Garmin talk

Not sure which Garmin models have "Map Themes" available but I found that changing this on mine (under SETTINGS, NAVIGATION, AUTOMOBILE, and then MAP THEME) had a huge impact on screen visibility. For those who can change their map themes, hope this helps summarize things a little. I couldn't find this anywhere on-line and it really does have a huge impact.

How do I load the Moose Lodges to my Garmin 50?

Hi all,

New guy here.

I just picked up a Garmin 1450 with lifetime Maps and Traffic. Updated the latest maps and everything ran well for a while.

About a week ago, the Green traffic button disappeared. I did a factory reset, and re updated the maps but nothing changed.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

I want to load the latest Europe City map but MYGARMIN tells me I do not have enough space.
Can I delete the existing maps on the 255w and how ?
thanks

Since I updated my Garmin to City Navigator NA 2013.20 I lost all of my lane assists. I still have junction views. Does anyone hhave any suggestions or have experienced a similar problem.

Hi..just created 8 routes for my trip out west.

Day 1.... send to GPS(Nuvi 465T)... Not there..

Day 2...Day 7 and so on... nowhere to be found.. I am confused as to why they are not showing up.

I have done this in the past and it worked..

What am I doing wrong

HI...getting ready to some traveling from the East Coast to CA.. So I have been asking a lot of questions today.

Using Mapsource on my PC to create my route to CA. This will entail many stops along the way via 75 to 10 to 20 back to 10 and to 8 to 15 etc.. Hope to use BW hotels as my stops..

I DL'd from the POIs the Best Western POI file to my GPS.

I would like to know how to create a POI for Garmin to be uploaded.

I am under the impression that you would need to create a CSV file. But how to you obtain the GPS coordinates for a large number of addresses?

Is there an easier method? Can you purchase software to convert an address to the GPS coordinates?

Is there a company that this can be outsourced to create the file?

Hi..I just DL the Best Western POI file to my PC..all good.

Then I wanted to upload to my 465T, it did but now I have an entry for each BW not a folder(so to speak).

What did I do wrong ?

Thanks..

My granddaughter just noticed something I hadn't seen. On the 3790 with 2013.10 maps, every once in a while something like a fog appears over an area of the map. It's gray and transparent of course. You can still see the map. She first saw it going down Highway 20 in Dubuque and it appeared every now and then on Highway 151 to Madison, Wi. The area is irregular in shape and causes no distortion.

Does anyone know what Canadian cities the Garmin Cyclops Safety Cameras work for? Also, how accurate are they?

I just activated the 30-day trial but won't be in most cities (aside from Toronto) before it expires. I don't want to blow money on something with inferior coverage.

Here is my problem. I was updating the latest map om my 3590LMT. It was at the section where it was loading map to computer. At that time we had a thunder storm rolling thru, shutting down my comuter, so the downloading stop. I disconected the GPS from the computer.

Anyone know if there is a minimum distance that can be set via POI Loader?

A few days ago -- BEFORE THE LATEST AP UPGRADE -- I was driving in Los Lunas, New Meico when a new icon popped up on my Dezl 560LMT. I had never seen it before -- it showed a little girl running, and was in a white window, similar to a TourGuide icon.

Sure enough, about a quarter-mile down the road, I encountered a school zone. I had no idea school zones were in this unit!

As current maps tend to grow beyond the internal memory capacity of various Nuvi models, they must be stored on an external SD card.
Do you suppose that the micro SD card on a Nuvi 1490 is continuously read while navigating? In other words, does the 1490 need to access the micro SD card in real time to retrieve map information during navigation?

My new 3590 turns off automatically after a few minutes while connected to my PC. The time before shutdown varies. It can be anywhere from 1 minute to 8 or 10 minutes. It doesn't matter how I connect it with the USB cable. I've tried it with the unit on and with it off.

After the upgrade last night, I had 70.5Mb free on my 660. I had taken out some of the voices and pictures, music....

I took out more tonight, and about 1/3 of the non-english help files.....

I do have a question about one file...

In the 660, in the MP3 directory, there is a 109Kb file named: Welcome to AudioLunchBox.mp3

Hello All,

First post. I searched a bit but still need a couple things cleared up.

Purchased a 2595LMT old unit was 780.

Driving to work using both I noticed the 2595 showed a Wendys as I was driving by, the 780 did not.

Sticking w/Wendys example, If I install the Wendys custom POI, what advantage is that over stock unit. Won't I have duplicates then?

I remember reading somewhere, the location of speed limit corrections in the Nuvi series. I can't find it now.

Just upgraded to 2013.20 and I want to delete what speed limit corrections I have put in in the past. Where are these files?

Thanks
