routes from mapsource to nuvi
I successfully created two routes on Mapsource. They were transferred to my unit. When I select "Where to" "routes", It says, "No routes are available." Where are they on my 1490?

What happens when you install red light camera POI's into a Nuvi that already has Garmin's "Safety Camera" database?
Would they conflict with each other? Would they both give off alerts? Or does Garmin's version need to be removed?

Bluetooth in the 660
I haven't connected it to my computer to check for updates for several months. Today when it turned on in the car the 660 went into a "Bluetooth Firmwear Update" all by itself. I find this interesting. Apparently Garmin can communicate with the unit thru satelite. I thought they did this when it was connected to the computer.

Miles Per Hour Number on Nuvi 880
My Nuvi 880 gives a MPH number that is about 5 mph slower than the odometer on my 2008 BMW 328. I assume that German engineering is more accurate than a Chinese made device but that may be cultural prejudice. I hope the Garmin is more accurate so I can go faster. 
Any thoughts?

Hmmm, Washington is no longer part of USA?
Weird thing going on with my Nuvi 200W...I did a trip from PA to WA this weekend, Washington does not exist in my Nuvi? Washington is the only one I tried, it could be affecting more than just Washington.

Which Nuvi displays upcoming cross street on top when not navigating?
It is a feature I sorely miss. I am thinking about getting rid of my piece of crap 765T. If I upgrade, this is a feature I would like to have back.

765T Bluetooth problems: pairs without problems, but no sound!
I recently got a new phone from Verizon Wireless, the Pantech Jest. I decided try out the bluetooth feature on my 765T.
The pairing process went smoothly. Once paired, all the usual features showed up: phonebook, last number dialed, voice dail, etc...

Wal Mart POI
Is anyone else having problems loading the WalMart POI File? I get an error on line 339. I looked at the line and there is no obvious error. So I tried again and still got the error. I then deleted the line (339) but I still get the error. This is using the last file posted.

Nüvi 750 back-up.
Never paid attention to backing up my Nüvi until I ran into a problem, solved it, but the question remains: How do we back-up this device (I mean totally)? Is it possible except for preferences etc., and if yes, how do we do it? And last but not least: Recovery back on the device if something goes totally wrong (Like ghost/image)!

Junction View, 3D and Timezones on Nuvi 250 & 760
I've not been too active with the GPS recently and am out of the technical loop. I'm fairly sure that it is not possible to use the Junction View, 3D View and the Timezones functions on a Nuvi 250 or Nuvi 760. I've done a few searches on here with those keywords and haven't found a definitive statement on it.

Just curious of other Garmin models has had this problem.Driving South on I-95 entering SC from NC.Better known as South of the Boarder.For a short period of time my unit appears to get lost and has to re-calculate the route.This has happen on two occasions with two different map versions.Only going South.If someone is bored maybe you can do a simulation mode and see if you get same results.Been a
