Importing Spotwalla Tracks
Just curious if anyone has experienced an import error in Basecamp while importing gpx files from Spotwalla Trips?
I'm able to download from Spotwalla any number of my rides in the GPX format. Most of them I am able to import into Garmin's BaseCamp with no problems. It seems that just a few of them will not import at all and I receive and generic error message.

Garmin 1390 - Accidently Formatted - I'm a tool - Please Help!
Hi,
I've accidentally formatted my Garmin 1390. I had a micro SD card in the satnav and thought I was formatting that instead.
Can anybody provide me with a zip file containing the files/folders via dropbox/rapidshare/bittorrent, so that I can restore my device?
Thanks,
Rob

Splicing cables?
Hey all,
So I have a Garmin Streetpilot C550 (old reliable) unit that the cable is frayed which also has my traffic receiver which has the lifetime subscription on it. So I looked into pricing for a replacement cable and didn't feel like shelling out the money for it. It's not cheap... But what is cheap is just another power cable without the traffic receiver.

Hello, while attempting to replace the LCD screen on the garmin 2460 LMT, there is a 2 pin connector that you have to remove. Well, I did not realize, you have to lift it up. I actually pulled the two wires (red black ) out. Where can I locate one of the connectors
Thanks in advance

Custom POI In Nuvi
I have downloaded a custom POI from this site and used the Garmin POI Loader to get it loaded into my Nuvi 1450. I see the file in the Nuvi POI subdirectory but when I do a Where To - Points of Interest and search for one of the items contained in the custom POI, it does not appear in the list. Am I missing a step?
Thanks in advance.

Inaccurate directions - nuvi 2557/2597
I recently switched from nuvi 885 to 2597. The newer Garmin gives inaccurate readings of my location -- in one case, as I was stopped at a complex intersection, the device told me I was already past the light, on the wrong street and had to make a u-turn.

Do you feel the Garmin battery life should be better?
I remember the old days where a flip phone can have several days of battery life. I was then comparing a 2-3 day model vs a 4-5 day model, for charging purposes. Then the smartphones came and we are lucky to get around a day's worth of life. I mean a day's worth as in 7-9 hours not 24 hours. My Garmin does probably 2-3 hours.

Zumo 550 and 2015.20 map download
Lost my maps, so came home after my trip (only discovered it not working on the trip, so useless) and have spent all afternoon trying to get this done.
How can I start over and download the 2015.20 map? I have done it several ltimes with no errors, but the Zumo 550 on booting, will not respond to any screen hits? I can page through some screens, but no interaction.

GPS 3590 SyS FILE
I just did a Back-Up on my GPS 3590. Map 2015-10. Every thing went fine until the end. Gave me an error. "The file name you specified in not valid or too long. Specfy a different file name."
SYS_Log1_(the next two looks like musical notes)+1.
Type: MPLAYER VIDEO FILE
SIZE: 2.00 MB
It gave me the option to retry or skip. I chose skip because it would not let me retry.

GPS learning
My 3790 has the learning capability to track driving habits.
Where I live we have a sometimes 16 lane highway, 8 each direcction going across town.
There are the express lanes with much fewer exits. When I go 20 miles across the city I take the Express since I do not want to be in the slower collectors with in and out traffic.
Base Camp 4.3.5
Whenever I type an address I get the message "This product does not support address search."
Am I overlooking something?
