Garmin talk

Well, based on favorable feedback we got here, we bought the Nuvi 3700 with lifetime maps. Is this unit slick or what? It's thinner than my iPhone and the screen resolution is far and away the best I have ever seen on a GPS unit.

The car charger it comes with outputs 5V/2A. It comes with no other charger.

I downloaded some new POI files, and when I tried to install them POI Loader told me there wasn't enough room on the 1690 to install them. So, I went back to the beginning and told it to delete the existing POI's, then I told POI Loader to install everything to the SD card.

I have a new Samsung phone SCH-u370 and not all the time does it completely connect to the Nuvi 1490. It only connects partially-buy this I mean the phone book on the phone doesn't always connect. This happens about 50% of the time! Any ideas???

Attempting to clean some excess from my Zumo660, I inadvertently deleted ALL my .gtt files. Where can I download those that I want on my GPSr? Or, are the ones on my Nuvi350 the same and I can just copy them?

I know that MSN Direct will stop on 1/1/2012 but I just received a notice on my 885 that there is a update for it. Anybody else get this notice ?

Can anybody help me, copy all their files on their GPS, upload it somewhere like dropbox, so I could download it? Please, I'm in great need of strangers' kindness!!! (It does not have to include the map .img file)

Garmin announces redesigned line of eTrex GPS handhelds with enhanced geocaching

I was under the impression that once you selected to download the update to your unit and computer that you could update another unit that also had lifetime maps without having to download again. This didn't work for me. I ended up downloading again for over an hour. On the first download I did select to leave the update file on my computer. Can someone tell me where I went wrong?

Hi,

I have read some references here to backing up the files on a GPS.

Is this simply:
1. connect nuvi to computer's usb com port
2. select all files
3. right click and select copy
4. go to a backup folder, right click and select paste

Or is there something better or more complete recommended?

I have a Garmin nuvi 1350lmt, can junction view be install on this type of GPS? If so, how can this be done?

We just got back from a 1200+ mile trip to and around Southern California. Previous to this I had not seen any Junction View (JV) displayed on my unit. This trip I finally got to see it in action.

TTS Number 70 and 71 for a Garmin Nuvi 660 deal with loss of Satellite reception, though I've never heard them ever spoken. I'm guessing these prompts are for a different Nuvi, and are not used in the 660......

Number 65 and 66 deal with loss of Power, and I've never heard them, either

Number 93 works, but Number 94 through 96 don't, and they are simelar....

Hello All,

I can't find any unlock code for my new garmin60CSx. No yellow card, nothing on the back of the box. Thoughts??? Thanks in advance

Have you ever bought a stolen GPS on the internet? I have. One of the internet sellers just sold me a used Nüvi 760. The GPS was almost brand new! Tried to register it on my Nüvi account, was already registered. Contacted Garmin, friendly helpful people, long story, but finally got a message: the GPS was stolen. How often does that happen?

The recently introduced Garmin Nuvi 2460LMT takes some getting used to. I upgraded from the Street Pilot 2610.

The main reason for purchasing the 2460 was to utilize the Speed Warning feature, the Red Light and Speed Camera Alerts and the larger 5" screen.

There have been a few surprises along the way as I started using it and I would like to hear from other users too.

I just got a Garmin 1350 LMT as an upgrade from my old TomTom. I downloaded and installed tons of custom POI files from poifactory. Now, how do I choose which of them I want to have icons show for on the map when I drive by them?

I do not want alerts foe these POIs. I simply want to see, for example, a McDonalds logo on the map when I drive by one.

Thank you for your help!!!

Can the Garmin maps be run on an SD Card? If they can, how do you load them? Garmin support said it could be done but I wasn't near my computer at the time. I don't remember seeing an option to update to SD when running the Map Update. Are there more choices if you run it manually?
Thanks for any help...

I think I followed all instructions concernng the downloading of Poi files using POI downloader. At the end I got an error message. Now my computer cannot find my Zumo 550 and I can't even turn my Zumo off.

I would appreciate if somebody could help me.
