Garmin talk

My garmin 350 does a very poor job in the south jersey areas. I called tech support about the mapping on my 350 and the tech was very helpful. She looked up the addresses of the places my 350 could not find at all and told me the map that came with my gps did not have these routes listed when I purchased the unit in Oct 2007 for $400.00!!! Said I needed the 2011 map update.

Is it possible to have more than one POI on Garmin GPS.
I had one on when I added WalMarts it deleted the previous. I am new to this so???? TKS

Thank you ALL for your input I will look at adding to my Garmin in a much different way

Garmin earnings were just released, and the stock is down 6%.

Basically, the worst performance is US personal nagivation devices. Migration seems to be toward cellphone navigation, which Garmin tried unsucessfully to enter, and failed.

I don't get it. Can someone explain why you prefer to pay $10 a month for cellphone navigation, instead of a standalone GPS?

Hey all, i'm looking a new GPS Garmin 2360. Any idea when will that be available? thx

I've had my ecoRoute HD connected to my 1490LMT for several weeks now without a single connection problem. I love this thing but this week my patience was tested.

Monday morning I noticed that the 1490 had not connected to the ecoRoute HD. No problem I figured, just re-establish the connection. Nope, it wouldn't. Grrr.

This morning I found a workaround at the page below.

Recently, when looking to replace my lost/stolen nüvi 760, I was surprised to find that none of the new units offered a line-out jack to allow using the unit through a car stereo. It leads me to wonder how the volume/clarity of these new units compares to my older 760.

When I was considering my purchase of my 1490T, and reading reviews on Amazon, I thought one of the reviewers mentioned that it was possible to turn OFF the traffic component.

However, I don't see any place I can do this. Is there some "non-consumer" secret screen I can access that will let me do this?

i have had a Tom Tom for 4 years, just the basic model, recently its been playing up so i bought a garmin Nuvi 245
i know they get good reviews but i cant get on with it,on several trips now its taken me miles out of the way, i cant get it to not use motorways but still try for quickest, it does not show distance to destination just estimated arrival time

I recently broke down and purchased a map update for my StreetPilot 2730, which I have owned since 2006. Initially, I had trouble loading the updated maps due to space constraints, although eventually I overcame this after figuring out how to delete the old maps.

Considering getting one, I have a 265W currently. Interested in the lifetime maps and traffic. Anyone have one that can advise?

I just bought my 3rd Garmin. My first a 360 my last an 850 and this is the 1490LMT.
MI haven't driven around with the new one very much, but have played with it some and I find some of the new features pretty kewl. some of the old features I used to like are gone. are gone.

Last week there was talk about an upcoming new map Release.....

Did it happen?

I have successfully (I think) loaded a couple of POI files and their icons to my 3790T. The icons do appear when I zoom to 200' or closer, but even then they are a mere colored spec that if I did not know what the icon was you certainly couldn't tell. Zooming closer has no effect on the icon size. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to make these appear larger?

Thanks!

i anyone seen the new passort iq radar. i how it stacks up to the garmin units.

Garmin needs to fix the problem of the 3790 not saving poi's when you eject or safely remove the unit from the usb cable. In order for the unit to save the data you have to remove the usb cable from the unit without safely disconnecting or ejecting the unit. Minor problem, but one that needs addressing.

I was wondering whether, whilst in the USA, I should use a voice associated with the USA maps. I am using the English (female) voice at the moment and she has problems with some of the city and town names in the US. Are voices and speech optimized for various regions?

Logged on to Garmin tonight and checked for updates (went there to update MapSource not the 660) and the site said an update for the 660 was available.

Thought I was up to date. Did I miss one? Unit says SW Ver. 4.90. Could have been a Traffic update.

I have had problems with the Garmin instructions on my last three trips heading west on I 70 toward Tulsa while entering St. Louis, MO. I found myself twice on city streets for several miles to acquire I 44. This last trip I ignored the Garmin and followed signs to Tulsa and had a quick trip through St. Louis. Am I hearing wrong or is there an issue.

Pretty Sweet, with 2 yr nu-link.

I'm debating getting a city or two but I'm curious about updates. Public transportation times and routes change pretty frequently so I'm wondering of this includes free updates...or if my NuMaps would get me updates, or if there are updates available at all.
