Garmin talk

Is it possible to run a memory test on my Nuvi 1390? Was thinking of something like MEMTEST86 or perhaps there is a memory test built in on one of the diagnostic pages?

How do I get "Transit Types" under Settings/Navigation/ to be active? Currently it is listed as 'Enabled' but grayed out. I thought it used to become active when I put it in Pedestrian mode, but that doesn't seem to do it now. What am I missing?

I just bought a 1450lmt, I also noticed the 1490 model with bluetooth. I've always wondered if Garmin really does make that many different motherboards for all the models. Bluetooth is the only difference between these models, Does anyone think that the hardware really is there and it's locked out by software or firmware alone?

I read on several web sites that the nuvi 265 is compatible with TourGuide POIs. When I use the TourGuide in the name of a csv nuvi does nothing when I approach nothing when I approach a POI. I downloaded the Tim Horton's POI csv from here and can see the POIs when I touch Where To - Extras.

I'm being pestered by recurring notices that Garmin Lifetime Map Updater 2.0.5 is available. I've downloaded and installed it on my Mac twice and checked to confirm its the version I'm now running, but the dialog box notifying me that version 2.0.5 continues to pop up when I start up my Mac.

Am I the only one with this strange problem?

Wondering,
Bill

Where can i get the 2 American voices male and female for my Gamin . I accidentally delete them

Just removed my Nuvi 885t for an in dash Kenwood with Garmin GPS. DNX9980HD.
My question is:
What is the easiest way to map out a route for visiting six different stores while in Toronto next week. I want to map a route that will take me to nearest first and furthest last.
I thank you in advance for your assistance.

If you own a 2555LMT; any info as to how you like it would be great. Thinking about getting one but would like to hear from anybody that owns one before buying it.
Thanks.

Does anybody know if garmin is going to do anything about MSN stopping traffic at the end of this month?

Just got the MicroSD card for our Garmin 3790T. The manual says push it in until it clicks.

There is a photo of the Garmin unit and the Micro SD card here:

And another of the card inserted into the unit here:

I just purchased a Nuvi 50LM and did a update from Garmin.

The custom poi files I added using the Garmin loader under XP do not show up in my 'where too' 'extra' custom pois. What I have read here is that this is where any added files can be found. I have done this several times but can't find any custom pois. Any one know where they are?
Thanks

Morning all,

It's been four years or so since I posted, but, I'm getting back into this sport. I don't post much because I can usually find what I'm looking for with a diligent search.

Now to the problem:

I get a " Run Time error 383:
'Text Property is read only 'when I open the Preferences tab.

I installed this App with Extra_POILoaderV530.setup.exe

I am using WIN7 Home Premium.

Amazon.com is taking trade-ins for gift cards. Got an e-mail from them this morning that they take all kind if things in trade.

My new Nuvi 1450 won't recognize my SD card. I downloaded POI's from The Factory. I transfer them to the SD card with the POI Loader I can see them in my PC so they are on the card but the Nuvi doesn't display the card under Extras. I can load them to the device itself and they are under Extras. How can I access them on the SD card?

I recently purchased the new Nuvi 3490LMT and find that my choices for the voice prompts are either Jill or Michelle, for English that is. Gone is my beloved British girl, Emily! Anyone know if other voices are available that speak English?

how do I add another Garmin to my account?

I Just purchased a garmin nuvi 1450lmtthat will not accept any address outside Virginia. How do I get beyond this issue?

If anyone is using the Garmin Lifetime Updater, Verion 2.1.5 is out.

I'm looking for a case to protect my new 2460. I want something that will give me protection and slimline.

I order the below recommend case on Amazon when I order my 2460 but this thing is HUGE. I could easily stick two 2460 in there and still have room. Not sure why Amazon recommended the case for a 5" GPS
