Garmin talk

Just how bad are the pop-up ads on these new models? Do they block out pertinent data?

With my 1490 I bought the subscription to Clear Channel reporting mostly to get rid of the ads.

Has anybody noticed that with each update of the Garmin maps the drive times keep getting more and more unreliable. I have a Nuvi 1450 with life time map and traffic updates. The most recent map is the worst yet. I travel this same road for 36 miles and the MIMIMUM time has allways been about 45 min.

Anyone know of any good deals on nuMaps Onetime? I saw the 2012 disc on sale/clearance at Best Buy a couple weeks ago for $20, and now I wish I would have picked it up.

I use the 765 in my truck in a Nissan Garmin tray, works great. Just wondering if the ever make new units that will fit in older discontinued cradels? My 765 will probably last a few more years but it might be nice to get a newer unit with different features.

Hi, does anyone have any idea why the speed indicator won't turn red when i go above the posted speed limit on a brand new Garmin Nuvi 50 lm? Thanks for any and all answers.

Couple questions. With a Macintosh what's a good way to convert MP3 to WAV files?

What files do I need to copy over to preserve my Favorites?

Any other changes I need to make?

Did I make a mistake purchasing this unit???

OK, so I just got the 2595LMT, and so far I am on the fence about this unit. I love the customizable features, love the voice commands, and love the new menu interface (coming from the 7x5 and 1450 units).

What I don't love....

I just bought a garmin 1300LM and came here to find addons and found a free wifi CSV file but i do not know how to get it to work, had down loaded a POI file with POI Loader before that and it worked out great not sure what i did wrong if anything, how do i get the CSV files to work? thanks....

I have a Nuvi 255W with firmware 7.5 and the latest maps for North America that I keep plugged in on my car. When I used to turn the car on, the GPS would turn on and loaded the maps fairly quickly. But now, when I turn the car on, the GPS is acting like it is first connecting to a computer, with the horizontal status bar progressing to the right.

I have purchased a 3490lmt and wish to transfer my Favorites from my 1490 to the 3490. How would I do that?

I guess it depends where you live in relation to Canada. I live about 150 miles from the Vancouver so while it's not a 10 minute drive knowing if I buy a new unit

I just had to purchase a replacement for my stolen (grrrrr) 205W.

WalMart is selling the nuvi 50LM for 99 dollars.

My beanbag and cradle were recently stolen, rendering my nuvi 650 useless. I would like to buy a new unit that has a cradle that will also fit my 650(I use the MP3 player all the time). Anyone know of a backward compatible unit like that?

I've read some of the very old threads on the topic of calculation speed, none address the 2460 specifically.

any recommendation on which one works better.

I recently bought a nuvi 2460lmt.and download the latest map update.and I'm trying to locate the jcv and map files. I couldn't find it.where this files hiding?

I have a 3 or 4 year old 755t with life time maps. I'm thinking of getting a new 3490lmt. I work as a trucker and I've used and enjoyed my old 755t very much, but it is starting to act up on me.I have a new iphone 4 and if the blue tooth and text work with my phone i would buy it. does anyone have a new 3490lmt? do you like it? how well does the blue tooth work? can you hear it while driving?

Has anybody here had any luck transferring custom POI's to a Garmin Edge 800? Using Garmin's POI Loader I'm getting a FileName.poi file loaded into the \Garmin\POI folder. The POI Loader returns a "successful" message with the correct number of files being transferred at completion, but I can't find any of the new POI's on the GPS unit.

Hi, is there any way I can transfer the data I have from my old Street Pilot to my new Nuvi 40? I would like to be able to keep all my POI, favorites, recent places? Is there a web page somewhere that can tell me how to do this, Thanks, Happy holidays to all

Check in the "electronics" section... the price in "automotive" is higher.
