Garmin talk

Hey everybody. Just curious if anyone has bought a hard shell case for their GPS. I'm looking for something that will withstand some abuse....like if a heavy box got dropped on it, or it got stepped on by accident......it needs to be pretty sturdy.

Oh, and don't ask why I need this....it's a sad tale.

Thanks again

Does anyone experience the Nuvi 3490 & 3790 not connect with USB 3.0 on PC?

I'm using Sony Vaio laptop with NEC USB 3.0 chipset. It does charging but not syncing.

I also have the older model Nuvi 765T which is working well with USB 3.0.

I found that my phone, that worked with my old nuvi, is incompatible with my new 2495LMT. Garmin support tells me that more phones will be added. If you want a new Garmin and require "out of the box" compatibility with your phone, you might wish to check the following link:

I have a Garmin 1350MFT. I had no problem downloading Redlight Camera and Speed Camera .csv and the associated custom made .wav alert files. However, the .bmp files that I downloaded from this site do not appear. Yes, I made sure the bitmaps had the exact names as their associated .csv files. I just can't figure it out.

Can anybody share their experience?

I'm in the market for a new GPS for my car/bike. I am not able to buy a Zumo so that is out. I am looking at the new 2455 and 2555. Anyone have any experience with them? Any suggestions? I am not really looking for Bluetooth or any of those bells and whistle. I would like to be able to create routes on Google or Mapquest and download them to the unit.

All help is greatly appreciated.

I bought a Garmin Dakota 10. Any concerns I should be aware of??

I own a Nuvi 765 and use it with my motorcycle via a Ram mount. Recently, I decided to change my setup. Initially I was using the 765 with my nuvi 200's charger (connected to my cigarette lighter port under the seat). Using the 765's mini-usb port worked fine and I had no issues; however, I wanted to go USB so I could charge my iPhone on the road without carrying a bunch of adapters.

A friend bought a 1450 LMT... I've a Nuvi 660

I use CSV files, and MP3 files for my POI's... And older POI Loader

Will this combination load POI's Successfully in her 1450 LMT ???

Or is there a difference in the POI loading procedure?

Thank You!

Hi Guys,

In preparation for 2012 Danube River cruise, I have begun to enter city locations complete with Google pictures. For some reason I cannot display places with a Longitude greater than 18.3 E with either gpx or csv format. The following cities are stored in the csv file (gpx file contains the same data) in this order.
14.42098,50.08993,CZ Prague
19.05153,47.49072,HU Budapest *

Have a 255W gps, am thinking about buying the new 2595lmt. If I do I wonder if I can load the maps from the new gps to my old 255W, anyone tried this?

I just purchased a Nuvi 2450LM to replace my old Streetpilot c340. I have been trying for 2 days to download routes created on Mapquest to it and am getting nowhere fast. I have installed the Garmin communicator plugin Ver. 3.0.1.0 and the drivers. When I plug my Nuvi in with the USB cord, and go to the Garmin test page I get the message that my device is found and working properly.

Webupater says there are new English-language voices. I install one or more of the new voices, including agreeing to the boilerplate. Installation progress proceeds without error.

When run again, Webupdater says there are new English-language voices, including the one or more I just installed.

What's up?

Just found TTS Voice edit a couple of days ago.My wife loves the GPS saying, "you missed the turn....dummy" rather than "recalculating" Simple to use and you can change anything She/he says as well as voice speed ect. Great tool. http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/TTSVoiceEditor

Planing a trip to Florida by car and would like to hear from anyone who has made the trip and has information where the best places to stop at are. Google map shows different route than my Garmin. Which is right or better?
Any good POIs on the way that would be good to stop at?
Thanks for any information you can share!
Route sharing forum anyone?

Where can I find Firmware 4.50 so that I can download to my garmin 3790lmt, it has Firmware 2.50. I search garmin and can't find 4.50.

Has anyone figured out how to get the unit out of PC mode while it is still connected to the computer? In other words so you can do maintenance, etc. I have only been able to get there while connected to a wall outlet.
