Battery Charging
I have a Garman 755T GPS. Now, when I plug into 12v plug on the car, it seems that there isn't any 12v going to the GPS. In the past, after you plug in the GPS into the 12v plug, the GPS would start up automatically. Now nothing happens. Is it the GPS or the cord?

Almost done in by a Nuvi
Don't know if anyone here watches the AMAZING RACE, but I couldn't help but laugh at last night's finale.
The team at the head of the pack was lucky enough to get a cab driver who had a Nuvi (not sure the model) to give him directions to the pit stop where, if they arrived first, the team would win a million dollars.

HELP!! Extra POI editor suddenly not working :(
Hey gang! I know, long time no post
I have a huge problem. My Extra POI Editor is no longer working. I was using it and then it stopped working. When I go to open the program, I only get the icon in the task bar.
The program doesn't fully open.
I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the latest version, but the same thing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SD Cards
I was reading this topic http://www.poi-factory.com/node/35191 I as a result I was wondering if someone could tell me just what these cards are for. I know with my nuvi 1450 that sometimes I have to reduce the map download because the GPS does not have room. Would a card change this?
Remember I am the dumb one with computer and GPS's.
Thanks

Garmin 1400 Series and Memory Cards.
Can anyone tell me if the Garmin Nuvi 1400 Series will accept an 4 & 8GB SDHC Cards or only the 2GB SD Card. I know that the SDHC Cards are not backwards compatible if the device will not accept SDHC and could not find anything in the specs.

Garmin 465T
I have a Garmin 465. In car mode it recognizes Red Light Cameras and gives an alert. In Truck mode it does not recognize or alert RLC's.
Any ideas?

Something for the FYI File.
Something unusual happened two days ago I thought I'd share. I have a Nuvi 1450, which has worked flawlessly. I have an 8GB SD card in it for storing POI's. I choose to leave them on the SD card, just a personal preference. It's always worked just fine.

TomTom Power Adapter with Garmin doesn't work right?
So I broke the USB plug off the end of my Garmin power cord (long story.) I have been using an old cell phone charger to power my Nuvi, but the problem with that is that is thinks its plugged into a computer.

First time POI downloader - request patience and assistance!
I'm a long-time Garmin user but a first time POI user. Please can someone give me step-by-step instructions how to download the icons and sounds and anything else this cool sight has to offer into my Garmin 2595?
I have clicked on many of the restaurant icons so now how do I get them to my Garmin?
Also, how do I add new traffic camera locations to my Garmin.

Garmin Software Updates / Support Page
This old page http://www8.garmin.com/support/blosp.jsp used to list all the updates for every unit and the release notes for each firmware update. Now with the new Nuvi's, it seems you cannot just download the updates manually like the old days. You need Webupdater, etc. Anyway, the question is, how does one see a list of the firmware updates and the release notes with the newer units?

Any Pros or Cons on Nuvi 2450(LM) or on 2555(LMT)
Looking to upgrade a very old Street Pilot C330, used by my wife in her car. Considering either the Nuvi 2450 or 2555, main considerations:
- 5" screen
- 2450 has powered mount
- 2450 should be able to take POI files and/or routes from Mapsource
- 2555 is newer and runs the "2.0" guidance system, maybe it won't take POI files??
Any coments welcome, with Thanks
Ken

Garmin 1490ltm or 2360ltm
I am considering purchasing either the Garmin 1490LTM or the 2360LTM. A general comparison makes them seem very similar in most features except for the voice recognition on the 2360. However, does anyone know of the issues with each model. What would you recommend?

redlight poi checkout for nuvi50lm
I entered a manual redlight poi to checkout the function on my new nuvi50lm.
file name Redlight-My-Home
file content
-85.0000,27.0000,My Home
Actual values for home are not listed here.
Does anyone see a reason this should not work??
Arrival time (855 and 3790LMT difference)
I have an 855 and a 3790LMT gps. I was checking the arrival time on both and they are off approx. 15 minutes while traveling. But when I arrive at my desination both arrival time was the same. Why? Both should be the same while traveling.
3790LMT; 2595LMT; 3590LMT, 60LMTHD
