Garmin talk

I know this has probably been talked about before at some point but I was curious to find out if I had taken a snap shot of my entire device via Mass Storage Mode (hidden files and all) awhile ago and then re-uploaded it back to the device which has newer firmware and newer map sets, would that in turn put back the old firmware along with the old map sets?

I have a 2597 and red light camera alerts work just fine. Now I want school zone alerts to work. I dl a school csv file and named a wav and bmp file the same as the school file yet no alerts show when approaching a school. I can find the schools under custop poi but how do I get the alerts to sound??
Thanks

I have an 855 with current North American maps. I also have a Garmin nuvi 255T we bought in Germany. I have deleted all the gmappprom.gma .img .unl and .sum files from the 255 and copied in these same files from the 855.

On long trips I'll often mute the guidance voice, but I still want to hear POI alert tones. Anyone know of a way to still get the turn by turn guidance (no voice), and still revieve POI alerts sounds?

This was a fun replacement and definitely needed for my old 370.
Don't be afraid to try this one and instructions can be found on the web.
Be very careful though when pulling the 370 apart. I dislodged the wire ribbons that connect to the screen. They were a challenge to replace and I broke one of the clasps that lock the ribbon down.

Hi, if want to share some of my favorite files with a garmin 50 can it be done and how would I do it, I tried putting them on the micro sd but the garmin 50 did not respond to it, hope it can be done hope you can help Thanks!

Does anyone know how to restore the NTTS file back to the NUVI 465T? I deleted this file via my computer and I'd like to restore this file.
Thanks

I have a 885 Garmin right now and I'm thinking of upgrading. What I need most is Lifetime Traffic and maps also I need a gps to show the street I'm coming up to at the top of the map. My 885 does not do this my old 660 does and a big screen. can anybody help me with this?

my gps 1490t frozen when I do my update

If I cut everything out of the GPX file and paste it in a folder on my computer. That should remove all from my nuvi2555 unite shouldn't it????? I have tried to remove the DATA by doing what gamin says holding pressure on the lower right hand corner and turning on the unit . But all that does is bring up all my passed things into the saved on the unit.

I have a couple of questions about my new NUVI 2555

1. How do I get my favorites from my old Zumo 550???

2. Is there anyway to turn off automatic recalculations?

Thanks

Mike

Hi everybody,

am trying to put a trip in my nuvi2555 using google map . Was doing good for a while then it stopped taking anything. shows on computer that is going but when checking gps it is not there any help would be greatly appreciated

I looked through the GARMIN FAQ list and did not see anything
covering traffic - so I tried to summarize the subject with
a set of questions and answers.

Please have a look at what I wrote - I'm sure it is incomplete in some areas so feel free to add to it. When it passes
inspection by all of you it could be added to the FAQ list
that the poi-factory has today.

recently purchased a garmin unit that comes with RealView Junction view. However I am yet to see an junctions appear so far on roads in New Jersey. Anybody with similar experience?

Anyone know the filename or a download link for the 2014.20 NA split screen JCV (US & Canada) so I can try downloading it?

When adding a poi with the loader all previously loaded pois are removed so you would have to reload everyone that you had, please let me know if this is right, also in manual mode do you set both speed and distance I have a 2360 and haven't yet succeeded in having this work right.
I have been emptying the poi file on the gps on the computer and restarting the process each time.

Okay, so this happened to me over a year ago, but I'm just now going to ask about it. I was hoping it would fix itself or SOMETHING, but nothing has happened.
