Garmin talk

I just purchased a Nuvi 2450LM to replace my old Streetpilot c340. I have been trying for 2 days to download routes created on Mapquest to it and am getting nowhere fast. I have installed the Garmin communicator plugin Ver. 3.0.1.0 and the drivers. When I plug my Nuvi in with the USB cord, and go to the Garmin test page I get the message that my device is found and working properly.

Webupater says there are new English-language voices. I install one or more of the new voices, including agreeing to the boilerplate. Installation progress proceeds without error.

When run again, Webupdater says there are new English-language voices, including the one or more I just installed.

What's up?

Just found TTS Voice edit a couple of days ago.My wife loves the GPS saying, "you missed the turn....dummy" rather than "recalculating" Simple to use and you can change anything She/he says as well as voice speed ect. Great tool. http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/TTSVoiceEditor

Planing a trip to Florida by car and would like to hear from anyone who has made the trip and has information where the best places to stop at are. Google map shows different route than my Garmin. Which is right or better?
Any good POIs on the way that would be good to stop at?
Thanks for any information you can share!
Route sharing forum anyone?

Where can I find Firmware 4.50 so that I can download to my garmin 3790lmt, it has Firmware 2.50. I search garmin and can't find 4.50.

Has anyone figured out how to get the unit out of PC mode while it is still connected to the computer? In other words so you can do maintenance, etc. I have only been able to get there while connected to a wall outlet.

The Garmin 3490 got some new updates today. One of the update are new DASHBOARDS designs.

Per Garmin, The GTM 60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver provides traffic alerts with Digital 3D Traffic, the world’s most extensive traffic avoidance system.

I created a route in google map and sent it to my 3790lmt gps. I showed that it was sent. Where would I find the route that I created.

Does anyone else have this problem? I have a 2460LMT, updated the "Jill" voice to 2.90. Noticed that she now pronounces "County" as "Nounty", "Stearns" as "Stens". Is there any way to tweak?

I noticed that the rate of the 2.70 was set to 45 while the 2.90 version it is set to 11.

I just saw an ad for this Passport IQ. It combines an Escort Radar Detector and a GPS built into one unit. Being that Escort is one of the best radar detectors, and the unit is using SiRFstar III and NAVTEQ maps, so it sounds like it may be a great unit, on paper.

Does anyone know the difference between the New 3490 and the 3790 from last year?

Anybody can suggest where can I get a POI file with traffic cameras in Europe?

I just switched from an old Magellan system to a garmin 1350. After the turn instruction, I miss the bong bong of the magellan. Is there a way to add this sound after the turn instruction?

Just bought a harley edition Zumo 660. Our local harley store had a 30% off day so I had to do it. Found out by accident that there is a rebate current. If you go to the Harley web site and look in the Parts link, there is a link for a rebate that allows a free lifetime maps subscription. Pretty good deal, but not well advertized.

I installed a few maps from http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/ on my Dezl 560, and now I think I'd like to remove them. Is this as simple as deleting one file? Or do I need to re-install maps, but only the ones that I want to keep?

Thanks,

Hi Everyone!
I need help to get voice alerts by using WAV files. I have done everything and follow all the instruction giving on this board of getting voice alerts using WAV files without MP3 capability but with no success. I honestly don't know what I did wrong but doesn't work on my unit. Can anyone please help me and show me steps by steps how you did it on your unit.

Thanks!

Hello all,

When I enter my friend's address, my GPS overshoots the location by about a half a block. I can get the right location by pressing the "coordinates" button but then I can't see the proper address info in my favorites file.

Does anyone know of another way to do this? I'm using the nuvi 1490lmt.

Thanks

Just got back from a five state tour of the Northwest. Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming back thru Idaho to Oregon. Back the end of last month. Learned I have a lot to learn about setting up trips and learned a lot about setting up trips. But I always knew right where I was.
