Base Camp update
There is a new version of Base Camp out. It fixed a problem I was having connecting my 76CSx to it. It still has the note "Base Camp does not work with Serial units."

7x5 unit fix (JCV)
There is a file D3060030A.JCV which can be downloaded from the following Garmin link. The file size is 752MB but seems to be working great on my 755t unit. No resolution problem or split screen. It might work on other units too.
Check it yourself..

2460 software & map upgrade problems
I had a 1490 for 2 weeks until i realized that the new maps were too big for it. Back it went and I now own a 2460 which is a much better unit...except for the updates. My 1490 updated the software and maps with no problems.

Guess 1490 is gonna be discontinued soon
I just got a flyer alert from Tigerdirect . ca . In it they are selling a refurbished 1490T for $99 CDN. Usually this means they are clearing out stock on soon to be discontinued items.

Lane Assist (lost after 2012.20 update)
After I updated my 3790LMT to 2012.20, I lost about 95% of the "Lane Assist" view in my area. Did this happen to any of you as well? If so, does anyone have any comments or solutions? I called Garmin with this problem and I was told that it was due to them using their own data with this release as they are no longer using Navteq.

Strange 3790LMT Navigation
Was on my way to my son's graduation in Orlando last week and needed to stop at his girlfriends place of business to get our tickets. We get off the highway and the GPS takes us about a half mile past the entrance to the shopping center where she works through another intersection and has us do a U-turn in a very busy area just past the intersection.

Garmin 3970T and Custom POI's
I have read every thread and am still not understatnding why I cannot get any custom POI's to show on the map of my 3970T. Using POIloader I loaded 6 .CSV files. On the unit in the POI directory I have the GarminPOI.gpi, NJ Speed Traps.csv & NJ Speed Traps.bmp for the 24x24 Icon. This is repeated for the 5 others loaded.

Garmin BaseCamp
Am I the only one having problems running BaseCamp in 64 bit, Windows 7?
I have it installed in 3 systems: the 2 32 bit systems work fine, the install on the 64 bit does not.
Tried it on other 2 64 bit systems with the same result: no go.
Interesting enough, Microsoft gave it its "Compatible" seal to run on Windows 7, 64 bit:

Should Garmin recall the 1XXX series???
Ok, I'm a wit's end over this "lack of space issue" ... and the inability to install a "full" map update ... or receive a "full" JCV junction view file.
I've gone round and round with Garmin customer service reps...who've been giving me a "round robin" of canned responses. I've even emailed Garmin executives (with no response.)

New Update 2012.20 (map screen still shows 2012.10)
Hi- I have been searching threads and can't find the answer to this one. I did the update and on the maps screen info it still shows ""CN North America NT 2012.10" It is just the lower 49 SE states. Now I have another listing for the new update. Is here going to be another "CN North America" for every update that comes out? I thought it would overwrite it. Thanks!

JV Display on 3790LMT
On my 3790LMT, PhotoReal Junction Views are displayed as split screen for 2012.20 North America maps.
Are they displayed as split screen or full screen for the 2012.20 Europe maps on the 3790LMT?

Duplicate POIs on Garmin Nuvi with POI Factory custom POI file?
I'm new to POI Factory and I was wondering if multiple duplicate POIs are created when you add custom POI files from POI factory? I've not yet downloaded and installed one of these to my 2460LMT because my concern is that when I search for a POI I will see duplicates of a bunch of them (WalMart, Subway, Target, etc.). Is this the case and is there a way to prevent duplicates?

Mapsource Officially Discontinued
Falagar on Garmin's Forums reported today that there will be no further releases of Mapsource.
And I am sorry to disappoint, but yes, MapSource has not been worked on in quite a while, and there will be no new releases of that software.
You are of course welcome to keep using MapSource, we will keep it on the website for the foreseeable future.

Something To Consider If You're Unhappy With Garmin
If you are unhappy with Garmin and are looking for a new gps then please keep in mind that you can always buy a used smartphone and use it as a "smart device" without having to purchase an expensive data plan.

Duplicating Waypoints
Why do some of my waypoints clone themselves? I delete the duplicates but eventually I go in and find "Joe's" and "Joe's 1" and "Joe's 2". Some of the offenders duplicate once, some twice and some three times. Not all of my waypoints do this. Anybody else experience this?
Hawaii? (will C340 work there?)
My son wants to borrow my Garmin C340 for his trip to Hawaii. Will it work there, or should I say, are there maps of Hawaii on the C340?
Thanks,
