Garmin shuts off when selecting entry from Extra POI File

After some comparing of one of the files in question (Historical Naval Ships in GPX format), I discovered that the entries causing the shutdown had longer descriptive data listed. I converted the GPX file to CSV and found that My Garmin 1300 was shutting down abruptly when selecting certain entries listed in a POI File from my Custom POIs in the Extras option.

Custom POIs not showing up

Tonight I just re-added my Custom POIs to my StreetPilot and they loaded as they normally do. When selecting Custom POIs under Where To and selecting one of my categories (Dunkin Donuts as an example) it says "No Matches Found".

"Honey, I shrunk my Nuvi 650 memory" (... or HELP !!!)

I have a Nuvi 650 that I bought new in 2008 and it's served me well since then. However, it was getting a bit 'long in the tooth' as far as recent information like roads, POI's, etc, so I thought I take a plunge and get a map-update rather than buy a new unit (though they are sooo tempting, but $$$ is tight).

Ghost speed traps

I load only the Redlight cam file and verified more than once that the file contains only Redlightm but my nuvi continues to alert me of Speed Traps...cannot find them...probably from previous installation.

I even went ahead and delete the Current.gpx. Things did not help.

Please help. where do I begin to invest why, and the fix.

Home on the Menu Bar

On my Garmin 3490, every so often this HOME pops up on the menu bar and shows the amount of miles to home, which I do not want, I was able to disable it once, anyone know how to disable it permanently. I prefer to have the individual streets show up as I approach them.

Unstable USB connection

Whenever I connect my Nuvi 765t to the computer (Windows XP SP3) by USB port, I have to spend 15-20 minutes trying to get it to work. Eventually it works, but usually after a number of connects/disconnects.

How do I create a GPX file with Phone Numbers

I just got a Nuvi 2460lmt. I would like to create a GPX file so I may use the dialer and blue tooth. I have a database that has all the info in a csv format. Is there a program that can create a gpx file from this about 2500 names and addresses.
Also is it possible to save it as extra's not as favorites.

1. convert a csv file to gpx with phone #'s
2. Save it in my Extra' as Custom POIs

Installing update 2012.40

Keep getting error message on 2360lmt when installing the new map update 2012.40. Need help?
Thanks

Mountains Kentucky and Tennessee

I just uploaded 2 files "Kentucky Mountains Peaks & Summits.gpx" and "Tennessee Mountains Peaks & Summits.gpx"which list all mountains over 3000 feet in those 2 states.
As I travel across the US I sometimes wonder how high is that mountain in the distance so I have slowly been putting together a file of mountains I might pass.

can't get a trip planned...no plus sign...please help

I am having trouble with getting my garmin 2300 to add a route in tools/trip planner. The plus sign is no longer highlighted (or one of the arrows). Does anyone know how to make it become highlighted so additional routes can be added? It's not a memory issue.

Thanks in advance for helping me plan a new trip.

New Garmin Maps .40 not showing side streets

I have a Nuvi 2360LMT. I downloaded new map update and for some reason not showing side streets but only a rough view of major streets in area. I used option #2 method and selected correct map on Garmin MyMaps. I tried re-loading but same thing. Any ideas or how to hard reset?

Routing problems with the Nuvi 2460

I have a Nuvi 2460 and having problems with routing.

Road Trip

I find this software to be inordinately difficult to use. I wonder tho if only one map (hopefully the newest one) can be unlocked? I see several other maps on there and they are all locked with .4 being the only one unlocked. Any idea why they lock when a new map is downloaded? I dislike Garmin programming anyway.

1490T traffic map not showing traffic

Has something changed with one of the recent firmware updates?

Normally in viewing the traffic map I would see red and yellow highlights showing where there was alleged traffic congestion. Now I see nothing. I do get a warning "Traffic Ahead" and it switches to the traffic map, but there is no indication as to where the congestion is.
