Garmin talk

Hi,

I ran into a dumb problem with my Garmin 275T. It was recently updated to latest firmware. I usually load POI files to SD card and then accept installing them to unit when it asks for it.

By sensitive I mean which Garmin nuvi will lock on to satellites when others can't. I was checking out a route to use in a few weeks on Sunday. I put the same route in my 885t and my 765t. I was checking them sitting in my recliner in the family room with no good line of sight to the sky. I didn't particularly want a satellite lock but the nuvi does that automatically.

When I click on the 3D Map to get the overhead view, my 855 shows a very zoomed out view. (I can see maybe 8 states). Each time I have to press the zoom in + button about 10 times before the map is useful.

Previously I had the opposite problem, the map view initially only showed a block or two.

And this is the 2nd unit. We were approaching the GWB, and the traffic alert was solid red. Then the unit froze right up, and nothing besides letting it run out of battery would get it to reboot. Very frustrating. It's a good thing the car has a factory NAV with XM traffic so we could figure out what the traffic issue was.

Since I got my traffic function working, for the first time a few days ago the traffic icon appeared on the screen for my entire trip. At several stages when I touched the icon it displayed "traffic is up to date" I wasn't driving in areas I have not been driving before.

One strange thing I noticed when i went to update the software, I only saw the box for

Hello everyone, I can link photos from my SD card to my favorites and I see the photos when I call up the favorites. However, when I turn the unit(1490LMT) off. The photos are unlinked. What am I doing wrong?

After loading POIs on my 1490LMT's microSD card, and powering the unit on, I get the following message:

"New Extras data found on card. Would you like to install this data so that it will be available if the card is removed?"

Hello all, My 1490lmt often warns me of traffic delays when there are none.(icon turns red) This can happen in the middle of the night when there is no traffic at all. Has anyone else had this problem?

I just returned from a road trip to Seattle and Vancouver. Had two problems with the GPS, one big problem, the unit was very slow to recalculate a route and another problem was the unit would not turn on one time. It finally came on just before I was ready to toss it out the window. Just wondering if anyone has experience the same problems.

I did this trick while on the road to keep my GPS battery from dieing and it worked for me as a temp fix... As many people have posted in other discussions the car lighter power cable connection to the mounting cradle is not very robust on the 765T model. With that being said my GPS kept tellin me that I had lost external power and my battery was low.

Every time I do a map update... I have to go through my system here and un-block everything that I normally block.....

Garmin is using one or more of the following to update maps, and if they are blocked, your router will disconnect from the internet to protect itself....

ok, i have a new Garmin Montana 640T would like to get some maps equal to the city nav. maps, but cant pay the high price, is the a free map set that would work? any help would be great.

thanks

Can anyone tell me how to change the start up screen on a Garmin nuvi 660?

What I did yesterday was. I did an update) Garmin's website and everything went fine and today underway to Kingston. We tried our Garmin and there is no Canadian on it whatsoever. Would anybody have any idea what went wrong

I loaned out my Nuvi 760 only to have it returned with a non-operational touch screen (video worked) due to a cracked screen. Ebay has several companies that offer replacement touch screens for the 760 - I choose the unit WITH the frame and tools - this was a perfect choice because detaching the frame from the screen would be a nightmare....

Just found that Target has several models on clearance. I picked up a couple 255W's for my 2 Jeeps for $49.98 each. If you need a cheap unit for your toys, you might want to see what your local store has in stock.

I merged the Cracker Barrel .gpx file with the Current.gpx file in my Nuvi and I now have all the Cracker Barrels on my GPS my saved locations and no more memory. How do I undue what I did?

I looked at some post on eoroute but havent seen what I am looking for. Yhis is for those who have set up the function and using it.

I did my initial setup- price per gallon, city mileage and highway consumption.

next I am "At the Pump" setting.
1. Fuel price - this is straight forward
2. Fuel used - I guess this is the amount of gallons consumed.

Hi all,

As I am new to this forum any and all you help would be greatly appreciated

Recently bought the nuvi 2460lt and the Ecoroute hd and I have followed all the instructions to a t and during the setup of the Eco route it keeps returning a " cannot connect to
Vehicle" .

The landcruiser is a 2006 model

Please help

Is anyone else having problems installing this?

I try, it seems to install, and then when I go to the web page it complains that Garmin Communicator wasn't found.

I've been chatting with Garmin about it and they've said:
- make sure Mac is in 32-bit mode (it is)
- make sure Safari is in 32-bit mode (it is, but I don't remember having to fool with this on previous versions)
