Garmin talk

Today, I was going straight on a street and had to stop at a 3 way intersection because the traffic light had turned red. At that intersection, a person--going in my direction, that is--could turn left but not to the right because a street to the right did not exist. But it occurred to me that I had always assumed that a red light camera existed only at a 4 way intersection.

I've owned a Street Pilot and now have a Nuvi 1390. Lately, I've been longing for a larger screen (older eyes like larger screens), and I'm wondering whether there are any benefits to the RV760 for me. Reading some user reviews on Amazon, I see a few comments about poor POI's, particularly one "truck stop" that turned out to be a convenience store (ouch!)

We just returned from a trip in the Hill Country of Texas. On the way home, I noticed that I was not getting voice prompts for turns. Discovered of course when I missed a highway turn off!

Checked the volume and it was still set at 100%. Has anyone else experienced this type of problem? Is this fixable, or am I going to have to upgrade to the RV gps I have been looking at?

Has anyone heard about this Heads Up Display? Do not know what they use for maps. Basic info on the HUD. Can connect to a smart phone. Use hand gestures. Etc.

It has been a while since I loaded my gpsmap with wp (gpx), cant be done in poiloader or Mapsource. I have done it many time but forgot how to do.
Anybody out there who can bring me on the track again.

Three new Android based Nuvis showed up on Garmin Taiwan Web Site.

Will the HD Dealer POI's work on a Garmin 660 that is not the Harley Davidson model

My garmin nuvi65 has no voice alert for speed limit only red sign alert that useless ... Could u plz help me how to install sound alert for speed limit on my garmin plz...

My Nuvi 765 is no longer charging. I bought a new cable as mine was rather bent and if I held it in strange positions sometimes it would charge. The new cable came and it still does not charge. I bought a new charging base thinking this would solve the problem. Nope. Nothing. I seen a post from several years ago with someone asking the same thing, but not sure that post got resolution. Any ideas?

In case anyone's interested, I Found a factory refurbished Nuvi 3597 with warranty and free shipping on Ebay for $210.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GARMIN-nuvi-3597LMTHD-Car-3597-LMT-G...

Appears to be a reputable seller with more than 10 available.

I find the smart link traffic provides very little information for delays - mainly shows average speed and Medium impact.

If i am not mistaken the Garmin gps adapter traffic provides more details cause of the traffic - such as accident etc.

Is this the same for USA traffic or it is because for Canada they provide less details.

TIA

I just bought a GPS Garmin nüvi 2597LMT. Unfortunately it cannot support Cyclops and Safety Cameras. Someone can tell me why it does not support if the model nüvi 2595LMT does?

Any advice for me about this issue?

Thanks!

I turn on our 2011 I think 2350LMT, and the top says Harbor Freight Tools 33 min no traffic.

Huh? I don't remember ever setting that as a destination in 3 years, but it is a favorite.

I enter the destination and the thing never calculates, just goes back to the same map with Harbor Freight.

In the other makes of GPSs, (Magellen, Tom Tom), do they have the same map mixups as Garmin? Do they all get their info from NavTec, or who ever? I thought my RX auto did. I noticed on my Garmin, my physical address is in the wrong area on map.

Hello Listers,

I've tried to add custom waypoint symbols in BC Mac by creating a sub-folder (CustomSymbols) in:
~/library/Application support/Garmin/Customsymbols

No luck?

I've tried to edit one of the symbols in Photoshop, but the new file can't be saved?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I recently purchased the Live Traffic and Weather for the Smartphone Link and I have it installed on my Nuvi 2597LMT. I really like the Live Traffic updates over the traffic alerts that came with the Nuvi; however, I don't like my phone calls going through the Nuvi, via Bluetooth, when I am using the Smartphone Link.

Have to get the back off to replace the battery. Does anyone know what size driver I need to get them out?

Thanks,

Now I'm set for Russian traffic
