Nuvi backup
Hi everyone,
I'm in the middle of backing up my Nuvi 1450 using Imgburn to create a ISO image of it. Am I doing too much or should I only backup select files? The reason why I'm asking is because the estimated time to backup the whole 1.8+GB image is about an hour ![]()
Thanks!

TourGuide Problem on 1490t
Can someone duplicate this problem?
Where to?>Extras>Custom POIs>Select an entry from a TourGuide File.>Save
The 1490 responds with "Saved to Favorites"- Click OK
Then go back to starting page.
Where to?>Favorites
When I click on Favorites, that location is just off the coast of Africa. The wrong location also shows up in Recently Found. My 295 does not duplicate the error.

Proximity Alerts (too fast to read)
I guess the Nuvi 40 doesn't play mp3 files. Bummer. However, whenever I get to a place where I've created an alert, a small box appears for a few milliseconds. Much too fast to read. Is this normal?

Cannot authenticate maps 2460LMT
After downloading version 2012.40 I get the message Cannot authenticate maps on my 2460LMT. I then went to the Garmin my dashboard and downloaded the newest updates for my registered Nuvi 2460 and did the steps it told about disconnecting and restarting the unit. The error message still shows and the GPS firmware shows 2.89 which is the same as when I started.

Garmin seems to have cut features I like
I am on my third Garmin, but it is acting squirrely so I may be looking for the next one. The way I use mine, I put audio books or mp3 songs on it, plug a cord into its headphone jack to pipe the sound through the car's stereo system, and listen to books/songs on the car's speakers while I drive.
The current Garmin's all say they have no mp3 player/audio book player/headphone jack.

Check this work, please
Every now and then, I go to Gary Hayman’s site to the Recent Additions page. I then read the recent articles.
I was reading the http://home.comcast.net/~ghayman3/garmin.gps/pagepoi.08.htm
Page – and in particular a section dealing with
1. how far out can you be zoomed and still see an icon for a custom POI, and
2. tourguides

3590 not bright enough
My new 3590lmt is not nearly bright enough to easily see in bright sunlight. I didn't have this problem with my 3490. Brightness is at 100% and still hard to see the screen. The screen is hard to see due to reflections and lack of enough brightness.

Garmin BirdsEye problem
Here's an interesting problem. I downloaded a pretty big BirdsEye area, something on the order of 8,000 "tiles". However, I neglected to check "transfer to GPS when finished". How can I transfer this area to my eTrex 30 withouth spending several hours downloading it all over again?

Junction View Screenshots from a Garmin 3790LMT
I received the Garmin 3790LMT that I bought last leek and was surprised at all the additional JV covered freeway intersections that have been added.
I did some screenshots on the way to the airport here in Tucson. There are two grabs of two different freeway junctions that are on I10 on the way to the airport.
