Garmin talk

I have asked questions for help on BaseCamp but they are in other post for BaseCamp and not always seen.

I am making this post as a place for help and information about BaseCamp.

I don't want to learn it but if Garmin stops supporting Mapsourse and uses BaseCamp it must be a better product.

If you have any questions or have any tips for BaseCamp please post them here.

Thanks Mary

Im pretty sure this unit shoul have my trends running on it. I've had the unit for about 2 months and frequently use it on my drive home. It is always taking me on a route that I normally wouldn't take. It hasn't changed at all. Is their a setting I need to make on it, to learn my preferance?

Received price alert this morning that the Nuvi 2460LMT is once again on sale for the 199.99 they had last month.
I missed that one but just placed my order.

I just downloaded the csv for pilot truck stops to put in my 2720. It keeps saying it is invalid file. I did some looking around and the other poi answers I found relate to gpi files and say to put it into the gps via windows explorer. This is not the case with the 2720 it does not show up in the explorer. Can some one look at the csv and find whats wrong? Thanks Dan.

My 2460LMT seems to have become confused.

When reaching some destinations the NUVI is telling me the arrival point is on the left when it is actually on the right and visa versa. The same destination point was OK in the past. I am not sure what has happened. Anyone have same experience or any thoughts on how to correct?

Has anyone noticed that sometimes the NUVI 3490 doesn't shutdown or sleep when the car power is turned off?

Mine usually turn off but a few times I've returned to a dead NUVI battery.

Here in Albuquerque, Lane Assist appeared very little save on the Interstate intersections until the three most recent map updates. Now they are very common, even including the 25 mph exit road from my residential community on to a four lane road. Sadly, that specific intersection displays wrong lane assist advice on my Garmin 855 nearly every time I drive through it while in active navigation.

hello Garmin nuvi 255/265/275 owners!

decided to start a new thread to get better response.

I am trying to restore all stock selection of languages to my nuvi 275T (I deleted other language files from it in the past).

I would like to ask you to send me a copy of 2 untouched folders from your nuvi 2x5, locations:
a) Garmin\Text
b) Garmin\Help

GPS magazine site is still active with a new post today.

OK I have been working on this for the past 5 hours,

I tried all the other recommendations from the Original Article (How to install a map update directly to a SD card.)and I can get maps to install directly to the SD No problem at all I can do this in minutes, The 1390 NEVER finds them if they are not on the internal Memory.

Hi everybody, any help would be welcome! :

If I set language text to french, as soon as I reboot the device, the default state, ie. Québec,Canada has disapeared. If I hit the "change state or country" button, it cannot find anything. If device is setted in English, there's no problem whatsoever.

May be in the wrong forum, but I have a Tom-Tom and their voices are a bit more expansive than Garmins (I'll probably be corrected). I have a really neat one that I love. Its a Grandmother that speaks in broken English (Hungarian native). An example when you arrive at your destination is; "If you did vat I toldt you to do, you are vhar you are supposed to be.

I would love to know the phones that DO WORK with their Blue Tooth on the Garmin Blue Tooth end. Garmin won't commit to all the phones and I can't blame them,but they do miss marketing opportunities. I have a WW-II (read old phone) LG-150 with Blue tooth that works GREAT with my 1490t and my older 265W. Am I beating a dead horse or is this a new thread?

So I went to Best Buy this weekend and was considering upgrading from my 765T. I was quickly disappointed by the build quality. It felt like a very light cheap piece of plastic. I thought it was more like the glass 3790 model was but I guess they changed it (maybe due to glare?). I also punched in (and simulated a route) that was over 150 miles and it took almost 2 minutes to calculate this?

Just curious.

Everytime I update system or maps, I see a warning to ensure the GPS battery is fully charged before continuing.

Maybe I'm missing something, but my two GPS's (1490T & 260) both seem to charge while connected to the computer via USB cable.

I say this because the battery level seems higher after disconnecting.

Is the warning outdated?

See Garmin 40LM in ads for $85-90. at Bestbuy, Radio Shack, Staples and Dicks Sporting Goods. Wish I had not got my 1350T last year.

Hello all,

Tried searching in existing forums but no luck.

I want to know if I can add extra map symbols to the supplied nuvi library so that I can use with my personal favorites. I find existing library lacking icons such as hockey arenas, specialty restaurants ect.

Thanks everyone.
