Keep getting error message on 2360lmt when installing the new map update 2012.40. Need help?
Thanks

I just uploaded 2 files "Kentucky Mountains Peaks & Summits.gpx" and "Tennessee Mountains Peaks & Summits.gpx"which list all mountains over 3000 feet in those 2 states.
As I travel across the US I sometimes wonder how high is that mountain in the distance so I have slowly been putting together a file of mountains I might pass.

I am having trouble with getting my garmin 2300 to add a route in tools/trip planner. The plus sign is no longer highlighted (or one of the arrows). Does anyone know how to make it become highlighted so additional routes can be added? It's not a memory issue.

Thanks in advance for helping me plan a new trip.

I have a Nuvi 2360LMT. I downloaded new map update and for some reason not showing side streets but only a rough view of major streets in area. I used option #2 method and selected correct map on Garmin MyMaps. I tried re-loading but same thing. Any ideas or how to hard reset?

I have a Nuvi 2460 and having problems with routing.

I find this software to be inordinately difficult to use. I wonder tho if only one map (hopefully the newest one) can be unlocked? I see several other maps on there and they are all locked with .4 being the only one unlocked. Any idea why they lock when a new map is downloaded? I dislike Garmin programming anyway.

Has something changed with one of the recent firmware updates?

Normally in viewing the traffic map I would see red and yellow highlights showing where there was alleged traffic congestion. Now I see nothing. I do get a warning "Traffic Ahead" and it switches to the traffic map, but there is no indication as to where the congestion is.

I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler that has a built in nav/sat/DVD/radio etc. system. The nav part is made by Garmin.

How do I load custom POI's into it. When I called Garmin they told to contact Jeep. Jeep told me to read the owners manual. I tried that but it makes no sense to me. When I did what it said it didn't work.

I am trying to donwload the latest map to my 855. It seem that Garmin can't find my gps. Any suggestion.

I'll make this my first post shamelessly

My new map update does not have the by-pass routes for Ft. Madison IA or Osage Beach MO. Google made the changes last fall. A frontage road in my town has been closed for two years. Jill still wants me to go that way because it is 50 feet shorter.
..Does anyone have examples of updates not made?

Garmin released a new version of Basecamp today for the PC.

The change log for the PC is:

Changes made from version 3.2.2 to 3.3.1:

Added collapsible list folders and sub-lists for improved organization.
Added shaping point support for zumo devices like done in MapSource.
Added explicit support for shaping points. These will be transferred to supporting devices.

I purchased lifetime maps for my nuvi 260W two years ago. At one point in the not-too-distant past, while attempting to download the newest map, I received a message that I lacked sufficient space for the entire d'load, so I was "given" the Lower 49 maps.

Since then I have done some deleting and made adequate space; however, when I am offered the newest maps, the only choice is the Lower 49.

I can't load POI Loader to my HP Computer Win 7. I get a alert saying: This is an unsupported OS Version. This application requires Win XP SP2 or greater.

Have a nuvi 260 with a broken on/off switch. cost too much to send back to garmin or even have others fix as can take apart myself. however, cannot find anywhere to get part.

Anyone know anywhere or something?

thx

Garmin has released City Navigator North America 2012.40 today.

It appears to be a phased in update with some users seeing the availability via myMaps and others not. I couldn't see it from there or the Lifetime Update program but selecting Download from the Map Updates section of myDashboard and then picking Option 2, resulted in the new maps being downloaded to my 3790.

Map update showing available for both my nuvi's as of 11:38 am CST.

Interesting article in The New York Times. I have to admit that my GPS has taken away a lot of the thought process I used to use when I need to figure out how to get someplace.

MY garmin nuvi 50lm will not aquire a signal inside my vehicle. It works everywhere else. Any clues what the problem might be?
