Hi I would just like to know,if anyone does know,What is the newest available garmin city navigator NA 2012.4 map ID?
Thanks!

I have a Garmin Nuvi 3490 LMT and am interested in some of the CSV files on this site but I don't know what to do with them. I downloaded them to my computer but can't open them except for in my notepad. Is it possible to put these files onto our Garmin or is that what they are for. We are new to the Garmin scene and how to put new maps etc.

On my 1450 LMT I have the USA maps in the device. I also have the European maps on a micro sd card.

Anyone notice any problems with their GPS units in the last two weeks with the Solar Flares ?

I’m getting ready to retire my wonderful NUVI 660 and I am considering either the NUVI 465LMT or Garmin’s dezl 560LMT, I drive a charter bus and want a GPS geared more for commercial drivers. I would like to be able to enter the height and length of the bus I am driving for that trip. We run from Fl to Canada, NY, DC, Chicago and Texas.

Hi all.

After performing a map update to my nuvy 1490lmt I found
that the files gmapprom.img and gmapbmap are both winzip files.

Since I'm running out of space, can I delete both files?.

Thanks in advance for your help.

So, what do my fellow members here think about TV integrated with GPS?

I just purchased a garmin nuvi 1340LMT. I am trying to create a gpx file thru gsak using the NUVI_GPX_BY_CT.gsk macro. I can not get it to create the raomingsak tourguide file. I am getting frustrated and could use all the help. Philander has helped me greatly and I did as he suggested but I cant get the files to be created.

I know that there have been some posts last year about this application, but I am now interested in this and I hope some people have this and can answer some questions. I don't have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, but my wife and both of our sons each ahs an iPod Touch. I am considering buying an Apple device for this application and some others.

That old thread about Lifetime maps at $86.00 keeps getting new posts. Well, today (3/13/2012) you can get Lifetime maps for $59.00 from Walmart, and it comes with a new Nuvi GPS! The GPS is a 1100LM and here is the link:

I'm having trouble installing the garmin POI Loader. After downloading the latest version, 2.7.1, I get the following message: "This is an unsupported OS version. This application requires Windows XP SP2 or greater". I'm running Windows 7. I've tried running "Windows Compatibility" tool, no luck.

i tried to download a software update for my kenwood kna g510 sd reader.( 4.10 ) after downloading it and puting the card in the unit i can not get the unit to recognise the software.

is there something else i need to put on the sd card for the unit to recognise the update.

if you have this information please be specific as i'am not a computer expert.

thanks,
gary

Wanna see what your Garmin GPS screen looks like when you're flying on a plane?

How do you add "Custom POI's" icon to the "Where to" menu on the Nuvi2555LMT?

my 1490's memory is getting full. So I inserted a 1GB card and placed all my POI files on it.
The questions are:
- What can I delete from the internal memory?
I have already deleted most of the Text\ language files.

- Will the 1490 find the POI files on the SD card automatically or do I need to configure something?

- What other folders can I move to the SD card?

thx
