Garmin talk

I just got a 1490t, tried it out, and there are no sounds associated with the POI's. any ideas or advice?

This is a two part question.
1.
I've be trying for the last two days to update my firmware from Garmin. All I get is the site is having problems and to try back later. Does anyone know what the latest update is for the 1390?

2.
I am running out of space on my 1390 and want to delete all their voices or should I say languages on the unit. Will that cause any problems for the unit?

Installed the most recent blue tooth update, now it sporadically reboots when a call comes in. I have tried a hard reset, anyone else with this challenge?

Generally I am pleased with the performance of my Garmin Nuvi 775T and 1260T GPS units, although, besides some lingering firmware bugs, the single issue I find most annoying is how the units speak street names (presumably based on map data as provided by Navteq). They speak street names that apparently tie to legal addresses rather than highway markers.

Good morning to all. I was experimenting with putting some routes together and was successful. That being said I want to delete these test routes from my 765T. Can't seem to be able to do it. I can delete these routes from the "Custom Routes" area but they remain in the "My Data" file. I connected my unit to my laptop and opened explorer but I cant find these files.

Want a bulletproof Garmin? Pick up a Nuvi 500. I just got one and I can't say enough about it. It's waterproof, and rugged. Like an idiot, I trusted my $200 unit to a $2.38 bike mount from ebay. Needless to say, while riding my bike down a nice steep road, I hit a bump, the unit popped off the ball and slid face down for 300 yards. 2 days in my possession... Bleah....

I have been using the Garmin 660 and 760 with the original maps for a while to route myself home using the freeways. It has always calculated the same route using the same freeway exit north of my home. I am now using a Garmin 1490T with the most updated map. The 1490T have been exiting me 1 exit south of my home. I don't get it. I have all three Garmins set at fastest time, same avoidance, etc.

How do I create web links as part of my Garmin GPX files?

Thanks!

I recenlty purchased the 2011 Map update; tried to download at least 7 times; keep getting message that Garmin server quit and contact customer service, which I did.

I was toying with the idea of getting a nuvi 780, to add to the 660 which we own. I had bought the 780 for my parents for I think $189 at Christmas, and was thinking I'll get one when it drops to $150. Well, it touched $169, and is $205 today!!!

After a good bit of research, it seems the original, beanbag style friction base (Garmin P/N 010-10908-02 https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=63953) remains the favorite, but this thread is intended to focus on the newer model with the pliable base (Garmin P/N 010-11280-02 https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=69365).

FYI: Garmin Nuvi 885T users,
There is a software update available on
Garmins website ---click the link below, then go to my dashboard.

I will not go into details here to what happen. But, when I take the battery out of my gps 855 and put the battery back in, I get this msg. "The Software (version 460) is older than your current software. Would you like to continue installing (this will clear all user data)" At the bottom of the screen INSTALL..DON'T INSTALL. I press DON'T INSTALL, How do I detete this statement.

How do you put text below the original text. I can't seem to do it. Any help will be appreciated.

I'm new to all this so please excuse my question if it seems dumb. My Garmin 1450 has schools already in the maps. Is there any way I can edit them into school zone alerts? Preferably all at once.

I can't make the Lowclearance software work with my 7200. Is anyone using it with a 7200 that can tell me what to do?

Over the past few weeks, the touch screen on my Nuvi 255 stops responding. I notice this happening when the device was warmer such as being mounted on the windscreen and plugged in. Now it does it almost all of the time. I tried reloading the firmware, a hard reset, but that has not worked.

Our Nuvi 5000 crapped out on us today. We are on a road trip from Florida to Alaska and somewhere in Missouri the map display went away and the word "drawing" appeared at the top of where the map should have been. Called Garmin and the associate spent quite a bit of time helping me out. Turns out there was a corrupt file that was causing it all.

If you have just bought a new Garmin GPS unit, you can be of help to us by answering some questions about the unit, its internal memory and some files. To reciprocate, we can do something for you.

You have probably already registered your GPS so you know how to hook the unit up to your PC. Why don’t you get your unit and USB cable so we can get started.
