Garmin talk

Was unable to find the Cracker Barrel Discussion thread (is not indicated at the CSV download area).... Want to post an error we found in the CSV file...

We discovered that the address for Cracker Barrel #192 is correct, (1000 Hwy 80E Pooler, GA 31322) but the GPS Co-ordinates are Incorrect.... You go right past CB Restraunt on the way to the wrong location.....

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that all searches have two and sometimes three entries for the same Points of Interest? I have numerous gps's and everyone of them show the same thing. Also, I noticed that I now have a map that is called CN North America NT 2018.30 Parkopedia?

Hi:
I have a question regarding junction views that was not addressed in the "Garmin Junction view information link" here.

The information states > QUOTE

As a result, Garmin now offers basically three Junction View file types (xxxxxxxx.JCV file):

need some help have installed POIs with wav to my nuvi 2555lmt Only works when I use GPS simulator then have to hit go on the POI for it to play the wav when with in the distance I have it set for Hope someone can give me a hand on this I have used it before but been sometime ago might be my mind slipping away That I don't need thank you for your help

I have downloaded an Icon from the Icon Library and using "Paint Software" the size of this icon is 29 x 24 pixels, which is too small on my Nuvi 2689 screen.

When I resize to 48 x 40 pixels in Paint, the image looses some of its sharpness.

I am wondering which of the following *.bmp formates you you recommend to increase the clearity.

Mono Chrom BitMap
16 color BitMap

Driving back on several major highways today I started wondering what the range is for Traffic Alerts. Does anybody have any idea? Say in miles? No I didn't have any pop up yet. O yea, I'm new to modern GPS units having had a 650 for 10 years or so.

I also wonder who controls the alerts, the DOT for the State maybe?

I have two of same model GPS's.... 2689LMT....
I've updated all System files and Maps.
I went in and compared settings, and all settings are identical between the two units.
I've loaded POI's.... That's working....

One last Item.... Copied Current.GPX from my 2689, and pasted it in New 2689.....

Maybe it's time to let this one go. I've had my Dezl 560 LMT since 2011. That seems to be a long time in the world of GPS.

I had become so comfortable with it that I formed the habit of leaving it in the car all the time, and let it power up and down according to whether it was getting power from the external power cord or not.

Garmin Express v5.8.0.0 is available to download.

1 - When I try to use the POI Loader to install the POI .gpi files onto the SD card in my Nuvi 660 I get this error message. If I put the same card into the SD card reader connected to my desktop, the POI Loader will correctly write the .gpi files to the card.

Dear experts:

Facts:

* Garmin Nuvi 50 LM with OpenMapChest 2017.10.18
* Garmin Nuvi 57 with the same map
* Route tested: LAX Airport (CA) to San Luis Obispo City (CA)
* Same navigation preferences and avoidances in both GPS (faster time, U-Turns, Carpool Lanes, Unpaved Roads)
* Both GPS in simulation mode

Note: I originally sent this information to member jgermann because I thought it might be helpful to him in maintaining his "Release Date History For Garmin Maps" FAQ. I decided it may be of interest to the general membership, so I am adding this thread for discussion.

Good morning,

I know that Garmin added the built-in wifi to the following units:

Garmin DriveLuxe™ 51 LMT-S

Garmin DriveAssist™ 51 LMT-S

Garmin DriveSmart™ 61 LMT-S

Garmin DriveSmart™ 51 LMT-S

Is this a feature that is likely to come to lower priced Garmin units in the future or will this be available only on higher end units?

Just saw a garmin factory outlet ad here....

Brand New 2689LMT for $169.95 (just checked Free Shipping)
Is that a good price?

This way we'd both have identical GPS's.... and the Tired Old 660 could be retired....

I have a Garmin 1300lm and understand it may be possible to enable additional features such as junction view, speed limit indicator and lane assist for this unit. Does anyone have any current information or can point me in the right direction on making this possible? I performed the latest map update and downloaded the large junction view file that goes along with it hoping to use it.

The GPS Store has the Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S for $249.95 (new, not refurb). If you have been wanting one of these, this is a pretty good price.

I was looking around and found a Tour guide for Boston with Narratives that seems like a great idea! Does anyone know if any are available for Canada or other us States?

Does anyone have problems with alert settings I have Meters and KPH as the setting. I tried 1k, 2k, and even 10k also 500 meters I do not get alerts at expected distances and some do no show at all. Can anyone tell me when the alert is supposed to start or stop. I have an alert set to a POI and have driven past with nothing showing.

Hi,

Newbie to the forum so apologies if posting in the wrong place! I used to use TomTom products but as TomTom's newer products no longer support custom POIs I've switched to Garmin.
