I have been tying to follow the Junction View thread. I am not too sure of the solution of getting the full files that can be installed on the micro SD Card for the 1490T. Did Garmin make the full file(s) available or was it made available only with new maps update? Is there a solution? I am in NJ and I do get a few JV and lane assist on route 287 and route 78.

Changes made from version 7.40 to 7.50:

Fixed an error that prevented a user from selecting Country or State/Province while searching for an address using third-party maps.

Fixed an error that prevented a user from using a map from an SD card.

Fixed an error that displayed No Matches Found over the city-search results.

Anybody got TourGuide to work with Geocaching POI files?

I just downloaded poi for red light cameras and speed cameras onto my nuvi 780. I am interested in testing this out as i know of a red light camera that is nearby and i want to test this out. I guess all i have to do is drive with my nuvi on and i should receive an alert when i get close to the camera, assuming that this camera is included in list of sites. Am i correct

When I turn on the 200w it loads map and runs. If I plug in a 12v source, or interrrupt the power while it is on, it reverts back to the startup screen, shows the computer connection icon, and the green bar rolls across slowly which I assume it is rebooting. It does this anytime the 12v supply is interrupted. Is this normal. I don't seem to remember it happening before.

I am just wondering if anyone has purchased any of these new Garmin 2012 nuvi models.

Makes me wonder if Garmin had the sense to add more internal memory to these new models so that map upgrades will go more smoothly?

I just got 1350LMT dirt chip at $149 with free map updates and FM traffic for life. My wife's 260 was cracked in an accident and my 350 still works great, but does look a dinosaur.

Anyway I never had traffic before the free FM traffic works , but shows poor signal. The help on the GPS stated getting an external antenna may help. Do these really help?

Hi everyone. I have kind of an off the wall question.

I replaced the battery myself in my 205 recently (it was easy). One corner of my sticker on the bottom now wont stay down. I think over time it will get worse. As I dont have any experience working with stickers and decals, does anyone have advice as to reattching it without screwing it up?

Thanks.

I use a Mac, but hopefully my experience will be useful to PC users too.

Last July Garmin released an application to enable users with lifetime map subscriptions to check and /or automatically download new maps as soon as the are released for their Garmin GPS. This was welcome news as I have a 2350LMT and like to keep it up to date.

My wife and I were driving to Vancouver, some areas have very long stretches without a passing lane. We've come across a few instances where someone coming towards us took a big chance in passing and nearly collided with us doing so.

I have been successfully using redlight camera data for some time but since the last update (last week?) one of the warnings does not work.

I have garmin nuvi 760 and I would like to turn on all the proximity for all roadside rests. Is there a way to do this?

I purchased a 1350lmt today. Put in a microSD card, downloaded POI loader from Garmin website, proceeded to load custom POI downloaded from POI factory. POI Loader loads fine but when I tap on Extras, nothing. It says no extras were loaded. Called Tech Support at Garmin, the tech told me to put the custom POIs on the device itself. Why? Why?

If you are looking for cheaper updates than Garmin sells them for amazon.com commonly sells the onetime and lifetime maps for less. The onetime is about $8 less and the lifetime is about $18 less.

It seems like every time I look ay my Favrite Files, I see another update for Walmart. Just how many stores can the build every week?

The latest software forced before the software would allow me to install new map.

Traffic works, but the traffic search list is missing the color code on the left. When individual entry is clicked, it shows the color.

What is the easist way to geo code pictures that were not taken with a gpsr. Photos could be years old but I would now like to associate with a location (perhaps where the photo was taken or what it represents). Im aware of many free ware programs on the internet but they are all focused on using a gpsr to sync with pic locations.
