Garmin talk

I just received my Nuvi 1390LMT and started using blue-tooth. My phone is not capable of syncing the phone book. Is their a way to make a phone book list without having to set them as favorites with a lat/long position. It would be nice to have quick access to a phone book style list to call numbers not associated with a favorite location.

I updated my maps last night and now when my 1690 tries to restart I get the message "Loader Loading" at the top of my screen. Also I cannot see the garmin when connected to my computer. Any suggestions?

I remember my other old GPS have pages show the status of satellites, including how many satellites can be seen and the signal strengths. However, I am not able to find the info on the 1490T, nor have seen the instruction in user's guide. Can someone help?

My nuvi 680 GPS fell out of a pocket in my jacket when I was taking it off. Although the fall was probably from about 3 feet, my GPS suffered no external signs of damage and it works fine when plugged into the car adapter. However, the unit no longer runs on battery power. It worked just fine before the "drop test." Does anyone have any ideas? Thx!

Hello again,

Well you all certainly helped me with downloading the alert sounds,
thanks again, now my problem is that I can't hear them. I am using a NUVI 1450
and it has alert sounds for the POIs I have loaded but that is all
it provides as they appear. Can you all give me a hand with this
one? I'm sure I'm not doing something correctly. I do know that I have

I know there are other posts dealing with the issue; however, does anyone know a reasonable way to transfer the MP4 to MP3 files as the new iTunes seems to convert EVERYTHING to MP4 regardless of whether it is copy protected or not.

Hi - I am new to the forum and have a question. Can I generate a GPX file on the Nuvi 360 and see it on google earth?

My job is taking me to Australia after the holidays (Melbourne primarily). I'll be spending most of January there. Garmin wants $130 or so for Australian maps. Since it's not likely I'll be returning (at least not anytime soon) it's difficult to justify $130 for 3 or 4 weeks of use. Do I have any options that would let me use my 885T? Someone told me Garmin sells time limited copies of maps.

I would like to copy the POIs I have on my 1490T to my 1490LMT. Does any one know if this can be done? If so, how? I'd like to avoid starting from scratch on the 2nd unit. Thanks!!

After weeks of flawless performance, my new 1490LMT has started to give me the silent treatment.

No more sound at all, not even the little "beeps" when pushing the on-screen buttons.

Mute is not on, the volume is set to 70%.

When I go to the "Audio Test Page" there is a message INCOMPATABLE AUDIO." That message is always there, no matter how that page looks when I leave it.

I have had Garmin GPS devices for several years now. Today I test drove a a Dodge Grand Caravan with a Garmin-Built GPS Automotive Navigator in the dash. We actually already have a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and I specifically did not get a factory GPS because I wanted one that can be moved from vehicle to vehicle.

I have a Garmen nuvi 265WT. I just downloaded the updates and new maps for 2011. In mygarmin.com, I tried to download some extras. It said there are none for this device. I thought that was a little strange. Then, when I started looking through the gps afterwards, my extras option is there, but has no data. Why is there no data, and why can't I download new stuff into my extras?

I have a 885T I know you can turn up the volume by holding down the battery icon and that will take you to another screen, but i don't remember how to turn the vol up. The sound on the bluetooth is real bad.

So I remember seeing the 1690 come out and then it looks like the 1695 is out. Not much else, though. They seem to be releasing another line or two and nulink is nowhere to be seen.

It looks to me like the 1690/1695 were sort of test marketed with nulink and, for better or worse, people don't seem to want to pay for the extra services so we won't be seeing much more in the way of nulink.

I just bought the 265wt and went to the Garmin site to update the unit with the Onetime™ City Navigator® North America NT 2011*.

Once I get to the map update section, it tells me that I only have enough space for Canada and US border states.

I currently have a 760 that has been out of commission for a few months (too cheap to buy the windshield mount and cable which was broken by a folding seat).

I am new to the GPS world, but I am pretty good/quick at figuring things out. I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 265WT. So far, I am happy with it, but I have one disappointment with it.

Does traffic re-routing only work if the traffic icon is red?

Hello all,

Hi all,

I just bought a C340. When I load .wav files along with .csv files with same name, I only get attention tone. I
didn't hear saying "Redlight Camera Ahead".

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
