Garmin talk

I’m planning a trip from Ontario, CN to Los Angeles, CA. It’s a trip I’ve taken several times.

I wouldn't think so, as it's electronic, but I get an error about an accessory is not supported? It takes longer to find a satellite, and the battery is totally shot (that is understandable, but why it's not removable is beyond me). Are you listening Garmin? I refuse to buy a new one just because! LOL Plus the Droid X is just as good as a navi.

Well don't know if anyone has had this problem before or not. I have a Garmin Quest2 on my motorcycle and just the other day it started to lose satalite reception off and on. It would get it back but others riding with me didn't have that problem all be it they didn't have a Quest2. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to load the rest area's for Michigan with an outhouse pic and a sound. When you go down the road it doesn't show the pic or play the audio. If I push on the map where I can manually select points it shows the outhouse. Am I doing something wrong? Or doesn't it do it? Thanks

Is there any way to show (or find out) what bridge you are driving on for the 765T?

On Nuvi 1340, is there any way in which you can see the whole route in map form prior to departure? Just like to have some idea of the route before I leave. I will eventually get to grips with this technology.

With this announcement today, any bets on how long the 2x5 and 7x5 stay off the discontinued list:

Couple of things i want to do with my gpx file. Can't seem

Garmin has discontinued the nuvi 855 marking the end of the 8xx series in the nuvi lineup: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=33922#nuvi855.

I just purchased a refurbished 765T so far it seems to be working OK. I decided to look thru the file folders and noticed some text files missing, all the foreign ones to be exact. So I compared them to the nuvi360 and they were all there. My question is are they needed? and if so can I transfer them from the 360.

I asked my Street Pilot to calculate a trip from Columbus, OH, to Meredith, NH. I was shocked that it was a 2300+ mile trip, taking me to NH via Minneapolis, north of the Great Lakes into Canada, and then to NH.

Then I checked the settings and found that I had told it to avoid toll roads. I changed that and asked it to find the route again and it was about 820 miles.

I just received an email from Garmin letting me know that the new map download is ready for 855

I have a Garmin 260 and cannot update the POI files. When I open the loader, my Garmin is displayed. When I try to load the files, message says: not ready, cannot open card. I reloaded the Loader, installed another card and I still get the same message. The unit shows the current POI's that are loaded. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My 1490 does not alert me when approaching a red light camera. The proximity alert feature is checked for my custom POIs. I have searched around for a setting I may have missed, but cannot find one. Does anyone have any ideas on what I may be missing?

Hi, I have just updated the software/firmware of my device ( Garmin zumo 660 ) from the Garmin site. After the download was ready a pop up tells you to unplug the device from the USB and let it restart.

The problem is, it just stays on the Loading maps screen when it restarts.

I get a green progress bar whenever I hook up the USB cable on my nuvi 760. Anyone know what this means?

What do you think of the Garmin 3790T? Also Garmin is putting LMT on less expense units and not on the $450.00 3790T what is up with that????

On a 265T, is there a way to have it announce turns earlier? I found that the GPS sometimes call out the turn too late. For example, on a highway to exit in 600m. When you are moving at 120km/h, it is a bit of a rush to change lanes in that distance.
