Garmin talk

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...

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?

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.

Walmart has Garmin nuvi 855 4.3" Widescreen GPS with Speech Recognition for $98 with free site-to-store shipping, otherwise it's $1.97 to ship to home.

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.

At Staples this week...

I have a Garmin 1450 and a third of the screen is taken up by Driving/Elevation/Time/Speed how do I get this off my map screen.Thank You

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Question for the knowledgable folk here. I just purchased the lifetime updates for my Nuvi370. My question is can I install the updates on more than 1 PC? I currently have Mapsource on my desktop, but I need to replace the HD. In mean time I want to install the updates on my laptop so I can have the latest maps available.

Looking forward to the answer.

I currently own a Nuvi 260 that came preloaded with North America, Canada and Puerto Rico; I have used the 260 in Canada, Alaska and Puerto Rico and find this the ideal map for people living in the USA.

I am using my 765T MP3 player and sending through my FM radio, as I do not have an audio in jack on the radio. It usually works very well, but sometimes I get a bleedover of distant radio stations, even on the unused frequencies, when weather conditions are just right.

I'm reading some stuff around that says proximity alerts work ONLY on POIs that at or near a roadway. I have several Nuvi 1450T's. I am in Emergency Mgmt. I've created POI's for tornado sirens, rain gauges, and some vulnerable things like pipelines, pumping stations, etc. Obviously, most of these are NO WHERE near roadways.

Why do not see poi or gpx files in the browse box POI loader?
