Garmin myTrends

So I really like the myTrends feature as it tells me how long it's going to take for me to get where I want to go in the morning/evening/lunchtime. But once it tells me, it doesn't seem to update as I drive. Worse off, if I want to go somewhere else tonight (and I know where I'm going, say, to a coffee shop first on the way home) it no longer tells me what the cross street is at the top bar.

Last position

Is it normal for an 855 to save several 'Last Position' entries.

Mine has about 25 in All Favourites

Any way to regain 'recalculating'?

So our newest GPS like all other new garmins does not say recalculating. Is there any workaround for this? What an easy fix an 'on off' button would have been..

Garmin Part - needed

The power cord to my Garmin Nuvi 1390 needs to be replaced.
If anyone has an an old one for sale, or knows of an inexpensive site to get one I'd appreciate the info.

The tiny wires are exposed through the cord at the base of the metal plug. Not sure why, how this happened. All I know is that it won't power up unless I wiggle it around, then it shuts off.

Thanks!

Next street up

Do any of the new Garmin Nuvis display next street up? Not those visible at some zoom level but on one of the display bars top or bottom when not on a route.

Power cable trouble

Hi everyone.

I noticed my Garming 1450 power was intermittent.

Is there any document that explains how to disassemble the power cord?

Thanks

File System (Format) For SD Card

I know FAT32 formatted SD cards will be read by the Nuvi but has anyone tried formatting a card using exFAT? Haven't gotten around to it and was wondering if it was a compatible file system (yet).

Thanks.

Will latest map files and large JCV files fit on a 4gb card

I own a Garmin 1490lMT. Will the latest map update and new large JCV files fit on a 4gb card or should I use larger card.

I have a brand new 4gb card that I would like to use if possible.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Garmin Map Updater - Current Version

Where can we find the current version of Garmin Map Updater (the reliable software that predates Garmin Express).

The most current version that I have is v 3.1.20 and couldn't find anything on the Garmin website, but I recall they have it in an unadvertised location.

GOLF GPS ... Not the Binocular type

Hello... Looking for any insights for a GOLF GPS.

Any guidance or suggestions you can provide would be helpful.

What I have seen so far is the Watch ones are a bit difficult to use with their functions (to small), the Binocular type,,,I shake to much...lol

So really looking for one like my typical GPS...Thanks

Have a great week..

Garmin nüvi 3592LM An Android-based Garmin Nuvi

I was looking at the information on line about the Garmin Nüvi 3592LM, which is an Android-based Garmin Nuvi. Granted, it is not available for sale in the Unites States, but perhaps it will be in the future. Anyway, would this interest members here in the US?

HELP - No Side Roads After 58 MPH

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or not, but all of a sudden my nuvi 1250 has started acting a bit strange. If I am going less than 58 MPH, all the smaller side roads show up on the screen. As soon as I hit 58 MPH, the screen changes and only shows the major roads. The screen doesn't switch back until I am down around 45 MPH. I have tried zooming in, but still no side roads.

Nuvi 660 info

I was just checking my 660 out and in the map info I see two things listed with check marks in both box's.
One says North America 2014.20 western Alaska,Eastern Alaska, Cayman Is. and the other says City navigator North America 2008 All. can I delete one of them or just let it be?

Nuvi 3590 LMT Splash Screen

Is it possible to create my own splash screen? I had done it on the Nuvi 760, but I have forgotten how I had done it. If its possible, what are the size restrictions on the photo? How do I create one?

routes

is it possible to retrieve a route from nuvi2555LMT and put it on a map such as goggle or Bing maps or save it as a file to computer thanks for the help

Tracks Display on GPS, Don't D/L to Mapsource

My Nuvi 205w, yes, it's old but a real workhorse, seems to have an issue. Lately, I can not download recently generated tracks to my Mapsouce s/w.

expired 30 garmin trial

Is POI factory's red light camera app. a completely independant app? Or is it something that can be applied to Garmin Cyclops?

Does POI have to be installed separately? And if so how is that done.?

I think I downloaded the file to a folder on my PC, but I don't understand what to do with it, because I don't see any "exe" button.
