Garmin talk

I recently purchased a micro SD card 4G and loaded some POI's on it. The GPS doesn't see to recognize it. I checked in my extra's folder and could only find files that I loaded directly to the unit. Help please.

I would like to have Bluetooth and lifetime maps. Speak street names and fit in my shirt pocket. Anyone have a favorite?

When you zoom out and then scroll to a different part of the continent (lets say California). If you try to zoom in on that part the map goes back to the area that you originated from. On my 265WT I used to be able to go to any part of NA and then zoom into it. Any suggestions?

The thread at http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29724 was getting a bit long. Even though I bought a lifetime subscription last week, I am still tracking the pricing. Today August 18, 2010:

Lifetime: $77.95

Lifetime Online Code: $78.95

Hi Experts,
I got GPS map updates for 2010 from Garmin for India. Is there any way that I can convert those India maps to load on a Magellan Maestro 3225 (it has US & Canada maps on it right now) ? I don't have the Garmin GPS anymore. ANy other thoughts ?

When you search for a POI by spelling it, it caches in the last recently typed places (yellow folder on the left). Is there a way to clear this list without doing a master resest? There seems to be a way to clear everything else but this (recently found, trip log, max. speed, etc.).

What is the purpose of the pictures in the Garmin 1300? What size picture can be downloaded?

Away for a few days and on day two my OH was setting up the nuvi 1340 as we headed down the street. Went over a bump and one of the security numbers was entered incorrectly and we were unable to use the system for the rest of the trip. Is it correct that you only have one try to enter the security number before you are locked out?

Thanks

i am still wondering why garmin won't put in a back button so you can reverse your route. most of the time when you return to where you started from, the gps takes you back a different way.

We've been using a Garmin 260 for several years with no problems. The only additional function that would be very useful is the ability to set a route in Google map and upload it to the unit. Found a new 765 for $200 and it supports routes. Is $200 a fair price considering it's a little older technology?

I like Garmin but three of my units have required a repair where the power cable connects. Anyone else have those problems?

Is there any way to remove POI's from the GARMIN factory installed POI list? For example, BP gas stations.

This is not intended to be a debate on BP, but I am sure you get the drift.

I cannot figure out how to get to the last message of a very long post without having to go to the next page and scrolling to the bottom. Let me explain: If, say, a post has 90 replies and when I logon it shows that there are 5 new ones since the last time I looked. If I click on 5 new it just takes me to the first page.

I have a file in my Garmin 855. It is GMAPPROM.IMG the size is 1,211,552 KB. What is this file. Can it be deleted.

Hi,

I have the garmin 3790T wondering if I should get the Red light camera download I live In Boston, MA

Has anyone ever seen or created a chronological listing of the various units? Something similar to that over at dpreview would be ideal - but I've never seen something like this for the Garmin units.

Given the various pertubations of features that Garmin offers/removes, this might show some master strategy on their part

I can access the information on my Garmin 1300 with my computer but when I hook up my C330 it will not show the GPS present. Does the C330 not have this feature? I wanted to see memory left and to delete some language files.

Buy one, get one free.

This is being discussed over on the GPS Review forum, but I haven't seen anything about it here at POI factory. Garmin has added some LMT models to the 13xx and 14xx series nuvi's which are bundled with Lifetime Maps and Lifetime traffic. (https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134) Most of these models are only $50 higher than the same model without the Lifetime maps.

I have downloaded City Navigator North America NT 2011.20 and successfully installed it on my 765T, however I can not achieve a successful install on my computer so Mapsource can also use the maps. I have run the web install routine three times. Install routine runs the full course but leaves nothing behind except empty directories where files are to go.
