Garmin talk

Anyone else having problems with Classic or New Google maps?

No send to GPS option available.

Well, 2014.40 is out as reported elsewhere. Here's some info:

GarminMapUpdater: The current Windows version remains 3.2.2 but it doesn't recognize that my nuvi 2460 is LMT so it offers to sell me a map update.

Ugh, I'm now updating with Garmin Express, which I had to install. It's now updating my 2460 and computer and we'll see what comes of it. I'll report back with results.

Downloading now, to my 2597. Using Garmin Express, why is it downloading two versions? "Full Coverage of North America" and "nuMaps Lifetime North America". Maybe because the unit is less than 90 days and is getting the allowed Freebie and the Lifetime at the same time?

Ya gotta love some of the Garmin pronunciations.

i'VE SEEN gps's where all restaurants, banks, etc show up as icons. It happened once on my Nuvi 1490L Mt... but then it went away within a few minutes....
How do I get these buggers on my gps? According to this website, you have to pick and choose.... not what i'M LOOking for. And I'm too old to try and figure this out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just purchased the 2797 , does anyone know how to install a sound clip for a red light camera.

Is my 350 a USB 3.0 device? i just found out my new lap top has a SS USB 3.0 port, i'll use that port next time to speed map up loads if thats the case?

I bought my wife a Garmin Nuvi 500. While it works pretty well, she sometimes gets frustrated with it because it can take a minute or two to power up, acquite GPS signal, find a location, from a cold start.

Is it possible to "trick" this unit into accepting 3D views?

Any hacks for putting USB on a III+?

I've looked, perhaps not diligently. I know how to load a map update to the SD card. My question is, After installing a map update, how can you install that map update to the Unit from the SD card?

I thought (1st mistake) that you could edit a CSV in Extra_POI_Editor. No matter which POI I try to open in Extra_POI_Editor I get

These are POI's which are uploaded and working, and not just mine. Am I missing a setting in POI ? Do I need to convert the CSV? I would appreciate a lead.

When do the New Garmin Models come out.

Let the guessing game begin.

any body know a good place online to purchase a new gps.

I've read until my eyes are crossed and still don't know if it's possible to set a different mp3 alert for each waypoint in a csv or gpx file. I'm trying to create a list of POIs so that when a newspaper carrier approaches the coordinates (of an address) my MP3 capable Garmin (295w) alerts and says, for example, "You've reached 113 Terrier Way" Is this possible?

The first couple of times I used the 2597 it didn't do what it did yesterday and I was on the same street that I was on the time before yesterday's little flub. I wasn't navigating so it was showing me the upcoming cross streets.

I just download about 100 files using the Garmin Loader program. On the computer, I sorted them by those I will use most frequently. Apparently the loader over rode my sort and put them down in alphbetical order which really messes up the order for my use. Example: To find the nearest Walmart, I don't want to go through 22 pages to get to the W's.

I have a 885 and for the past two months it takes sometimes up to 20 min for my unit to connect to the satellites, I'm not near any trees or buildings I;m in the open. Is there anything I can do for this?

Can anybody tell me what is the best Garmin out there, I'm looking to replace my old one?
