Garmin talk

Apparently Garmin is really upping the ante regarding their annual map offerings, I don't know if this applies to the incremental updates for you lifetime subscribers: (The following was copied from Garmin's website)

We are making our map data even better! The North America 2011 map update is scheduled for release in late April. Check back to order a map update for your product

We're going to be driving across Kansas,Missouri, Illinois,Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and into New Brunswick, Canada. Does anybody know if any of these states or New Brunswick bans GPS devices attached to the windshield? Thanks in advance. Williea

Can I add POI to my Honda Goldwing GPS?

Against my better judgment, I just purchased a 1490T and I am awaiting delivery. I say against my better judgment because of the T=ads thing. Is there a way to turn off the ads unless I am using the traffic reports or will the ads be constant no matter what(hope not as I will return it if that is the case)?

TIA

Regards, Ted

I uploaded a few POI lists from POI Factory to my Nuvi and 60csx. Both show "Extras", but unlike Nuvi, 60csx does not show any categories after within "custom poi", for example eateries and cemeteries are shown lumped up, kind of making it meaningless for practical use.

Come to think of it, 60csx does not show categories under other "find" items...

I want to move the gmapprom.img file >1.27GB from the gps internal memory to an sd card and then delete the file from the gps? will this work?

When in 3D view, and uging the +/- buttons to change the zoom level, is there a quick way to return to the default zoom level?

On the North up view, it at least shows the zoom level, so you can see when you return to a decent driving zoom level. On 3D view, I see no such thing.

I have created a csv file in notepad.
-123.45678, 12.34567, My_POI
I used the poi downloader from Garmin and the result is a location 49 miles SE of where it should be.

I have removed the file; deleted the excel file; recreated the file and tried again 3 times with the same result. I even opened up the excel file to verify that I did not mis-type.

Hi,

i have a poi file named ca hot springs stuck in my favorites menu. open menu it says all fav. add book and hot spring. do i have to daleat one at a time

I have the 885T, before I did a update some months ago I was able to see at the top of the unit where the Green Bar is Turn Red with a warning for a traffic cam or tell me when I;m coming up to a POI. Now all I get is a small black box on the screen and if I don't have my glasses on I can't see it. Is there anyway I can change it back.

Just want to know it's me or the POI file.

Hello. I have a Nuvi 780 and was wondering if anyone knew how to reset the MSN Direct Subscription back to the default screen where you have to enter your account number?

A rep at Best Buy reset my device a while ago and I didn't have a chance to ask him now. He was able to reset the device. Unfortunately, I need to do it again because I have a new subscription code.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to turn off the camera icon display on the Favorites list for the Nuvi 1350T? I don't have any images associated to any of the favorites therefore I would like to turn off that icon completely.

Thanks

Ok, I searched and didn't find anything on this. My Garmin 1390T likes to bring back favorites I deleted.

I am wondering where these are stored in which folder so I can PERMINENTLY DELETE THEM ....

I have 755t and ever since I updated it to 4.9, it is nothing but problem. The routing is strange, the freezing up is constant. Anyone know which file I should download from this site.

Oh I submitted the problem report to Garmin months ago, they didn't even dignified me with a stock response.

Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many favorites you can have on the device? Is it dictated by the amount of memory?

Anybody notice that since MSN said they are stopping traffic in 2012 that the traffic that they do put out there is WAY OFF ?

How can we download more or should I say any of the junction views on the gps? I was driving a route and it appeared, so cool. It's a shame its not at every junction point.
