Garmin talk

After 5 years of faithful service my note book is giving up the ghost. I will be moving to a new computer soon but have a lot of work ahead of me transferring programs and files.

What do I need to do for my Garmin 750? Any advice?

Has anyone used bluetooth with a Blackberry Bold 9000 with a Garmin 765T? I found over time with the mydashboard updates from Garmin my Bluetooth features have become less reliable. I use to be able to voice dial with my Bold or lookup last number dialed, missed calls, etc.. Instead now I see a list of phone #s which are long stream of numbers that make no sense.

I am getting better with using CSV files to load custom POI, but I want to make sure I am using all of this capability.

Given that, what is the schema, format, structure, etc. requirements of a CSV file so I can take advantage of all the capabilities of the GPS? Presently, I am using a Garmin GPSMAP60CSx.

I have newest maps, lifetime traffic and latest firmware installed.
I was using 660 to get to someone's house, and I was getting there too early... Did not get to destination, turned off on road that would give me about 10 min more travel time... Garmin told me I'd got off path.... as expected..... I continued on my delayed route....

Hello: I had an europe map on an SD card inserted into 765T. This worked normally before. I have not needed to use the europe map for a while. Today I noticed the europe map is gone from the the list of available maps. I then put a few MP3s onto the SD card in a folder called "MP3". These songs could not be seen by the 765T's MP3 player.

for the "My Favorite Files" function. Getting ready to take a trip and this sure makes updating the files we use very easy!

Hi,

How to set Nuvi 1410 POI for speed alert only (alert whenever over-speed) I am looking to disable that warning which alerts about 700m , even speed is below the set limit. Any suggestions.

My battery Icon only shows 3 bars and never goes more than that. I pressed the bat icon till the specs came up and it only shows 68% charge. Is my battery starting to go. Is there another way to test the battery?

My wife and I own several Garmin GPS units, one of which is a StreetPilot 7200 that we use in our motorhome. On a recent cross-country trip, the 7200 started acting up and is now effectively non-functional. The initial symptom was that the unit would lose satellite reception for 10 or 15 minutes, then come back to life.

I have a 1490T that has problems receiving traffic data even though I am in the heart of Navteqs strongest signal. I can not for the life of me get a traffic icon-green circular- to appear within a 5 mile radius of my work. I have tried every option-firmware, master reset, etc. Garmin was no help. I have taken screen captures of the diagnostic sections that hopefully will shed some light.

How about Funeral Homes? Are they in the default points of interest. "Lodging"? "Recreation"? "Shopping" (for caskets)? "Transit"? "Community"? Community is where I thought they might be, but didn't find them.

I recently bought Nuvi 1490LMT which has only 2GB disk space. So I installed new maps Canada and US border states only on Nuvi disk. Later, installed maps for US on SD card by running Install maps program on my PC. The maps got installed but when I reboot my Nuvi, I get the message "Can't Unlock Maps". It still has Canada and border US states maps but nothing from SD card.

The Garmin/Asus phone is #3 on the list of the biggest wireless flops for 2010.

My Nuvi seems to randomly select whether or not to route me on a HOV (carpool) lane or not. Is there a way to tell the GPS to use a HOV lane or not? (e.g. if I have more than one person or the HOV lane is open to all off peak?)

Hi Folks:

I have a quick question. I used MapSource to transfer a map to my Nuvi 350. I have since deleted the map by deleting the gmapsupp.img file. When I display Map Info, the map still appears in the list of maps. Is there a way to delete that entry? It's not causing a problem, I'm just curious.

Is there any way to create time based speed alerts on any of the units out there? For example a speed zone set to 20mph for 7-9am and 3-5pm for school zones?

I had to reformat my computer and lost the program to change the messages (recalculating) on the GPS.Could somebody please repost the link to the program to do this.Thanks
