Garmin talk

Just talked to Garmin support. There is a problem with the 2010.20 map update that affects all 37xx Nuvi models.
The result is that no map update is available for these units today.

Garmin is working on a patch, which should be available in a day or so that will allow owners of the 37xx units to download the 2011.20 map update.

2011.20 was released today!

I just saw on SlickDeals that Amazon.com today has the 1450T, with NuMaps Lifetime included, for $199.99. Could be a good deal for someone who has been waiting?

I not looking to delete things from the recently found but the drop down menu that remembers cities (or places if looking via the POI section.

This must have been discussed previously but I can't find it. I just purchased the Lifetime Map Update and updated successfully, though I haven't tested my unit yet (it's 1:45 am right now...) My question is, when I go to the Garmin website, under myAccount > Map Downloads, it says that my "product" expires on Jul 28, 2011. How is that?

my HD arrived the other day and I had to wait until tonight to try it. I had many great expectations for this unit...really was looking forward to having the enhanced information. I read the directions, plugged it in, turned the car on...it took a while to connect but connect it did...have to admnit it was very cool...right up until it shut itself down.

I am totally new with GPS and have just purchased a refirbed 755T. I am trying to save a map from mapquest to my GPS but am having no luck, infact I can't save it in GPX or CSV. Is there a sticky or step by step some where?
Any help to get me on the right trail wil be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I recently did a Mapquest Route and it shows it being uploaded to my Nuvi 260. Where does this Route appear on my GPS when I want to use it? I thought is was under "Favorites" but I don't see it.

Thanks

I was using my Nuvi 200 tonight when I noticed that the display was delaying showing my position. It would just freeze for a few seconds, then catch up, freeze again and then catch up. It works fine in the map mode( no destination entered). Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

How do I get the sounds that I download from this site to work on the Garmin 255W? I've changed the sound file name to match the POI file name but all I hear is the standard 'beeb-beeb' alert sound. Is there some setting that I'm missing? Thanks.

Bought a refurb 1490t off of ebay. Spent 45 minutes on the phone with garmin to get my map update (currently on 2010.10). On mygarmin.com it says at the top

I haven't loaded this onto my nuvi yet. I was wondering If I wait till the 2011.20 update, would I be able to download that instead?

I just completed a 2,000 mile road trip on the east coast running a 760 (paid traffic) and a new 265WT (free traffic). I'll tell ya, the reporting from these two units, side by side, is vastly different to the point that it's disconcerting and even confusing. The 760 tends to over-report, I think the 265WT is very conservative when it comes to reporting delays.

Is any one else having this problem and if so; does any one else know how to cure it?

Is there an "easy" way to create playlists on Garmin? Creating a playlist using the Garmin 755t seems to be very difficult.

Hi new guy here. I am glad I found this site, it will come in handy next summer during our motorcycle/canping trip thru the states. I have a question:: when I downloaded the rest areas poi's I did not see them on my Nuvi 855 extras. I do see the diners, drive in and dives poi's in a custom poi folder. Anyone know if the rest srea pois will just show up on the map or.....

Thanks

I'm looking for a chime tone similar to what you hear when you're on a plane and they turn on the fasten seatbelt signs.

Just a nice mellow double or single chime.

Most of the sounds in the POI library are too complex or have voice messages.

anyone know where you could find mellow, simple sounds like I'm describing?

Hey guys. I was wondering about something concerning Navteq's map reporter site. Here's the thing: I've made 2 corrections in the past 6 months, and both have been "resolved" but neither of them have been added to Navteq's map database online.

I have a friend who wants me to take his Quickbooks contacts and add them to his favorites on his GPS unit. What will it take for me to do this? Can I overwrite the existing current.gpx file with my own? Is there a better way of doing it?

I think he has a Garmin Nuvi 255.

I'm new to the nuvi series and would like to tinker around with some of the POI files.

I've read the beginner/newbie instructions and understand the process, but haven't see the POI destination specifically addressed.

I have a microSD card in my 1690 and plan to put my POI files there unless there's an operational penalty in doing so.
