How do I back up my favorites from GPS to computer? Which file and where is it located?

Is it possible to change the Bong sound when the Junction View comes up to something else???

Hello all, I use my route feature on my nuvi 1490lmt quite a bit and never had problems. Since I did the last firmware & map update (NA 2012.30), I cannot delete programmed routes. The unit just freezes up when I press delete and I have to restart the unit.

Someone posted a question regarding using new traffic receivers on old units. Since I had the equipment on hand, I thought I'd try an experiment.

Academy has 2350 LMT this week for 139.99.
I bought one a month ago for 157.00.
Price dropping fast.

I updated the 2350LMT because the dashboard said an update was available. After going through the process, restarting the 2350, it was detected and the dashboard said an update was available. Repeat 3 more times, and finally the dashboard said software is up to date.

Now it says another map is available, this would be the 3rd since July? LOL

Hello.

I have my 765t since shortly it came out and it has served me well and I want to keep it a while longer. I noticed some yellow spots on the frame now. I tried to clean then off with some alcohol but it didn't work. Did this happened to anybody and did you find a way to clean them up?
Thanks to all replies.

I just returned from a trip Toronto – Florida – Toronto using my son’s Nuvi 1350lmt and thought I would share some of my impressions about the 1350 in comparison to my own 750.
First thing I noticed was the screen was not as bright as the 750 and noticeably more difficult to see in bright sunlight but not a deal breaker if I were to buy one.

On my new Nuvi 3490, there is no "Stop Route" button on the main page. There was one of those on all the other Nuvis, is mine defective or is it the way it is with this new one?

I was traveling the other day from Baltimore to NC and I got several side by side views (drive screen and reality screen) while in landscape mode. In MD they only work in portrait mode and when in landscape mode they switch instead of side by side.

Now the bad!

I just downloaded a few POI icons from the POI Factory and am pretty sure I followed the instructions on the site to install them on my gps, however no icon shows on the screen for the location when I map to it. Am I doing something wrong or am I expecting something to happen before it should be happening? I have done this on both a 1390 and a 1490. The locations show, but no special icon.

I have Win7 that I have been connecting to regularly with the zumo 660 for the last 11 months. Recently it takes 3 or more attempts before it will connect. The green eject icon shows in the system tray and then disappears and the zumo boots up in normal map mode. I hold the on/off button for 8 seconds and get the soft reboot and usually after 3 attempts or more it will connect.

Yesterday I rec'd an email stating there is a map update available.

In the past, folks on here have downloaded these updates only to find glitches and some go back to the older version maps.

If anyone has any feedback on any of these updates, it would be good to know if they are worth downloading or if we should wait 'till they work out the bugs (if any).

I bought one, love it. There are two issues, I cannot eject the GPS (Windows see it but does not show the eject option), MapSource does not see it either. BaseCamp see it but I don't see an option in base camp to load or download from the unit.

Please help

I'm returning my 1490T today. It doesn't appear to be sold anymore. Any suggestions for a comparable replacement (without all of the bugs of course). The new 30/40/50 series seems way to bare bones for the cost.

Last year at about this point the prices for the Lifetime Map Update dropped considerably. Most recent price on Amazon is $63.99 and the electronic version is $64.99. Has anyone seen any lower?

Keep this thread updated with the lowest prices. Last year they went to $59.99 and stuck for awhile but then dropped down to $49.99.

I don't use the Voice Command much at all. Yesterday, when I tried to use it, I found some problems. On some commands, like "Find by name" and "Find City" I get an error response: "This feature is not availalble in American English."

The JCV file that downloaded with the new map on my GPS 3790LMT show D3191030A. Is that the correct JCV file.

I downloaded the new map into my 855 and it seems that I am not getting the JCV. I replace the file with the old D3060030A and it still not working,any suggestion.
