Garmin talk

I have downloaded the POI for Harley Davidson Dealers and cannot figure out how to install it on the Nuvi 850.

This may be old news but first time I noticed it.When you put in more then two locations in any order it will give option to optimize the route.Lots of options also to send to different devices once you complete the route. http://www.mapquest.com/routeplanner

When the POI you are interested in is a .gpx only file, and you need a .csv file.....

What do you do???

Yesterday I noticed that there was no signal for the NuLink service, merely just an "X" there. I know it was working on Friday 10/3. Unit has only been registered since June of this year, so it's not an expiration issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I thought I'd check here before trying to contact Garmin. Everything else on the unit seems fine.

So I'm installing maps on my 60CSx, and the process tanks because MapInstall couldn't detect a GPS attached to the computer. This is not the first time this has happened and it is annoying. The install process has to be restarted.

So, what causes the connection to fail, and how can I prevent it from happening again?

Because of the recent major price drops for Lifetime Maps, I finally broke down and purchased it. I've read most of the forums regarding whether or not it is worth buying etc. What confuses me is when I downloaded and installed the update the older version remained on my computer. When I go into Mapsource I notice both files are available. Is it okay to delete the older file?

As I use it on my normal riding around, I find it to be better than 2011.2 and 2008.

It is faster on recalcs, and in general seems to be faster.

Hmmm....Did anyone else purchase the Garmin Nuvi 1450 LMT via Target online and recently got a notice that they made a mistake about it being bluetooth....Kind of shady to me. Even though they gave it to me the same price, now I have to wait after Xmas...

Hard resetting my US 3790 running firmware v3.60 and changing the locale to Australia (done at bootup immediately after the hard reset/clear all user data) *enables the auto zoom on/off toggle feature* that some users are mentioning in other forums. Go figure. The auto zoom enable/disable is under Tools>Settings>Navigation>Automobile>(arrow-down)Auto Zoom.

I've been having trouble with my Garmin lifetime traffic. It's been flaky. No signal. Gray icon. I do think this whole system just doesn't work that well. But I got some helpful information from Garmin and it definitely helped. I have much better traffic now.

If you have flaky unreliable traffic data maybe this will help you.

Nuvi 765T. FW upgrade to 4.0 fixed typing delay. But Language Guide no longer speaks. I seem to remember someone else had posted similiar problem. But after searching for quite a while, I cannot find that post.

Anyway, does anyone know of a fix for this?

I know that my 260 doesn't use Routes so how do I use Mapquest and then send to my 260? Do I still save as Route or do I save as Waypoint? Also where do I then find this info on my Nuiv when I want to use it? Also should I save it to the unit itself or the External Card I have added or does it matter?

Thanks

I just bought a 465t and was wondering if someone could help me put my saved poi's from my 350 on the 465t? I have over 250 saved poi's I would like to transfer to the 465t, so any help would be appreciated.

I sent my nüvi 760 in for the battery recall. The replacement unit "creaks" when I handle or squeeze it. Also, the touch screen seems to have much more "give" to it than the original.

I had a 760 which was lost/stolen. I replaced it with another one which needed the battery recall done. Neither of those units creaked or had "give" to the touch screen. They were both like rocks.

Anyone looking for the older favorite 765T, here is a deal.
Garmin 765T $129.99 at Newegg (recertified) with free shipping.

I have an old 760 and my main issue with it is that sometimes it may take several minutes to lock onto the satellite. I have updated it as much as I can figure out. So I'm considering one of the newer units with traffic and lifetime maps and wondering if the newer models have improved the lock-on time? Seems like tomtom is faster.

With my 1490T I seem to have "recurring-deleted favorites syndrome."

Favorites that I delete somehow re-appear on my favorites list. Sometimes, after I have replaced a favorite with an "updated" favorite with address information, for example, the "old" favorite without the address re-appears, and the new one is gone. Sometimes they BOTH show up.

Wonder what is the wait on the promissed 2300 series, Amazon has a 4 to 5 week wait on units that were supposed to come out on fourth quarter.

PCNation doesn't even have it for pre-order.

Has anyone seen them advertised at other places?

I have a 660 and the ribbon from the antenna to the main body riped (self inflicted). Other than buying a new antenna, anyone know where to find a ribbon? Simple fix, difficult to find...
