Lost system files on a nuvi 465t

I lost some files and now my GPS doesn't work. ie:when I go to a POI it says no streets nearby. Also in Tools/settings/maps: the Map info block is blank.

How to restore back to North America vs lower 49 Garmin

When I updated my NUVI 680 to 2013-10 I did not have an SD card installed. Base memory was too small to install North America or US and Canada, so I installed the lower 49 states. I went out and bought a 4g sd card and installed it. Now when I try Lifetime updater I can't get back to North America's data base. How do I reset Lifetime updater??

Garmin Vehicle Suction Cup

How many different types of Garmin Vehicle Suction Cups are there? The reason I ask is a few days ago I had a vehicle suction cup that probably came with a Garminfone or Nuvifone. I tried attaching my Garmin Nuvi 350, but it didn't seem long enough. So, I found that the one that belongs to the Garmin Nuvi 350 actually adjustable.

855 taking long time to 'discover' satellites

For the last couple of weeks, my 855 has been taking an inordinate amount of time to find satellites, sometimes a couple of minutes.

Comments?

How much ram should one leave ???

After the update earlier this week, I had 92.7Mb free.... Garmin Nuvi 660.
SD Card is used for music...

I've already removed most voices, and pictures, music, but still have a couple I could remove... as well as Icons... Once I get it down to minimum, other than trimming back excess POI's... I think that's it...

Garmin power

My first GPS was a Street Pilot C330 and the car power cord attached to the mount.

When it fell off the windshield one too many times and didn't come back to life, I hurried out and bought my current Nuvi 1390. Its power cord plugs into the mini-USB jack.

I just helped a friend learn the basics of her 2350 and I see that it's powered (once again) through the mount.

Help with POI files

Hello. I am a complete Nubie but have read as many of the FAQs that I can. Bought a Nuvi 50 and was able to set it up and d/l maps and updates.

Downloaded several .gpx and .csv POI files then got POI Loader and downloaded to a 2Gig SD in the unit.

Now What???

What is the newest Garmin Available and what does it do

As I read these posts I find there are way to many versions of Garmin GPS systems. I can understand the company trying to baffle the public just to make a profit but one should know someone to respond with a knowledge what the difference is between their products and if the new number has real improvements or just window dressing.

Cannot unlock CNNA 2013.1

When I noticed the post about the new version I updated my nuvi 3590 and maps on my computer with no issues.

Dynamic Parking (Garmin Smartphone Link)

Has anybody here tried Dynamic Parking yet?

Makes your smartphone the best thing next to your nüvi.

MAP

I just finished downloading the map to my GPSs 855LM,2595LMT and 3790LMT. I checked the box download map to the GPS and computer. I can only find one map. Shouldn't I have 3 maps.

Garmin POI for Schools

Since Garmin has schools listed on it's installed products, why can't they allow us to turn on proximity alerts for them? Wouldn't this be good citizenship?

Deleting files from the Garmin NUVI 40

When I first got my NUVI, I download a whole bunch of foreign language voices for fun. Well, the fun is over. Can I delete the ones I don't want (Windows Explorer).

The same question for the extra help files.

Please put unit type in post title

I'm new here; first post.
Just read the thread on Canadian speed limits. Have never seen these on my Zumo 550. Most of the posts do not mention what units are being used, so I was unable to tell if this feature is supported on my Zumo.

Anybody know?
