What controls order

In a Garmin 2300 I copies several POI collections (.GPI) I created with POILoader. In the GPS the categories are not in any apparent order. Maybe date created. How can I get them into alphabetic order?

New Garmin, New Maps?

Hi Folks,

Anything new for the 1400 series?

I don't see much postings for the Garmin 1400 series. Are they phased out as yet?

Need helps from Garmin fellows

I remember there is a software that you can use to change the text on Garmin (that what I did on my Garmin). You can change whatever to make it says what you wanted. Now, I just got a new 5" Garmin and want to restate the 205W back to its original before sell it. However, I can't remember the name of software. Checked through my computer was no helps. IIRC, I download from members here.

GPS 2595LMT

I bought a Garmin 2595LMT today. I am downloading the map right now. Will be using it on a trip to Argyle,Tx tomorrow. So far, the only thing that I see that I am not fond of is that the power cable has to be attached to the gps instead of the bracket, like I am use to with the 3790LMT and the855.

Nuvi 1390LMT

Just aquired a 1390LMT and after the map upgrade, I find that there is very little memory space on this unit I have already deleted all unused voices but there is still not much space. Any hints?

Garmin Nuvi 1390LMT and GPX Files

I just got off the phone with Garmin support asking if my Nuvi 1390LMT supports mp3 files. I was asking because of the use of mp3 files in both the GPX-type POI files and the third party voice files for POI alerts.

The tech told me that few Garmin units any longer support mp3 files and therefore custom POI alert voices must be in WAV format.

CSV files

I have a Garmin Nuvi 3490 LMT and am interested in some of the CSV files on this site but I don't know what to do with them. I downloaded them to my computer but can't open them except for in my notepad. Is it possible to put these files onto our Garmin or is that what they are for. We are new to the Garmin scene and how to put new maps etc.

Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT

On my 1450 LMT I have the USA maps in the device. I also have the European maps on a micro sd card.

Garmin NUVI 465LMT vs Garmin dezl 560LMT

I’m getting ready to retire my wonderful NUVI 660 and I am considering either the NUVI 465LMT or Garmin’s dezl 560LMT, I drive a charter bus and want a GPS geared more for commercial drivers. I would like to be able to enter the height and length of the bus I am driving for that trip. We run from Fl to Canada, NY, DC, Chicago and Texas.
