I have a Garmin 255W without lifetime maps. To add lifetime maps would cost me $90. Seems to me that a newer Garmin with lifetime maps would be a better option since it is now over 2 years old. What do you think?

BTW, it can be a Magellan or a TomTom, as long as it does the job.

Would like to wish everyone A Merry Christmas. I know it's been a tough year for a lot of people, but hopefully things will start to get better in the upcoming months (please don't start with the bashing of the President!) Let's just all pray that things start to get better this upcoming year, for everyone and the world

God Bless Everyone

There is rumor on one of European forums about new version of CN for Europe. It will probably have number 2012.40. As they say, should be released in about month (no link as it isn't english language forum). No big changes in coverage.

As usual question is when CN NA 2012.40 will be released.

I downloaded the Harley Davidson POI to my Nuvi 50LM but now every dealership in the US appears in my favorites. How do I move them to their own category?

I read in an earlier post, but can't find it right now, that some of the Nuvis, with more recent map updates have regained the ability to display upcoming cross streets in the green banner at the top of the map view when you are NOT in navigation mode.

Can anyone with a 765T and very recent map updates (the last one or two)confirm whether this is the case or not?

Lifetime maps for Garmin just went to $62.99 on Amazon.

This is the lowest price so far this holiday season that I have seen.

Any one figure out how this thing works? I haven't gotten the icon on the map screen to turn green since my first upgrade. Always shows red and always shows 0. All the pertinent stuff is filled out. History is all there but that's all

Hi,

How can I get my favorites and custom pois into my Nuvi 2555lmt from my Nuvi 1450, I got them out of my Zumo 550 when I bought the 1450, but that was two years ago, I can't remember

Hello, I am upgrading my 255WT that has served me well and will hand over to the Wife for Emergencies. I purchased a competitor but will take it back after realizing what I had in the low end 255 vs theres.

I have a problem after last map update. It happens if I am being routed to take an exit off of the interstate. Sometimes (not always) when the junction view pops up it causes my 765t to re-boot. Has anybody had this issue? I searched for it but could not find but I thought that I had seen it here earlier.

Thanks

my new 2595lmt seems pretty good. One quirk. when you have an intermedate waypoint the arrival time doesnt reflect the time zone change at your destination. as soon as you pass the intermedate waypoint the time zone change at your destination is corrected in your arrival time. Any ideas?

Garmin 1300lm is on sale for as little as $90 (with lifetime updates). But perusing the features, I see that it does not have bluetooth (?) while my ANCIENT Garmin (Nuvi 660, but I bought it used almost 3 years ago) does hands free like a charm! As well as being a map, offering MP3 (so books on tape and music), travel photos, etc.

Am looking to buy my first NUVI and looks like the 2460LMT has good reviews. I do want the voice recognition; Blue Tooth doesn't matter to me nor does traffic updates since it sounds like it is hit and miss as far as being real time up to date.

Is there a way to delete the current maps and reinstall a complete new set?

I have a 1350 and did the last upgrade a few days ago. Now when I put in an address and then you pick the one to go to it lists all the choices twice...any idea why this is.Thanks,Tom

I really like my Nuvi 350. It even has an earphone jack and is small enough to put in my pocket. Is there any current Garmin that has the same navigation features? I believe Garmin made changes in later models that may not be as user friendly.

I have Garmin 265T and I would like to know how many "via points" you can add to a route.
Thanks for you help.

I followed directions and changed the voice and Icon file ending as intructions but still cannot get them to load on my Garmin 2595. Put them in the same folder as the POI Red Light file then used POI loader to load it. Any suggestions. Below are the names I used for the files. Thanks for any help.
