Creaking nüvi
I sent my nüvi 760 in for the battery recall. The replacement unit "creaks" when I handle or squeeze it. Also, the touch screen seems to have much more "give" to it than the original.
I had a 760 which was lost/stolen. I replaced it with another one which needed the battery recall done. Neither of those units creaked or had "give" to the touch screen. They were both like rocks.

are they all slow to find satellites?
I have an old 760 and my main issue with it is that sometimes it may take several minutes to lock onto the satellite. I have updated it as much as I can figure out. So I'm considering one of the newer units with traffic and lifetime maps and wondering if the newer models have improved the lock-on time? Seems like tomtom is faster.

I am so confused already.
With my 1490T I seem to have "recurring-deleted favorites syndrome."
Favorites that I delete somehow re-appear on my favorites list. Sometimes, after I have replaced a favorite with an "updated" favorite with address information, for example, the "old" favorite without the address re-appears, and the new one is gone. Sometimes they BOTH show up.

Where is the Nuvi 2300 series?
Wonder what is the wait on the promissed 2300 series, Amazon has a 4 to 5 week wait on units that were supposed to come out on fourth quarter.
PCNation doesn't even have it for pre-order.
Has anyone seen them advertised at other places?

Looking for a tablet or Netbook and saw that Garmin has software for laptops.
Has anyone use the Garmin Mobile® PC on their laptop?
If so does it work just like my Nuvi 750 map?
Thanks

Height of overpass
New to forums so don't know if this has been covered. RV is 12 ft 6 in tall so would like to map around low overpasses. Do any Garmins do this?

re-installed Windows, no more MapSource
Hi people,
I have a simple (to you) problem, but cannot get past that. Recently I have abandoned my old good Vista (montrosity) for newer and faster Windows 7 and want to get all aps as I had them before on my PC.

1390LMT installation error while trying to update to 2011.3
Just got a new 1390LMT. While trying to install 2011.3, when I press continue after: "Ready to update your maps." I get the following error: "An unexpected error has occurred and the program must close. If you continue to experience this, please contact customer support." This happens after communicating with the server.

Garmin has too many models, too confusing to buy
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.

Anyone getting their POI's to work when loading them on a MicroSD using a 1350T? ? ? ?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Can I use my new maps on another unit?
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.

Did my Garmin StreetPilot C320 bite the dust?
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.










Just bought Nuvi 465t...
I just bought a 465t and was wondering if someone could help me put my saved poi's from my 350 on the 465t? I have over 250 saved poi's I would like to transfer to the 465t, so any help would be appreciated.
