Firmware version 4.20 for nuvi 7x5 series:
http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4357

Changes made from version 4.00 to 4.20:
Fixed an error that caused the unit to shut down or freeze when a user inserted a SD card.
Fixed an error that prevented a user from selecting a Country or State/Province while searching for an address using third-party maps.

An Amazon seller currently has Lifetime Maps for $49.40, including the $6.44 shipping charge. This is the lowest I've seen them in a while. Note that this is for the physical card with the lifetime code, it is about $30 more to get the code with online delivery.

"Why when I load my Private POI ( red light cameras ) I can see icon, but I can't hear a sound. I am using GARMIN NUVI 1450 LMT with SD card." How I can fix this problem.

Do you think it will get lower or has the price hit bottom?

I guess...no, I know I screwed something up. I went into change the "recalculating", voice 0n my 660 Nuvi to my own creation and now when it's suppose to say recalculating it doesn't say nothing at all. I thought I backed up the original file butttt. What was I supposed to do to change the saying to play my creation? Can I retrieve the original from someone?

Has anyone had any luck getting Mapsource to work with the 3790?
I heard that it was not compatible.

I am about to buy a new Acura MDX with built-in navigation. I have been using a Garmin NUVI 660 for the past few years and like it. Does anyone have any experience with the Acura navigation system? is it time to retire my Nuvi? Thanks.

I own a Garmin Nuvi 650 GPS and I have not usd it for a year now. So I recharge it to give it a boost but after charging it, the screen freezes. I press the power button and it asks for my security password and I can't even type my password as the cursor blinks and I can't type. I tried resetting it and it did not solve the problem.

Hi

my new 1390 is on current firmware
but when i set my home location
or any favorite poi, i will get a black dot.
i read here that it is a bug
but any solution yet?
doesnt matter if i tried to change to house icon or other , i still get black dot.

sorry if there is another post with the same question
i tried to search but did not see any?

any news?

Seems I cannot get any sub categories to stick. As an example I would have a favorite named "Overtime sports". High-lite that in favorites. I then edit that poi and make a new category named Bicycle. Returning to Favorites, it doesn't show up. So I create another sub category in Overtime sports called bicycle1. Now returning to favorites it shows up.

Can an alert sound be associated with the Junction view popup on a 2350?

I don't have the FM transmitter cable for my 1490t. I use the normal charger. The traffic icon is not displayed on the main screen. The bluetooth icon is. If I get the FM transmitter charger cable will that automatically activate the FM traffic function? Do I have to pay extra for that service? The manual said if the unit is activated and I have the compatible FM transmitter cable its automatic.

I am trying to load a total of 140 files from this site. Everything loads OK. When I WHERE TO>EXTRAS>Custom POIs, I scroll through all the files. As I count them, my unit will only show 101 files.

I did this like 3 years ago and when I downloaded the Walmart file for instance, it showed up under my "extras" and then in "poi files" as "Walmart" and then I would open that and there were my nearest stores. Now when I try this instead of one heading labeled "Walmart" I get all my Walmart stores listed. I want to open the poi files and see a list of categories (ie.

ok, i just ordered a new 650t Montana,any tips would be great, also am looking for topos for Canada.. need all provenience

thanks

This is the situation, my Nuvi 660 had 2008 maps. I was attempting to update to 2012. Hooked up the Nuvi to PC, deleted the gmapprom.img to make room for the new map. Began copying the new map to the Garmin directory. About midway I received a message that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and must close.

Has anyone used the trip planning with the schedule?

I have scheduled several routes for my vacation but have never used this feature before.

Does anyone know what will happen if I don't stick with my time limit?

I recently upgraded to a new Nuvi - the 1390LMT (from a Nuvi 205W). I have also moved to a Mac as the host computer. When looking for software for the Mac I found Basecamp from Garmin as a free download. I've played with it a little bit, but since my GPS only supports one way point (as far as I know), what is the value of using Basecamp? Would it be a waste of time learning it?

Thanks,

Has Garmin made things worse with the latest version of MapSource (from other posts I read it is no longer being updated)and carry it over into BaseCamp?
