Garmin talk

I went on a road trip from Toronto to Myrtle Beach and plotted my route on Google maps and then sent the route to my Garmin nuvi 660. Going down was fine it followed the Google route no problem. But coming home it did not go the same route that i programmed in for the return trip.

Hi,

How do I load POI icon to my Nuvi1390LMT? Do we have intructions anywhere?

I just downloaded and installed the POIs of the rest areas, but don't know how to intall the icons.

Thanks in advance.

I have downloaded POI's for Harley Davidson, Culvers and Best Western along
with their icons from this website. Using the latest version of Garmin's
POI Loader I installed these three POI's on my Garmin Nuvi 3790T. The
Harley icon shows up at the various locations I checked, but the icons for
Culvers and Best Western do not show up anywhere. I tried uninstalling all

I have a Nuvi 765T. I realize that plugging in the mini-USB into the Garmin to charge (even if its not connected to a computer) leaves the GPS unit pretty much unusable. Does anyone know of a charger that uses the standard Garmin charging port, but instead of going to a car charger adapter -- still goes to a USB port (so I can use a multi-USB car charger)?

Been playing with custom POIs and I can't seem it get anything to work.The only thing I see is the bmp image on the screen. I have these files in a folder I named..
My_Home.bmp
My_Home.csv
My_home.wav

The extension names are not a part of the actual name.They actually look like this..
My_Home
My_Home
My_Home

I was in Bayside, NY and wanted to find the quickest route to the Macy's in Douglaston. I spelled out Macy's and the nearest Macy's was 6 miles away. I did get myself to the Douglaston Macy's and while sitting in front of the store did another search on my Nuvi. Again, it did not show the Douglaston store. What gives? This store has been here for over 40 years.

I have a Garmin 3790LMT. When I do a simulation drive, it freeze the route before it starts. Does anyone else have this problem.

I'm replacing a nüvi 265WT with a nüvi 2350LMT. I'd like your view on which data, if any, to transfer from the old to my new unit.

I upgraded when map updates for the 264WT were no longer available, because I wanted a unit that would remember routes and waypoints, and because the wife and I plan a major trip to Lake Tahoe later this month.

After installing updated red light cam poi file to nuvi 255w does anyone know of a way to test rlc audio alert tone(s) while unit is still attached to computer by USB or otherwise,
It would be cool to be able to hear what the tones sound like before taking the unit on the road?

Thanks.

I know the question has been asked many times but I cannot find the answer quickly. Could someone (or a number of someones) tell me if the GPS ON the windscreen is legal in the following states: California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Second question, can cell phones be used WITHOUT handsfree in the same states (My Bluetooth went south and I cannot pair to my GPS.)

Thanks!

This is a dumb quesdtion, but I downloaded some POI onto my new garmin 2460. How do I find the POI I downloaded? Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Garmin has released a major update of their BaseCamp software for both the PC and the MAC. Here is the changelog for version 3.2.1

Changes made from version 3.1.3 to 3.2.1:

Moved the various property tabs to a separate dialog
Added swapping the map and data list UI regions
Added activity profiles to allow easier changes between common routing configurations

Anybody having weird map redraws on the unit(1490)when using maps created in Mapsource?

I looked online at a connected unit model 1690, with a two way google local connection for two years (with ads) for about $94, refurbished on Amazon. It has traffic and a two way data connection. Gee whiz.

So I love all the custom pois on this site but what I want to know is if it is possible to some how download all the pois from a new garmin and replace all the old outdated pois on my garmin nuvi 1200

I've been trying for several weeks, and somehow just can't get the TourGuide function to work with my 560LMT. Does anybody know if the 560LMT actually WORKS with tourGuide files? Being a trucking GPSr, I'm wondering if that was left out.

Thanks,

My 855 battery compartment door does not latch. It keep falling exposing the battery. Where can I get a replacement door.

Last month we updated the firmware on one of 2 Nuvi 265WT we own. This was done at the direction of a Garmin rep while trying to address a traffic display issue that turned out to be a problem with NavTeq, not our Nuvi units.

We want to go back to the previous version.

The unit completely froze-up while navigating. Although it happened with my 660 as well when it was brand-new, unplugging from the lighter and plugging it back in caused the unit to turn off. Not so with the 2350, it just remained stuck in the same state until the battery drained. I'm starting to wonder about Garmin. It's a good thing money grows on trees! LOL

How does one have both Europe and North America maps on one SDHC card?

Don't both maps have the same file name?
