Garmin Nuvi 1450 for $129

Gander Mtn. has Nuvi 1450's on sale for $159 with a $30 rebate added. Your final cost would be $129. That's a heck of a price.
I bought a 1450 ten months ago from Amazon.com for about $175 and I just love it. That Gander Mtn. price is spectacular.

Bye-bye Garmin?

So, I've been using Garmin for about 15 years. For the most part I've been happy with them--good products, somewhat reasonable prices, decent customer service.

move preprogrammed sd card to microsd card

Is there a hack to move the contents of a pre-programmed Garmin SD card (plug and play street maps) to a microSD card???

I have City Navigator Europe NT that I've used with the nuvi 350. The nuvi 350 has since died. I now have a nuvi 3760LMT that has a microSD slot.

Is there a way to copy the maps from the SD to the microSD and have it usable on the nuvi 3760LMT ?

Nuvi 760 routes

Does anyone know where saved routes are stored in this Nuvi? I mean when you go into the GPS memory via a computer.

Found out how to speed up download

If you look at the text below my 'Thanks' you'll see the items I block in my router...

I found out a while back that this SLOWS DOWN map transfers from Garmin....

My 'fast fix' is to unblock all and do the download...

Anybody know which of these when blocked, slows down Map Downloads to a crawl?

Thanks

Map download to Micro SD card

Anybody knows if it is possible to download or place map updates in your Micro SD card?

2350LMT

Does anyone like this unit for $179? I searched and there was a long review, but wondering if folks out there are using it. Would be upgrading from a 660. Thanks.

Recommend a new Nuvi

Hi everyone,

I've been a Nuvi 350 user for years now and works very well for my needs. What current model would you recommend to a family member/friend?

NEW Garmin nulink 2390 coming sometime this year?

3D traffic data, Google search thanks to its GSM radio and tether your phone to it using Bluetooth for hands-free calls. It also has voice recognition software.

Nuvi 350 and SD card size.......help me!!!! :)

Hi all

This is probably a regular question. I have a Garmin Nuvi 350(second hand). It came with a SanDisk 512MB MicroSD card. I bought a Verbatim 4GB SDHC class 4 card yesterday. The only problem is that the Nuvi won't recognise the new card. It is recognised by Windows when I connect the Nuvi to the computer.

I did the Garmin WebUpdater - it says I have the latest software installed.

red light alerts

Unable to download any red light alerts mp3 or wav, indicated it beening dl but nothing happens.

POI Megafile for Garmin?

I'm sure many here are familiar the the 'POI Megafile' that is available for use in MS Streets & Trips. It contains an incredible number of groups of POIs. And there is at least one .csv version of it available. BUT, as a single .csv file, if I load it into my Garmin I'll get just one category of POIs (thousands of POIs appearing at once).

Does Garmin Really Pay Attention?

If you post corrections on the Garmin website, do they really do anything with them? Has anybody ever received any kind of response after posting?

Found the Satelittes status on my 3790.

On my old Garmin, if it was taking awhile for satelites to show up, I could touch the bars and I'd get a sky map of the the satelites, my car, the sun, the moon as well as an indication of how accurate (30 feet, 14 feet etc.).

Garmin says maps are old.

Hello! Is it possible to stop my Garmin Nuvi telling me that the maps are old? I do not need to buy new ones now. What I have is good for me. Thank you.

What's the difference between ...

What's the difference between a TourGuide alert and a non-TourGuide alert? I've got a couple of my custom POI files defined as TourGuide files. When I load all of my custom POI's in manual mode I set the TourGuide alert for, say, "Wineries" at one mile, everything works as I imagine they should - I get alerted when I get within a mile of a winery.
