Garmin talk

I have 5 Garmin Nuvi units, 255W, 750, 1300, 1450 & 1490.

On the 255W and the 750 I have no trouble accessing and routing from my installed "Custom POIs". I simply select one of the custom POIs and I am given options to "map it" or "Go To". Just like I am from the pre-installed POIs.

But in the 1300, 1450 & 1490 I am not given an option to "Go To"??? Here is what happens;

Hi,

I am getting this for my birthday on Saturday to replace my old 760 (still going strong).
I had noticed on reviews on Amazon etc that people were having issues updating the maps.
If fact that was the main complaint (and the 2455).
Is it better to use MyGarmin Account to update or should I download the WebUpdater and it instead?

thanks

Anyone know if Garmin will be making firmware enhancements (as they promised) so the 37XX series will handle multi-point routes? I mean GPX or CSV files with multiple points in sequence (such as a TourGuide).

Is it better to lump the 2 files (RLC & speed cameras ) under one folder or divide them in sub folders?

A couple times a year I update a batch of Garmin GPS units (several different models). I upload the POI to a SD card and then update the units which has worked great. However, I had to get a new computer which then the file to generate the POI file has changed locations. Instead of overriding the POI file on the GPS, it creates a new one.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to open diagnostic mode on the new Garmins like the 2500 series?
In the old ones you can do that by pressing the battery indicator icon for a few seconds.
Thanks!

I own a 765t, which I like very much. My only complaint about it, and the rest of them I have seen, is, they dont have a customizable "favorites" folder, or "shortcuts" folder, with easy access to files, via a single button from the navigation screen. I am 60 years old, and bathroom breaks have become more frequent and need to be planned out more than they used to be.

I have a Garmin 255W without lifetime maps. To add lifetime maps would cost me $90. Seems to me that a newer Garmin with lifetime maps would be a better option since it is now over 2 years old. What do you think?

BTW, it can be a Magellan or a TomTom, as long as it does the job.

Would like to wish everyone A Merry Christmas. I know it's been a tough year for a lot of people, but hopefully things will start to get better in the upcoming months (please don't start with the bashing of the President!) Let's just all pray that things start to get better this upcoming year, for everyone and the world

God Bless Everyone

There is rumor on one of European forums about new version of CN for Europe. It will probably have number 2012.40. As they say, should be released in about month (no link as it isn't english language forum). No big changes in coverage.

As usual question is when CN NA 2012.40 will be released.

I downloaded the Harley Davidson POI to my Nuvi 50LM but now every dealership in the US appears in my favorites. How do I move them to their own category?

I read in an earlier post, but can't find it right now, that some of the Nuvis, with more recent map updates have regained the ability to display upcoming cross streets in the green banner at the top of the map view when you are NOT in navigation mode.

Can anyone with a 765T and very recent map updates (the last one or two)confirm whether this is the case or not?

Lifetime maps for Garmin just went to $62.99 on Amazon.

This is the lowest price so far this holiday season that I have seen.

Any one figure out how this thing works? I haven't gotten the icon on the map screen to turn green since my first upgrade. Always shows red and always shows 0. All the pertinent stuff is filled out. History is all there but that's all

Hi,

How can I get my favorites and custom pois into my Nuvi 2555lmt from my Nuvi 1450, I got them out of my Zumo 550 when I bought the 1450, but that was two years ago, I can't remember

Hello, I am upgrading my 255WT that has served me well and will hand over to the Wife for Emergencies. I purchased a competitor but will take it back after realizing what I had in the low end 255 vs theres.

I have a problem after last map update. It happens if I am being routed to take an exit off of the interstate. Sometimes (not always) when the junction view pops up it causes my 765t to re-boot. Has anybody had this issue? I searched for it but could not find but I thought that I had seen it here earlier.

Thanks

my new 2595lmt seems pretty good. One quirk. when you have an intermedate waypoint the arrival time doesnt reflect the time zone change at your destination. as soon as you pass the intermedate waypoint the time zone change at your destination is corrected in your arrival time. Any ideas?
