Garmin’s solution, no problem, send it back!

I bought a 755T in March this year. It had 3.8 on it, no problems. Updated it and got 3.9.You all know about 3.9 problems. I called Garmin, told them all the new problems since 3.9 update. No problem, just send it back, that is what Andrew said. So I did. In about a week I had a new 755T. (I now have 2 complete 7X5 accessories). First thing I did was to see what I had. It was 3.9!

POI Loader -> Mapquest. Where's the file?

I usually don't use Mapquest other than to load Topo maps on my Nuvi 260.
Today I decided to make a backup of my favorites using MQ.

After loading my latest custom POIs to the unit, I decided to see what they would look like on MQ, so I ran POI Loader again, but choosing the Mapquest option instead of my normal Custom Folder.

Transfer Route from MapSource to Nuvi 1450

Hi,

Alerts for HD Dealers

I have the HD Dealers POIs on my Zumo 550 and also put them into my Nuvi 1450, the Nuvi won't alert when I get close, I've reloaded them, I tried 5 miles even 2 miles but they won't alert until I've driven to them and then I have to be right on top of them. Any ideas?

Unable to open WebUpdater

I need help! This morning I can't open my WebUpdater, it prompted "unable to create a temporary folder to extract to." The same goes for my POILoader and USBDrive. I have Window Vista, using WinZip Self-Extractor. Please help. Thanks! ( I have no problem before )

How do I get my Garmin to take me on major highways?

I have a frustrating problem with my new Garmin 255W. It tries to direct me off the interstates and major highways onto backroads and smaller highways. I have changed the setting from "fastest" to "shortest" and back again and nothing seems to help. This is when I know where I'm going and the most direct way is the interstate. Please help!

Blutooth Update

I recently updated the file on my 265WT. This one was the most recent update that my webupdater found. It contained an update for the blutooth functionality. After the update my Motorolla pairing had to be redone as the preovious pairing was wiped out. Beware.

NUVI 255W Sound Alerts

I just purchased a NUVI 255W and downloaded various POIS.
Included for each POI was a .csv file, a BMP and a mp3 sound alert. I renamed each poi the same as the .csv file. The icon appears, but I never can get a sound aleret. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Editing the actual City Navigator map...?

Is there a way? There is a road I use everyday that is not included in even the latest update. I am afraid I already know the answer, but is there a way for me to edit the road into the map? I would even settle for routing to include this road based on the fact that I have traveled on it before, even if the road does not show up. Does any of that make sense?
