Garmin talk

No cameras on I-235,Windsor Heights, IA is told
The Iowa Department of Transportation wants the Des Moines suburb to try ramp metering or speed displays instead of speed cameras. The city will appeal.

Hi
I just got a Garmin 2595, possible to retrieve all the POI from my old C530 and download them onto my 2595?

Thank you
Thierry

Capital One bought Chevy Chase Bank in 2009 and changed all branch branding in 2010 (I think). But searching for Capital One bank in the Garmin yields nada.

I have talked to a bank employee who claims to have worked for Garmin and he told me Navteq provides the POIs.

I heard on the local television news that a community in Maryland is trying to get approval to install a STOP SIGN camera.

I didn't even know they exist.

If these start popping up it will be something for poi-factory, garmin, etc.. to start including.

Prepare to come to a full complete stop, then wait 10 seconds to make sure the camera sees that you are stopped.

ugh

What may be the reason for that can not see my custom POI's in my GPs Nuvi 2555, when I make the simulation and I'm on the road only a small black box, are not the logos. Someone can help me? So I download the security cameras and follow all installation instructions to the GPS and then can not find them.

For the past one month I struggled to solve the problem of my Garmin GPS 750 going in to data mode ( Computer icon popping up) when ever I used to connect the mini USB charging unit---whether I connect to the Laptop OR in the car.
The solution is simple.
1. Connect the GPS to the charger---let the Computer Icon pop up.
2. Now disconnect the charger from the GPS.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2360, software version 3.60, GPS Firmware 2.70.
Using POILoader 2.7.1.0, and SOX 14.0.1

I'm simulating my testing several POIs by setting 'location 1' and 'location 2' about 0.2 mi either side of the POI I want to test.

OK, when I test my 'My_Home' bmp, csv and wav and simulate a drive by it work fine.

My Nuvi 2350LMT doesn't hold a charge. I use an optional AC charge cable to charge it, leave the unit connected for 5 or 6 hours to get the job done, turn it off, then store it a closet where the temperatures are well within Garmin's acceptable range. Two weeks later I find the unit dead as a doornail.

Garmin Fenix: Is this the product you've been waiting for?

Will this one be on your Christmas list?

Greetings Fellow Members: Is there a way to change a Route when viewing in Simulation mode to, another, if I dont like the present. My Nuvi 1490 Lmt seem to prefer a hard way,

If you decide to skip the latest map update 2013.20 and then up date when 2013.40 comes out would you have to update 2013.20 before you go to 2013.40?

I ask because someone once posted they had skipped updates for a year then had to go back and update the skipped over updates before they could just update with the latest.

Forum Master: To all my other replyers I do feverently appologise to everyone for Our Postings that has gone off tangent.I merely compared my units with all other units as a guide and it seem to have gone AWOL.Please forgive if I may have started a honest conversation and was misrepresented.I will be the bigger guy and appologise.I guess funny answers maybe deserved to be from questions misappropr

Hi Everyone, Im not the bearer of bad news, just a guy who brings you the bumps in the gps roads.I journeyed to the dentist 17 miles away, and my unit sent me in widespread tarffic areas, only to reach my destination entering the backstreets.My tomtom xxl 540 was so spot on and simple straightforward.I know i can erform a detour on my streetpilot if i dont like the route.

Hi All,
Just thought people may be interested in a deal on the Nuvi 3790LMT. It is a factory refurb unit offered by Walmart.com

I purchased one new, then purchased the refurb from WM for my wife.

My Garmin nuvi 785t was operating great. I was using with my car adapter. It failed to start last week All I got was the logo screen and go to the map loading and when it finished loading the screen went blank. What is wrong. The battery is charged and I did not have it on security lock.

I was out running errands today with my 3590LMT. I don't know what happen, but my gps was acting kind of funny. My dashboard wasn't showing what I had input into it. My VC commond was working. After I got home I checked everything and recovered my VC and dashboard. But now I have lost my Search Tools. When I use search it give me a msg "Map data in not available} (or no data available)

I just came back from Rockville, MD From 495 I headed north on I95 and around Beltsville I see Route 200 Toll Rd. To 29. It's open and it does look new but I would think the latest Garmin map would show it but it doesn't.
Anyone know how long that road has been there?

Hi all

I have a garmin nuvi 710, it has a good database of speed cameras.
How do i set up a poi for a mobile camera site
I want the poi to have voice alert and icon.

I believe i will need a gpx file plus a bmp file plus an mp3 (voice alert file) if this is so how do i combine the files into a poi.

I have a Nuvi 255w and just started using POIs. My question is: What format should I save sound files; wav or mp3?
