Garmin talk

Just got a 2460lmt and updated maps (2013.10). Noticed that the JCV files were about 445mb not the 775mb size when I updated my 1490t/sd card (stand alone file) to 2013.10. I certainly have room for them or does the update act differently with the 2460lmt. I'm showing lots of junction views on the 2460 but can't figure out the diffence in JCV file size.What don't I understand?

Don't know if this is the right forum but I have always edited the Garmin American Jill voice but the last update looks like a bunch of greek letters in the TTS voice editor including v290. Maybe Turbocc could look at this.

I have a Nuvi 2450.

I have two trips on the 2450 that I want to put on my computer and work on them in Mapsource.

The only way I have been able to find these two files on my 2450 is to show all files and under system there is a folder called "Trip" The two files are in number format with an extention ".trip"

garmin 2595 shows wrong zip code for my work address... What is the best way to correct it in my device and inform Garmin about the issue?

In my garmin acct I have a map upgrade that I haven't downloaded.

I think they usually release new ones in August, about a month away.

Should I wait for that, or will it be taken away, or what? I have been having some weirdness and I was going to plug the unit in and let it update it's software if it wants too.

But there is that upgrade, waiting.

What should I do?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 that I might want to get an after-market windshield mount for. Because I am using an Argent Data cable in the side mini USB, I need to continue using a powered cradle. Anyway, does anybody happen to know if any company makes an after market mount that is compatible with the existing Garmin powered cradle?

I've downloaded several POI's. I driven by many of these places that I have downloaded and the place is not showing up on the map. What am I doing wrong?

I have a used Garmin Nuvi 350 that I bought this spring. I was looking at the Garmin website and it lists the GTM 10 FM Traffic Message Channel (TMC) traffic receiver as being compatible. However, the online manual refers to the GTM 12 traffic receiver. Can either one of these be used? Or is this an issue where the GTM 10 was replaced by the GTM 12?

Hi... I have both a 255w & 465T...

SAQ's

The FM Traffic Receiver w/ 12/24 Volt Power Cable must be used with the 465T in order to p/u traffic ?

Can I also use the 255W cable and get FM Traffic on the 465T. ???

If I use the FM Traffic Receiver w/ 12/24 Volt Power Cable on the 255W will I get Traffic info ?

Changes made from version 6.30 to 6.60:

*Fixed an issue with 2D landmarks not displaying by default for some locales.

*Fixed an issue with backwards Arabic map labels.

Didn't fix the POI Sub Catagory Problem

I own a Nuvi 680 na and had purchased the lifetime map updates for North America. The most recent map update for all of North America exceeded the internal memory available.

Hi..We were RV'ing around the country and have numerous POI's I DL from here. Under CUSTOM POI's.. We are no longer RVing and would like to remove all the custom poi's which no longer are needed.

Can someone please point me in the right direction..

Thanks

I upgraded my Nuvi 750 to a 2555 LMT. Since the 2555 only had one voice, I transferred my favorite voice from the 750 to the 2555. It works except she won't say, "Recalculating" any more. I only did it a couple of days ago so I'm not sure what else is missing but she says street names when I tested it.

I’ve been trying to spend some time with BaseCamp and MapInstall to learn their capabilities. I’m having an odd issue with MapInstall that is preventing me from adding maps to my new 1450LMT. My initial map update (to 2013.10) included just the lower 49 US states.

I purchased and installed Roadside America's custom POIs through "Spot It On" on both my Garmin 1390 and 1490 units. They functioned normally for some time, but now the 1490 does not see them in the Extras. I can see my other custom POIs and they all work. I can see all 3 files on both units and the Roadside America POIs work on my 1390.

Changes made from version 6.50 to 6.60:

*Fixed an issue with 2D landmarks not displaying by default for some locales.

*Fixed an issue with backwards Arabic map labels.

Guess it's safe to assume that the subcategory POI issue still remains...

Does the 3590LMT have Auto Zoom. I can't seem to locate it so that I can set it to Auto Zoom.

As usual, someone at Garmin has their head where the sun does not shine.
They advertised a update, and said the following:

Communicator Plugin
This download area offers free firmware upgrades for select Garmin® units. These upgrades are specific to the specific GPS units and software versions listed.

Here is the site:

I am looking to get new unit to use in another car and I was looking at either a 2450 or a 2555. I do not need Bluetooth or voice navigation and I like the 5" screen. Comparing them on the Garmin website they seem similar. I realise the 2450 does not have traffic but that is not a deal breaker.

Ok I am sick of Trip Planner in my Nuvi 2555 so I am looking for the last Nuvi that DOES NOT use it, so please post models if you know them.I know all below the Nuvi 1450 did not have it so are there any after the 1450 that do not have the piece of @%$&#@ trip planner.
