Garmin talk

HELP please...... I was trying to free up memory on my new Garmin 1450 LMT, everything was going good. I was removing all the languages except english and I accendently took out the QWERTY keyboard file. I still have a keyboard in english but it just runs from a-z. Anyway my question is.... Is there a place to download the original file?

Lately I receive lots of inaccurate traffic data. I frequently have a red delay of 8-12 minutes on my nuvi 265wt. After checking the "traffic on route" to see details and then returning to "my traffic map" the delay suddenly disappeared from the map. Minutes later when I actually pass the traffic delay area, there was never any delay period. What could influence the delay to pop up?

Just curious as to an approximate amount of memory used in a POI file with 1,000 points of interest?

I understand they will do an on-line update for a fee. I'm on dial-up so can only update with CD.

Planning a longer RV trip this winter and thought why not use my Garmin 765 more than have locally.

Came here before, and found it full of great content and discussion.

There was this offer for Red Lobster for $29.99.
It had a coupon and and scissor coupon picture.

How do I clip the coupon?

TIA

So my brother just sold his "legacy" megellan maestro 3100, which they are no longer making maps for.

I told him to buy a garmin. Pricing around, there are LOTS of sub $100 models... I saw the 295w model, which for sure has lots of buzzers and bells, but a small screen...

What would you guys suggest ??? Something under $100 (more under, more better )

I have Bank of America and red light cameras .csv files yet only the red light ding..my question is what makes this announce but not the other csv files? Thanks,Tom

I just started having a problem with my 760. After awhile it begins to stop giving directions voice directions or warnings about Red Light cameras. It doesn't completely stop, but becomes intermittent. If I stop routing and reenter the destination, it will begin working again.

It has latest maps and software from Garmin.

Any ideas?

Greetings.
I'm new; many thanks for allowing me in.
Does anyone know how to use Garmin maps on a Kenwood dnx5220?
I ask because they're so much cheaper and you can buy lifetime update tickets.

im trying to load the FDNY box locations poi file to my garmin nuvi 265w but am unable to get the file to transfer from my computer to the gps unit! any help out there?

I have a 1450 and I was wondering if anyone has deleted voice files to make room?

My GPS has decided to talk with long gaps in her speech. All the instructions come through but there are long gaps.
. Any ideas for a fix

Thanks All

I have a new Garmin 1490LMT. I lost the voice the other day. It was very cold that morning. After several minutes I powered it off then on and it came back fine. Anyone else experience this problem? Just wondered if this is a common problem. I have the latest firmware.

Just drove from Northern California to Phoenix, AZ. I have the 2009 maps in my Nuvi 650. I downloaded POIs, icons and sounds for gas stops. There are lots of new gas stations, strip malls, etc! But they never showed up on the screen. Sounds didn't work, icons never showed, empty fields are what I saw. Anyone that has downloaded 2011 maps, are you satisfied? Improvements?

Someone wrote a few weeks ago how to convert the speed file so that I can choose a specific distance for all the alerts to go off. I looked through my old posts and unfortunately cannot locate that thread.

Could someone please explain how this is accomplished, I've tried several times and can't figure it out.

Thanks

I've toying with idea of replacing my 3-year old Nuvi 680. I haven't started doing any research yet, but I thought I would put the call out for recommendations from other users.

My niece just bought this model. Can custom poi be loaded into this unit?

Hello All,

I have these files I got while registering my Garmin I got the other day, They are the latest they have on the site.

I can put them up via zip and if someone knows what to do with them they can probably use them, they are in .img and other formats.

Heres what I have:

GMAPPROM.IMG 1,236,992
gmaptz.img 592kb
[7zS189]GARMINMAPUPDATER.EXE - FULL FILE FOLDER 51.2MB

Garmin 765

Noticed a few days ago that on view map the vehicle icon is wandering around MyHome location leaving a chicken scratch of movement lines. The vehicle is moving to catch up with noticeable small changes in latitude/longitude numbers, but where would these slightly varied numbers be stored, which data file.
