Garmin talk

Hopefully this is not a repeat.

When I select points of interest and the list is displayed it lists the distance and general compass heading.

Has anyone seen my windmill, it was there last week!!!

Was it sent out for service???

Do I need to call the suicide hotline or the lost and found???

Ok, whoes been out and brought one, are they going to be better?

I have seen many posts about different mounting options for my Garmin Nuvi, but this is a slightly different angle.

I got an email this morning from Amazon announcing their card based lifetime map updates for under $50 (again). I just bought one for my son which shipped yesterday for over $70. Last time they did this, it was only offered for 2-3 days. I hope some of you get in on this.

Just dowloaded the Michigan Cider MIlls from POI-Factory. I tried to save as a .gdb file and as a .gpx file but both say it is an invalid file and Mapsource will not open it. I KNOW I have done this before (I think) but sure cant make it work this time. I am trying to plan a fall color ride and this would be a great source of ideas. Appreciate any help that can be provided.

We've got a new Jeep with what appears to be a Garmin in-dash nav as part of the electronics.

The owners documentation states that custom POI's can be loaded. Here's the text from the manual:

Custom POIs (Points of Interest)

does anyone else have one of these units?

I ran across this on amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-3490LMT-4-3-Inch-Portable-Navig...

"This item has not yet been released.
You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives."

Amazon does not say they are out of stock, instead it reads "this item has not yet been released".

On a recent 4WD deep in Forest Service roads I wanted to transfer a waypoint (POI) of a road intersection to a friend with another Garmin. He wanted a shorter way out.
I could not find the coordinates for the waypoint on my GPS.
Is there a way to transfer coordinates without a computer? I was so sure I could........

In an effort to get more familiar with my Garmin gps and practice some tips learned on this forum, I created a short 20 mile route and proceeded to see what campground POI's showed up along my route. What I discovered is that looking for POIs ALONG A ROUTE My Garmin 750 only shows those within 1 mile of the road.

I recently purchased the nuvi 3790LMT unit and loving it but trying to use Basecamp is very frustrating.
I want to be able to create my own route and exporting it to my garmin but when I select the waypoints and select create route,all I get is the individual waypoints saved under my favorites in my garmin. I thought I can just combine all the waypoints into one single route.

Does anyone know how to reload original files on a nuvi 855T ? I wanted to free up some space on this unit and deleted some needed files. I lost Speech Recognition. I'm up to date on the software (v4.70)
Any thoughts? Thanks

Have recently purchased my first gps a nuvi 1350lmt. Well... soon after that, I realized how many different models & features there are out there and much fun gps'ing is! I have been doing a lot of reading on this site. ( and have much appreciated the insight & experience of the contributions here! )

New guy here. I suppose this is like asking for the moon, but do ANY Garmin (or other brand) gps's allow you to search for POI's within xx miles of the road along an entire route?

Searching for campgrounds within 5 miles of the road along an entire route comes to mind. Streets and Trips has a similar function.

I just downloaded national_parks_plus (Last updated 09/12/2011) poi to my 755. However, when I view the poi's it only shows some of them. The majority of them are not showing up. It shows the farthest one as 180 miles from me. Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue might be? Thanks

First off, I am a newbie here and I am sorry if this is already discussed somewhere else.

I downloaded some custom poi files today. Is there a way to create sub directories? Right now when I go to my extras there is only one directory. (Custom POI)

I am curious. Does anybody know how many of the above POIs are in the data base. I read there are only 467 speed cameras in total. I suspect there are that many alone in DC, MD, and Northern VA.

When I approach a Red Light Camera, my Nuvi 1450LMT makes a double chime and a little grey rectangle appears on the map with "RLC Camera Alert".
