Garmin talk

woe is me - i used a knockoff motorola charger instead of the Garmin car adapter because I was goin to jury duty and the battery in the unit was dying and the cord was in the other car. It looks like the phone charger fried my good ole friend the 750 when I plugged it into the USB port.

My nuvi 1350 will not alert me to POI's I have loaded in my unit. Anyone able to tell me why and what I need to do to correct it

Loaded the latest POI loader. Have never had problems loading my POI files contained in my POI Folder. Now, the loader pauses when it reaches 70% to 71% and that's all she wrote ! It says 40 secons remaining and 50 minutes later it's still there. I have a Garmin 1450 and with 8GB microSD card. Never have had problems loading before until trying the latest Loader.

While cleaning up my Nuvi 650 files, I noticed a XML.doc for Garmin device in the list. What is this file and what does it do? Should I delete it? Save it then delete it and see what happens? Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Norm

I hear very well. I can compute distance, space and time in my head (well close enough). Why do I have to be warned twice of a pending turn? How do you cut down on all the stupid alerts, warnings. I do not have to be told twice, much less THREE or FOUR times about a coming event! The first time I used a street pilot I turned off the voice alerts. Tell me one time thats it.

I bought the 1490LMT for my brother... he really likes the convenience of the bluetooth, but he's having trouble with the volume adjustment... he says that if the volume is up over 80%, the navigating voice distorts... at the same time the bluetooth is not loud enough... I know my nuvi 295W has a balance control for navigation and music player...

Ok, well due to mother in law in hospital, we've done alot of interstate traveling to "the big city" (we live in rural area) and the wife has realized GPS isn't good enough, seeings how she hates it already because we have to pay for new maps. She happen to see one on tv and started looking on net and found out that there are ones that show what lane to be in and has to have one!

I have a nuvi 885T and recently started getting a "Route Calculation Error". Everytime I enter a location the unit starts the route calculation but always ends with the error. I have called Garmin and they walked me through a reset procedure, that did not fix the problem. All maps and firmware are up to date. Any ideas on how to fix the issue?

What is photo navigation and what is the benifit in using it? (Garmin 2360 LMT)

Seems my 765T is toast. Works through the car plug but doesn't show the battery meter. I think it did before? Plug it into the puter and all i get is Garmin logo and then white screen, back and forth for 5 minutes or so, then goes black. Disconnect the battery I get nothing. 2460

I have Garmin GPS devices and recently acquired an Audi with a built in Nav system. Does anyone know of a method to import my existing waypoints into their system? The dealer was not aware of any and the manual did not discuss this topic. The system does have an available hard drive with 40 gb memory so storage is not a problem.

This subject has probably been beat to death... I will apologize upfront if it has... I just purchased the nuvi 1390t about a week ago. I still have my 255w which is a great unit... in fact, I love all my nuvi's.

I'm thinking about upgrading my StreetPilot c580 to Nuvi 1370T ... Any suggestions?

I'm a big fan of OpenStreetMap, and have found that it often contains more detailed data in many areas. The big drawback seems to be street numbering... street numbers are usually missing so you can't ask for a route from 123 Green Spring Lane to 456 Willow Grove Way. For that, you still need the Garmin map.

Hi to All,

Nuvi 1370T ON SALE! TODAY ONLY.

Lifetime US and European Maps:

When installing a red light camera file, do you install it on the sd card or on the gps internal memory.

Has anybody in POI-Factoryland seen any sort of real discount for either the:

nuMaps Lifetime EUROPE (Garmin part number:010- D0130-00)

or the

City Navigator EUROPE NT one time update (Garmin part number: 010-D0026-03)???

I would be happy with any format as long as it is recent.

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Cheers,

I have been looking at the garmin page I need to either give my 1390T to my wife and replace it or I take it and put it under the back tired and give it a proper reTIREment (ha burn out humor) , but in either case I want to REPLACE IT.

So what is the best, bad A??ed Garmin available.

Just updated my Garmin 1390T for the first time since life time update purchase,and lost all favorites. Also no longer have the voice of Jack. Now only lists voice of Jill who I cant understand. How do I get Jack and favorites back?
