Garmin talk

I just purchased a new 1490T. I knew it would only hold about 1000 custom POI. The POI file I use contain over 2000 POIs. So how can I utilize the microSD chip to hold this extra data and be accessible by the 1490 (or can it do that? The chip is 8 gig.

The day after I did the firmware update, my traffic indicator is either greyed out, or completely dissapears. Yesterday, in a short trip, it was green for about 5 minutes, went to grey, and then dissapeared completely! This is in areas where before 4.0 update, it had ALWAYS been green, yellow, or red, and indicated delay times. Has anyone else had this problem with the new 4.0 update??

I don't know how I did this but I am trying to delete a file called ETC I made for a POI.
I went into my Garmin folder in my doc and deleted the gpx file and csv file but when I unplug my gps it still is on my handheld.

I tried the POI loader but it says it will remove all my POI.

Does anyone have any advice?

If the Favorites on my 765T are in \Garmin\GPX\current.gpx, where are my Recently Found?

How do you install a GPX files I need to install Low Clearance Underpasses do to I have a Motor Home

So, I was in need of some driving time today to clear my head, and decided to go on a little 300 mile drive.

I'm happy to report the new FW update did not create any routing quirks at all. In the various cities I went through, I did make some stops to check out routing functions. Various stores and restaurants, and of course caffeine!

Hi
I have a Garmin Nuvi 260.
It is possible to extract Lat amd Long from the saved locations in the address list?
It so How?
Thanks

I want to send a point on E-470 in Denver to my 660 that is on the East ramp to I-76 at the north end of the road. I have tried three times to get the point sent and when I check back in the favorites it's always at the airport entrance at Pena Rd. I physically put the little guy in the right place and do the send but it sends the wrong location.

I'm new here and have a question about POI's and what I can expect from the POI files that I have downloaded and installed.

For example, if I install the McDonalds USA file, when I take a trip from PA to NY next week and want to be alerted to any McDonalds restaurants along the way, will that occur automatically or must I first go into Extras | Custom POIs | McDonalds?

I have a Garmin 1300 GPS. What type of sound file do I load for red light cameras, wav or mp3?

My friend just purchased a 1300. My 200W will allow me to set a specific location in another state, etc. Does the 1300 have a set location feature? If so where would it be found on the unit.

Thanks!

I many posts you read people (often the same people) complaining that Garmin keeps removing features from their newer models. I've asked in a few threads for people to list which features have disappeared, and at what price point. I have never heard anything more than crickets chirping.

Garmin Nuvi 680. I loaded a bunch of POI's, including Fast Food TourGuides, and they keep popping up on my screen. I don't want them to.

I am on a Mac, and have use POI Loader to 'remove all POI's' and I've even gone into the units file system and removed them manually, however they keep popping up on the screen.

Just noticed that MapSource and Garmin take different routes. Seems kind of odd that their software doesn't use their route. (Actually a better one.)

Any thoughts on that?

i just bought nuvi 765t from amazon. works great. right when i opened it, it defaulted to jill's voice. tried to update fw to 4.0 and still no jack. tried deleted jack's voice and updating webupdater but still no jack. any ideas?

I have a Garmin 1300, is it possible on this unit to set an alert distance for red light cameras or is it automatically set at 1/4 mile?

Have a C550 and the wires have spliced away from device that plugs into back of unit. approx 10 wires and i have no idea of the location of each wire to solder the wires to make cable usable once again. Any help?

I downloaded schools for my area southeast, converted it to TourGuide with sound alert(voice) distance set at 700 feet. Every thing worked great except that I was getting alerts every few miles because of (historical) schools. You might see a small bulding that at the turn of the century had been a school. What I wanted was actual schools where children might be present.

Just need a little help on removing the Red Lobster Garmin GPS Database file 116kb. I loaded this sometime ago and now want to remove it. I have had no success removing this from my Garmin 220w. I have used the poi loader several times uploading files back and forth many times and understand what it does. The Logo that shows this database file is the Mapsource Logo.
