Garmin talk

Hello All,

Was hoping someone could help as I am new to managing POIs. I have subscribed and downloaded the camera and speed cam POI files and wanted to know how they get activated on my Garmin for use. I have installed them into the device using the POI loader and wanted to confirm how I will now see them.

POI LOADER

Every time I attempt to load POIs to the unit I get this notice "folder invalid click Browse to choose a new folder to continue"

No file is accepted. Please advise.

Has been uploaded onto their servers meaning it should be released for download within the next 2 weeks or so.

The last map update I did (2013.04) on my 750 installed Garmin Express. It has been complaining ever since that I need to allow it to download and install 2013.04. I finally broke down and allowed the installation. It appeared to go off without a hitch.

Here's the url from Best Buy for a Garmin Carrying Case for $2.00 + free shipping for those who don't have a case to protect a unit and might be interested in one. I just ordered one for a previously owned Nuvi 360 that I purchased without a case.

Was on a trip earlier today when a friends garmin was started only to ask press here showing an x and y axis line on a small circle. After its pressed the point moves and asks to press again. After 12 or so I thought the system was faulty and looked to power off reset the unit. Starting the process all over. After about 15 calibration point entries it finally said calibration complete.

Hello All,

I am throwing this out there because I have noticed a correlation between failed firmware updates on units with a large trip log.

I've seen this problem happen several times to myself as well as to my customers. I've seen it on the 14xx units but I feel that it could happen to other models as well.

I have had my Garmin 2495LMT for less than three months and I am experiencing problems with the speaker. Most of the time it will work fine but other times I get a garbled voice and sometimes I get no sound at all; not even a ding when I turn it on.

Or is it just me?
Had been getting a "site is down for maintenance" for quite some time now, when trying to update maps.

We already have a post for the 25x5’s. I decided to start this one because I think we have the same issues. I have some posts in there.

I did a search and couldn't find anything on this so I thought it's be good to post. I just had a major headache trying to update the maps & software on a Nuvi 1450 with lifetime maps. Neither webupdater nor the new Garmin Express would even recognize the unit after connecting ot to the computer. Windows Explorer was able to search the device with no problem.

I can't install the audio alert file from MacBook Pro to my new nuvi 3580.
Can you help me?
I included the "sox" for Mac in the POI file directory and it does't works.

Slavek

I was searching for Apple Valley Medical this morning on my Garmin Nuvi, but it did NOT show up. Finally, I found a completely different POI near there and then searced for all POIs nearby. I was somewhat surprised to see the Garmin Nuvi display:

Pple Valley Medical Clinic
14655 Galaxie Ave
Apple Valley, MN 55124
952-432-6161

my scren is frozen on my 3590 garmin. I tried shutting it down but is does not work. Any suggestions?

Got a tracking number today that my 3597lmt has shipped. It will be here monday.

Although there are files on my 650 Garmin, they do not appear when I open Basecamp with GPS attached to my Mac?

I am considering buying an additional Garmin Nuvi. I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 now, but I am considering either a Garmin Nuvi 360 or Nuvi 370. When I do the online comparison, it looks like there are a few differences between the Nuvi 350, 360, and 370. What most interests me at the moment is the:

-High-Sensitivity Receiver:

-Bluetooth Wireless Technology:

Several weeks ago, someone was asking for a unique sound and/or icon for every entry in a POI file. That got me to thinking how that might be done.

Not that this is something one would want to do routinely,but is it possible? The answer is yes.

The answer is .gpx.

I have a 3790T Garmin. The other day it fell off the windshield and I went to grab it and it fell on the dash. Now the left half of the screen is not working. I have done everything Garmin told me to do to recalibrate the screen and it is not working. I even did the hard reset and still nothing. Any ideas?
