Garmin talk

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.

a big hello to you all i am a newibie here so please bear with me.

Hi - just looking for some suggestions or comments on a decent upgrade/update to the nuvi 360. Thinking that the nuvi 1250 or 265T might suit the purpose. My wife has the 360 and I have the nuvi 750. Both are working fine, but weighing the pros/cons of a map upgrade versus a replacement for the 360.

Preferences:
TTS
small screen size (2.8x2.1)
no flip up antenna
US plus Canada maps

Is the a POI file that would have liquor stores in it;especially major vacation spots (new orleans,panama city,etc)thanks

Hi,
This is the first time I am posting here.
I am hoping that someone can answer this question for me.
I have a eTrex Legend HCx with a 2GB card.
I know that it will read gmapsupp.img map with no problems at all.
But it will not see the map gmapsup2.img on the card.
I have tested this on a Nokia 5800 and a Garmin nüvi 1200

Hi,

I used a USB adapter in the car to use it to charge the blackberry and have no problems with it.

However when I used it to charge the Nuvi 350, it works fine until the main menu is on then all of a sudden the screen changes into the mode where it shows a image of the GPS unit connected to a desktop the computer and the screen gets locked out.
