

Changes made from version 6.50 to 6.60:

*Fixed an issue with 2D landmarks not displaying by default for some locales.

*Fixed an issue with backwards Arabic map labels.

Guess it's safe to assume that the subcategory POI issue still remains...

Does the 3590LMT have Auto Zoom. I can't seem to locate it so that I can set it to Auto Zoom.

As usual, someone at Garmin has their head where the sun does not shine.
They advertised a update, and said the following:

Communicator Plugin
This download area offers free firmware upgrades for select Garmin® units. These upgrades are specific to the specific GPS units and software versions listed.

Here is the site:

I am looking to get new unit to use in another car and I was looking at either a 2450 or a 2555. I do not need Bluetooth or voice navigation and I like the 5" screen. Comparing them on the Garmin website they seem similar. I realise the 2450 does not have traffic but that is not a deal breaker.

Ok I am sick of Trip Planner in my Nuvi 2555 so I am looking for the last Nuvi that DOES NOT use it, so please post models if you know them.I know all below the Nuvi 1450 did not have it so are there any after the 1450 that do not have the piece of @%$&#@ trip planner.

I just got a new camera (Canon SX260 HS), which has a built-in GPS and I've verified that I'm capturing the latitude, longitude (even altitude).

My Nuvi 1390LMT is supposed to support photo navigation. According to the PDF manual the first step is to go to

Does anyone know if there's a market for used Nuvis? Having replaced both of my older units, I've figure I can sell my Nuvi 680 and 650 to a good home. I figured I would list it on Craigs list, but was curious if anyone has successfully sold one before. Craigslist has some for about $50, so I may have to reduce below that in order to sell it.

What a bummer this AM. Get to work, go to pull out the GTM-20 a little from the unswitched outlet to turn it off and BAM!!! - the GTM-20 practically falls out. The screw-in retainer that holds the power contact and fuse in had broken.

Anyone here having issues with the latest map updates?

My wife just purchased a 3590LMT on the advice of a friend, and she asked me how to set the anti-theft password. I can't figure it out, and the manual is no help. Does this unit not provide an anti-theft password setting as prior units did?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I picked up a 1450LMT a few months ago and find that it seems sluggish when I try to enter a POI by name (i.e. shopping -> spell name) On my 350 it will usually keep up with my typing speed but on the 1450 it lags behind to a point where I have to wait about 1-1.5 seconds before I can enter the next character. Any ideas?

I bit the bullet and got a 2460LMT to replace the 1490TL (L for Lemon). I backed up the 1490T and removed my 16 GB SD card from it.

I would like to Christen the 2460LMT correctly regarding file structure, use or non-use of the SD card, transferring my Favorites, etc.

So far, I have:
