Garmin talk

Anyone have an insight whether Garmin GPS are ineffective on Vandenberg AFB?

Thank you all for helping me loading Red light traffic the problem.

And I have anather question about Bluetooth connection on my GPS. The bluetooth connection on my GPS connection sometimes drop out. Is that because my configuration is not correct?

Please help.

Thanks.

I just realized that my new 2450LM used micro USB to transfer data, not the mini usb which most equipment use (I have around 20). I misplaced the micro usb. Checked online and it's kink of expensive for what it is. Why can't garmin just use the usb cable like previous 255W?

Im try to loading custom poi,,, still wont work,,,this is the only garmin i cant load so far. Any help? thank you

I google it and when to buy microSD card...still.. thanks

Someone might be interested in a new Garmin

I just picked up a Nuvi 1450LMT for free that was having shutdown problems. I copied all the owners Favorites out of the 1450 to a temp.gpx and installed them on his new Nuvi 2555LMT. He was so happy with the amount of time I saved him manually re-entering them into the 2555 he told me to just keep the old one, he didn't need it any more.

I get this "Special" offer in the mail....
FREE SHIPPING!!!! for an Upgrade for my Ford Escape Navigation Package!!!!

FOR ONLY $199.00!!!!

So I called them, 1-877-628-6274 and asked the following questions:

1. Is this a One Time or Lifetime Upgrade??? One Time!

Another eBay deal from Beach Camera:

65 have been sold as I type this.

I load geocaches on my 1450 as poi so I Can see them as i travel. I don't like to use the tourguide because if I am traveling thru a city it has locked up on me . I would just like for them to show up on the map but here is the problem at low speed it works just fine but at hwy speed they never show up am I doing something wrong? it use to work on my TomTom

Someone posted on an RV forum that I follow that Amazon has lowered the price on the Garmin nuvi 465LMT 4.3-Inch Trucking GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map and Traffic Update.

The current price is $234.95. Is this a good price? and What are your thoughts on this unit.

I am interested because we tow a 36 ft. 5th wheel and some of the features seem like they would be good to have.

I have had several questions for Garmin, they never answer my emails, I do use their "contacts" on their website.
Recently I asked why the directions given in a certain city are so messed up, they have been for several years & I've had 2 different Garmin models during that time.

I have looked for an answer here but can't find anything. I have added a Nuvi with Ecoroute. I can get the leaf to green at 99 in the city but as soon as I enter a freeway the leaf turns to red and I get 20 to 30. It should be able to use on the Hwy which is where it would make the biggest difference. Is this a fault or a operator error...Me?

Change History
Changes made from version 4.80 to 6.20:

I purchased the europe maps and checked to see how far it is to rome italy from my house in ohio. My garmin 680 came up with the message: Route calculation error: not enough memory available. Is this because I am in ohio and it would have to draw many turns and streetsand a boat ride) to get me there from here. If I was in italy would I get the same message?

Hi all,

This is a long shot but I hope somebody has a clue on this.

So my dad said that he wants to get a GPS but he doesn't really understand English, so I thought about giving him my current Garmin. It already has the Chinese GUI and a basic Cantonese voice but he wants it to say the street names too. Is there a Cantonese TTS voice that's compatible with the Garmin?

I have a 2595LMT. I can't find in the manual what is Auto Sort Multiple Destinations is.

Hello fellow Garminoids!
I just got myself a Nuvi 3590 to replace my old but trusty 255w. Of course the first thing I proceeded to do was create me a nice fresh back up. I've done that with my 255w many many times, straight forward, show all / hidden / system files... Copy & paste. No problems.

Hi all,

I try to load the POI into my GPS but I am not sure which file should I need to load. Should I load the poi, picture and sound at the same time into GPS?

Can anybody help?

Thanks

I tried a search for Etrex 30, but it gave me EVERY post with Etrex in it, PLUS EVERY post with 30 in it!

So my question -- what's the opinions on these two models? Is it worth having GLONASS added? How is accuracy? What about Geocaching?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on one or the other.

Thanks,
Earl
