Garmin talk

Any one know how to delete unwanted maps in 755T. Recently upgraded to 2011 and find I have Mexico. The chances at my age of ever seeing let alone using a GPS in that country is very, very slim. I would like to get rid of the Mexican map portion and free up some space. If that's possible?

I have two maps in my nuvi 855, the garmin North American map and the OSM UK map. Both are stored in the main memory. Since I was playing with the UK map I had turned the NA map off. However, I left the unit in navigation mode, with the "show track" option turned on.

Is there a way to turn the screen off on a Nuvi without turning the whole device off?

A lot of times, specially if going long distance, it's a long ways before the next turn - and at night, the backlit screen is quite a distraction. It'd be nice to turn the screen off while the navigation going, and have the screen come on automatically when the next turn is approaching.

well the new 20011 maps for the 465T are out i am impress it takes obout 4 hour to down load at 200kb per minute you get free map source and free city install the graffics are better and faster it even format the hard drive for you what they dount tell you is that you must defrag after instalation the program is 2.17 gb it is worth the money they findly got it right this time this are the best gra

What is the latest map update for the 885T ?

Hi all, I have searched and the answer has eluded me. About 2 years ago I bought an aftermarket USB car charger for my Nuvi 680 to use when it was mounted on my motorcycle and I can't find the place I bought it from. I was hoping someone on the forums might have the answer.

I have been very busy creating a POI file for the Baymont Inns & Suites across the country. I've used their web site to find the location of the motels and then used GoogleEarth to determine the GPS coordinates.

Has anybody had any experience using the Nuvi 1370T. I have done a search on the site but cannot find any reference to the unit. I particularly like the idea of the unit because it has both North American and European map sets. I was wondering if both sets of maps would be updated or does it rely on the location where the unit was originally registered in.

Has anyone else noticed with the new map update, that upcoming streets are now displayed on the map itself (not the green bar)?

After driving around yesterday and today, I've found it is showing up to 4 streets ahead. I thought it was very cool that they've 'fixed' that little problem.

When I am driving, my Nuvi 660 frequently loses its power intermittently. I had the unit itself and the power supply replaced back when it was still under warranty, but the issue was never fixed. I suppose that leaves the cradle to be replaced?

Has anyone else had similar issues?

Anyone ever loose sound out of internal speaker? My FM works but no internal. I took it apart (don't go "OH NO) it is easy, I had this problem before I change the battery, but thought I would repair two items at once. All the connections were good.
Any ideas?

Can anyone recommend an external power supply I can use at home while listening to the mp3 player ??? I would prefer not to use the car mount adapter. Is it possible to power it via the usb port so as to maintain operation? Also, I want to avoid connecting to my computer.

After reading that a "corrected" 3D Buildings file had been released (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/28799) for the nuvi 7x5/zumo 66x to fix "maps locked" issues that some were having, I downloaded this fixed file and did a bit of testing. Note that I also have the original 3D Buildings file which was released with the 2011.10 map update download.

I have a Garmin 660 and just installed North America NT 2010.40 map, I still have City Navigator North America NT 2008 (It's uncheck)Often when I turn on my 660 it will say that I need to update the 2008 map, how do I delete this map?

But not on WebUpdater... 2011.10 fix? Hmmm.

I've noticed on the 2011.10 update, they moved them to the .xml file on the 775T. Lot's of new info in it as well it seems.

Check your rig, and see.

I wonder if all the problems with downloads, locked 3D maps, and other assorted problems are stemming from the fact Garmin made a mistake in releasing the Mexico Map with this update, and are trying to control the damage.

After all, they did charge $50 for it, and that would be a loss of a revenue stream for them.

What do you think?

Is it possible to only update one of the POI files that have already been transferred to the GPS? Many times I only need to update one or two POI files on the GPS, but currently have to run through the whole collection POI's with the POI loader. Seems I saw a process that would allow this, but have lost the link to it.

Can I leave the CIV extension files along with the GPX files or do I need to delete the CIV files once I load the file in the GPX format? This would be before I load the files with the POI Loader??
