If you look at the bottom where you can add to cart, it gives you 3 choices. The last one is 4 cents cheaper, not that that's a big deal but they also are giving you the 010-11380-00 Engine Diagnostic Sensor. About $100 dollar value. Not sure why they have done this, but i'm gonna buy it.

I need a CSV to GPX , or so it seems.

Is there a way to set the distance from an established route when searching for a poi such as Truck RV filling stations,restaurant, or other?

I received my 1490LMT and it came with a GTM26 traffic receiver. The Garmin site does not show the GTM26 as compatible with the Clear Channel traffic subscription. Anyone know if it is or not? They don't show a GTM26 in their database/search engine..

Thanks!

I'm planning to buy a new GPS to replace an older Garmin unit. I would like to get one that allows me to pick what roads I want.

hello guys!

I purchased my 3790LMT about a month ago and all was fine for the first couple of weeks... and then I plugged it into the mount one day, heard a slight (but constant) hum, and got garbled noise through the speaker (almost like the speaker had been under water). When I took it out of the mount, the humming noise stopped and the sound worked fine through the internal speaker.

This has driven me crazy ever since I can remember. On almost every traffic signal in DFW there is a street sign that faces UP. I know one thing about it, the color. Other than that, I don't have a clue what's on it or why it's there.

I've heard good guesses but I'm pretty sure they're wrong. Like:

Hello all -

I have been reading about GPS battery life and battery replacement here. I have seen the cautions about replacing your battery yourself and watched the videos on how to do so.

I am sorry if this is already posted. I have looked all morning and can't seem to resolve my problem.

I have followed the instruction to download sound files for my Garmin and they will not play.

I tried the AutoZone cvs and wav files and have them named exactly except for the file extension.

I found a note on a forum that states the following:

I just bought a Garmin 680 nuvi off of E-bay. The unit came with a 3rd party power charger that is not compatible with MSN direct services. The question is, does any one have an oem charger or be able to direct me where to get one hopefully cheap.

Change History
Changes made from version 4.00 to 4.10:

Added split-screen Junction View.
Added Greek voice support.
Made several map-drawing improvements.
Improved calculation speed for long routes.
Fixed several navigation issues.
Fixed several Junction View issues.
Fixed a Bluetooth error that caused the navigation voice to remain audible when the unit was muted.

I can assure you that my 3790LMT voice activation does NOT have similar problems to these modern (?) expensive systems.

Hi all, I just installed software version 5.20 and removed all unusable voices (other than english speaking). I have also removed my trip log. I'm still having a map redraw problem. I'll be on the hwy and then it just shows my car (actually Fred Flinstones) driving on a roadless map (for a few seconds). What else can I do?

I sincerely hope this isn't a stupid question but if my understanding is correct, I'm supposed to be able to associate pictures with locations on on garmin 1490lmt. Does anyone know if this is correct and if so how I do it? Thanks for any help.

Best Buy has the GTM-35 on sale this week for $99.99.

That's a $20 savings over Garmin's list price for the traffic receiver and they throw in a 255W along with it.

Does anyone out there know anything about why the Nuvi 780 would crash and burn after a map update? After the update - from the Garmin web site - I turned it on and got a "no data" message - there was no map at all. I called Garmin, and they walked me through a soft and hard reset - but that did not help.

Would anybody know where I can find Co-op Cardlock?

Hi, my daughter has a 650 and the calibration is not working correctly. I hold the on button down until the calibration screen comes on, but no response when I touch the screen. Any suggestions?

Thank you

I bought Garmin Lifetime maps yesterday for $76 from Amazon.com. Just sharing the deal..
