Garmin talk

I recenlty bought a nuvi 50LM that I like very much, but I see there is only 1.76 GB of total space.

After installing the custom POIs there was only 137 MB of space left. I deleted a bunch of voices, help files and auto icons and it bumped up to 185 MB. I can delete a bit more buy I doubt it'll go much over 200 MB.

With lots of new members now on board I thought I would re-post this easy method for TourGuide.I got the information from the post listed and all the credit goes to Hornbyp for the information.

Outline for TourGuide alerts using express mode with csv files.
1.Tour Guides are not speed-related.
2.Minimum distance is ¼ mile the maximum is 1.25miles.
3.25 =1/4 mile and 124=1.25 miles.

Is it safe to say that the only way to change the address of a favorite once saved is to delete it and start over? After much searching, that is the conclusion with which I am left. Is there any other way anyone knows? Thanks.

I just switched from years of Magellan to a Garmin 2555 GPS. My biggest concern is the Garmin does not sound a beep at the exact moment that I should execute a turn. I thought that this was a great feature in the Magellan. Does anyone know of a way to make the Garmin do this???

Forgive me if this has been addressed before but I am about to leave for a road trip and my wife is telling me we are late so I don't have time to search.

I have not used the 350 for about 8-9 months. I pluged it in to the wall charger and instead of going into charging mode it showed as connected to the computer, however it did take a charge.

OK, I've had my Garmin Nuvi 1490LMT for over 2 weeks now and I've driven around my neighborhood a few times now testing POI Factory's Red Light & Speed Alerts. I've noticed a few red light cameras had been physically removed yet POI Factory indicates they're still there.

Recently it will put a destination and time in the green bar on top when I start the car and it turns on. I have no destination set. It most frequently will say " Home 5 min" or once "VIllage Inn 6 min" . I haven't told it to do anything. Am I missing a setting someplace?

Hello, I have a garmin 465LMT (465T) with lifetime maps and traffic receiver. It died on me two months past the two year extended warranty. I called garmin, they will exchange it for a refurb. unit for $110.00. I'm just wondering if it's worth it or if someone here knows where new ones can be purchased for a little bit more?

Yesterday morning, I took my wife to the emergency room at Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City, CA (broken wrist and thumb). My Garmin took me from south of town up US 101 and had me turn left on Burtschell St. After 1 block, I reached 41.76728,-124.19516, where I was to continue straight ahead (Check it in Google Earth or Maps).

The Garmin Nuvi 50 does have an SD memory card slot, just fyi. That is probably a no brainer, but I found it amusing that there were no diagrams in the manual labeling the parts of the unit, so I couldn't be sure. I read the full manual online and saw that it says the 50 does have the slot, but it isn't mentioned in the quick start guide.

On my nuvi250W I am unable to download a gpx file although I can download a csv file. I have used the Garmin updater, which did not help. Any suggestions?
Also, I am unable to download, to my computer, the latest version of POI Loader2.7.1. I have Windows 7, and I receive a message that states "This is an unsupported OS version. This application requires XP SP2, or greater".

Hi Everyone , Admin and other Hi ranking Members.

Changes made from version 6.60 to 7.10:

Fixed an error that caused the device to lock up and drain the battery when powered down.
Fixed an error that caused the device to periodically lose GPS signals.
Fixed an error that caused the device to shutdown when receiving traffic events from a GTM 60 cable.
Fixed several route-calculation errors.

Planning to clean up extra files and move whatever I can to my SDHC card.

I pretty much know which files can be deleted thanks to all the posts and links such as: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=c6483e8a197b8356&sc=documents...

Except there is no mention of folders such as tutorials, tracker, LEX_PKG, audible and probably some more in hidden system files.

I have the garmin 465 Lmt. I just got it and found this website. I downloaded the low clearance underpass custom poi. Now my location Is not right Something is wrong with my gps now Is there anyway to take off the pois? when I hit where am I it is telling me I'm somewhere I am not I did a master reset but that didn't do anything.

gpsdog For some reason my 1490lmt always opens up with my last driving position and have to await gps to reset to home.

1450T - New

Available for the next 9.5 hours only.

If you're looking for a new (not refurbished) unit this may be of interest.

Hi Everyone, Good day Admin and other Associates.

gpsdog: I just bought myself another Garmin, Gps 1490LMT.

I just spent several hours downloading the software to update a 755t and an 855. In both cases I received a warning that the device doesn't have enough memory to load the updated maps - the map selection(s) offered don't meet my needs so I'm forced to go without any updates.

Lifetime map updates?? I apparently got ripped off by Garmin again.

My first time playing with Google Maps.
Using Google Maps, I get directions between two addresses in different states (NY & PA). It offers three routes to take, none are ideal. I move the pointer and change the direction of the route to take highways I want. Everything works fine and the driving instructions clearly display the route I want.
