1490T Update Problem

I own a Garmin Nuvi 1490T.
This morning, I attempted to use the web updater to update to software version 4.6.
The web updater completed correctly.
I unplugged my GPS and it started to boot back up.
Now, the GPS is stuck at a screen that says Loader Loading...
and there is a garmin logo.
I have let this sit for a long time, no change.
I tried powering off the unit, made no difference.

poi alerts messages

Is it possible and how to just hear the alert and not see the alert message itself (try to minimize display clutter from several alert message popups)in gpx and csv files for garmin? TIA,

Garmin email - numaps price cut on 21 Sep 2010

Greetings,

I just got an email from Garmin about numaps City Navigator NA NT update price drops!

The new Garmin list price for lifetime map updates is $89.99 for either card or download. They also say the OneTime update has dropped in price but Garmin's site won't tell me for sure although one page says $49.99.

Let's hope the 3rd party sellers soon revise their prices downwards, too.

Garmin GPSs Recall.

I just received an e-mail from Amazon.com that there is a recall for some gpss. There was a link that took me to a Garmin page where I could insert the Ser. number of my gps and I got a message that mine does not fall in the category. Did anybody else get this from Amazon.com?

Strange "Catagories" created in Favorites on my 1490T

I'm having a strange problem with my 1490T and I'm stumped as to the cause.

When I access my Favorites, I see the various catagoies I've created along with “All Favorites”, but the unit generates its own catagories.

Here is the current set.

POI name veiwable on Map without selecting ???

I work with a Power company and have placed our entire GIS map on the Nuvi... I have created around 40,000 POIs in a folder named "Transformer". I have these listed in a Custom folder and would like to figure out a way to have the "Name of the POI" pop up at a certain speed range or stay viewable until zoomed out to a level of about .3 miles or so....

Unlocking maps

I lost my eTrex Vista C, left it on the truck lid after a bike ride actually.
I bought a new one.
Went to download maps and they are locked?
Can I unlock them to download to the new E-trek?

It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of our running and all of our cunning If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

Duplicate Last Positions

When I download my tracks from my 765T I get multiple "Last Position" POIs. I probably have 4 or 5 at various spots. How do I delete those from my GPS?

What are all the 71's on the map?

Using MapSource 6.16.2, and I have the CNNT 2008, 2009 and 2011.1 maps installed. When set for "Higher" or "Highest" detail, all these "71" show along various roads. If I switch maps, there are along other roads. What do you suppose this is all about? See the picture for what I'm talking about.

My old trusty and rusty Garmin

My old trusty and rusty Nuvi 350 locked up on me for the first time ever. The screen didn't update or move for about 30 seconds while driving...it was really unsettling. Since this is an older model and it's the first time it ever did this (that I'm aware of anyways), does this mean it's beginning to break down?

A mystery

Travel from A to B and my Garmin takes me by, what seems, the most direct route. Drop off a package and return home and, for a large part of the route, it sends me a totally different way. I reckon little time difference either way but what is the logic that makes the Garmin do this?

Any thoughts?
