Garmin talk

My 265WT won't update the firmware. Using WebUpdater, it gets to about 71% and aborts with a message about an I/O error.

Interestingly, it prompts to click NEXT and I did so. More updates then available such as an update for the traffic receiver and all of the languages I have deleted. I updated the traffic receiver without incident. But the main firmware update refuses to complete.

When is the next Garmin map update due?

So who should I contact to encourage the traffic information coverage expand to my city.
I'm in Albuquerque, Navtec says they have no plans to expand here. although their first message was to talk to Garmin.
I'm wondering if the state highway department might have something to do with it.

Any thoughts?

All of a sudden now when I plug my 1490T into my Windows 7 computer i get a screen pop up on the computer that says that Windows wants to "scan and fix" my Garmin drive - also saying that there "may" be something wrong with some of the files on the drive.

There is also an option to ignore and not scan - which is what I am doing.

I'm new on the site, and recently acquired a zumo 665 Road Tech. I changed the splash screen to update it with a Yamaha picture, but the Harley logo still comes up when I first turn it on. How do I get rid of that so only the Yamaha logo shows?

Thanks

I just bought a new Garmin 1450 LMT to replace my Magellan 3225 which was trusty for years.

Here is my problem:

1) I want my Garmin to notify me voice AND with a tone (a few yards closer) when I'm about to come to a turn. (Magellan 3225 did this).

did Garmin disable the junction view in the 1490 updates? It so happens I have my Tom Tom 340 XLS with me and comparing the 1490 side by side with the 340 the Tom Tom junction view shows almost every exit ramp...the 1490 shows almost none...has this feature been disabled (stinks as it was a major reason for buying the 1490) or have I somehow ham fisted the unit and shut it off...any thoughts?

Driving down to FLA I decide to try the hands free component. At first the 1490 paired with my LG Touch flawlessly...specifically the phonebook showed on the NUVI and the calls made, etc. list worked. Now, the device and phone pair but there is no call history showing and no phonebook showing...what did I do wrong...TIA.

I have seen a few units that display a banner at top that alerts you I have installed speed and red light and all that works fine. I only get a small gry marking on screen that alerts Is there something I'm not entering to get this. The unit was purchased in June 2010 Thanks

I asked Garmin how to recalibrate the touchscreen on my nuvi 1300. Here is what they said. It worked, by the way.

How to re-calibrate the screen.

"Pre 2.70 software: Press and hold the power button until the Touch Screen Calibration appears on the display (approximately 30 seconds)

Yesterday I downloaded POI Loader and tried to install POI files.

Today I do not have any of my previous info nor the new.

What happened and how do I fix??

Im new to this and have a question. I have a nuvi 855 and am loading the poi's into an SD card in the Garmin. Will the nuvi 855 see this or do I have to load the poi files into the unit's storage?
Thanks,
Gene

so I got a new Nuvi 3760LMT for xmas... plugged it in to my computer, as I used to do with my nuvi 680, and got prompted for a software update. all seemed to run fine, but when I restarted the GPS, and plugged it in again, came back with the same software update needed.
tried it a few times, same result.

whatcha got?? i wish there were discounted stocking stuffer lifetime maps

I've been looking all over to find out how can you find the estimated time of arrival for your next waypoint?

Is there anyway to add the MP3 player to a 1490t? I purchased a 1490t and my friend has a 765T and the Mp3 player is a nice feature so I was wondering if it was something that can be done.

Just purchased a 1490T that comes preloaded with all the us maps. I am traveling to the middle east and purchased an middle east SD card.

1) Is it just plug n play, meaning I just push in the SD card and the middle east maps and sattelite will find the middle east automatically or do I have to do anything.

Just got the 1490lmt yesterday? but can not find POI folder in the device built in flash drive. I doubt whether it support custom POI? can I put the Custom POI in MicroSD card instead of device flash drive?

OK now that I have one question answered and I sent a note for technical assistance from Garmin (still unanswered)I have a question for those super-techies out there:

What is the best bit rate to use when playing music from the Nuv1 360 through the external speaker plug?

I can rip the music from my CDs at virtually any rate and space is NOT an issue!

Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could tell me if my old Nuvi 755 is working properly. I recently updated maps and software.. later that night, I headed out to run an errand... took the nuvi with me and just had the " map " displayed.. No destination, just the map that followed me as I drove thru town.
