Garmin talk

I created a route using mapquest, and did a "send to gps" from the mapquest page. I get a message that the .gpx file was successfully sent to the 350, but when I look for the route, filename, etc. I do not see it on the 350. What am I doing wrong?

Do any of you use a CB while traveling? 40 years ago everyone had one but I don't see them anymore.

Let me tell you my story... I started with a Garmin GPS ColorMap in 1999 – a few years later I replaced her with a 2620, the 2620 was replaced by the 770 that I purchased for myself (European maps), a 760 that I purchased for my wife, and a 750 that I purchased for my son.

Hi!
New to this in car gps so bear with me. Purchased a Nuvi 1340 in the UK with the European map set on and also a micro sd card with the North America maps on. Thought it would be neater if I could put the North America maps on the internal memory (there seems to be space) and use the micro sd slot for the poi's. Can this be done; if yes, how?

Thanks in advance

I did a not so good move today...I was deleting voices and adding vehicles and somehow or another, i deleted the file named gmapbmap.img off my garmin c530. I have searched high and low to try to retrieve the file, and now I am worried that I bricked the GPS. I found one online to download from garmin, but it was 100+ mb. The file I deleted was like 6 or so.

We have just returned from travel to Rochester, Niagara Falls (both US & Canadian sides, Canadian vineyards, Toronto, the Thousand Islands, Ottawa, North Conway, NH, & the Maine coast at Wells (just south of Kennebunkport).

The trip was great, despite the warm weather we're having on both sides of the border. The Nuvi performed well but not flawlessly.

I have a Nuvi 880, but have used computer-based navigation for years (e.g. Delorme's Street Atlas) while RVing. I am trying to determine the value of using custom POIs on my Nuvi (such as Walmart POIs). So far, I have two conclusions:

Is there a hack to set Garmin Nuvi 350 to open with map automatically so I wouldn't have to tap on the screen each time I start the car? Garmin support people told me it can't be done, but has someone heard of a hack to do this?

Still being pretty new to the 1690 and also to the world of POIs, I have a few questions:

1) If I get a GPX POI file that includes prox alerts... and use the manual mode in POILoader to select the warning distance... which will take precedence? The built in distance or what I use during manual mode?

Hope the question makes sense.

I go to google maps and create a custom map. Then i go to send and there is no tab to send this map to my garmin? Do the same thing in Mapquest and the the tab shows up Hit send the transfer is done. Create the custom map in my garmin but when i preview the map it re organizes my custom map and takes a different route.

Costco.com has the Garmin 1690 on their website. Not a great price but it's Costco. JR(through Amazon) has the Garmin EcoRoute for $99.00. The $99.00 price is good until the end of the month.

i set up my route using Google Maps, and loaded it into my Garmin NUVI 1300 but i did it more than once, and i only need one of the maps, but i need to know which map i am deleting. how can i view the map without waiting so long is simulation mode?

I am trying to find a POI file for the cycle hire stations in London and would appreciate a lot if anybody could upload.
Many thanks!

Anyone having issues with getting the custom sounds to work with this nuvi for POI's? I have an 855 and it works fine, tried on my new 1690 and it does not work. Can anyone get it to work?

I have downloaded the FlyingJ POI using the Garmin POI loader. When done it says I have successfully added the POI file to the Gamin 650. When I travel I never see the POI on the GPS, so I am still using the road signs. Do I have to do something different to make the Flying J POI's show on the GPS maps? joesabeh@gmail.com

I see the Lifetime map updates on Amazon is currently $79.95.

From the threads I've seen, this is actually a pretty low price. I'm curious if the current price is the lowest anyone has seen or if it has gone lower? What's the lowest price the Lifetime Maps have ever been?

Thanks.

When I got a Nuvi 205 and did a One time update to NT 2010.10 my computer downloaded a file called Garmin_RMU_CNNANT2010C.exe, which installed the new map on the Nuvi 205 and it installed MapSource with the same version of map as the GPS unit onto my computer.

Does anyone know of a way to get the audio out from a Garmin Nuvi 265WT to a Chatterbox (wired not bluetooth) Motorcyle Intercom?

Anybody have this device? I realize that it is small screen, but that really isn't an issue for me. I'm sick of my Nuvi 855 dying on me, and am looking at this device (to keep the price down).

Just completed an 18 hundred mile trip. While on the trip, I noticed that on a number instances when coming back on to the Interstate from a fuel or rest stop, that my Garmin seemed confused. The map would show the proper route, and the proper way to turn. The voice direction would tell me to go in the opposite direction.

Has anyone else experienced this confussion?
