Garmin talk

They have this sale once or twice a year... The products are expensive but 1/2 off makes it a little easier on the budget. This is the last day, as far as I know there are no coupon codes or anything (just go to the website).

Hope that helps someone,

When I checked My Dashboard, it identified a:
"Mandatory Software Update
We have discovered a software issue that may cause your device to repeatedly attempt to update GPS firmware and either shut down or no longer acquire GPS satellite signals."

I use the windshield suction cup device for every GPS i've owned, and every one of them starts falling off.

How do i get it to stick to the windshield besides spitting on the suction cup. (that leaves an ugly ring on the windshield.)

THX!

Has anyone developed a means of using POIs from this site such as 'All States Off Beat Tourist Attractions' on a GPS which is part of a car package?

The Garmin Nuvi 3790LMT 4.3" Slim Portable GPS, Refurbished for $159.98 at Walmart is back in stock for those who missed it the first time:

Guys,

Yep, noob question here, heheh.

I'm using the Beginners Exercise 7 - Calibrate Nuvi Touchscreen.

I have a Garmin 2595LMT but I don't really know which of the series the author gives fits my unit.

Plz help

On my 3790LMT I am able to set route calculation mode to Prompted which means when you click Go after selecting a destination, you are presented with an option to choose the fastest, shortest, or most fuel efficient route. How do you access this option via a Voice Command?

Also, if Prompted is set and a route is recalculated, e.g., a turn is missed, which algorithm is used?

Does the 3590LMT power cord connect to the bracket or the GPS it self. I looked at the manual and it shows that it is connect to the GPS. I thought I saw a post that if the GPS ends with a "0" it is connect to the bracket.

I am new to the GPS world- I have this Nuvi 500 for a few years but having recently retired I would like to know more- Now my trip computer- when I stop my car it resets(?) the milage goes to zero- How can I keep it going when I stop? I did NOT have the GPS pluged into my vehicle- ALSO how can I retrieve my info from my trip?

Does anybody know the correct file (or files) that store all the customizations I make on the Nuvi 2460LMT.
Every time I do a hard reset I must go in there and customize again. No problem with the favorites, easy enough, I am talking about features such as the "Main Menu" and the information screen on the screens right side while driving a route.

I just purchased a Garmin 2555, How do i find and load the red light cam file for NJ,
Thanks in advance,

i just started using my 1490LMT.
I updated w/the 2013 maps.
I have it set to fastest time and [b]traffic turned off.[/b]

1) going from NJ to Brooklyn, NY i was on the highway to the Verazono bridge when it told me to take local streets to the bridge.

2) in going from brooklyn to queens, it again told me to take local routes instead of the Belt Parkway.

interesting enough:

Hi all

I liked the EcoRoute feature on my 1490LMT but wanted something more than an estimate of my MPG.

then i found the EcoRoute HD:
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=38354&ra=true

questions:
1) how accurate is the MPG calcs from the HD?
2) How to use the data from the HD to improve my MPG?

I have a Nuvi 2450. It only came with a car charger.

I have been using my old Garmin charger, from my 750, with a usb plug and the power mount and it has
5V - 1.0A Max

A charger from a Motorola phone, with the mini usb has
5.0V - 550mA

What files do you need to copy from old Nuvi to maintain your favorites

Hey Guys

unless I am going nuts, I have no clue how I am to restart my device. Have done it manyyy times before but just after my last update, and updating software on my dashboard (noticed that is is different as well), in order for the device to accept all updates I have to do a restart. I remember that for my model I have to do it manually.

Granted, this is specifically POI Factory, not MP3 Forum or JPEG Forum, but does anybody here store photographs on their Garmin Nuvi or other GPS device? I recently updated a second hand Garmin Nuvi 350 that I just bought.

Is the purpose of the BMP icons on the Garmin so that they only show up on the map as you approach the icon or will it also show up in the alert itself where the white box pops up saying how far you are from the POI.

I have a 760 along with Lifetime Maps. I was trying to update to the latest map and ran into a problem. It says that there isn't enough space on my unit for the North America or the US and Canada, I believe it was. However, there was enough room for the Lower 49 states, so that is what I downloaded.
