Garmin talk

Does anyone know what the latest maps are, as in year? It's hard to find any info on this from the Garmin site.

I bought a 755T after reading about the touch screen problem. Yes, it did stop after the second letter was pushed, but it did not bother me that much. what bothered me was that when I was driving to a destination it would shut down and then start up. I checked the 12 volt plug and it was pushed in all the way, so was the power plug on the bracket. I called Garmin and spoke to Jeff.

I accidentally deleted my map from my SD card...does anyone know how I can get it back. It is a North America map and a Garmin Travel Guide

Even though Garmin takes map submissions, they can't do anything other than what you do by going straight to NAVTEQ and make your own submission and buy doing so will be faster because the report is instant:

I need to find a way to create a designated route for our MINI Club members to download for their Garmin GPS. We normally just use Google maps but I'd love to find a more precise way to let our drivers know when a turn is coming up on one of our drives.

Is there a way to do this? If so, can someone give me detailed instructions? I have a 1350T to test with.

Hi,

Just a quick question.
I have installed a garmin 526S in the field for depth surveys of a little harbour in Congo (development cooperation project). People there know how to operate the gps, but not how to transfer to PC or to create gpx files with their tracks.
They propose to send me the userdata folder by e-mail. I have mapsource on my computer in Brussels.

Would like to say Thank you, to the creators of the red light and speed trap POI database. A proximity alert kicked on for the first time for me tonight in Alpharetta GA, I wll be sending a donation when I get home, this weekend.

More missing data from Garmin Maps. I landed at the Atlanta Airport and the Garmin Current map version has no Idea whats going on in Atlanta.

Ah AAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

The New car rental center Completed last year does not exist in the current map software, neither does the roads you need to take to get out of the airport and on to Interstate 75 from the airport.

For trail / geocaching use is the "T" version better than the non "T" version. What are the differences in topo vs basemaps.

I'm not able to update maps to my zumo 660 using vista 64 bit, with the amd chip. I can down load the map file but after extration I get an error message when trying to connect to garmin. (Don't know if that is the gps or the garmin web site). Updates work fine on another computer running XP. Any suggestions welcome.

Can you tell me the downsides of this Garmin model. I'm thinking of picking up a second unit (my first is a 350) for my better half's use. I know it doesn't have a mp3 player. I assume it can have an extra card for poi's. Anyway, what are the problems with it?

Thanks.
Fred

How to check /verify Map version loaded in my 255W ?
Thx

I have done several searches both on this forum and Internet wide including Gary's awesome site but there is something I don't really get about creating TourGuide files. I am for some reason, really having a hard time getting my head around this.
(Nuvi 750)

Hello

I have had my new 500 for about a week and love it. Though most process aren't really intuitive for me I am finding my way around it.

I have set different vehicles for different modes, but, then the next time I go to that mode, they have reset back to the vehicles that came on the Nuvi 500.

How do I get the gps to keep my vehicle settings??

I lost my sound on my Nuvi 750. I did a hard reboot but no help. Reinstalled the firmware but no help. Any ideas?

Does anyone here have any tips to help with geocaching using the Colorado 400t. The biggest problem I have is navigation near the cache site. I understand the accuracy limits of civilian GPS but the direction to the cache indicated by the GPS seems vary significantly even before getting that close to the cache.

Did the lastest update and never finished screen says loader loading stayed that way for 4 hrs then the battery went dead,it looks like it is locked up. Best Buy says they will replace it. does anyone know if Garmin will transfer the lifetime updates to the new 1490T

Older Garmin GPS units have adjustable fields on different screens to display info, such as course, speed, eta, time of day, etc. NUVIs don't seem to have a way to change any of the fields on any of the screens. Has anyone heard of a way to do this, or to create completely custom screens with particular fields displayed?

Hello,
I'm mostly computer illiterate. So any answers are going to have to be pretty step by step.

I have a garmin nuvi 500. I'd like to import a saved route from mapmyride to it. The file is a gpx file.

So far I've gotten the computer cable added the micro card and tried to download POI downloader.

At this point I'm stuck.
