When I have to recharge battery by battery icon I always

Have noticed some members asking about changing some of the Garmin driving instructions. Forgot about this http://www.garmin.com/us/products/ontheroad/voicestudio .Never have tried it my self. Maybe some other members could comment.

Does anyone know where I can Download a Truck ICON for my nuvi Maps?

Has anyone figured out how to view the system files? That is maps, junction files, etc. on the later Nuvis? Hidden files and folders are not hidden in my Windows 7. I used to be able to see .system on my 1490.

How to setup the pass speed limit sound alert on Garmin Nuvi 50LM ? It is so easy to do this in Tomtom. But I couldn't find the option for Garmin? Thanks a lot!

Is there a simple way to backup contents of my Nuvi 1490LMT including what's on microSD card ? I am currently running 2013.4 maps with large JCV files. I'd like to backup to my hard drive / DVD before downloading latest mapset.

I've plugged my Nuvi into my oomputer to view installed files. Do I download everything or just contents of "Garmin" folder ?

I was going to purchase a Garmin nuvi 2455LMT but I'm reading reviews that say this unit can't find a destination by zip code.

Can anyone tell me if that just the early models before a firmware update, or is that still true now?

Also, does it still show ads with traffic or was that removed with a firmware update?

Thanks!

Just wondering how most people set their proximity alerts, single or continuous tone?

I have installed many POI's onto my garmin using the POI loader. I know there have been updates to this files since loading, but I have never updated any of them. What is the best way?
thanks in advance

will be out this afternoon!!!!!!

Okay just wanting to let off a little steam, Several years ago I purchased my Nuvi 5000 and took me a while to realize it did not have a battery so unable to take unit to my computer unless I have a power supply. What could have been on the engineers mind that come up with this idea? Has anyone come up with a way to add battery? Sorry for taking up time with this apparently unsolveable problem.

I had a garmin 2595 and I had to send for repairs. I found out that some of the units have an internal traffic chip and others have traffic chip on the power supply.

Dears,

Please let me know if you need any help or feedback for this device. Thanks

and you see a POI. How do you mark it?

I have terrible memory, and by the time I get to where I'm going I tend to forget.

Any advice?

I just bought a Nuvi 50LM. To check it out, I asked it to take me home from a local park. The very first intersection, it told me to turn the wrong way. The street was a dead end about 100 yards from the intersection.

I can't believe this. I have a Garmin 750. I will be driving from Chicago to San Diego on Wednesday. I just loaded in my hotel stops. Once finished I decided to check my location. It keeps showing me 45 miles north of my current location. I just loaded new maps (I have lifetime maps). Also, when I tell it to take me to a destination, the route is all squiggly and makes no sense. Any ideas why??

Just loaded the new update (no choice) for Express, I think it was 14.1 or 2. Went to check for 3590/2460 updates and now get "can not connect to garmin services. It recognized both units and some features worked but no unit updates/extra's etc. Reinstalled new update several times but same message. Anyone else having this problem with the update. All previous update worked flawlessly.

Thanks

Am a novice at this but am asking where I am going wrong in installing poi to my garmin nuvi when ever I down load a poi file to a folder on my decktop I double click to extract it all I get is a messdage saying windows cant open this file could smeone e-mail me with info wah I am doing wrong Thanks Paul

I have a Nuvi 2555, which I'm trying to update via my Mac desktop. North America 2014.20 has been updating with Garmin Express for more than 15 hours now and has been stuck at 190 items of 191 for at least 10 hours. If I disconnect the GPS before it finishes, will I be able to use Map Updater to update the map or will I totally screw everything up?
