Garmin talk

I'm replacing a nüvi 265WT with a nüvi 2350LMT. I'd like your view on which data, if any, to transfer from the old to my new unit.

I upgraded when map updates for the 264WT were no longer available, because I wanted a unit that would remember routes and waypoints, and because the wife and I plan a major trip to Lake Tahoe later this month.

After installing updated red light cam poi file to nuvi 255w does anyone know of a way to test rlc audio alert tone(s) while unit is still attached to computer by USB or otherwise,
It would be cool to be able to hear what the tones sound like before taking the unit on the road?

Thanks.

I know the question has been asked many times but I cannot find the answer quickly. Could someone (or a number of someones) tell me if the GPS ON the windscreen is legal in the following states: California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Second question, can cell phones be used WITHOUT handsfree in the same states (My Bluetooth went south and I cannot pair to my GPS.)

Thanks!

This is a dumb quesdtion, but I downloaded some POI onto my new garmin 2460. How do I find the POI I downloaded? Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Garmin has released a major update of their BaseCamp software for both the PC and the MAC. Here is the changelog for version 3.2.1

Changes made from version 3.1.3 to 3.2.1:

Moved the various property tabs to a separate dialog
Added swapping the map and data list UI regions
Added activity profiles to allow easier changes between common routing configurations

Anybody having weird map redraws on the unit(1490)when using maps created in Mapsource?

I looked online at a connected unit model 1690, with a two way google local connection for two years (with ads) for about $94, refurbished on Amazon. It has traffic and a two way data connection. Gee whiz.

So I love all the custom pois on this site but what I want to know is if it is possible to some how download all the pois from a new garmin and replace all the old outdated pois on my garmin nuvi 1200

I've been trying for several weeks, and somehow just can't get the TourGuide function to work with my 560LMT. Does anybody know if the 560LMT actually WORKS with tourGuide files? Being a trucking GPSr, I'm wondering if that was left out.

Thanks,

My 855 battery compartment door does not latch. It keep falling exposing the battery. Where can I get a replacement door.

Last month we updated the firmware on one of 2 Nuvi 265WT we own. This was done at the direction of a Garmin rep while trying to address a traffic display issue that turned out to be a problem with NavTeq, not our Nuvi units.

We want to go back to the previous version.

The unit completely froze-up while navigating. Although it happened with my 660 as well when it was brand-new, unplugging from the lighter and plugging it back in caused the unit to turn off. Not so with the 2350, it just remained stuck in the same state until the battery drained. I'm starting to wonder about Garmin. It's a good thing money grows on trees! LOL

How does one have both Europe and North America maps on one SDHC card?

Don't both maps have the same file name?

Trying out the Voice Commands on the new 3790LMT. Garmin did it again. Can't use voice commands in Tools like I can with the 855, just Where To. Any adjustment in Tools has to be made manually. That sucks. Am I missing something here.

Hello everyone.

I am now the proud owner of my very first SatNav - a Garmin 265W...

In my eagerness to install map updates onto the device, I must have done something wrong as the map does not have suffficient detail nor is it pin pointing the right position on the map...

In a number of threads, we have discussed internal memory of Nuvis - and - given advice as to how to increase the memory available - and - debated the merits of .csv versus .gpx with emphasis on the fact the .gpx files are larger.

I attempted to download the most recent map update from the Garmin website yesterday and reached a blank screen titled, "GCP Install". I'm wondering if this is an IE 9 compatibility issue. Anyone else encounter this? I have not yet received a response from Garmin.

Last night about 10pm I heard a voice coming from my home office. It said--"Please drive the highlighted route"

My Nuvi 855NA came on by itself and announced the route that I had installed 36 hrs. before but had not yet driven.

Any ideas as to the cause?

I have downloaded the manual from the garmin site for my 3790lmt. Is there a better manual than that. It looks like it isn't explaining everything. I have to do a hit and miss on somethings.

Ok, this is embarrasing, but I have a quick question.

I purchased from Garmin the City Navigator Europe NT maps on a microSD card for a trip that I will be taking next month.

I know this is hard to believe, but I am not sure how to insert this into my Garmin Nuvi 1350. I obviously know which end goes into the device, but I'm not sure which side is up.
