Garmin talk

I was at Best Buy Friday after my StreetPilot C320 seemed to have failed on Thanksgiving.

I happened to see in the BB ad of the Garmin 1300LM and the Nuvi 255WT for sale. Not having looked at GPS units for a while, I decided to do some research on which one I could pick up to replace my C320.

Anybody know if poi's exist for Container Stores?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 1350T and it has a MicroSD slot, I copied my 33,500 POI's onto it using garmins POI loader and press extras and I get NOTHING!

If I unload the POI's on the card and load them onto the MicroSD card they work!

Anyone getting their POI's to work when loading them on a MicroSD using a 1350T? ? ? ?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I know the short answer is "No", but thought maybe there is a way to do this:

I just got the latest update for my nuvi 1490, and it is on my pc, and Mapsource and MapInstall find it OK.

I just bought another gps, a nuvi 1450. Is there a way I can install updated maps without downloading them again, like get another number linked to the new unit when I register it.

I was on a road trip to LA and San Diego. I used the C320 all the way through. I had fully charged my C320 the night before last, and then last night tried to use it.

I turned it on, and the C320 showed "Low Battery" before shutting off. I thought that was odd since I had fully charged it. I turned it on again, it again showed the low battery message and shut off immediately.

For those of you who are planning on standing in line tomorrow morning at Target to snag a Garmin 1450LMT early bird Black Friday special for $159 ...

Well, the GPS is now "hot" online for tomorrow's early bird special price ... $159 .... PLUS there is a 10% off coupon code UZXPI33P which will take the price for a 1450LMT down to about $144.

Beats waiting in line.

Ok, I got my new 1450LMT (my third Garmin) ... it came with 2011.1 NA.

Instead of overwriting the previously installed map, I tried to update just a small 2011.3 region (Chicago to Peoria) on an miniSD card inserted into the GPS.

Mapsource 6.16.3 didn't appear to create and copy a JCV file onto the miniSD card.

Should Mapsoure have created a JVC subdirectory on the SD card?

Whenever I do a firmware or map update, I'll then do a hard reset.

After doing the hard reset procedure the unit will ask what country, what language and then I'll have to choose the voice, vehicle, avoidances etc. I'm certain the unit is resetting but what's odd is that my favorites reappear along with older favorites that I previously deleted.

I tried OpenSource Map Data on my Garmin 760

I downloaded the largest/latest US Garmin IMG file from here http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/04-11-20...

Anybody know of a good place to buy a New Battery for my 885?

I bought a Garmin 1690. How do I set the voice to say "warning, redlight camera" instead of beeping noise at the redlight poi. Thank you for your help.

Yesterday my 3790 (with the latest updates installed) was at the pin code screen and I spoke it's name and the voice command screen came up and allowed me to "view map." It totally circumvented the pin code.

I recently travelled to the Great Smokey Mountains from Connecticut.

My GPSMAP60CSx calculates different routes with 2011.3 than with previous versions. All GPS settings remained the same, no new roads constructed, etc.

Anyone else notice this?

What kind of info can I put on an SD card that can be used by someone else with an identical 1490?

The FAA now publishes free aviation charts, in raster format. How can I prepare these in a format for Mapsource to import to a nuvi?

See http://aeronav.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=aeronav/applications/VF...

I realize that Garmin makes the aera series for aviation and I understand the standard caveats about aviation gps.

Just curious.

I ordered a new 1450LMT ... why I don't know ... because I have two perfectly functioning Garmin GPS's already, but hey, I wanted Junction View ...

But now I need to know where I might first encounter a Junction View.

Does anybody know a specific Junction View in the Chicago, IL or St. Louis, Mo area?

I'm sure this may have been asked somewhere in the past but couldn't find it. Just wondering if there was a chart regarding charge times for the 765T (AC vs. USB). I don't have an official Garmin AC adaptor but I put it in the cradle and plug the cigarette lighter into a AC/DC converter. Seems to be quicker than USB.

I dropped my Garmin c580 today and now the screen is blurry. Please help
Thank you

I have a unit that was never registered. Is there a way for me pull the first acquistion date from the unit?
