Hello To All Who ever Owns a Garmin Streetpilot 2610 Why Can't I buy a New Map Update CD From Garmin My Maps ON The GPS Is 2008
Thanks Auggie

Hi Folks. I'm trying to remember how to update the red light files to your Garmin? Specifically, where are they? I can't find them.
Haven't posted in a long time. Is that why?

Am recommending this site to a friend who is a Professor downtown and gets nailed by the app. 5-7 damn red light cameras on his way to work and back every day.

I just bought a Garmin nuvi 255 in addition to my nuvi 660. My 660 will show a red bar accross the top whenever I encounter a redlight/speed camera, etc and will announce my mp3 file (Warning red light camera). The 255 will not. It only beeps once and has a small gray dot. Is this specific to the 255 model?

Hey Guy's! uh Iv been having trouble playing video of my 1450, can anyone tell me what format I need to use and is it the same for a nuvi that runs SD campared to one the runs a micro-sd? Wishing all of you a Great Weekend!

Avast has found, for the 2nd time, a bit of malware in TTS Voice Editor. I do have TTS Voice Editor installed and I've used it several times without a problem. Now Avast doesn't like it. If memory serves, the first time it complained about v2.84, this time its 2.86.

I just finished installation of a software update to a Garmin 855 that is one of several Garmin GPS units we have. After completing the update, the unit displays that it has Software Version 4.70, GPS SW Version 2.90m, and Audio Version 2.60.

I installed the new POI loader, after loading the POIs and then turn on the Gps, it used to tell me that new POIs were loaded. It would then ask if I wanted to keep them. Now it does not do that. And when I go to "my locations & custom POIs" it shows me all the old POIs I had on the GPS and then goes into a second listing of all the new and old ones I had on it.

I have read on the web, that Garmin Mobile PC is discontinued. What a loss.

I am new to this but a friend told me to find sox.exe and download it to my POI files

One of the changes listed for POI Loader 2.6.0 is this:

"Added ability to handle swapped lat and lon values in CSV files".

On the Nuvi 295w, I haven't been able to see POIs on the maps until I am zoomed in to 200ft and 120ft. Is this the case for other 295 users? What about the other Garmins? Thanks

Cannot get Blueridge Parkway and Skyline Drive.gpx.htl to work on Garmin 3790LMT. I load it into my POIs with loader but nothing is there.

I tried opening the file (I am a Mac user) to look at it but it looks very different than my regular .cvs files.

What am I doing wrong??

We are planning on doing this trip in April and this would have been a godsend for us but??

Please help!

I'm a new Garmin 1490LMT owner. My traffic icon tends to show up intermittently. Per Garmin support's suggestion I have used the web updater to download the most recent firmware and have double checked the cord position and connection. Immediately after doing all that, I get the icon fairly regularly for a couple days then it's back to intermittent.

I am trying to create POIs for Massage Envy but the Description section doesn't want to display as multi line on my zumo 660 though it looks perfect in EPE v4.88. I tried 4 col csv and gpx formats. I also tried POILoaders 2.5.4 and 2.6.0 with the same results.

I have Topo Canada V2 maps but they are in a PC format. I went to Garmin's website and downloaded Map Converter to run on the PC to convert the maps to a Mac format. However, it doesn't work. I keep getting an error message of unable to locate the file even though all the maps are loaded on the PC from the CD's.

I went to mapquest and mapped out a destination and sent it to my Garmin Nuvi1300LM and now I can't find it on my Nuvi. It is a GPX file and I have looked everywhere I can think of on my Nuvi and I have had no luck. Is there anyone that can help me? I would like to put it in my "Favorites" if that is possible. Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi everyone,

I just bought a garmin 1490LMT and 2gb SD card. I'm wondering if there's a way to download the entire POI database from this site and load it on to my new Garmin. I notice that there are many different files available and would prefer to download all in one sweep every few months instead of picking and choosing each file/category. Please let me know, thanks!

Does anyone have a suggestions for making the battery life of a Garmin GPS last longer?

We just bought a new Garmin GPS and I want to ensure that the battery is getting properly charged and not over charged. In the past we had a Garmin and within a few months the GPS battery life on a full charge was less than 20 minutes.

It has long been said that the version of sox.exe has to be 14.0.1 in order for PoiLoader to work when using wav files.

For the heck of it, I tried the latest Sox.exe version (14.3.1) to see if it would work with PoiLoader 2.6.0

It did work but the three .dll files that come with the latest version of sox.exe also have to be copied to the PoiLoader folder.

Is there a way to speed up traveling from one to to another when in simulation mode on a 1490LMT?
