I am planning on replacing my garmin 750 jill seems tired and keeps thinking I'm on a different street or totally off the road and "recaluclates" over and over. I am thinking about the nuvi 3550LM. I don't need or want the traffic. I have the traffic on my work 1350 and hate the ads that come up. Anyone have the new 3550LM and any comments. How is the 3D view? is it worth paying for?

I installed custom poi's with MP3 alerts for Rest Areas, etc. However, I only get a ping alert. Does the 2460 use wav files or MP3 files for voice alerts - Rest Area Ahead, etc.

My old Garmin Nuvi 350 is starting to act up. Been a good unit and have used it for several years. Any suggestions on what new model to get. I notice that Costco always has them on sale, but not sure of the models to look for. I do want a bigger screen, voice prompts, easy to load POI's etc and trouble freeThanks for your help and have a great week.

2350LMT is now $124. Thinking about getting a 2nd because it's so cheap and you know the touchscreen will eventually fail....got the last one for $179 and it hasn't been a year yet.

Is there any way to get out of the computer interface mode and actually use the GPS in its normal operating mode while connected to a PC?

Try as I may, the latest round of Software Updates from Garmin cannot be installed successfully to my nuvi 1490LMT. The portion of the update responsible for the shortfall is the "Database for FM Traffic Providers." It is one of several Recommended System Updates that Garmin says are available.

All other portions of the software update were successful.

I currently own a 755 and i am looking to update it. i never like the old resistance touch screen and would like a newer more accurate one.

I am ocnsidering the 3590 at 399$ but was wondering what reliable and good other model should I consider?

I just picked up the new Garmin 3590LMT and am in the process of getting it road ready. The first thing out of the box after charging the battery I changed the unit to Mass Storage and did a complete backup. Next I registered the unit and began the map upgrade process. The unit came with maps version 2012.20 and version D3191020A.JCV of Junction View.

I currently have a Garmin Nuvi 855. I am thinking of upgrading and passing the Nuvi 855 on to my wife, (She doesn't know that yet), wish me luck on that one. What do you think is the best Garmin automobile GPS on the market today?

In advanced, I would like to thank you all for your comments.

Beach Camera has another nuvi on sale via eBay. $85 with free S&H until it's sold out. I see that 203 have been sold as I type this:

As anyone have notice any problem with your GPS latetly?

can u keep custom poi on card &not install to device,another word use sd only

Hi, first contribution - sorry if this is covered elsewhere but I don't see it...

Bin talked about before, just boggles my mind. They get you to download the Garmin Lifetime Updater and they give you 3 options, one of them is put the update on your Computer. I have NEVER gotten that option to work.
Even if I choose Device and Computer it still doesn't work.

Hello all.....need advice. I am looking to replace my Nuvi 205W with a better model of Nuvi. I am a computer geek in that I like to export my favorites to my computer to use in Excel and use for backup. I know I can upload limited data into the GPS but wanted to do more with Favorite "maintenance" and additions through the PC.

I was wondering about that tonight and it might be nice to know when they are likely to release announcements on new products.

I have updated to software version 6.30. Since the update, when I look up custom POIs, instead of a list of files by category (Arby's, Harley-Davidson dealers, McDonald's, etc), I get a search of all custom POI locations within 10 miles of where I am located. I'm scratchin' my head over this one, folks ... how can I get my custom POIs re-organized by category?
