Garmin talk

Does garmin 1390 require wav files or MP3 for spoken alerts?

How can I stop the sound from playing over and over on alert? Have set the gps to one time but not to work. again thanks 4 help someday will tell some one a cure instead of asking for help all the time

The Pennsylvania Turnpike has put in a few slip ramps on and off the turnpike that are only for EZPASS users. They can be a great time saver. The trouble is that no Garmin map has the ramps or the option to use them. There has always been an Avoid Toll Road feature, what is needed is a Use Transponder-Only Ramps option.

I guess this is a simple question, but I would like to know for sure before I carry on trying to put custom sounds on my Nuvi 52. Does anyone know for sure that MP3 files in the POI folder work on this model? Thanks.

Edited: the original sale of one day only was on 11/27.
They now have it again on 12/2 for 1 day only but the price has increased by 1.00.

I have pretty much ran out of space on my device and will be downloading the update in the next few days. I haven't installed maps to a card yet so a couple of questions:

- can I use a 16 gig card

The Audio Mixer is accessed from the Master Volume screen by selecting the wrench in the upper left corner of the screen. I had expected this to change the treble or bass of the speaker, but if the Navigation bar is moved from its far right position it does nothing but reduce the volume. Has anyone experienced anything different? Or is this just another Garmin non-feature feature.

Has anyone found a way to change the Alarm Clock, alarm? It's..well, ok, I'll say it..alarming.

How do you get the voices for the red light and speed camera to work on the Zumo 390.

Today, first time I have seen School Zone notification on my Nuvi in Hamilton, Ontario. This must be part new maps 2014.3 update. Nothing in Toronto area yet.

If you just updated and got a lot of garbage, you might want to do a hard boot, Caution it will wipe out everything, but you have a new GPS. Then reinstall the maps and you are good to go. My email is prjones520@gmail.com. If I can help you please contact.

This really sounded interesting. What happened to it? Did anyone get a chance to use it?

This update reduced my free space in my 2555LMT by over 500MB?

Has anyone else noticed this?
I did a search for large files on the .system directory and saw that I have two sid files ...is this normal?
Are these files necessary? (259MB & 503MB)

I'm a little suspicious because the download with GE was interrupted and resumed 30 min later, apparently from where it stopped.

It has been a while (3 years) since I have loaded POI files onto my Nuvi 250. I downloaded the files, saved onto my computer, added a couple of sound files and renamed them to the name of the POI files and ran POI Loader from the Garmin site and all seems to work.

However no alerts showed up during my entire trip from Toronto to Detroit.

I see my work location show at random on the top of the View Map screen when no an active route, just turning the GPS on at home, etc. It shows as 'work: 35 min., no traffic.

Just wondering what that is all about, feature name, etc. tx

Here's my vote for using MU. Unbeknownst to me, my USB cable has apparently gotten flaky. After downloading the map and beginning the install, a fly buzzed the cable and apparently moved it enough to disconnect. I went through several cycles of killing the unsafe disconnect messages and rebooting the GPS before I changed the cable.

As some of you have found out, EPE is not working anymore. In fact, only the maps are not working.

Reason:

This is due to the Google Maps API v2 being deprecated. Only v3 is supported from now on. All scripts must be converted using a totally different API.

Workarounds:

Firmware update for the stand-alone GPSr Garmin GLO gives it the ability to connect to up to 4 tablet/smartphones simultaneously to share the positioning data to apps... sounds kinda cool.

I didn't want to post this in a "necro thread" (Juggernaut).

So I installed the 2014.30 map last night, per "alandb's" instructions.Then put on the other usb cable to charge overnight.
