Garmin talk

I just purchased at 1490LMT and got it all updated and whatnot, and so far everything is pretty dope! Only thing is, the voices are bugging the fire out of me. I need something more realistic and less...fake? I had been borrowing my roommates Tomtom, and there was quiet a large bank to chose voices from, and there were pretty good. The 1490 has three I believe.

Another thread has detailed some problems with POILoader 2.6.0 NOT being able to load POI files which POILoader 2.5.4 accepted.

I want to suggest a strategy for downloading Garmin software that might reduce the stress that seems apparent in many of the users of the new version.

Ok my question is I have a nuvi 760 and would like to have the topo maps of Az on the sd card.. Ok so does the map show only when the card is in or will it lay it over the city map or install it in the unit.. Garmin has them for $99 or so depending on how many states. I am just getting into off roading and it would be nice to see the trails I am on. thanks for any input you all may have.

I use an aircard for my internet access and have a monthly 5 GB data limit. I need to update my map file and it say's the update will run about 3 hours. Does anyone know how large the file is?

A few days ago i read on here how to do the splash screen, went through the steps and everything worked great for a day. I was up loading some new poi,s with the updated poi loader yesterday and now for some reason i have no splash screen. I dont even get the original garmin one to come up, i just have a black screen till the warning message comes on.

I know there is a forum on this subject but I'm not sure how much attention it gets. But was just wanting someone to test out a vehicle I made. Well it's not a vehicle It's Garfield the cat. Yeah I'm a die hard Garfield fan lol.

Haven't been on the boards for sometime but IMMM back

Ok just bought the 1350 and went to put in wav sounds and the p0 loader would not reconize the file. So my question is does the 1350 have the ability to do wav and if so what do I do Thanks.

I used my nuvi 760 on two trips this week and both times it took a long time to switch between the "Favorites" screen and the "Go" screen after I selected a destination. I was using a traffic antenna power cord in Pittsburgh I don't normally use so I thought that might be an issue. But today the nuvi was in it's normal location in my SUV with the non-traffic cord.

Is there any way to get rid of the start up warning message (Do not attempt to enter route info while you are moving .....) Its not a big deal but just kinda of annoying.

Since updates are now automatic on my.garmin.com I don't see a text file or posting of what changes are made with each new version. I know this is always done but can't seem to track down where they are now posted. Can someone point me in the right direction for the Nuvi680? Not critical, just always curious about what is being changed.

Thanks

On several ocassions, I have had favorites that I have deleted show back up in the list.

Also, I connected the unit to my.garmin.com to check for map/software updates and everything was current, but after I turned the GPS on the next day, many options had been reset and additional favorites had been added - without my approval.

Things like Garmin corporate locations, etc.

With about two weeks worth of use on my new Garmin 1490LMT I already have a few feature suggestions.

Wonder if anyone has heard anything or seen any signs of new Zumo models for motorcycles. I went to the International Moto Show in Long Beach last December, but there was no hints of any new Zumo's. The current top models are hideously expensive, and I was hoping a technology refresh would increase capabilities and drop prices.

Hi, I'm Troy. And decided to join after browsing through the garmin forum a little.

I have a 295w on the way and was wondering if anyone that has this same model could tell me some of these things about it.

1. does it support the unique voices from the garmin site?
2. what kind of webpages can it view? along with which weather (radars).
3. how do you like yours?

I'm having a slight problem that maybe someone can help me with. I recently upgraded my maps and installed a software update from the Garmin website on my nuvi 350.

For years I've had a folder on my Mac entitled "My POIs" containing several sub-folders such as Addresses, Dining, Lodging, etc. The sub-folders contain different sets of POIs, such as in the "Dining" folder there are separate POIs for Italian, Oriental, American, etc.

In the past whenever I made a change in one of the separate POIs, Italian for example, I would use POI Loader v2.1.0 to upload the new "Italian" POI to my nuvi 350. Everything worked fine and the new POI was in the proper place, i.e., "Dining."

But now when the "Italian" POI is uploaded it replaces ALL of the other POIs. The only work-around I've found so far is to upload the entire "My POIs" folder. Can anyone tell what has caused this change? Although uploading the entire "My POIs" folder works, I would like to be able to upload individual POIs as in the past without having it delete all existing POIs.

I am planning a motorcycle ride this summer of the Lake Superior Circle Tour. Does anyone know of a Garmin GPS route that is available ??

Maybe this week?

Is there a limit to the number of POI files (or total size of them) on the StreetPilot 2720? If there is please explain how I can determine if the size limit has been reached.
