Poor Traffic signal on Nuvi 765T in Troronto area...

I noticed for the last several months that traffic info on my Nuvi 765T is very poor in Toronto area. Most of the times, traffic icon does not even show up and some times it stays grey. Where as I get full traffic signal on my Nuvi 1490LMT. Has anyone experienced poor traffic signal in 765 in GTA?
I will appreciate your feedback.

Move Over Law

It seems many do not know about this "Move Over Law." Here's a story:

nuvi 3590 not showing split screens on turn approachment

Hi all

I am trying to track down an issue with my refurbished 3590.
It is not displaying the split screen turn information as
the vehicle gets close to the appropriate intersection
during an active route. The 3590 continues to show the wider view with the various streets and an arrow showing the turn.
There is no voice announcement of the pending turn either.

Missing Kernel

No not KFC,

I am currently running my 3790 and 855 in the car at the same time to look for any differences in functions.

When I turned on the 855 this morning I got an error message "Missing Kernel".

I have the LARGE JCV file on a 4GB SD card in the Garmin\JCV folder and the 2014.10 internally in the 855

Can I have sub categories for POI's like "Truck Stops", "Wal-marts", etc in my 2595

I only see one place to put POI's that I download from the Factory....it's into "other Categories" in a place called "custom POI's"

I have ,so far, at least 7 categories of places I would like to put on my garmin 2595LMT

Do I have to jumble them all together or is there a way to have sub categories?

Thanks, Jim

Biggest Micro Sd Card for my Garmin 1490 slot

Hello

Y am new here and y would like first congratulate the POI FACTORY for for all the use-full informations available here.
Last year I bought a Garmin 1490 and y would like now update the US and Canada Map (2014.10)Unfortunately even with 4Gb micro sd on my garmin there is not enough memory available to achieve to load the map.

Delete stops

I recently took a trip and the Garmin worked well. Now I need to delete the stops I had. I didn't make a route which would have changed all the time. I made the stops in Basecamp and I can delete them in Basecamp. But how do I get them off my nuvi 1450? Without sending them back to Basecamp?

Heads Up after 2014.10 install

After I installed the new map on my nuvi 750 the touch screen is unresponsive. It will not even do a hard reset.

Any suggestions besides get a new one?

Red Light Cameras

Do most places in the US that have red light cameras have a photo enforced sign warning drivers?

In Long Island, NY, they do NOT have photo enforced signs warning drivers.

nuvi 3590LMT Restarts From Sleep Mode, Deleted Saved Places Reappear

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but sometimes when I put my GPS in sleep mode (quick hit of the power button, not full-fledged shut-down) it will restart itself after a few seconds. When it does so it will also invariably restore previously deleted saved places.

It does this regardless of how current my firmware might be.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Firmware Update and BT pairing

Noticed that when I did a firmware update on my 2797 it messed up the BT pairing, so I had to delete the original pairing and re enter the data to get it working again. Apparently you just cannot try to edit the original info to make it work again, you must delete the original 'account' and re enter. Same thing happened with my Ipad and its wifi connection at home.

Did the updates work

I downloaded the red light and speed camera updates.
Any way I can verify if they did upload to my 2555 LMT.
Thank you

New Garmin 760LT for RVs

Saw on another forum that Garmin is adapting the DEZL 760LT to RV use.

Has anyone heard when this might be available? I would probably wait to let others deal with the initial bugs....But sounds very interesting.

Any thoughts?

Has the BMP size changed for POI icons on new Garmin models?

Hello and I apologize if this has already been covered, but I did not find anything through my forum searches.

I just acquired a new Garmin 3597 and uploaded some POIs with BMP icons. From the look of it, the size of the square that shows the icon is much larger than the icon itself, so I am wondering if the actual icon format has been changed as of late?

Nuvi 2797LMT and the GTM60

Just curious if anyone has experience using a GTM60 antenna with a 2797 after using the OEM provided GTM36. Essentially, is it worth upgrading to a 60, in particular in the NYC/LI metro area? The 36 provides better than expected performance for me so far, even to the point of being ahead of local radio stations' traffic reports at times.

Nuvi 360

Hello all!

Hoping somebody will be able to help....

I have an old Nuvi 360 that came with USa maps preinstalled.

I have access to Garmin City Navigator Europe NT 2013.10 and can choose which part of the European map to load up onto the Garmin device or onto an SD card.

I've also seen this past forum topic:

GTM Traffic Software Ver 2.9

I checked webupdater recently and under the update info for the GTM software, it had the following:

"Changes from version 2.80 to version 2.90: Fixed lockup that could result in grey traffic icon being displayed on PND"

I couldn't figure what PND was, but I now realize that it was possibly "Personal Navigation Device".
