Garmin talk

one of the biggest annoyances of my Nuvi 765 is that the maps and directions insist on referring to roads with their local names (e.g., "Main St.") instead of their route number (i.e., "Route 17"). a road with a number is very likely to be signed that way, and if i'm using a paper map along with the GPS, it's more likely to have the route number than the street name.

I've been working on some new POIs for my Florida Trailheads POI file. But before I download them here, I want to test them out on my car GPS (a Kenwood DNX710EX powered by Garmin). I've noticed that if I use the search function and the name of the specific POI is over a certain length, it reboots my GPS.

Can anyone tell me which Nuvi models have the Custom Avoidance feature where you can specify an area or a particular section of road to avoid when building a route.
My Nuvi 855 has this feature but it is not documented anywhere. And I don't see it in any of the specs for any other Nuvi.

Hi all - I'm a long-time lurker on this forum who's just registered. Having found much wisdom here over the years (thanks, Dorkus Nimrod!) to guide previous buying decisions, I'm looking for a bit of advice.

My Nuvi 760 was my daily companion for the last 4 years. I decided it was time to upgrade, so selected a 2460LMT based on the following criteria:

I just signed for the POI and Speed camera downloads, and after finishing my Garmin shows several files Poi, Poi1 etc. Will it automatically use the newest ones or do I have to delete the old ones?

Same with Speed cameras?

Thanks

what is the latest US map version that is smaller than 1.6GB? I wanna find the map to replace the map in the internal memory of my garmin device. The latest map 2013.30 is too big for it.

MY GARMIN 465T MAY HAVE CRASHED??? IT WON'T LOOK UP ANY ADDRESS'S. SOME FEATURES WORK AND SOME DONT.
CAN I RELOAD THE MAPS FROM GARMIN.COM??? iT'S ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND MAYBE THATS ALL I GET OUT OF A GARMIN, IDONT KNOW.

I was driving on the Long Island Expressway when my 765t dinged and a message flashed on the screen, "That feature not available", and it had to be selected to remove the message from the screen.. Anyone ever have that message pop up, or know what caused it.. The only poi file I was using was the red light camera csv from this site.. Wierd, never happened before..

What will this mean for the next generation GPS models?

You Decide!...

What's the best way to get the latest camera POIs loaded onto the headunit and then to keep it current? Trying to establish a process to make this as easy as possible.

Thanks.

Here where I live the lane assist is totally messed up on the newest map (2013.30) and I'd like to go back to 2013.20.

Garmin Lifetime Updater offers as only option to re-install the same (newest) map!

I curious about the GTM information showing up on my 3590.

I see 3 NAVTEQ subscriptions showing up as well as one for TTN. The TTN I added because NAVTEQ reporting is so poor.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 1300. I love it, well until a bit ago. I was trying to upgrade the maps and messed it up somehow. Totally my fault. Now it says there is a map upgrade, but it refuses to apply it. I have tried to contact Garmin via e-mail and we are just frustrating each other.

Some four years after the last update, the 2xxW series got a firmware update. And here I am thinking they were never going to update this thing again.

nuvi 2xxW software version 4.10
as of November 26, 2012

Changes made from version 4.00 to 4.10:
*Added support for a second map on an SD card.

FYI ... just saw this today.

I apologize up front if these details have been covered.

On a 1490LMT...

When I updated the map to 2013.30, did the large junction file (700Mb that everyone talks about it)get updated automatically or not? Some say yes, others no...I looked inside the unit folders and could only find a small 44Mb JCV file

If it doesn't, how does one get the file?

Hi all,

I was trying to update my 1450 today and I received message that I needed to purchase maps.

This was supposed to have the lifetime maps.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I gots myself a new 3590lmt. Gotta do a back up of it...but
its not showing all the files. I plug in my 3790LMT and it shows all the files. Folder options are set correctly to view hidden files and system files. I never change that.
So where's the .System directory?
