Garmin talk

I just got a new camera (Canon SX260 HS), which has a built-in GPS and I've verified that I'm capturing the latitude, longitude (even altitude).

My Nuvi 1390LMT is supposed to support photo navigation. According to the PDF manual the first step is to go to

Does anyone know if there's a market for used Nuvis? Having replaced both of my older units, I've figure I can sell my Nuvi 680 and 650 to a good home. I figured I would list it on Craigs list, but was curious if anyone has successfully sold one before. Craigslist has some for about $50, so I may have to reduce below that in order to sell it.

What a bummer this AM. Get to work, go to pull out the GTM-20 a little from the unswitched outlet to turn it off and BAM!!! - the GTM-20 practically falls out. The screw-in retainer that holds the power contact and fuse in had broken.

Anyone here having issues with the latest map updates?

My wife just purchased a 3590LMT on the advice of a friend, and she asked me how to set the anti-theft password. I can't figure it out, and the manual is no help. Does this unit not provide an anti-theft password setting as prior units did?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I picked up a 1450LMT a few months ago and find that it seems sluggish when I try to enter a POI by name (i.e. shopping -> spell name) On my 350 it will usually keep up with my typing speed but on the 1450 it lags behind to a point where I have to wait about 1-1.5 seconds before I can enter the next character. Any ideas?

I bit the bullet and got a 2460LMT to replace the 1490TL (L for Lemon). I backed up the 1490T and removed my 16 GB SD card from it.

I would like to Christen the 2460LMT correctly regarding file structure, use or non-use of the SD card, transferring my Favorites, etc.

So far, I have:

I downloaded rest stops along the interstate several months ago. I'm preparing to travel and would like to review rest stops along my route. Can anyone tell me how to access this on my device?
Thanks

I create a custom route in basecamp upload to my Nuvi2555. Go to "trip Planner" find route. I am past the starting point of the route and I select the route I made and click on "GO" at this point I get a list of starting points. If I choose the final destination it wants to take a different route to reach that point.

I do not have any detailed map info. I deleted my gmapprom.img file from my Nuvi 255w by accident. I do have a backup of my device and files. However, i cannot simply cut and paste from my computer to my device. There is not enough space. It seems odd that pasting a file that was just deleted would not fit since it is the same file.

HELP!

When will we see the first GPS unit taking traffic lights and stop signs into route calculation? I think that would be the killing feature for the competition.

Just purchased a Garmin 2555lmt.
Downloaded map update.
Is there a way to tell if it downloaded to my gps correctly?
Thank You

In Trip Planner I have an unsave trip. How do I delete this. When I do a delete I can't save the delete. I have done just about everything that I know and it would'nt go away.

This has happened a number of times on my 765T, maybe everytime it reports traffic, but I hear what sounds like "P9 traffic ahead." I haven't figured out what it is saying or what it means. Any ideas?

Newbie question, I just installed the redlight cam file using poi loader on my garmin 2555,
I plan on adding new locations to the file,
When i come to install the updated file will it automatically overwrite the existing file, or Do I erase the existing POI file then install the new updated file, Thanks in advance
PS. I will be posting the updated location for NJ

I got a good price on a new in the box 50LM.
I've had very basic GPS before, but I'm a newbie to it's functions compared to the 2 previous units.

The only POI's I have uploaded were golf courses and Harley Davidson dealers.
Today the unit sounded and a "camera" banner came up on the screen about 200 ft before this area's well known red light/speed camera.

I have downloaded Extra POI Editor so I can create custom POI's for a road trip.

Is there a way to get the custom POI to show up larger than a dot on the map? I tried selecting the flag and it still shows up as a dot.

Thanks from a Garmin newbie.

I would like to bring my GPS System [on vacation] with me. to use it on my rental car, Is there any danger in going through the security check points at the airport with the system? Could it be corrupted in any way by going through the xray machines? What is the best way to travel with it by air?

I thought this was an interesting mounting option for some people that have a compatible model.

I have had my 2460 for about 14 months now and I generally like it and I do talk to it a lot while we are traveling. Last year we took a big trip out West and had good luck with Veronica (My 2460). Took us a few strange ways but never had to back out of anywhere. This year we took a trip through VA, TN, and NC. We took a lot of state and county roads.
