Garmin talk

Is there anything I should know about downloading red light camera files? I have done it in the past w/ windows 2005, I know have Windows 7 and a new nuvi 1350 LTM and cant seem to see it downloading when following the instructions. It says to "save " instead of open is this correct? When I save it just downloads the Excel sheet and doesn't open the poi loader. Help!

I occasionally have my Blackberry connected to my GPS for hands free talking. Last week when I got it connected, I could not get rid of the symbol in the corner of the GPS that meant I was using the phone.
When I tapped that, one of the options is to HangUp. This didn't work.

Hanging up my Blackberry by pressing the red phone didn't work either.

I was looking to buy a Nuvi 1690 as a second unit primarly for the nuLink feature but found out that a Canadian unit will not work in the US and a US unit will not work in Canada. A rather stupid setup for a device thats made for traveling if you ask me. We live one hour from the US Canada border and make several day and weekend trips to the US. We also drive to Florida at least once a year.

Hi....I see their are two services for my Garmin Nuvi 660 offering traffic updates. Can anyone provide some information on them? One is Navtec and the other Clearview. Is this a one time charge?

I want the rest areas to show up on the map while we're driving. How do you do that? Can anyone point me in the right direction

As Title states, I didn't download it.....

If memory serve me.... I think last year the upgrade happened in Late October....

I'm trying to determine when I should start expecting next Map upgrade....

I just purchased the Garmin 1390LMT and when I look up a Costco, Walmart, Fry's etc. I get a myriad of choices sorted by distance. What is the advantage or how should I use the Custom POI's for the same companies?

Just wondering if anyone else out there has had problems with their 765T (or similar model) power cradles going out on them? This is the 3rd power cradle to go out on me in 4 years, and it always happens when I'm on vacation (last year), or about to go on vacation (next week) and really need it the most.

I added a few to my Nuvi 855 (Starbucks locations, etc.) that siad they had the verbal components (I assumed warning you when you were within X distance) but did not get any audio, just icons on the screen. Do I need to configure something else?

New to adding POI files so thanks.

Hello all, Tried to load custom POI's to my SD on my 1490lmt using the POI Loader and it does not work. However, when I direct to the internal memory it works. Does that mean I can't download custom POI's to the SD?

Latelty I notice that when I plug in the GTM-20 cable sometimes I get the following message on the screen "This device is not supported " My Gps is updated and why I still get this messages from time to time.Also year ago garmin was telling me what update where avaiable before I download them now does not show me what does install on my gps.You know it really make me wonder all the money garmin u

No real big deal but 95% of the time I simply want my GPS to go the map screen when it powers up instead of the main menu. It's only one touch to get there but annoying just the same.

Has anyone discovered a way to go directly to the map screen when the unit powers up?

need a bit of help , got a few places but cant figure out to get them loaded onto my garmin Montana 650t

HELP PLEASE

Hopefully this is not a repeat.

When I select points of interest and the list is displayed it lists the distance and general compass heading.

Has anyone seen my windmill, it was there last week!!!

Was it sent out for service???

Do I need to call the suicide hotline or the lost and found???

Ok, whoes been out and brought one, are they going to be better?

I have seen many posts about different mounting options for my Garmin Nuvi, but this is a slightly different angle.

I got an email this morning from Amazon announcing their card based lifetime map updates for under $50 (again). I just bought one for my son which shipped yesterday for over $70. Last time they did this, it was only offered for 2-3 days. I hope some of you get in on this.

Just dowloaded the Michigan Cider MIlls from POI-Factory. I tried to save as a .gdb file and as a .gpx file but both say it is an invalid file and Mapsource will not open it. I KNOW I have done this before (I think) but sure cant make it work this time. I am trying to plan a fall color ride and this would be a great source of ideas. Appreciate any help that can be provided.

We've got a new Jeep with what appears to be a Garmin in-dash nav as part of the electronics.

The owners documentation states that custom POI's can be loaded. Here's the text from the manual:
