Garmin talk

Can anyone explain/verify why TourGuides work consistently on my 680 and Zumo 660, but not on my 3760T?

This is certainly weird. One would think these units would calculate the same distance with rlc files. When I first got my 3790LMT I had to figure out what distance I would set the warnings at. That took a while but

Hello everyone, new to the forums. I have upgraded the maps on my nuvi 2555lmt since I have lifetime upgrades. My question is, can I extract the updated poi file from the 2555 and move it over to my wife's nuvi 1490?

Garmin has finally just released an update for the Nuvi 24xx line. This fixes numerous bugs - AT LAST!!

I've been having problem with the gps mount coming loose from the bean bag mount I have been using for a few years. I have a Garmin Nuive 1495. I think part of the problem is the power cord connects at and angle so the cord is forced down towards the mount. I am using the mount that came with the GPS, and forget which bean bag. Anyone have a recommendation for a better mount or bean bag?

Yeah. There is a new Jill (3.10). She appears to work with EPE. Recalculating is gone again.

I have lifetime updates but last week during the update the windows update arrived and shut my computer off in the process. Now I can't update as it always exits before its done and says call garmin if this continues. I checked and do not have a large map file but have 1.4 gig of space available on the gps.

new questions based on trying to update latest maps and finding 'not enough memory' for the full North American set.

Questions:

1) what is full size of complete NA map set?

2) what is internal memory size on nuvi 750

3) can entire or partial map set (i.e. overflow beyond capacity of internal memory) be put on SD memory cards

The 'Min' in GarMIN is stepping down...

I own a Nuvi 1200. Lately I've noticed map updates include files such as:

SRX-ASR
D2329110A.G2S
D3060080A.JCV
D3191070A.JCV.Portrait
D3153080A.JCV.Lite
DB.trafficTrends
SQLite D315600.DB.trafficTrends2
Time Zone

Question: Are these compatible with the 1200?

What are these files used for?

Tnx.

Groupon has a truckers/big rig nuvi on sale today for $119 with free S&H:

As I read the ad, it appears to be for new, not refurbed nuvis, and offers the ability to make returns if desired.

I have a Nuvi 1690, that is the one that comes with a cellular data connection.

It has an icon for google local and for whitepages.com. That is somewhat useful.

It's good, but pretty glitchy. I cannot recommend this unit because of the problems it has.

I am running Windows XP SP3. I have several times downloaded the installer. When I run the installer, I get the following error:
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
I have replaced C++ 2008 with the C++ 2010. I have dumped AVG 2012 for 2013. Does anyone have any ideas?

On a recent trip, quite often my dislplay started showing white, ie no map, as I
traveled. Sometimes it would redraw successfully but some times it would get
'stuck' with a white screen and show the 'drawing' info at the top. It was as if I was travelling beyond any map info, ie white display.

Also, several times when I came to a turn, the system would freeze. My speed

This is a great GPS except for one fatal flaw.

Custom POI files are not usable. The manual says that they work just like they are expected to on other Garmin units.

These are the instructions in the manual:
1. Select Where to?>Categories>Custom POIs
2. Select category

We bought an 07 Volvo as a certified pre-owned vehicle in 2010 and I got my wife the dealer installed Garmin unit for it. It makes for a pretty clean and safe install, but the power hookup is not the standard USB that my 2455 has.

Hello out there.. Happy Sunday. Considering a purchase of a new Garmin..

IMHO: It appears the DEZL & Zumo are very upscaled GPS's.. ?

Considering 2595LMT, 2555LMT..

Will be used in a AUTO for day to day travel. I do NOT have a truck or RV/MH.

SPECS..
1) Lifetime Maps Traffic
2) Bluetooth compliant
3) screen 5 - 7
4) TTS - clear understandable (i have old ears)
5) SD card

I accidentally downloaded the campground POI file twice.
Now when I run all POI the campgrounds show up twice in alphabetical order. Can I delete one set of campground POI?

I am sure this is wasting a lot of memory.
Is there anywhere you can find how much memory is not in use on your unit?
