Garmin announces redesigned line of eTrex GPS handhelds with enhanced geocaching

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/31/garmin-announces-redesign...

I was under the impression that once you selected to download the update to your unit and computer that you could update another unit that also had lifetime maps without having to download again. This didn't work for me. I ended up downloading again for over an hour. On the first download I did select to leave the update file on my computer. Can someone tell me where I went wrong?

Hi,

I have read some references here to backing up the files on a GPS.

Is this simply:
1. connect nuvi to computer's usb com port
2. select all files
3. right click and select copy
4. go to a backup folder, right click and select paste

Or is there something better or more complete recommended?

I have a Garmin nuvi 1350lmt, can junction view be install on this type of GPS? If so, how can this be done?

We just got back from a 1200+ mile trip to and around Southern California. Previous to this I had not seen any Junction View (JV) displayed on my unit. This trip I finally got to see it in action.

TTS Number 70 and 71 for a Garmin Nuvi 660 deal with loss of Satellite reception, though I've never heard them ever spoken. I'm guessing these prompts are for a different Nuvi, and are not used in the 660......

Number 65 and 66 deal with loss of Power, and I've never heard them, either

Number 93 works, but Number 94 through 96 don't, and they are simelar....

Hello All,

I can't find any unlock code for my new garmin60CSx. No yellow card, nothing on the back of the box. Thoughts??? Thanks in advance

Have you ever bought a stolen GPS on the internet? I have. One of the internet sellers just sold me a used Nüvi 760. The GPS was almost brand new! Tried to register it on my Nüvi account, was already registered. Contacted Garmin, friendly helpful people, long story, but finally got a message: the GPS was stolen. How often does that happen?

The recently introduced Garmin Nuvi 2460LMT takes some getting used to. I upgraded from the Street Pilot 2610.

The main reason for purchasing the 2460 was to utilize the Speed Warning feature, the Red Light and Speed Camera Alerts and the larger 5" screen.

There have been a few surprises along the way as I started using it and I would like to hear from other users too.

I just got a Garmin 1350 LMT as an upgrade from my old TomTom. I downloaded and installed tons of custom POI files from poifactory. Now, how do I choose which of them I want to have icons show for on the map when I drive by them?

I do not want alerts foe these POIs. I simply want to see, for example, a McDonalds logo on the map when I drive by one.

Thank you for your help!!!

Can the Garmin maps be run on an SD Card? If they can, how do you load them? Garmin support said it could be done but I wasn't near my computer at the time. I don't remember seeing an option to update to SD when running the Map Update. Are there more choices if you run it manually?
Thanks for any help...

I think I followed all instructions concernng the downloading of Poi files using POI downloader. At the end I got an error message. Now my computer cannot find my Zumo 550 and I can't even turn my Zumo off.

I would appreciate if somebody could help me.

Is it possible to avoid the advertisements popping up on Nüvi 1370T and 2370LT
AND: Is it possible to use Tourguide POI in these models, as in Nuvi 760?

Hi,

This might be old news, but I just ran across this:

https://my.garmin.com/rma/recallLanding.faces

Garmin has recalled certain model Nuvis to replace the battery.

One types in the serial number to see if it covered by the recall.

Unfortunately, my Nuvi is not covered - so no free battery for me

Hi,

My Nuvi 750 has 2GB of internal memory with very little free space. The latest 2012 map update worked, but I can see the possibility that future map updates will not fit.

I am also using a 8GB SDHC card for POIs, and I suppose maps can also be placed on the SDHC card.

Can anybody tell me how to set the volume louder than the usual 100%? I had sent one to some one and they internaly adjusted the volume level so the unit can be heard over the big diesel motor.

Rather than buy new maps, I am considering moving from my four-yaear old Nuvi 650 to the Nuvi 3790LMT.

Looking at reviews of this GPS on Amazon.com and cnet, I repeatedly see concerns about the unit being extremely hot. Almost too hot to touch.

My 5 year old Garmin 660 can find it....

4 week old 2011 Ford Escape Can't find it...

So.... You know what I did?

I called "Lynn" at the Ford Executive Office, Yes, I have her direct number ! , and she is "Checking into this".

I finally got up enough nerve to replace the battery on my 765T! I followed the instruction video over youtube.com, it was a snap, and surprise of surprises, it works! I also have to do the same thing to a 760, should be no problem. Much, much cheaper than sending it off to Garmin, and it's as good as new.
