Garmin Nuvi battery recall - get a free battery?
Hi,
This might be old news, but I just ran across this:
https://my.garmin.com/rma/recallLanding.faces
Garmin has recalled certain model Nuvis to replace the battery.
One types in the serial number to see if it covered by the recall.
Unfortunately, my Nuvi is not covered - so no free battery for me

Adding more memory to a Nuvi?
Hi,
My Nuvi 750 has 2GB of internal memory with very little free space. The latest 2012 map update worked, but I can see the possibility that future map updates will not fit.
I am also using a 8GB SDHC card for POIs, and I suppose maps can also be placed on the SDHC card.

Raising the volume on a 660 nuvi??
Can anybody tell me how to set the volume louder than the usual 100%? I had sent one to some one and they internaly adjusted the volume level so the unit can be heard over the big diesel motor.

Nuvi 3790LMT overheating?
Rather than buy new maps, I am considering moving from my four-yaear old Nuvi 650 to the Nuvi 3790LMT.
Looking at reviews of this GPS on Amazon.com and cnet, I repeatedly see concerns about the unit being extremely hot. Almost too hot to touch.

Battery Replacement
I finally got up enough nerve to replace the battery on my 765T! I followed the instruction video over youtube.com, it was a snap, and surprise of surprises, it works! I also have to do the same thing to a 760, should be no problem. Much, much cheaper than sending it off to Garmin, and it's as good as new.

Conversation with Executive Office of Ford Re: USER POI's on GPS's in Fords
I don't know what the procedure is on duplicate posts, but since this isn't just Garmin Related, I'll post this in both forums......
I Complained considerably in a letter to Ford Exes about my new Escape not having the capability of User POI's, even though they have a Bi-Directional USB port and do accept programs and data from the USB port.

poi proximity alerts have changed? technology?
Went from a 660 to a 2350. The proximity alerts used to go off as I went over a red light cam on an overpass, it no longer does. Also, it used to go off when I was one avenue parallel from a cam, and it no longer does. So to prove that they even work at all on the 2350, I ran a red light. It did go off. j/k

Red light and speed cameras
I don't see that the Red light and speed cameras are working on my new 1490LMT. I am familiar with POI Loader and installed files along with 20 or so other Custom POI's. This file worked great on my old Streetpilot C330. I know it isn't working though because I go by the same light a couple times a week and it popped up with the C330 and now I have nothing.... Any suggestions/fixes??? Thanks

2012.10 tracking me not...on the road!
OK, got 2012.1 on my 3760 and now it's not tracking my position like it did before. I haven't figured out if it's going to hurt me or not, but my car Icon is now beside my route line, not on it like it should be. It also isn't happening all the time just close to intersections.
Anyone notice it yet, if so what did you do?

Left Exit or Right Exit Based on Time of Day
I frequently drive through a junction from an eastbound exit to a northbound exit. One can take either a left exit or a right exit to make this transition. During HOV hours, the left exit is only accessible to HOV vehicles, as it is meant for use by the HOV lane users. HOV hours end at 0930.

Downloading new voices
I just started using a Garmin nuvi 1390 that I got as a present. I'm new to the whole "GPS for the car" thing, but so far it's been fun and useful. Is it possible to download additional voices for my nuvi? I didn't see a lot of everyday options on the Garmin website (I certainly don't want to listen to SpongeBob or a squirrel all the time!)

2012.1 Duplicate Cities
I noticed a weird problem since I installed the 2012.10 maps.
I find that when I search for a city, my 885T returns two cities with the same name. For example there are two Ottawa's , two Toronto's, two Sudbury's, and two of my hometown Barrie.

Downgrade Upgrade - what can I do?
Ever since I bought it and through one map upgrade my Nuvi 350 has covered all of Europe including the UK and Ireland. I have just paid for a lifetime upgrade only to find (after purchase) that the upgrade needs more memory than my appliance has available. I have had to remove northern Europe and the UK from my coverage to accommodate the upgrade.

Lost Custom Vehicle After Upgraded Nuvi to 6.20
FYI...
After upgrading my Nuvi 350 to the latest software from the Garmin site, I noticed my custom vehicle was no longer displayed and wasn't selectable, even though it was still in the vehicle folder. I found that if you restore a copy, overwriting the existing file, it will once again be usable. Just throwing it out there!
Lifetime traffic! (advertisements)
Is it possible to avoid the advertisements popping up on Nüvi 1370T and 2370LT
AND: Is it possible to use Tourguide POI in these models, as in Nuvi 760?
Nüvi 765T, Nüvi 1390T, Nüvi 2559 and 2695 LMT, GPS12, GPS18 (used in nRoute and Oziexplorer on laptop), GPSmap76CSx, SonyEricsson X1 (For OziExplorer CE maps)
