How can I download the new map 2013.10 directly to the SD Card of my Nuvi 2450?

City Navigator 2013.10 North America is now available for download from the Garmin website.

I used an earlier version of Option2 to start the download but it is also available via myDashboard

My Garmin-supplied redlight camera alerts are no longer working. The only thing I've changed is that I'm using some of the free Custom POI's here.

I have a 3790LMT I have updated the Red Light and Speed Camera. Is it possible to have 2 different sets of POI. One set shows that they start in Austin, Tx and the other set shows that it starts in Round Rock, Tx is where I live. I have tried to delete and download again with the same result.

Finally have both of my GPSs 3790LMT and 2595LMT backed up.

Until now I have never used one of the mounting discs that come with Garmin GPS units. However, I bought a 2010 Honda Accord earlier this year and I am now giving it some thought. Anyway, for those of you with experience using the Garmin mounting discs, how well do they work for you?

I have successfully uploaded several POI files to my Garmin Nuvi 1450 but the Icon .bmp files from POI-Factory do not show up on it. I have ensured the names are the same and they are in the same folder prior to upload. Other (non-custom) icons show up normally. What am I missing?

According to a mailer received today, beginning May 10th Costco has the 5 inch Nuvi 2555LM for only $169.99. Not bad for Lifetime Maps and shipping included. This price is ONLINE only, and the offer is good May 10th thru June 3, 2012.

I've searched for days and maybe I'm just not searching on the right things. But I'm thinking there has to be a simple write-up on how to download a new map and split it between card and internal.

While researching new GPS units, there was a GPS review that indicated how easy it was to transfer GPS favorites from one GPS unit to another. Does anyone know how it's done?

Just bought a new Nuvi 2595 to replace my old 750. When I added all of my POI files via the POI loader, everything went smooth. Then I opened the custom POI area on the 2595 and instead of the nice list of the POI files, it only shows me addresses. To me that's pretty useless. Am I doing something wrong? I just want to see the list of POI files on the device

Replacing my nuvi 660 with a nuvi 2555, having a hard time loading my POI files on my new 255. Message "no devices were found". Next measage is "You may also need to set the interface option on your GPS to Garmin or Host". Haven't had this problem with my 660, what's going on.

We used to be able to copy directly to a GPS any "my places" that you might have saved in Bing Maps.

That feature seems to no longer be available. It offers to export to a GPX file (which you can then upload to the unit with the Garmin loader) but I don't see the copy directly to GPS option.

Have you noticed that? Or is the feature available somewhere in a not very obvious place?

On Saturday we were coming home from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore when the Red Light camera voice warning and Speed camera warning both came on as both cameras were in/near the intersection. The beeping for the Speed camera would not stop, even though we had long since passed the Speed camera.

I don't believe the warning voice came on for the Speed camera, just the warning beep.

Hi,

I'm wondering if any of you could recommend a good traffic provider for my Garmin 2360LMT in Montreal's area? I do have the free traffic service included with my GPS, but it only gets traffic flows in highways. Since I drive all day long through the city I'd be very interested in getting a good traffic provider including surface roads. Any suggestion?

Thank you.

I have a GPS 3790LMT. I am trying to delete the Red Light and Speed Camera from the Coustom POI file. I have try from the POI Loader and they are still there. I am trying to update the POI file. I can update the file but the old and new file shows up in the GPS.

I have Garmin nuvi 680. The MSN Direct Receiver with integrated vehicle power cable is broken at the tip, where its connected to the back of Nuvi.

I can charge the Nuvi with wall charger [5v .5 amp] at home.

But on the road, when I charge the nuvi with Universal/ regular Mini-Cigarette-Lighter-Charger-Adapter,

I just bought a used Garmin Nuvi 350. I suspect that it has never even been connected to a computer because the mapping software was pretty out of date. Anyway, this morning I checked and I am eligible for a free map update!

I recently purchased a Nuvi 2595 and would like to clean up the files on it. I've deleted all the ones that are obvious to me as being foreign languages. I've read somewhere on here that this speeds up the GPS processing.
Is there a place where they explain what the files do so I'll know which others can be deleted?
