Where's Emily?
I recently purchased the new Nuvi 3490LMT and find that my choices for the voice prompts are either Jill or Michelle, for English that is. Gone is my beloved British girl, Emily! Anyone know if other voices are available that speak English?

Looking for a case for the 2460
I'm looking for a case to protect my new 2460. I want something that will give me protection and slimline.
I order the below recommend case on Amazon when I order my 2460 but this thing is HUGE. I could easily stick two 2460 in there and still have room. Not sure why Amazon recommended the case for a 5" GPS

Arrival time (855 and 3790LMT difference)
I have an 855 and a 3790LMT gps. I was checking the arrival time on both and they are off approx. 15 minutes while traveling. But when I arrive at my desination both arrival time was the same. Why? Both should be the same while traveling.

Battery Charging
I have a Garman 755T GPS. Now, when I plug into 12v plug on the car, it seems that there isn't any 12v going to the GPS. In the past, after you plug in the GPS into the 12v plug, the GPS would start up automatically. Now nothing happens. Is it the GPS or the cord?

Almost done in by a Nuvi
Don't know if anyone here watches the AMAZING RACE, but I couldn't help but laugh at last night's finale.
The team at the head of the pack was lucky enough to get a cab driver who had a Nuvi (not sure the model) to give him directions to the pit stop where, if they arrived first, the team would win a million dollars.

HELP!! Extra POI editor suddenly not working :(
Hey gang! I know, long time no post ![]()
I have a huge problem. My Extra POI Editor is no longer working. I was using it and then it stopped working. When I go to open the program, I only get the icon in the task bar.
The program doesn't fully open.
I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the latest version, but the same thing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SD Cards
I was reading this topic http://www.poi-factory.com/node/35191 I as a result I was wondering if someone could tell me just what these cards are for. I know with my nuvi 1450 that sometimes I have to reduce the map download because the GPS does not have room. Would a card change this?
Remember I am the dumb one with computer and GPS's.
Thanks

Garmin 1400 Series and Memory Cards.
Can anyone tell me if the Garmin Nuvi 1400 Series will accept an 4 & 8GB SDHC Cards or only the 2GB SD Card. I know that the SDHC Cards are not backwards compatible if the device will not accept SDHC and could not find anything in the specs.

Any ideas?

Something for the FYI File.
Something unusual happened two days ago I thought I'd share. I have a Nuvi 1450, which has worked flawlessly. I have an 8GB SD card in it for storing POI's. I choose to leave them on the SD card, just a personal preference. It's always worked just fine.

TomTom Power Adapter with Garmin doesn't work right?
So I broke the USB plug off the end of my Garmin power cord (long story.) I have been using an old cell phone charger to power my Nuvi, but the problem with that is that is thinks its plugged into a computer.

First time POI downloader - request patience and assistance!
I'm a long-time Garmin user but a first time POI user. Please can someone give me step-by-step instructions how to download the icons and sounds and anything else this cool sight has to offer into my Garmin 2595?
I have clicked on many of the restaurant icons so now how do I get them to my Garmin?
Also, how do I add new traffic camera locations to my Garmin.







Nuvi 1450 won't recognize SD card
My new Nuvi 1450 won't recognize my SD card. I downloaded POI's from The Factory. I transfer them to the SD card with the POI Loader I can see them in my PC so they are on the card but the Nuvi doesn't display the card under Extras. I can load them to the device itself and they are under Extras. How can I access them on the SD card?
