How can I transfer my Favorites to a new Garmin GPS?

Anybody know of a good place to get a new battery for a Garmin 265

Hi everyone,

I purchased a nuvi recently on eBay. I went online to register it, yet it was already registered. I contacted the individual I won this from on Ebay to have it deregistered from their account. The individual couldn't find the account used to register it.

So, I called Garmin. They contacted the registered owner via email and the registered owner claims it was stolen.

While POI Factory is a favorite site, I always liked to go to GPS Magazine to read reviews of new GPS's. Does anybody know what happened to this site? It appears to have been on auto pilot since May. No updates, no new information.

Here is the link. http://www.gpsmagazine.com/

Until yesterday I was running POI Loader 2.4.2.0 and had no problems loading POI’s (I know change comes slow for me, used Netscape longer than anyone else)

I have a 3790lmt. The manual show how to Set Location, but, doesn't show how to Unlock Set Location.

More Loquacious?

Before my recent update to my 3790LMT (SV 4.20) whenever the direction took me to a ramp that entered the Baltimore Washington Parkway, either North or South, the voice instructions stated "Take ramp to Baltimore" [even though I might be going South in the Washington D.C. direction.]

Just downloaded some custom POI and followed the directions for installing with prox alerts. Tested it out today and there is no warning.

Qustions about this:

1. Are all POI that include an mp3 proximity capable?

about the location of the jcv file. I've looked in the Garmin folder and all that's in it is garmindevice.xml and lex package. So were is this file? I'm using an imac with snow leopard. So if anyone can help me see the file that I don't see thank you.

I received the North America 2012.1 DVD and installed the new maps. I don't see a way to delete the 2008 map from MapSource. Do I have to uninstall via Control Panel?

Can someone please help me with some settings on the 765 that I recently picked up. I am trying the unit out and getting used to it here around home before we head out on a trip and I notice that to places I go all the time it takes me the long way around hence taking more time. When I go the way I normally would it recalculates and comes back with a shorter time.

Has anyone loaded a Nuvi GPX tracklog into Google Earth and noticed that the time stamp for each track point has a funky time? If I load my track log into Mapsource the track points have the right time. At first I though it was in 24H format, but it's not.

Wondering if anybody might have anny thoughts or theories on this; waypoints that I transfer to my Nuvi 885T no longer show up on the unit. In the past I've successfully transferred numerous points using Bing and Google (USB and wireless).

I just bought a Garmin 1490t, and enabled my Free Navteq traffic , I was wondering what the difference is between Free and Premium? I get no ads as it is.

My 2nd part of this question is Is Clear Channel a Good traffic software? (for Southern Ontario Canada)will it work with the same mini usb Plug that came with my 1490t?

Thanks

How do you delete the Custom POI in a GPS. I have 3790lmt. What files am I looking for in my computer.

It looks like Garmin has some more new Nuvis coming out with some interesting features.

Cannot download the POI files as computer says I lack the proper program to open GPX extension files. What am I doing wrong??!!

My 1490 has a text folder containing 98 folders. Which ones do I need. I only read English. I would like to delete the rest. That should free up about 37 MB.

I got a 1490LMT a few days ago and have been experimenting with the routes. What I want to do is customize a route from point A to B. So, instead of taking interstate X, I want to take hwy Y and hwy Z. I've tried 2 methods so far and not happy with either:

Hi GPS Poeple, all my poi's were doing fine execpt for my weigh stations and check points, so I reinstalled but now I don't have the bmp's nor the wav sound plus I still ain't getting the weight stations nor the check points can I get some help Thanks!
