I want to back up my Nuvi 765t but I forgot how to do this. I found the post by jgermann but it doesn't seem to work with Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I downloaded the 2012.30 map last night. Took awhile but it downloaded. Anyway, when I try to shut off the 765t, I have to hold the shut off button before it shuts down. Now it is shut down but won't restart. Is there anything that I can do?

Hi, so as you probably figured I deleted in past some unneeded files like Vehicles, Voices, Text and Help files.

However it occurred to me that if I ever wanted to restore it to full factory state (with just updated firmware and maps) then I won't have the Text and Help files that I deleted

For the GPX experts out there, I created a file with copious amount of information in EPE and have problems with both my GPSr

If I place the text in the Comment field my 2460 clips after a large number of characters is displayed, my 260 doesn’t show the [More] button.

Street Pilot c550 was working fine until 2012.3 map update. Now, when I zoom out on map (or to view a route) to 120 miles, unit takes almost 2 minutes to load map and some random states will be blank or partially blank. If I zoom out to 200, 300 or 500 miles the screen goes blank and doesn’t even say “loading map”.

How do I install an mp3 file that I found here onto the Garmin?

Thanks

(PS I tried the index and the Garmin Nuvi Tips and Tricks website but could not find what I needed.)

Hi everyone,

Is there anyway to tell which time zone map (gmaptz.img) version I have in my Nuvi ?

Thank you

I get SIX speed camera ahead announcements as I approach a speed camera in Oak Ridge, TN (Excel line 340 of the Speed Camera file). There are two cameras (one east bound and one west bound) approx. 100 yards apart on a 4 lane road with a center turn lane. I have the alert set as a distance rather than speed because the speed limit is 20 during school hours and 35 otherwise.

Changes made from version 5.40 to 5.70:

• Added new Fleet Management Interface features.
• Fixed Fleet Management Interface errors.
• Added support for Maged, a new Arabic text-to-speech voice language.

I have an oddity going on -- but it's probably only odd to me! I saved my waypoints from MapSource to a .gpx file, then loaded it into GSAK. The waypoint names show up in the "code" column, and the "Waypoint Name" shows things like 29-Jan-05 9:16:08AM".

Is there a way to square this away???

Thanks,
Earl

This gives neat info like location elevation and icons to find nearest police, hospital and fuel. Wouldn't it be nice if additional icons were available their for food, attractions, etc.

Sure would save time from going back to the main menu - where to? - poi's -etc...

I Updated the new map, when i engage the address icon, it comes up no map data available. When I hit the icon points of interest, and one of the icons, food, fuel, transit, lodging, shopping, etc. it says no map available. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

1490T

I am looking to purchase a Nuvi 3490lmt and upgrade from my current nuvi 885t.
Does anyone have this Nuvi and what are your thoughts?
How much internal memory does the nuvi 3490 lmt have?
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have the Nuvi 1350T which does not have Junction View, but it does show the Lane Assist which have the highlighted arrows on the upper left corner to indicate which lane you should be in.

My question is, the Lane Assist data, is it inside the gmapprom.img/gmapsupp.img or the Lane Assist data in the same *.JVC file which also contain the junction view data?

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.
