Garmin talk

I am a bit confused by the charging of my 1490 using an ac adapter (for my cell phone) that I used to charge my StreetPilot c340.

I would like to know if what I am seeing is "normal," or do I need to buy a special (Garmin) AC charger?

I purchased a Nuvi 1490T about 2 months ago and really like the features of the unit. Saturday I ordered a Nuvi 295W. Not for its GPS capabilities but for its WiFi capability. I have looked and looked at smart phones with their many features and realized the Nuvi 295W could meet my needs of on the go email retrieval every few hours by stopping at a McDonald or other site with free WiFi.

Thanks all for your response bout my prob with the low clearance weigh station alerts think I got now I had a lot of hits from yall showing me how to go bout it again Thanks...Now I got another one how bout a POI file of the day and night speed zones is there such an animal

Im trying to find out how to delete All of the data (maps) in my Data Folder on the 885.

Hi, i got my Nuvi 265WT about a week ago. Yesterday i tried to update it from the garmin website and everything worked correctly. I turned the nuvi on and it keeps saying "no data" and when i go to points of interest it just shows "spell name" with the ABC icon. Someone please help me to get the Nuvi back to the way it was, how can i fix this issue?, thank u.

I was on a long drive yesterday when I looked at my gps and noticed in the top left corner where it would show you which way u will turn ahead there was a orange flag there in stead. When I did get to that location nothing happened it just went away. Anybody know what that was ?

Well, after getting my previous Nuvi stolen at a hotel last year (long story), and not having it surface after reporting it to Garmin (Garmin lock works evidently), I'm buying a new unit.

I have never used the route feature on my 1490 and I want to try now. However sometimes I only know I want the route after I have done it so is there a way to create once you get to destination and realize you want to save?

Busy learning the ins and outs of the WalMart special, the nuvi 1100.

The closest family member of the 1100 is the 1200 (just doesn't have the text-to-speech). Also, cannot import routes from the MapSource program.

Other than that, it's ok so far.

I bought the 1300T yesterday out of necessity. My 255W was stolen so I needed something quickly for my job. I "upgraded" to the 1300T because it has Lifetime Maps and Lifetime Traffic (ad supported to my chagrin). This was a snap decision made in-store so I had no idea I needed to look for the speed limit feature. For crying out loud it was on the $120 255W.

We have had 1490s for most of the year. Latest one stolen in Philly by an elbow smashing PS window. Setting up new one. Have had the problem of not knowing when the unit reroutes because she thinks that traffic is ahead. Used it many timnes when she wants you to leave an interstate or other primary road to go down a back road because (I guess) she thinks it is a shorter milage distance).

Is there a way to get out of the safe mode on my Garmin 1450T?

how do i download sounds from this websites?

I put some jpg pictures on a micro sd card. One set of pictures is OK: I had "compressed" them a bit so they would load easily onto another device, my cell phone.

But the pictures that were "normal," that is still about 4MB in size, show up as a group, but when I try to look at any ONE of them, the screen stays blank.

This seems to make the picture viewer of limited interest to me.

I just got my NUvi 765T and i am a little unclear about using MSN Direct. (Yes, I know they will stop their service in Jan, 2012).

In old posts (2007-2009), someone said that the cables (FM receiver) for traffic and MSN were 2 different cables and the receiver for MSN has to be purchased.
It does not come with the 765T.

Is this still true?

I hope there are Garmim people that read this an do somthing about it. The 465T is rally nothing more then a standard Nuvi with a few added features pretaining to Heavy trucks in order to make it more appealing to us, the commercial tranportation market. It fails to measure up however.

I just sent a map from Mapquest to my 885 , it says it went thru but I can't find it. Does anyone know where it does go ?

Is it possible to selectively choose which POI have proximity alerts activated. I can only find an option to have proximity alerts for all custom POI turned on or off. RLCs and DDD locations might be nice but I don't need to know every time I'm about to pass a BoA.
