4.3” vs. 5” Junction View
Hi Guys,
I just bought a 3790LMT (4.3” 800 x 480 pixels) and I find the screen to be very clear and sharp. I notice when the GPS goes into split screen before exiting, I find it a little difficult to read the Exit Signs.
Now I’m considering retuning the unit and buying the 2595LMT (5” 480 x 272 pixels).

Waypoint Categories or Lists and Basecamp
This may be old news to the pros out there but I bought a Nuvi 2555 LMT and whent to use Mapsource to program it. Spent three days playing and testing and will share this with you:
#1: Mapsource will not recognize new Nuvi's. You must use Base Camp.
2. You can move waypoint list from Mapsource to an old Nuvi (mine is a 255W) or or ohter mapsource compatible GPS then load to Base Camp.

Simulating a route on a 2595?
I'm stuck.
I disabled the Junction View file on my new 2595 (because I don't like JV) and wanted simulate a route through a local interchange so I can confirm the file has been disabled and doesn't mess up the map display.

All of a sudden, when I powered my NUVI 40 on, all I get is the "GARMIN" and the blue triangle. Won't hard reset, and my PC does not find it.

Oregon software ver 5.80 now available for 450 series
No problems installing 5.80 from ver 5.50 directly from my garmin dashboard. Will see later this week if it addresses many of the usability issues (such as tracback, intelligent navigating from imported tracks etc)

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2555LMT. I am trying to create a route in MapSource, or Basecamp to import into the GPSr. Can the 2555LMT import routes from the computer?

Nuvi 750 failing need help nuvi 3550lm
My nuvi 750 is not working correctly. After start up you can only touch the sceen about 3 or 4 times and it locks up. No more touches of the screen do anything. Unplug and no stay on/turn off message comes up, just shuts off. I did get it to find a location but as soon as "jill" told me where to go that's all just froze. Any ideas?

Micro SD card file format for 1490T
I am posting the following information so that it may benefit anyone that may need to organize their map data on a MicroSD card. This information was based on trial and error in addition to posts from this and other GPS user group sites. I do not claim to understand or know about any established or "official" file structure rules, but can attest that the following does work with my 1490T.

Garmin does not show all available traffic info
Hello,
Looking at live traffic at Navteq, I see the following picture:
http://i49.tinypic.com/29w0svo.png
Then on my Garmin 765t with working Navteq traffic subscription, and with traffic icon on the screen, I create directions that go through the streets that on the image above are yellow, those in the triangle in the center (Milwaukee - Harlem - Oakton)

Nuvi 750 Favorites
As a geocacher I download cache page information (and coordinates) from the geocaching.com site to my Nuvi 750. After downloading the information ends up in the GPX folder in the nuvi. So far so good. I understand that these GPX files then end up being displayed as "Favorites" in the Nuvi. However some of the GPX files stored in the Nuvi are not displayed on the "Favorites" menu.
