Garmin talk

My Garmin 255W does not show a street that has been there for decades and is well known to local residents. How do I get this road added?

If it is through Garmin, do I get a free update or do I need to purchase one? (They want $80 for an update, and I can buy a newer unit with lifetime updates for only a few dollars more.)

Quick question. I had my computer repaired and cleaned out yesterday. It got rid of a lot of junk and some bugs. I am now having to re-download Garmin Communicator, WebUpdater,and POI Loader. It seems to be taking forever to download where it didn't take nearly this long before. Is there something I can do to bring it back up to speed when downloading the programs?

nuvi 37xx series v4.00 firmware released March 16, 2011

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=5063

Changes made from version 3.90 to 4.00:

* Fixed a shutdown that occurs while displaying some map features.
* Corrected a Sigma-character display error in Greek.
* Corrected language translation errors.

Can't get this file to load into Extra POI Editor. Any suggestions. Thanks

Still having problems with the sun glare on my Garmin 2360 lmt. Can you buy a film to cover the screen of the unit to help with the glare? I have set the brightness to 100%, helped some, but still have problem seeing the screen. I may use one from a cell phone on the unit and see if that will help. Never had this problem with my old 550 mounted in the same location.

I just got my 3790T. I am concerned about damage to it and was hoping to find a "skin" or some protection for the edges in case it drops.

Any Ideas? I thought that maybe it was the same size as an apple product it is 4.8 X 2.9 X X .35

I have also ordered some screen protectors. Are these going to mess up the performance of the touch screen?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have loaded my GPSmap76csx (POI loader) with wp and proximity zones, 750m, but the alert sounds at different distances. Everything from 750 to 0m!

What is wrong??

I recently bought a Garmin GPS device with lifetime maps. "Lifetime Maps" include 4 map updates a year. But, within few weeks I used up 2 updates and wondering whether I will run out of my 4 chances before the year end.

Does anyone know how often Garmin updates the maps? Is their a webpage that lists the update history?

I have downloaded all of the POIs I wanted and with some difficulty have them now in a POI folder.

I just bought an SD Card to copy that folder to my Garmin.

I decided to load the zipcode file on the sd card and the other poi files on the unit.
When I power up the 295 I get this screen:

clicking yes, Next screen:

Help please. Last few times I've run POI Updater it has frozen. With all the new RLC camera locations posted recently, I was able to determine that my Nuvi 1490T is NOT getting the RLC updates before the freeze happens.

I understand that my lighter adapter is the traffic receiver, but after two years, all of a sudden the 660 had traffic information. I decided to roll with it, but as I suspected, the next time I used the 660, traffic was gone. All of that stuff should be included imho as it's free anyway with any droid phone...

Hello, I have a Kenwood DNX6140/DNX6000EX/DNX5140 unit in my truck. I've had it for about a year now. I can't seem to figure out the correct way to load POI's unto my unit. The instruction manual tells a specific way to load with a CD through the DVD slot.

I followed the instruction manual and still no luck!

Any suggestions on what I can do so I can enjoy POIs???

Does anybody know if there is a way to change the proximity alert box that pops up on the 1350? I have seen screen shots of other units where there is a nice red banner at the top of the screen that is easy to read. Mine has this small grayish box with small text that is hard to read. If there is a way to make the red banner at the top, please let me know.

Thanks,
Greg

I have a 3790 and I know it has safety camera files. I think I would prefer to use the red light files on this site. My question, is if I download the red light file from this site how do I know my 3790 is actually using that file? Is there a way of disabling the Garmin safety camera files? Or is that necessary?

Newegg has recertified 1399T's w/free Mission Impossible 3 DVD and free shipping.

Today only.

I'm wondering how much in the minority I may be. I have installations in my two vehicles, a BMW 128i convertible and a Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV that I call semi-permanent. BMW sells accessory portable GPSs that are rebranded Garmins. I bought one of their installation kits and a Garmin and installed it. It sits to the right of the instruments.

My parents called me from the road and said their Nuvi 2xx (Sorry I forgot at the moment, may be a 205) would just power down by itself (Screen would just go black) then in a few moments would go through the power up process again, all by itself. I was with them before and this happened, and i noticed they were using their phone adapter instead of the Garmin power adapter.

Anybody knows if Nüvi 760 can play wav files? Mp3 works all right.

Hi all,

I have garmin xt on my windows mobile phone, and also have a nuvi 765t with lifetime map updates. Is it possible to copy the maps from my nuvi to my mobile xt? Thanks in advance!
