Garmin talk

I recently purchased a 2360LMT. I tried it out this weekend and mapping and bluetooth work great. However, it will not show traffic at all. I entered a route I knew had traffic on I-95 and it showed up as "No traffic on route".

I recently began loading custom POI icons from POI Factory for popular POIs like Walmart, McDonalds, etc. However, I was disappointed when I found that these icons do not appear on the map when you are driving. They only appear when you zoom in fairly close and at that point, you are probably so close to the intersection you could see the sign for the Walmart in real life!

Do any of the currently produced Garmin GPS units use the same style of power cradle as the 765T? That is one of my favorite features. I have multiple cradles/suction mounts/power cords that I leave in my different vehicles. Then it is just a simple matter of taking the GPS unit with me and leaving power cords, mounts etc.

Hi, I am a MAC user and recently updated my free Nuvi maps. After the process completed I was not able to add an address - kept getting "Map data is not available". I saved my current gpx files, did a hard reset, erasing everything; then I restored the files and did another hard reset. I STILL get the same "Map data is not available" screen!!

I have entered speed limits for many small roads for which there was no data only to lose it all when I needed to do a hard reset. Not surprising, but does anyone know where this data is stored? Looking at the file system, it is not obvious to me. Also, is this data somehow uploaded to Garmin?

I did not realize until tonight that the ARRL was doing this!

I am using a Garmin Nuvi 350 in my vehicle. Rather than use the regular 12 volt car cord I have been using a USB cord. Does anybody happen to know how many amps I need when I use 5 volt USB power?

Anyone know how to clear all trip info on a NUVI 40? I mean the bright blue lines that show where I've been?

Not in the Owners Manual.

Just now when I logged onto the Garmin dashboard, it told me that I had to download a mandatory software update, because a problem was found that the current version could cause my device to constantly think it needs an update or could crash. Then I got a 404 page not found error.

The WebUpdater found no such update. This I trust.

Garmin being squirrely again?

After downloading and installing the latest map updates from Garmin on my Nuvi 3790, I launched Garmin BaseCamp just to play around with it a bit and learn how it works.

Just order my 3590LMT, should arive in about 5 days. Will give my 3595LMT to my wife.

GPS Protection ..........

"Me? I'm not worried. I leave my GPS in the car. Sometimes I place it under the seat, sometimes in the glove compartment, and sometimes in the trunk. No need for me to take it inside with me. I don't believe that anyone could break into my car other than smashing the windows. I feel safe."

Hello,

I experienced a problem with my Zumo on my motorcycle today, the speed and the next street names were running right along with me but the map was a few blocks behind, freezing at points and not keeping up.

Think a hard reset will work? If so how would I do it?

Hi guys. I'm freaking out here. I just formatted my garmin 1450 and I don't know how to get everything back. It was stupid of me I know. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. Any advice how to fix it?

It looks good for the pilots with this application. I sure wish we could get a Garmin StreetPilot Onboard For Android application!

At Walmart.com.
