2011.10 and 7x5 Series

Just updated my 765T to 2011.10. Update process went smoothly but after disconnecting and restarting the unit, it gave me an error - "Cannot unlock Maps".

Called Garmin, and their tech support says they are aware of the issue with the new map (2011.10) and 7x5 and some zumo units. For some reason the 3D maps (or buildings) doesn't get unlocked and they will have a fix available soon.

Downloading a POI to my computer

I have a Garmin nuvi 1350, that has nothing to do with my problem which is....When I go to a download like Walmart POI's & I select the yellow box that says Garmin CSU & that take me to the download screen, I click it to download into my computer it tries to use Adobe it tells me that the Adobe reader can not open.....every attempt has failed......can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

2011.10 maps, Canadian copyright on bootup?

Has anyone else noticed this? On bootup there is a Canadian copyright notice which I never had before (used to be US) the 2011.10 update.

Need to Reinstall 3.90 to Update2011.10 Map to 765T

I loaded the 2011.10 map update to my 765T. In order to do so, I was required to update to 3.90 from 3.60 otherwise the map update would not progress. I now need to reinstall 3.60 in order to avoid the traffic reception problem

Garmin having a problem with 2011.10 map update showing for 8xx series

I have a 885t and just got off the phone with Garmin tech support.

They are having a problem with the update showing as being available on the 8xx series Nuvi's.

They are aware of it and are working on a fix that they thought would happen very quickly.

nuvi 660 s/w version 4.90 and mp3 files

I haven't seen any other posts on this so I don't know if it is a chronic problem but I was happy when Garmin released version 4.80 for the nuvi line which finally fixed the problem with an alert causing the mp3 player to skip to a new track. The problem is that with Garmin's newly released version 4.90, the skipping problem is back - at least on my unit.

2011.10 is out, but...

Good news?

Garmin's City Navigator NA NT is now available, but only proloaded on SD cards, not the map update download that most of us want.

Here's the link to the SD card:

Even better, here's the link to the interactive 2011.10 map so you can check to see if revisions you're hoping to see have arrived!

Custom sound for 1350

I just bought a 1350T. Does this model support .wav or .mp3 or both?

sound and voice file

Hi,
New guy here w/question. How would one create a .wav file that contains both sound and voice? Thanks..

Do any of the newer Garmin units provide upcoming cross street?

My old unit, nuvi 200 gave upcoming cross street for almost every street, which I found it rather useful. The upcoming cross street label pops right up above the street I'm approaching as well as the top bar.

When I got a nuvi 205, I learned that even though its processor is faster, has twice as much memory (2GB vs 1GB) and speed limit indicator, it won't show every upcoming cross street.

New to garmin

GPX Files and my Nuvi 1490T

I'm looking to update some POI on my new Nuvi 1490T I picked up yesterday. I have limited experience with GPSs, as I typically get along very well without them, but I figured I'd give them a try...so I hope this isn't too rudimentary of a question.

How to make 1490T recognize gmapsupp.img in internal memory

I've generated an OpenStreetMap gmapsupp.img file of an Asian city at http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php. If I drop the file in the internal 1490T drive in either \.System, or \Garmin, the unit does not see the map, i.e. it is not on the maps list. However, if I drop the file on the SD card in \Garmin, the unit sees the map, and when selected it works like a charm (as expected).

265WT Sounds

Ok, I now dloaded the file Sox for the Sound and put it into the POILoader file. Now when I click on a Sound that I want all it does is Play, it does not ask me where to put the wav. All it does is just play. Whats up? I am doing something incorrect? Thanks again, Steve
