Delete Favorites

How do you delete favorites on a Garmin 1450.

Organizing POIs on my Garmin

I just downloaded my first POI file to my Garmin Nuvi650.

POI Loader created a folder called 'Custom POIs' under menu option 'Extras'.

When I download my next file of POI's...say National Parks...will POI Loader create another, and separate folder on my Nuvi, or will it lump all POIs I download into just that one folder called 'Custom POIs'.

Wide screen GPS with Bluetooth

Hi

quick I need help deciding

Got to admit that I’ve been away from the GPS scene for almost two years, after a long very long trip in 2008 I parked my Nuvi260 in a drawer and haven’t been around the POI-Factory to keep up with the newer models and features.

GO problems

Some of the POI files will not show a GO selection when I select the POI. I have a Nuvi 1300. I just reinstalled the software and updated the map...still the same. We have two other Garmins and have no problem. Thanks for any help!!

Nuvi 755T Gets Hot

Not sure if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I've noticed that after my Nuvi 755T has been plugged in for anything over half an hour or so, it gets pretty hot. Not hot enough to burn me, but hotter that I would think is normal.

Is it typical? It seems to work fine, but it just seems like its operating temperature would be a little lower...

Pedestrian mode

I have a 1490T and sometimes when I'm driving on the highway a little pop up windows asks if I want to switch to pedestrian mode. I have the latest software installed. Why is it doing this?

getting started

I just bought a 1490T. I installed the software from my.gamin.com. My computer will not recognize the device. It chimes on, then chimes right back off. I am at :MY DASHBOARD;SCAN FOR DEVICE. It says no device found. Can someone get me going? I am using XP.

Garmin Nuvi: Moving Select Favorites to a POI File?

I used my nuvi today to save the GPS coordinates for a few personal points of interest to my nuvi's Favorites folder. I accomplished this basically by standing at the specific POI, touching the screen in map mode, and using the Save button.

1490T for $179.99

Need help with Garmin 755T (POI's don't show up on the GPS)

I'm a novice with POI's and I can't get the unit to recognize the POI's. I downloaded the POI's to my computer and then used the Garmin POI loader to transfer them to the 755 but they don't show up on the GPS.

1490 Wasted Screen Real Estate; Audio Disability

The nice large and colorful screen on the 1490 leaves a few things to be desired. IMHO some of them are:

locked maps

help I can't get my maps on my nuvi just keeps sending message maps are locked. What do I do?

Nulink 1695

I am thinking of buying the new Garmin nulink 1695 and all I can find out about it on the internet is the same info mostly press releases no user info,right now the only place you can get it from now is Amazon.com and Garmin at a price of $449.00 Crutchfield has if for $399.00 but you can't get it from them yet.

Seeing things?

I could have sworn, when i went on Garmnin's website the other day that I saw a nüvi® 3790LMT. It stood out because Costco.ca is advertising such a unit. Anyone else see that?

Hey, good news for a change. I had a bad charging cable and Garmin replaced it, even though I was out of warranty.

Detouring Around certain points in a route on a 1490

There doesn't seem to be a way to do this through the standard menus. Anyone know of a secret way to bypass a particular road in a route? I had this great option on my 2720, but not on the 1490.
