Finally an update that I am willing to purchase from Garmin

Apparently Garmin is really upping the ante regarding their annual map offerings, I don't know if this applies to the incremental updates for you lifetime subscribers: (The following was copied from Garmin's website)

We are making our map data even better! The North America 2011 map update is scheduled for release in late April. Check back to order a map update for your product

Garmin NUVI map file naming conventions

I found some details on the way Garmin names map files. This may help folks who are trying to fit new, larger map sets on older NUVIs or when creating map sets with a variety of maps.

Junction view

How often does Garmin add to or update things like junction view?I live in Knoxville, TN, have a 1690 and everything works great except junction view is apparently not avaiable here. Does anyone know if that feature will be added eventually?

Any Linux users around ?

I know most of us have Windows on our PCs, and I've seen a few comments from Mac users.

My question is, do we have Linux users in our group ?

I'll officially announce it: I run Ubuntu 64-bit on my home machine, and Ubuntu 32-bit on my netbook. Currently running 10.10, but that's going to change as soon as the next reelase comes out smile

Anybody else in the same crowd ?

Nuvi 7x0 firmware 5.1

So I saw today that the Nuvi 7XX has a new firmware release.

I made the mistake of downloading it on to my Nuvi 760.

Now the unit just shuts-off about 10 seconds after turning on the unit. When plugged into the power cradle the unit remains powered but hangs-up and accepts no inputs after about 10 seconds.

I reloaded the software again via Web Updater. Still, same thing.

Why wont my Garmin 660 recognize mp3 sounds that I downloaded?

I had downloaded speed/red light cameras from Trapster. I went and downloaded sounds in mp3 format from POI factory. I followed the directions from POI loader nameing the mp3 files the same as the POI files with the exception of the file extensions, ie: mp3 versus gpi. My unit picks up on the cameras poi's but wont play the mp3 sounds. What did I do wrong?

2360lmt again

Which one now? My 765T is busted and I'm toying with getting the 2350 or the 2360. I don't need blue tooth in any event. What I didn't find in here was how well the dual-orientation and Voice-activated navigation works on the 2360. Just wondering if the extra $40 or so is worth it?

Thanks

WHERE TO LOAD BMP FILES TO GARMIN 750

YOU PEOPLE ARE GREAT, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Bad GPX

Ii have a GPX file created by EPE. (Great Product). Every time I try to load it POILoader errors off. Mapsource does too. No indication of what the error is. Anyone have any ideas? There are only 70 records in the file.

Store Manual distance settings in Garmin POI Loader

Hi- Probably a dumb question! How can I get Garmins POI Loader 2.6.1.0 to remember the Distance settings when I use it in Manual mode - so I don't have to input the whole lot again next time I use it. Please make it simple!
Many thanks,

It's Friday!!!

Happy Friday, everyone!!!!

Garmin Issue - Favorites Displayed as Numbers

After a recent update many of my favorites on my Garmin 1350LMT are being displayed in a number format like 123.1. When I click on the "123.1" I see one of my favorites. I contacted Garmin and they simply told me to delete the numbers in my favorites. The problem with that is that this also deletes my favorites.

.vpm vs .sum file extentions

Does anyone know what a .sum file is? I have a couple of voices (when looking at my unit with a usb on the computer) that have two type extentions. Like English_American_.vpm and english_american_.sum
I have no idea what I did to accomplish this feat. The question can/should I delete the .sum versions? Most of all the other voices have only .vpm
