Garmin talk

I have a 885t and just got off the phone with Garmin tech support.

They are having a problem with the update showing as being available on the 8xx series Nuvi's.

They are aware of it and are working on a fix that they thought would happen very quickly.

I haven't seen any other posts on this so I don't know if it is a chronic problem but I was happy when Garmin released version 4.80 for the nuvi line which finally fixed the problem with an alert causing the mp3 player to skip to a new track. The problem is that with Garmin's newly released version 4.90, the skipping problem is back - at least on my unit.

Good news?

Garmin's City Navigator NA NT is now available, but only proloaded on SD cards, not the map update download that most of us want.

Here's the link to the SD card:

Even better, here's the link to the interactive 2011.10 map so you can check to see if revisions you're hoping to see have arrived!

I just bought a 1350T. Does this model support .wav or .mp3 or both?

Hi,
New guy here w/question. How would one create a .wav file that contains both sound and voice? Thanks..

My old unit, nuvi 200 gave upcoming cross street for almost every street, which I found it rather useful. The upcoming cross street label pops right up above the street I'm approaching as well as the top bar.

When I got a nuvi 205, I learned that even though its processor is faster, has twice as much memory (2GB vs 1GB) and speed limit indicator, it won't show every upcoming cross street.

Hi i just buy 755t garmin. i was wonder how can i add custom poi, icon, sound?

A software update is available for nuvi 1490T..

From Gizmag newsletter:

Garmin announces nüvi 3700 series personal navigators

I downloaded software version 4.90 to my garmin nuvi 650 and now i have no voices. how do i roll back the version.

I'm looking to update some POI on my new Nuvi 1490T I picked up yesterday. I have limited experience with GPSs, as I typically get along very well without them, but I figured I'd give them a try...so I hope this isn't too rudimentary of a question.

I've generated an OpenStreetMap gmapsupp.img file of an Asian city at http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php. If I drop the file in the internal 1490T drive in either \.System, or \Garmin, the unit does not see the map, i.e. it is not on the maps list. However, if I drop the file on the SD card in \Garmin, the unit sees the map, and when selected it works like a charm (as expected).

Ok, I now dloaded the file Sox for the Sound and put it into the POILoader file. Now when I click on a Sound that I want all it does is Play, it does not ask me where to put the wav. All it does is just play. Whats up? I am doing something incorrect? Thanks again, Steve

Hi, I just purchased a 265WT which so far works great. I did have a TomTom which was pretty old. Now I have a nicer GPS unit and it has the same features as my old TomTom had. One of the problems that I am having is getting my POI to sound a alert when I am approaching. Is this a feature on the 265WT that I can go to, or it is just impossible to do with the 265. Thanks Steve....

This might be a rumour, a friend told me that he got NA 2011.10 map update from garmin, anybody know if this is true ?.

I purchased a 1490T at Costco ($249.99) and it came loaded with version 3.60. I upgraded to 3.90 and it is working without any problems traffic or otherwise, to date. I have a 765T and have been waiting for over a month to have Garmin fix the traffic reception problem caused by 3.90 on the 765T. I am told by my Garmin contact that the engineers are working on it.

I have loaded a Red Light Camera alert on my 265wt and nothing happens except two (2) bells when approaching a Red Light Camera. I have change the mp3 name to look just like the CSV file except for the MP3 extension.

Does the 265wt support a mp3 sound?

Wow does this unit ever look great! Slim sleek design! I want one!

When Garmin sends out a map update, does it include updates to the built in POIs that come with the unit?

A bit unrelated to POIs however I currently have a Quest 2 and am able to create routes and send them to the device. I use this for motorcycle rides. I'm going to be upgrading to a Nuvi however when doing comparisons on products at Garmin's website all of the units under $250 say "Routes: 0" Does that mean you can't create a custom route and send to the device?
