Garmin talk

Last night I was updating some POI files and I wanted to load them onto my 50LM. I had a POI file for Qdoba restaurants already on the device but had made some changes to the csv file in Excel and wanted to load the updated version. When I ran Garmin's POI Loader program, I came to the step where you have two options and the software says something like "1) Load or replace a custom POI file.

Moderator, can you set this thread up to be a poll allowing users to vote their preference between Mapsource & Basecamp?
I'm thinking that Garmin would be interested in the results.

I just updated my 3590 to 2013.2. The new JCV file is smaller than its predecessor.
D3191060A.JCV 449.0MB for 2013.2
D3191050A.JCV 449.2MB for 2013.1

I have a new Montana and I am trying to copy my address book from my Nuvi to the Montana . So I copy and rename my "current.gpx" from the nuvi and put it in the gpx folder on my Montana but they all go to the waypoints and not the address book ANY ideas????

For any one needing the the large, non split screen view, JCV file it's available at:

Does anyone know if you can convert the POI.GPI file on a sd card into a GPX or cvs file so that i canedit some errors?

City Navigator North America 2013.20 is available as of a few minutes ago. I'm downloading it as we speak.

Hi, I just found this site and am excited to add POI's since the existing ones are so lacking. I would guess 50% of the places I look for are not in the database. Question; if I download, say a file of POI listings of Holiday Inns, does it override any existing ones or will it duplicate them? Appreciate any help or tips! Thanks!

This may be a stupid question but how do I access the SD memory card in my Nuvi 765t from my computer.

I have some pictures on the card that I would like to transfer to my computer. I plugged in my Nuvi and have the file open but cannot find a file for the card or anything that shows where the pictures are stored.
thanks.

I cant read GPX files. How can I change the POI to CVS. I have a PC Windows 7

Thanks for the info. I'll try that. Why can't the files be in CVS or TOM TOM not GPX (royal pain) I need to download all the truckstops Love, TA, etc. but it only in GPX file.

Is the traffic recieved with the GTM 60 much better than than the 3d traffic? I have a 2595lmt with 3d traffic and am considering geting the GTM 60 Antenea which will give me the 3d digital traffic. wondering if it is worth the $ 70.00?

While I was driving home tonight, my Garmin Nuvi 350 starting displaying erratic readings. I attempted to re-boot it, but now I get a "blue screen of death." Anyway, I will contact Garmin in the morning, but I am just wondering with a unit this old if Garmin will still repair it for a price or will they not even repair something this old?

I've been registering & setting up a new 3590LMT w/no glitches until I tried to download some routes to it from Mapsource.

My Mapsource v6.16.3 can't find it. I've downloaded the latest USB drivers along with the Garmin Communicator program but to no avail. Mapsource recognizes and communicates with my 850 and Quest units just fine, but I can't get it to connect with the 3590.

Hi, what area are traffic report cover for the garmin 1390lmt gps?

I installed the restareas POI with voice and symbol on my NUVI 3590 just as I did on my ZUMO 550, which works perfectly.

Hi,

I've been using my nuvi 1390 for a few months locally and have had no issues.

This a.m. I went to load in an address 1200 miles away for a trip I am going to be taking next week and the nuvi defaults to a similiar address but in a zip code about 90 miles away from my current location. When I punch in the zip code for my destination it says no matches found.

greetings fellow memebers: I had a hard week at work, waking up to different starting hours.You know what makes my day.......Those poi jokes, really great and humourous. I love them keep it up.Sure makes my day to releive stress.

This is my third garmin (660,1490T,2460LMT).Disabled eco-route, my trends,traffic trends also bluetooth (don't use it and command voice). Wanted to use it with pure GPS mode without it "thinking around me". I have to say its been superb at routing, local and far. Recalculations are almost instant. Calculating is quite quick, I'm impressed so far(2 months). 660 was a good unit and still is.

I have owned a Garmin nuvi 50LM for about 10 days (purchased it for a vacation) and we are 3 states away from home and it keeps freezing on the screen that shows Garmin. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kari

I love the text-to-speech on our 50LM, but emphasis on the syllables and street abbreviations are often amusing. Here's a couple of good ones that we've noticed in our travels...

Mitsubishi Motorway is abbreviated on the map as Mtwy. Our Garmin pronounces this as "Mistubishi Mih-TWY". Has no problem with the word Mitsubishi.
