Garmin talk

Does anyone know when the next lifetime map release will be?

I updated my Nuvi 755T to firmware 4.00 and have seen many issues resolved as stated by Garmin.

Then today I tried to play the audio from the Garmin Language Guide and it would not play. I have done a hard reset umpteen times and also re-installed the newest voices that match the voices in the GLG.

Hi I have a StreetPilot 2610 it uses waypoints.
I will be shortly getting a nuvi 13xx and obviously I would like to copy the waypoints from the Streetpilot to the nuvi.

Any ideas ?? (thanks)

I have a nuvi 350. Have downloaded to my computer a vehicle file from Vehiclesforgarminnuvi.com
Have unzipped the file and have a file with .srf extension. How do I get it installed on my Nuvi?
I have not been able to find on the Garmin site where it will permit to install vehicles located on my computer.
Please help

Okay,

What is the internal memory of the Garmin 1300?

I'm retiring my Garmin C530 GPS and replacing it with the Garmin 1450, and I've got a couple of questions.

1. I load several hundred of custom POI's on the C530. Can I use the exact same POI LOAD program that loads the C530 on the 1450?

2. Can I use the exact same .csv files that I use on the C530 on the 1450?

Does anyone know where I can find a GPS tracking for a road trip of the Lewis & Clark expedition route, or where a road trip map is available?

I have a 265WT and use it quite a bit. I also use many of the POI's contained herein.

I'm going on another road trip in September (PHX to KY to CHI to BOS to NY to NC and then back to PHX).

Is there a way to update POI's while on the road? I have available PC's in some motels and I carry a BlackBerry (Bold) with me.

I would need to have POI Loader available somewhere.

What say?

We were on a trip last Sun. having spent a couple of nights ready to head home when my GPS wouldn't turn on when placed in the cradle. With out thinking much about it I reached up and slid the power switch and it came on. We had one more stop to make at another friends house so again without thinking much I just left the GPS on.

I recently purchased a refurbished 1490T and am happy with the large screen.

regarding the Garmin 855, I am having overheating problems and very slow start up and initializing particularly after mid morning.
Question: Should the unit be plugged into the charger all the time even when fully charger? Does this also mean uplug the charger from the car when not needed?
Thanks, David

Need a little help understanding traffic reports on my Nuvi 755t. 3 or 4 days ago I did a traffic search in my local area. It showed an accident occurring at a major highway intersection. Today I ran another search and it showed the same accident. Seems to me that in 3 days they would have cleared up the accident? How long does traffic data stay in report? And is ther ant way I cab clear it/

Just updated to version 6.60. I'll post if any problems show up.

Crashing is the best way to discribe what is happening to my 450.
I built some waypoints in BaseMap using Google for location and then copy and paste some details into the WP comment cell. Multiple Medal of Honor recipients in one cemetery where I want multiple grave sites in the comments.

Here's some more of 'em!

I don't know how to respond to errors in POI files, and there should be some information about how to do it.

I am traveling in SD and looking for a WalMart. The POI Factory file does not contain a listing for Mitchell SD, but there is one there.

My dad just asked for my help regarding a problem he encountered with his Nuvi 760. He used it to find a restaurant. The unit worked fine getting him there. But after dinner, the unit refused to start for the return trip.

I have his Nuvi 760, and I can confirm that it will not turn on. There is no repsonse when I attempted to turn it on. Black screen, no sound.

Is there any poi that is similar to the AAA guide offered by Magellan. I am new to this love my Garmin 1490t but the guide could be help when traveling.
