Garmin talk

Anybody have a 1300LM that can answer this for me. One of my riding friends is very none technical. Tried to talk him through installing a micro SD card with POIs into his 1300LM over the phone. He said he doesn't see a "Do Not ask me again" check box on the SKIP screen when the unit is booting so he has to hit SKIP everytime he turns it on.

Just got an email from Costco.

Garmin nuvi 3750 4.3" GPS with Carrying Case

nüRoute™ Technology with trafficTrends™, myTrends™,
ecoRoute™ & Lane Assist
Item # 554091

I am new to this GPS system. I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 255W. I downloaded the latest maps when I bought it.

Now, how much space is left for downloading of files from POI? Could we overload the GPS? Could downloading large files eventually slow down the GPS while in use?

Thanks for any enlightenment someone can provide.

I have a couple of suggestions for new features for the Garmin nuvi and I can not find the appropriate web link on the Garmin site to input these ideas...I must be missing some link.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Well, a friend just dropped off a 2350LMT for me to play with - noting that I am extremely partial to the older GUI, I didn't (and still don't) have much hope for the product.

The unit won't be mine (I would want a 2360, but this was an early sample and all he had).

I did my weekly speed/redlight camera POI update and also checked Garmin WebUpdater. There is an update v. 5.0 to the system software.

I can't seem to find a definate answer as to whether or not the numap lifetime will work with the 295w. Has anyone seen it in writing? I am considering making the purchace once I know for sure. Thanks.

HELP: Can I re-download a portion of the updated map. I normally use My Dashboard which downloads to my pc and the gps. Since I had to use My Map this time, just the map downloaded to the gps and not my pc. I know I didn't click on option. My mistake, Now I want to download map into my pc. Can it be done.

is there any way to extract or look at the sepret files from a GUPDATE.GCD......

Two quick obsetvations after downloading and installing 2011.4:

1. My address in Mapsource is still mislocated. My house number is 16. When I search for #16 in Mapsource, it shows a location several houses down the street. My house in Mapsource shows up as #44. Checking the Navteq site, its dead on, with the pionter on my back porch in satellite view.

Does anyone know when this update is coming? 2011.4 has been out for 24 hours now and is old news. This is the internet/information age where things happen more rapidly than ever. If Egypt and Tunisia can overthrow enitre governments in a few weeks, shouldn't we expect to get map updates at least that fast?

Before Garmin went to the "new" map install process several releases ago, I used to download the "whole" map update (2011.10 was the last one like this). Then I would connect my GPS to my 1st PC and run the install.

I have a 765T that had a 3D map file until I updated the map selecting "The 49 States" 2011.40.

Anyone else with this unit get a 3D file?

Just downloaded 2011.4 map update.

2011.4 is out.

Hi could someone run that by me again I was away and couldn't use my pc, can anyone tell me the format I need to play video on my nuvi with a sd and a micro sd Thanks

Screen is hard to view in sun light, is this a common problem with the 2300 models?

I just got off the phone with a Garmin representative who stated that the 2011.4 map update will be officially released tomorrow. Thought I would let everyone know.

Thought I read some where here in the forum, that we can update more then one of our Garmin's with one map purchase, is this true? and if so where was the post.

Changes made from version 3.60 to 3.90:
