Garmin talk

Hi,

I know that downloaded POI's are moved to the "EXTRAS" on the NUVI 265W. Is there any way to make them searchable as part of the rest of the POI's?

Noticed today that firmware 8.00 update is available for my 2455 LMT. I loaded it, but have not found any release notes for this update yet.

I have just d/l the Red Light Camera POI. I have manualy set the distance at 2500 feet. When I check the POI it show a distance of .3 instead of .5. What did I do wrong.

I'm about to buy my first gps. Thinking of the garmin 3590. Do people who have it think that is the way to go? Also, do I have to buy the HD traffic receiver to get it?
Thanks for your help

I have a user name with Garmin and it is an almost forgotten email address. Does anyone know how to change that?

All I seem to get is to change my email address, address and password but not the log on name.

Can anyone shed some light on this please.

I have a nuvi 205, I also use Basecamp and have some custom waypoint symbols and would like to know if there is a way to put them on my SD card in my GPS?

After the latest update in the bar on top before viewing the map, my 3597 now displays the temp for my location next to the time. Anyone else notice this?

This comment applies to just about every Nuvi out there with a speaker that uses a magnet. It may also apply to other models and brands of GPS units.

It does not apply to the Nuvi 8xx series because the Nuvi 8xx uses flat piezo speakers (2 on the left and 2 on the right). There isn't a magnet involved.

I have a Nuvi 760 and a 2555. 760 has an external antenna jack, 2555 doesn't. What late model units have an external jack?

I am learning a little more each day about my Nuvi 50. This little gem is a hidden choice in the menu : Settings/Map/Down Arrow. There is a lot of talk about customizing your Nuvi display. Well this feature can change what you see on the screen in a big way.

on a recent visit saw a device that plugged to the obd2 reader and worked with 1490lmt to give a more accurate information about vechicle economy. tried to find it, no luck, no luck.........help where ,when, price.

I picked up 2595LMT from Costco Canada last night. I love this device compaired to my old 765 and 1490.
I am not sure what type of traffice receiver it came with. All I can read is TA20 car charger but does not say anything about traffic receiver. I can I find it?
I will appreciate your help.

I have a nuvi 1390 and a 1450. Along with these are connecting cables GTM 25 and GTM 26. Does it matter which one I connect to either nuvi? I do not recall what came with what. Are they interchangeable? Thanks

Just got an email from Garmin offering a special for Garmin email subscribers.
Good price if I did not already have lifetime for both of my GPS's.

Hello all, I posted this question in the general forums, but did not have much luck.

Is there any way to share Garmin map themes with the community for the models that support them?

I'm sorry in advance if this isn't an appropriate outlet for this type of thing.

I am looking for a right angle mini USB cable to power my Garmin Nuvi 360. Are they all pretty much created equally or are the pin-outs different on any of them? I will use this to plug into a Scosche 12 volt to USB power plug in the vehicle.

Hi all,

My 1490 LMT has been very slow to start up lately.

When I plug into car socket. It displays "loading maps" for 3 to 4 minutes before showing me the agreement blurb. Even when I press agree, the unit is very slow to react. Once it's on and running, everything works fine.

I've always made sure the latest firmware updates are done.
I'm loaded with 2014.10 with the large JCV file.

After much effort, I have a received the response below from Garmin.

In fairness to the people in Customer Support Group, that worked on this, I believe that it was like pulling teeth, to get even this from their Software/Engineering Group. Needless to say, I am not happy.

They have suggested that we go to their Ideas Site and request the changes:
