Garmin talk

does anyone else have one of these units?

I ran across this on amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-3490LMT-4-3-Inch-Portable-Navig...

"This item has not yet been released.
You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives."

Amazon does not say they are out of stock, instead it reads "this item has not yet been released".

On a recent 4WD deep in Forest Service roads I wanted to transfer a waypoint (POI) of a road intersection to a friend with another Garmin. He wanted a shorter way out.
I could not find the coordinates for the waypoint on my GPS.
Is there a way to transfer coordinates without a computer? I was so sure I could........

In an effort to get more familiar with my Garmin gps and practice some tips learned on this forum, I created a short 20 mile route and proceeded to see what campground POI's showed up along my route. What I discovered is that looking for POIs ALONG A ROUTE My Garmin 750 only shows those within 1 mile of the road.

I recently purchased the nuvi 3790LMT unit and loving it but trying to use Basecamp is very frustrating.
I want to be able to create my own route and exporting it to my garmin but when I select the waypoints and select create route,all I get is the individual waypoints saved under my favorites in my garmin. I thought I can just combine all the waypoints into one single route.

Does anyone know how to reload original files on a nuvi 855T ? I wanted to free up some space on this unit and deleted some needed files. I lost Speech Recognition. I'm up to date on the software (v4.70)
Any thoughts? Thanks

Have recently purchased my first gps a nuvi 1350lmt. Well... soon after that, I realized how many different models & features there are out there and much fun gps'ing is! I have been doing a lot of reading on this site. ( and have much appreciated the insight & experience of the contributions here! )

New guy here. I suppose this is like asking for the moon, but do ANY Garmin (or other brand) gps's allow you to search for POI's within xx miles of the road along an entire route?

Searching for campgrounds within 5 miles of the road along an entire route comes to mind. Streets and Trips has a similar function.

I just downloaded national_parks_plus (Last updated 09/12/2011) poi to my 755. However, when I view the poi's it only shows some of them. The majority of them are not showing up. It shows the farthest one as 180 miles from me. Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue might be? Thanks

First off, I am a newbie here and I am sorry if this is already discussed somewhere else.

I downloaded some custom poi files today. Is there a way to create sub directories? Right now when I go to my extras there is only one directory. (Custom POI)

I am curious. Does anybody know how many of the above POIs are in the data base. I read there are only 467 speed cameras in total. I suspect there are that many alone in DC, MD, and Northern VA.

When I approach a Red Light Camera, my Nuvi 1450LMT makes a double chime and a little grey rectangle appears on the map with "RLC Camera Alert".

Amazon one day only sale $149.99.

Came across this on GPS tracklog, enjoy

I have been tying to follow the Junction View thread. I am not too sure of the solution of getting the full files that can be installed on the micro SD Card for the 1490T. Did Garmin make the full file(s) available or was it made available only with new maps update? Is there a solution? I am in NJ and I do get a few JV and lane assist on route 287 and route 78.

Changes made from version 7.40 to 7.50:

Fixed an error that prevented a user from selecting Country or State/Province while searching for an address using third-party maps.

Fixed an error that prevented a user from using a map from an SD card.

Fixed an error that displayed No Matches Found over the city-search results.

Anybody got TourGuide to work with Geocaching POI files?

I just downloaded poi for red light cameras and speed cameras onto my nuvi 780. I am interested in testing this out as i know of a red light camera that is nearby and i want to test this out. I guess all i have to do is drive with my nuvi on and i should receive an alert when i get close to the camera, assuming that this camera is included in list of sites. Am i correct

When I turn on the 200w it loads map and runs. If I plug in a 12v source, or interrrupt the power while it is on, it reverts back to the startup screen, shows the computer connection icon, and the green bar rolls across slowly which I assume it is rebooting. It does this anytime the 12v supply is interrupted. Is this normal. I don't seem to remember it happening before.
