Garmin talk

The card went in. Shows up on the computer as a drive. But I cannot get the card back out of the Garmin. I push on the side of the card and it just stays in. Nothing to grab to pull out. What do I do to get the card out?

I was in Austin, TX this week and being totally unfamiliar with the area I was dependent on my GPS unit. All was going well until she had me exit the freeway, stop at the light then proceed to reenter the freeway. I got specific instructions for both the exit and entry ramp. After that all was fine. Have you ever seen this?

Hello, I did a search to see if we have a classified section. Apparently the quick answer is no. Just wonder if anyone can recommend a place that sell just the cradle for cheap? I don't mind an used cradle if someone has one for sale? Thank you!

Last post on this topic was in 2008 so I thought I'd share my recent experiences. Since I have a long commute and frequently make long weekend trips, I thought I'd give audio books a try. I found that my Garmin (755t) only supports AA audio books but most of the free downloads are either mp3 or m4b format.

Just saw a killer deal:

Newegg has Garmin nuvi 1300 LM 4.3" GPS Navigation with Lifetime Map Updates for $78 after applying coupon code EMCZNYN52 (includes shipping).

Garmin has created an open site for geocachers. I'm a little surprised they've made their own site after working with geocaching.com over the years.

After downloading some POIs including Redlight cameras and Speed cameras to my Nuvi 660 I am now getting some speed warnings as I travel about town. There are no speed cameras in use in my area so I am not sure what is causing it. I get a warning tone a red banner and a 11mph speed alert when this happens. Any idea on what may be causing this?

I am a huge fan of the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. So, I loaded this CVS file and the icon onto my Garmin 1350.

I am fairly new to actively using custom POI's so I apologize for the dumb question which is "How do you use and how can you recognize the POI is the result of one of the custome POI files"?

the only way to get my custom poi's to work on my 4gb sd card with my nuvi 1490t, is to set alert for distance only,poi's will not work when trying to set alert for speed with poi loader.when setting alert using speed alert, it will show poi on unit, but will not show the go to button.any ideas to make poi"s work using speed alert, in stead of distance alert?? thanks.

With the good discussion about attempting to force the GPS to go a certain desired route and how challenging that can be, I wondered about the option called "Calculation Method" which sets how the unit searches for the route using the following criteria:

1. Quickest Calculation: Calculates the route the quickest, but might not produce the best route.

I have a nuvi 250 and up until now I've had a couple of topo maps that I got from GPSFileDepot on it, one on a 1 gig SD memory card and another in the available internal memory of the nuvi. I could select between the main map or either of the two topo maps (for different areas). I didn't have enough memory for more maps.

I have updated my software (version 3.60) and my firmware is version 2.60.

My maps are updated to CN North America NT 2011.30.

When I turn on my unit I get the message "Cannot Authenticate Maps"

Several months ago I had to purchase a new Garmin as my 2720 power cord broke while on a trip. The 2720 GPS had a selection for routing that I could choose between a truck and car. The truck option seems to keep us out of areas that a camper (5th wheel and truck) did not need to be like downtown Savannah, Georgia on Abercorn drive.

I have downloaded the POI for Harley Davidson Dealers and cannot figure out how to install it on the Nuvi 850.

This may be old news but first time I noticed it.When you put in more then two locations in any order it will give option to optimize the route.Lots of options also to send to different devices once you complete the route. http://www.mapquest.com/routeplanner

When the POI you are interested in is a .gpx only file, and you need a .csv file.....

What do you do???

Yesterday I noticed that there was no signal for the NuLink service, merely just an "X" there. I know it was working on Friday 10/3. Unit has only been registered since June of this year, so it's not an expiration issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I thought I'd check here before trying to contact Garmin. Everything else on the unit seems fine.

So I'm installing maps on my 60CSx, and the process tanks because MapInstall couldn't detect a GPS attached to the computer. This is not the first time this has happened and it is annoying. The install process has to be restarted.

So, what causes the connection to fail, and how can I prevent it from happening again?

Because of the recent major price drops for Lifetime Maps, I finally broke down and purchased it. I've read most of the forums regarding whether or not it is worth buying etc. What confuses me is when I downloaded and installed the update the older version remained on my computer. When I go into Mapsource I notice both files are available. Is it okay to delete the older file?

As I use it on my normal riding around, I find it to be better than 2011.2 and 2008.

It is faster on recalcs, and in general seems to be faster.
