Garmin talk

When I update maps on my Garmin 660 I can only install
Eastern States, in past years I could install all of USA
I only have one set of maps on my 660 and it over writes
it when I do a map update.

This is regarding Garmin POI Loader.

There's a "Alert Setting" box that allows you choose from speed or distance. (see https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-d7vyNbLlZmQ/UnsKnz8O04I/A...)

I created POI files: Redlight.gpi and Speed.gpi.

I installed them on my Garmin Nuvi 3590LMT GPS. (I can see them on the device \.SYSTEM\POI folder.)

When I go to Settings > Proximity Alerts > Alerts, I can see only one entry - "Customer POIs".

Hallo, i have some questions about some stuff again.

I tried to run extra poi editor in my linux-mint computor, i installed Wine but i could not get EPE to work.
My skills about this things are low so instead of invent the wheel again i ask if there is someone around here that gets EPE to work wit Wine or is it a dead end?

hi i have a garmin nuvi 500, well thats what im guessing thats the model. anyways i want to install a dinnferent firmware/os on it like a linux distro is this at all possible? i got it as a gift without a manual so i dont really use it at all it seems to be more usefull as a mobile linux box.

Does anyone know how to completely reformat or wipe memory clean for a Garmin GPS? I have an older Garmin Nuvi 1350LMT. I have cleared all of my user data in the device settings and even tried to reset the device by doing the factory reset at boot up and nada!

Ford Navigation or keep my Garmin 2350 LMT, I'm researching into purchasing a Ford Explorer 2014 with Ford Navigation included.

In San Francisco Bay area, we have the HD weather on 3597 with GTM60.

In the south bay near my home, I get the weather information sporadically, mostly not.

Returning from a recent trip to San Francisco, I was pleasantly surprised that the weather information was present all the way back home. I did not have weather information at all on my way out though.

Does anyone know the regulations regarding placement of a GPS. Years ago, in NY I heard or read that it was illegal to have the device suction cupped on the windshield. I ordered a ProClip device which brought it down to below dashboard level, which was much better for me anyway.

Love the Junction View. Problem I have is that it comes on 1/2 mile before the junction and only lasts a few seconds. Is there any way to make it last longer.

Hi everyone,

Using basecamp 4.2.4 sending waypoints to Nuvi 1350T GPS, it always create a category of the waypoints in the GPS.

Is there a way to send way points to the GPS without creating category ?

Thank you

This seems weird but on my garmin if I choose Karen she says the name of my street (penn) which is correct, but if I choose Jack he says Pennsylvania. Has this happened to anyone else?

To me Jack is the easiest to understand, but if he says the wrong street name when I know what it is, I'm afraid of what might happen when I don't know.

A new Basecamp update is available if anyone is interested.

Changes made from version 4.2.3 to 4.2.4:

◦Fixed error when deleting the last track point in a track
◦Fixed 'Arrive Continue' guidance issue on zumo 660
◦Fixed address search issue when running in languages other than English
◦Fixed user data from FIT files not being read from the Edge 800

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 ?
