Garmin talk

Amazon is also selling the 1350 LTM and the 1450 LTM for roughly $130.00.

If you need it the lifetime maps and updates for NA are about $65.00.

I have a Garmin 2460 LMT. In April my daughter starts driving and I am going to give her this unit. I wish to purchase a new unit that has the LMT feature but with a screen at least as large as the 2460. I have looked at the Garmin web site but wanted the experienced users on this forum to advise if the Garmin 3590 LMT is indeed the correct choice.

Downloaded and installed updated 3790 firmware a week or so ago and today went to connect in "My Garmin" "MyDashboard" and it just says scanning for device and never connects. I down loaded and installed communicator plugin 401 and Webupdater 254 on my laptop which has never had any Garmin software on it and it won't work either. Anyone have any Ideas?

Does anyone know if there is a way to get custom waypoint symbols into base camp on the Mac? I know you can import them from your gps unit but I would like to enter them directly into the program.

Is there a current nuvi model that doesn't arbitrarily reboot itself?

My 1490 is constantly doing this. Is it possible that it has something to do with traffic reporting, or perhaps the added POI database, or additional maps installed? My old 750 (no traffic) never experienced this issue.

Hi, all. I am having a strange issue with my Garmin Nuvi 660. It will not play any TTS voices anymore for some reason.

I can switch to American English (non TTS) and the voice comes out fine, but for the last week or so, none of the TTS voices will play.

I have tried using the reset button on the back of the unit but this did not help.

Wondering if anyone knew how to obtain current map updates for a newly purchased in dash unit Pioneer Exelon DNX9980Hd it shows that the map loaded on the unit is from 2010.
I have a lifetime map purchased for my previous Nuvi 885T
but I am pretty sure they will not allow me to use that on the new model.

Had the POI on my Zumo 550 and all the dealerships had the address and phone number display when I selected them. I've been going nuts with my new Zumo 660. I can't get the address and phone number to display when I upload the new POI with the POI loader. What am I doing wrong?

Thanx

Hi,

I work for a company where some users are out in the field with their Garmins and they need to record their latitude/longitude in decimal format for entry into an in-house software program. We've set the coordinate format to decimal, but it seems to leave the minus sign off of the longitude, although the coordinates seem to be correct otherwise. Is there some setting we're missing?

Hi all,

I recently purchased a Garmin 1490LMT and this is my first time using custom POIs, proximity alerts, etc. I am an advanced computer user. However, I am stumped here. I've been researching on/off for days, but am finally giving in to ask for help.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has the Nuvi 2595LMT and what you thought about it compared with other GPS units you have owned in the past. I've had mine for about a week and like it so far. Occasionally though, it does lose bluetooth connection for no reason. Other than that it's working very well and I really like the voice command feature.

I have a nuvi 760 that I've been using for about three years. It plays MP3 files, and I have several alerts, RLC and Speed Cameras, specifically. The wife got a 2360LMT for Christmas, which doesn't play MP3s - I know because when I installed the RLC files (with the MP3 file) the voice alert didn't work.

I having trouble sending trip routes from mapquest. I have a nuvi 265w. I am using IE windows 7 have all the plugins. Have no trouble sending poi but from mapquest it said it was sent but can not find it in favorites. I have done this in the past on the same computer with no trouble.

Good morning all.

Purchased this unit just before Christmas. Issues started after I updated to the latest software update (4.40) and I'm running 4.01 up-loader on my PC. I've noticed this thing reboots continuously while either searching for traffic or if I use the voice command feature for any function. I deleted all but the English, British, Australian & Italian languages.

Is it possible to send waypoints or locations to your Garmin C340 from Bing Maps
