Garmin talk

Like others, I recently experienced difficulty with space to allow the 2012.30 maps update. After reading other posts, I found how to eliminate enough unused files on the internal memory to allow the update to load.

Does anyone know of a complete list of Ford Dealers? It was posted last year but all were not included. Thanks for any help anyone could give.

I was reading about the feedback Ratings feature on these models; does anyone know if you can also see the average rating submitted by others? Or is it strictly a rating submission? It obviously wouldn't be real useful if it didn't display the average but I haven't read anywhere yet that it does!

When you remove the 3490 from the bracket does it remember the cars location?

If so, how do you get directions back to your car?

Checking out the Garmin site for what Applications it had to offer for the Macintosh, I came across the Garmin Lifetime Map Updater.

i installed it, attached my Nuvi 3790 LMT, and downloaded new maps both to my GPS unit and to my computer.

I have searched everywhere in my computer and cannot find the maps that were allegedly downloaded to the computer.

This is what I get everytime I try to use the Garmin Lifetime Updater:

NOTE
There was an error installing your maps. Please try again. If problems continue, Please contact Garmin customer support.

I have 2 GPS units registered with it, a 650 & a 765 I don't know if it matters.

Thanks in advanced.

I'm trying to locate the JCV file on my 2460LMT to see if I have the small or large file installed, as I have not had a 'junction view' visible since my purchase of this unit. I'm currently in the Phoenix AZ, area and thinking I should have had 'junction view' activated.

Hi all and I hope you are having a happy holiday season.

My daughter gave me a gift card for lifetime maps for my birthday and I recently used it to upgrade my 765t. When I logged in it also downloaded a software upgrade. I don't know if it was the 2012.30 map or the software but on my current trip, the 765t showed the arrival time in central time, not eastern time which is what it's clock is set to. Surprised me. Not a bad thing, just a surprise.

My past GPS units had a "reverse route" one click and you were routed back to the starting point. Very convenient for a route with many preset waypoints.

Anyone know if you can reverse a preprogrammed route in the 1450 with out having to reprogram all the waypoints?

Has anyone noticed that their Garmin 1490T takes longer and longer to perform calculations for the requested route (just point a to point B) when you sleect where you want to go?

Any suggestions to fix this?

Thanks,
Kevin

I have both a 1490T and a 265W unit. The 1490 came with the Traffic receiver. The 265W did not. Now I know that using software purchased for one device should not be used on multiple devices without paying multiple times.

Hello everyone,

Within the Nuvi GPS's Picture Viewer, when you click on the "I" icon to display the information on the image (jpeg file), it shows the date and time for that image. Where does the GPS get that date and time data for that certain file?

On a trip we just took from Washington, DC to Hartford, CN. no matter whether we chose Fastest, Most Direct, or the most fuel efficient route, our Garmin 3790T directed us over the George Washington Bridge.

To avoid potential traffic, we never use this route; we use the one over the Tappen Zee Bridge, a bit further north along the Hudson River.

I have a Nuvi 40LM GPS and trying to get a TourGuide proximity alert (within a 10000 feet radius) to work.
I am pretty sure this is not a mp3 compatible device, but I don't care about the soundtrack capability of the tourguides just the radius proximity alerts.

Here's what I did:

Is there a way to identify dirt or gravel roads and route around them? I often get routed on a gravel road when a nearby paved road would give a decent route.

Also, when I come across a routing error how can I prevent that same route from coming up again?

FYI

RE: Nuvi 34xx V3.60 Released (12/2010)

Sorry if this is a repeat but I didn't see a forum topic prior to mine.

Ran Webupdater and found V3.60 for my Nuvi 3490

Currently on the road. Recently updated maps & found "prompted"under Nuroute > calculation mode & can't dope what it does.

Can Nyone help

I recently decided to buy a replacement GPS for my out-of-date 680. I needed a new charger and updated maps, and figured that it would be more cost-effective to simply buy a brand new unit and give the 680 to my son. I bought the 2455LMT, and I'm re-adjusting my thinking to the new menus. Perhaps someone can help me with two questions...
