nuvi 7x0 firmware update v4.90 released October 5, 2009

Available via WebUpdater or direct firmware update download (at individual unit links below). Note that all 7x0 series units use the same firmware update file regardless of the model number so it does not really matter which file you download. I've included all links regardless.

Changes made from version 4.80 to 4.90:

Wondering if anyone out there has tried Topo maps with DEM and City Navigator together in their Nuvi. I saw just such a captured shot the other day when researching the newest Topo Canada maps. Really cool. If anyone has tried this on their Nuvi, how about posting a screen capture and giving details on installation etc. City Navigator with shading..... really nice.

Well ive read and tried to get a .bmp file to work with my relight POIs. Ive named the file exactly as the POIs with the .bmp but dosent show. I understand its suppose to be uploaded with my files when I do this but I must be missing something..any ideas

Does anyone know of any software that will let you merge all of your tracklogs together into one trip? For example when you go on a trip each time the unit is turned off it creates a new tracklog. How do you merge these all into 1 tracklog so you can generate stats on miles driving etc? Thank You

Just got back from Las Vegas, had a great time. While there we went to the Grand Canyon on a day trip. I had my GPS with me and it was able to bring me right to it. Going up Highway 64 I exceeded the spreed limit by 8 miles (he was going south and I was going north and was able to clock me and turn around and catch up to me in seconds).

So, my Zumo 550, which is only 1.5 years old has a problem. The power button came off. So much for waterproof. Of course, I'm told that it's no longer under warranty... therefore, get hit with the $150 generic repair charge to basically just replace the front plastic cover. Tried to just buy the cover and replace it myself... 8 simple screws hold it on.

Noticed some odd behavior from our 265W (as well as other drivers) driving to/from Baltimore on 295. There are a couple of known revenue enforcement hangouts near 695 that the unit reports as you approach when you're heading North into Baltimore, but when you're headed South coming home, it doesn't alert.

Has any one used it to update roads, poi, etc.

I am new to my Garmin 755t and have finally downloaded some POIs from the Factory (what a great resource!). It appears that they downloaded into the gps, at least the computer says they did, but I cannot find them. The gps directory says that there are 2 poi files of the approximate correct size on the gps. They are for state/national parks and rest areas.

When I go "Favorites" in "Where To", I have to scroll through dozens of locations to find the one I'm looking for - is there any way to establish sub-folders to make the search faster?

I read on Gary Hayman's site a notice that Mapquest had a beta software as of Oct 2009 that would not permit sending of waypoints in routes to a Garmin. I created a route this morning added waypoints, revised the route travel path and sent it to my Garmin. I am using a Garmin 7200 and it worked fine. Is this an issue only with Nuvi's?

I've just gownloaded the current POI Loader v 2.5.3 from the Garmin site, and run the install bit.

I cannont find any reference to the POI Loader file created by running the install. Any suggestions? How do I access the file to donload the POI's to my GPS?

Brand new factory sealed Garmin 885T for $199.02 plus $13.00 shipping fedex or UPS.
The place- "The Perfect Mart"
Anyone purchase from this company?
Would love to know if this is a legit company.
Seems like you have to have a cell phone for part of the confirmation process.

I just was told something to the effect that POI's and the distance you manually enter in POI Loader, are not based on a radius. Instead, they will only work by distance if you are on the exact road the POI happens to reside.

This has been flawless for the last year but now its loosing reception with the sateliites.. I can only connect to 2 or 3..I have the lastest updates and did a master reset...no help. Any ideas,,is this worth fixing or should I get another unit..which one?
Thanks,Tom

Can you download a trip that I am planning on goggle maps from my computer to my 205W.
