While in a route, is there a way to change the color of the highlighted route to a different color than the standard color of purple?

I am ultra new to this aspect of owning a GPS and am super excited about he possibilities.

This is from the WI DOT website:

Is there a way to input info such as road closures into my 1490, so that I would not go that way on a leisurely trip this summer?
Quite often the detour route is a poor option.

Had my computer worked on, and now my "POI Verifier" does not work. I purchased it from The "Retired Techninian" and was given a registration number which I no longer have. Is it that important that I use it, or can I still "load" POI's without it...HELP!

Tis is a 1490 using software version 5.20.
When I create a route on Mapsource (latest version) and then import it to the unit some waypoints I have created do not draw correctly. Anybody having similar issues?

Anybody knows where can I find software version 5.10 for my 1490. I have tried the addresses provided in some previous posts but it just takes me to a buy map software page!

just wondering if i got the newest updated mapping, would it still have the truck setting feature. my newer nuvi doesn't have it, and i don't want to keep buying units

Just updated to the latest map and now find that the default level of resolution is about 12,000 feet. In other words, just driving around 30 mph after turning on the unit, I see a map of the area with major roads shown within about eight miles. If I want to see what used to be the default resolution, I have to hit the plus sign about 10 times.

Anyone else had this problem?

5" screen with free traffic. Great deal.

I think I am going to finally make a decision and buy the Nuvi 2450LM.

Any advice on buying or not buying this??

Any problems with this unit??

Will map updates fit on this unit??

Thanks Mary

***GARMIN STRAIGHT TALK -

I downloaded ExtraPOIEditor but when I run it, I get an error that the program can't find file RICHTX32.OCX. Where can I download a SAFE copy of that file that runs under Vista?

Can't open the web updater program I just downloaded from the Garmin web site. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have two Garmin products and Mapsource. Does anyone have a step by step procedure to add POI's to a map?

Just bought the Nüvi 1390T, Europe map, but cant find the maps, gmapprom.img etc. on the GPS in Explorer.
I have set the Explorer to show hidden files. The properties on the GPS in explorer shows files near 4GB, but counting the files visible is far from that size.

Any sugestions?

I have noticed last week that after the new maps update, speed limit sign has started showing up on 401 East express lanes. So looks like it is fiinally coming to Canada.

I'm hunting for another gps to replace my trusty nuvi 350, can anybody help me by posting their GPS model and how much memory it contains on board? Garmin's website doesn't show that info.

It has been a while and I forget how to view the errors logged on the zumo 660. I know I can hold the battery for THE diagnostics screen and hold the reception signals to get the satellite screens, just can't remember where to hold to get the error screen?

Can't seem to use the right word(s) when searching to find the thread that taught me this in the first place.

Any clues? Thanks

It's not listed as Compatible, but I think the list is just old.
