Garmin talk

Just tried to put in the details of an upcoming trip with the trip planner and have found it is not retaining the info ,has anyone else had this problem

This past weekend I went on an overnight trip about 75 miles south of my home. We headed home the next day and my GPS said it was going to take 3 1/5 hours to make what is usually a 90 minute trip home. My wife asked if there was a freeway shut down or real bad traffic causing a really long way home.

On Nuvi 765t, whenever I need to find a POI (a regular one), if I search by categories, the results come up almost instantly. But if I try to search by name, it always takes an unbelievably long time, sometimes 10 minutes and more - even when it eventually returns the very POI's that are not far away, and would be among the first ones if searched by category.

I went to download a bunch of GC's to my GPS last night and they wouldn't transfer. I tried using the cable from my car GPS and that wouldn't work either. The handhelds cable works with my car GPS so I think the cable is good.

I have loaded several POI into my dezl560. When I try and brows through them on the device it will only show 50. when I load the same POI's into my PC I see all the records. Does anyone know if there is a way to show more the 50 records per POI file, or do I just have to break the files down into groups of 50 records or less?

Its eventual fate may be like rimm.....

Guys, I can't pinpoint the exact time when my 760 started acting up, but it's essentially unusable at this time. I did an update to 5.30 and installed BaseCamp maybe a couple months ago. I haven't used the Nuvi much since then. I tried to use it in the past week and have had major issues with it. There are a bunch of things wrong.

I recently purchased a 2360LMT. I tried it out this weekend and mapping and bluetooth work great. However, it will not show traffic at all. I entered a route I knew had traffic on I-95 and it showed up as "No traffic on route".

I recently began loading custom POI icons from POI Factory for popular POIs like Walmart, McDonalds, etc. However, I was disappointed when I found that these icons do not appear on the map when you are driving. They only appear when you zoom in fairly close and at that point, you are probably so close to the intersection you could see the sign for the Walmart in real life!

Do any of the currently produced Garmin GPS units use the same style of power cradle as the 765T? That is one of my favorite features. I have multiple cradles/suction mounts/power cords that I leave in my different vehicles. Then it is just a simple matter of taking the GPS unit with me and leaving power cords, mounts etc.

Hi, I am a MAC user and recently updated my free Nuvi maps. After the process completed I was not able to add an address - kept getting "Map data is not available". I saved my current gpx files, did a hard reset, erasing everything; then I restored the files and did another hard reset. I STILL get the same "Map data is not available" screen!!

I have entered speed limits for many small roads for which there was no data only to lose it all when I needed to do a hard reset. Not surprising, but does anyone know where this data is stored? Looking at the file system, it is not obvious to me. Also, is this data somehow uploaded to Garmin?

I did not realize until tonight that the ARRL was doing this!

I am using a Garmin Nuvi 350 in my vehicle. Rather than use the regular 12 volt car cord I have been using a USB cord. Does anybody happen to know how many amps I need when I use 5 volt USB power?

Anyone know how to clear all trip info on a NUVI 40? I mean the bright blue lines that show where I've been?

Not in the Owners Manual.

Just now when I logged onto the Garmin dashboard, it told me that I had to download a mandatory software update, because a problem was found that the current version could cause my device to constantly think it needs an update or could crash. Then I got a 404 page not found error.

The WebUpdater found no such update. This I trust.

Garmin being squirrely again?

After downloading and installing the latest map updates from Garmin on my Nuvi 3790, I launched Garmin BaseCamp just to play around with it a bit and learn how it works.

Just order my 3590LMT, should arive in about 5 days. Will give my 3595LMT to my wife.

GPS Protection ..........

"Me? I'm not worried. I leave my GPS in the car. Sometimes I place it under the seat, sometimes in the glove compartment, and sometimes in the trunk. No need for me to take it inside with me. I don't believe that anyone could break into my car other than smashing the windows. I feel safe."
