The reason I do not purchase map updates.
(1) I my opinion, there should be two prices for maps. One price for those who do not already have an earlier version of that map, and a lower price for those who already own that map but are just updating it. Most major software companies follow this format for their software.

Mexico Trip 1490T
Just returned from Mexico (Guanajuato and San Miguel)on a two week trip. The 1490T did very well on the roads and directions. It did not know very many POI's which was ok. Overall a very good experience and it worked well.

Can it be done???
if I were to insert an sd card loaded with all the 465t files would it work as one
reason cause a friend of mine has one and I took all the file's put them on an sd and the funny thing is that when I insert it to my pc it opens up as a 465t on the run file but can't get it to do anything on my 785 recon there's a trick it just won't happen what yall think

Lost all favorites - need help
Hi,
I just updated by 1370T without reading what it did. Now I find all my favorites are gone. Is there any way to recover them. I just found out that I could have backed them up. Is it too late?
Thanks.

Lost my nüvi 760 - need FM transmitter
I lost my trusty nüvi 760 and can't find it anywhere. Looks like I may have to purchase a new GPS. I don't care if it's a bit on the spendy side and I'm a Garmin fanboi but.... I need the dang mp3 player and FM transmitter and it looks like none of the new units have those features any more.

765T Battery Life
I've had my 765T since they came out (nearly two years now). I went through all the software issues. They replaced mine three times during all that early on. Overall now that the software is straightened out I'm really happy with all but one aspect. If I try to use it on the battery it shuts down in 30 to 45 minutes. That has been my experience with all three units when I had them.

Tolls pay Garmin to use their Tolls?
Anyone ever hear of Garmin being paid to send folks via Toll roads vs other routes? Even though the non toll route may be faster?

More files to remove?
It appears to me that I can remove all the files in the /text folder on my 1490T (.glx) with the exception of the four en_GB files as this is the only language I am using on my unit. That would free up another 35 meg of space on the unit. (In older units, these files are the .gtt extension)
Anyone see a problem with that?

Garmin GPS sold with Life Time Maps
I recently bought a Nuvi 1490T with life time maps. I expected that when I registered it I would be offered the free map update. However when I registered the unit I was given an offer to register the life time card. I thought this was a bit strange and I selected to register later. I looked for the free map update but it was nowhere to be found.

Normal AC charging a 1490T
I am a bit confused by the charging of my 1490 using an ac adapter (for my cell phone) that I used to charge my StreetPilot c340.
I would like to know if what I am seeing is "normal," or do I need to buy a special (Garmin) AC charger?

Why by a Nuvi 295W
I purchased a Nuvi 1490T about 2 months ago and really like the features of the unit. Saturday I ordered a Nuvi 295W. Not for its GPS capabilities but for its WiFi capability. I have looked and looked at smart phones with their many features and realized the Nuvi 295W could meet my needs of on the go email retrieval every few hours by stopping at a McDonald or other site with free WiFi.

885 Display
I was on a long drive yesterday when I looked at my gps and noticed in the top left corner where it would show you which way u will turn ahead there was a orange flag there in stead. When I did get to that location nothing happened it just went away. Anybody know what that was ?

Purchasing a new Garmin...
Well, after getting my previous Nuvi stolen at a hotel last year (long story), and not having it surface after reporting it to Garmin (Garmin lock works evidently), I'm buying a new unit.
