Garmin talk

I have a Nuvi 205 that is getting an Access Denied error when I try and download the newest firmware. I went on the website and my Nuvi is registered so that's not the issue. I'm also using Windows 7 and am running the updater as an administrator. I've checked off the tickmarks as run as administrator and still no luck.

When sending a map/route off of Map quest to your GPS where is it sent to on your GPS? i sent it to my SD card and in my GPS but don't see it anywhere.

thanks

I am trying to update the maps on my daughter in law's nuvi 200.

I could not download the updated map to the nuvi, because it does not have enough space. I did download the new maps, and mapsource and mapinstall are now on her pc.

But I still can't install the new maps on the nuvi, using mapinstall, because of the old maps still on the nuvi. I have just added a 2 GB SD card.

This is odd to my new Garmin and I am sure it is not Garmin but the company that supplies Garmin the maps. Instead of identifying roads, streets, and highways with the commonly used namee for them, the Garmin identifies them with the "honorary" names given to them in acknowledgment of some special person.

FWIW, according to a business news report today the total GPS sales for 2010 were down 9%. Went on to say more people are using their phone for directions.

I have a Garmin 60csx now and will be getting a 1490lmt for Christmas. Will I be able to use the same Mapsource program to upload info. to either unit?
Just bought a new 5th wheel and starting to plan a few trips.
Thanks.

Finally broke down and bought lifeime maps for Garmin. Now I really have to make sure I don't lose this unit. I wish it was my lifetime and not the unit's.

We are going to take a long trip on Xmas. There is three different routes to take. Three routes/highways are very close. How to plan certain route I wanted?

I have a Nuvi 760 containing the latest software updates and maps 2011.3, when I either drive or simulate traveling over a particular section of freeway it either locksup during normal travel or shuts down during a simulation run.

The roadway I am having an issue with is where I-275 northbound in Farmington Hills, MI ramps on to 696 eastbound in Farmington Hills.

Someone broke into my car last night and stole my 755T and about $10 in quarters (for parking meters). Of course I have it password-protected, so I guess I'll keep an eye out for someone pulling up in front of my house to get it to work.

Anyway, the issue is what to buy as a replacement. Requirements:

- 4.3 or larger
- Lifetime maps and traffic
- TTS
- Lane-assist

Hello All,

I've been a Garmin user from way back (the fact that I still have and use an iQue 3600 should confirm that). There's also a nuvi 755T in our household as well.

I received this message today from Garmin.

I just received my Nuvi 1390LMT and started using blue-tooth. My phone is not capable of syncing the phone book. Is their a way to make a phone book list without having to set them as favorites with a lat/long position. It would be nice to have quick access to a phone book style list to call numbers not associated with a favorite location.

I updated my maps last night and now when my 1690 tries to restart I get the message "Loader Loading" at the top of my screen. Also I cannot see the garmin when connected to my computer. Any suggestions?

I remember my other old GPS have pages show the status of satellites, including how many satellites can be seen and the signal strengths. However, I am not able to find the info on the 1490T, nor have seen the instruction in user's guide. Can someone help?

My nuvi 680 GPS fell out of a pocket in my jacket when I was taking it off. Although the fall was probably from about 3 feet, my GPS suffered no external signs of damage and it works fine when plugged into the car adapter. However, the unit no longer runs on battery power. It worked just fine before the "drop test." Does anyone have any ideas? Thx!

Hello again,

Well you all certainly helped me with downloading the alert sounds,
thanks again, now my problem is that I can't hear them. I am using a NUVI 1450
and it has alert sounds for the POIs I have loaded but that is all
it provides as they appear. Can you all give me a hand with this
one? I'm sure I'm not doing something correctly. I do know that I have

I know there are other posts dealing with the issue; however, does anyone know a reasonable way to transfer the MP4 to MP3 files as the new iTunes seems to convert EVERYTHING to MP4 regardless of whether it is copy protected or not.

Hi - I am new to the forum and have a question. Can I generate a GPX file on the Nuvi 360 and see it on google earth?
