Garmin talk

I have noticed an unusual bahvior on my 765T. When traveling when GPS guidance on, the unit will recalculate when traveling on a clover leaf freeway interchange.

The GPS plotted route indicates I should take the clover leaf, but in the middle of making the 360 degre turn, it will say "recalculating." Then it will re-plot the same route as before.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

I'm new to the world of GPS. I understand I can search for a POI in my area, or where I'm going, but how would I use custom POIs to push the GPS to use and alternate route to a place I'm heading for? Is it easier than using the intersection option under Route, to get the GPS to use a specific road on your trip? How would one accomplish this? How do you create a custom POI?

Staples has the 265WT for $160. This is new, not refurb.

If you go through mr rebates, you can get another 3% cash back.

I received my Garmin nuMaps Onetime DVD last week, but when I opened it up in the inside on the DVD holder is marked "Place Product Key here". Did Garmin forget something or have they somehow eliminated the need for that? There was no separate Product Key anywhere else inside the packaging.

I recently bought a Garmin 1350 with a 8GB SDHC card and have been playing around with POI files.

I have created individual POI.gpi files using POI Loader. Each poi.gpi file I keep in its own subdirectory (that way I don't have to bother with renaming each poi.gpi file). These subdirectories are eventually copied over to the 8GB card. The subdirectory layout is as follows:

>Restaurants

I just wonder how many other people out there find animated icons annoying and distracting. My tendency is to scroll on past such messages.

I live in Miami. I was driving to the beach this morning. I got two RLC warning on the way there (heading north) but not a peep before the same intersections heading back south on Biscayne Blvd....strange....anyone got the answer? The cam only takes the pictures on one side? 3 lanes each directions....

Can someone tell me what the Chipset Type M Hotfix Data is?

Nevermind. In browsing other messages, I found my answer.

Sorry,

Hi all -
Is there any way to replace and/or update a factory installed 2009 City Navigator Map with a "full version" 2011 Map that I have on a micro SD card?
There are only three files on the card:
-gmapsupp.gma; gmapsupp.img and gmapsupp.unl.

I've had my 1690 for about a month now. It seems lately that when I have the 1690 connected to my Windows 7 PC and eject it (from safely remove hardware) that the GPS continues to display the connection screen instead of changing to the operational mode so I can work with it while it charges. I think I remember that is used to do this early on.

If I get the update from Best Buy, does it just add to the original map or does it replace the whole file?
I have a NUVI 350, If it adds to the file, will there be enough room on the unit itself or does it have to add to a SD card. I have a 2Gig card that I use for POIs.

Here's the link

While traveling on I35 today I was getting the next exit ahead on the green bar at the top of the screen. Is this new or have I just never noticed? I am usually on a route and the bar displays the next turn. No luck on next street up.

I have just loaded 2011 Eastern N/America as the whole map won't fit in my 250W. When I go to maps in TOOLS it shows my original 2009 North America and Eastern N America 2011both have check marks.Now should I uncheck the 2009 or just leave it as both checked?

I am occasionally getting an error message on my Nuvi 760 that my maps are out of date. I have the lifetime map updates and keep it updated. Is there anything I can do to stop these spurious error messages?

Thanks

They finally got the Garmin Connect Photos back on line. https://connect.garmin.com/photos

Just curious on how the 37xx units perform. The "Ultra-thin" looks nice...

My nuvi was stolen out of my car. Any way to track it?

I have a c550 and want to do a 2011 map update does the unit have enough room for the update. Has anyone with a c550 updated their unit
