Garmin talk

Notes show that it's a minor bug fix. Unit updated ok.

I was using Google Navigation on my Android phone on Saturday, and stopped at a stoplight with a Home Depot on the corner. After a few seconds, a full-screen Home Depot ad popped up on the screen. And it did not automatically clear itself after the light turned green and I started moving again. I have never seen a popup ad before while using Google Navigation.

Hi, Hope this helps someone else. To update the Customer POI's on the headunit I had to use a USB drive and not the SD card. The SD card would think I was putting a MAP in and then turn off my Current Map. Using the USB drive was effortless - Create POI with the Garmin POI software. Turn on radio and wait for GPS to boot up - Put usb drive in and accept when the on screen question was shown.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 1350 4.3 screen. At one point there was a page that you could create a personalized screen shot for you Nuvi , but I forgot.

Help anyone....

Read on another forum lifetime maps policy has changed.
I believe the wording used to be UP TO 4 TIMES A YEAR.

I am experiencing Traffic incidents issues on Smartphone Connect in Toronto area. When I check Traffic App on Nuvi 3597, the map shows traffic. When I tap on the left top corner and select Incidents, it shows one or two incidents only. One on DVP and the other some times in Niagara Falls..

Due to this I don't get traffic warning on my route.

Just noticed this today.

Changes made from version 3.40 to 3.50:

Fixed an error that caused the unit to incorrectly avoid certain routes.
Fixed an error that caused all favorites to display in along-route searches.

FYI: For those of you who use Garmin Express,
there is a Garmin Express Update to 2.2.17

Does Garmin ever update their pre-loaded POI's?

Is the POI's updated whenever you download the latest software/map updates or are just stuck with the factory setting pre-loaded POI's forever?

I recently purchased a 2757. The power cable that came with it doesn't have the traffic antenna built into it. I substituted a GM35 from my other GPS. The 2757 says it's not compatible with it. I'm in Toronto is thier any cable that I can use to give me traffic alerts?

Hello
I have a GPI file on my sd card, but how do i access it on the garmin 360?

thanks

I was playing around with BaseCamp trying my best to get use to using it and it continues to be a very slow work in progress. Okay I have a trip that I have made for a number of years to Florida so I decided to use that for a start. Okay it comes up with a route that I have taken and is the fastest time.

So I hadn't updated my 3490LMT in months. In fact I was still at F/W v.7.50 and I had left the maps at 2012.40 since there were complaints at the time of losing some LA info on the next map update. Anyway, I'm going on vaco this week and thought it would be nice to update to the latest mapset and F/W but when I did, I was forced into installing Garmin Communicator and Garmin Express.

We have a nuvi 50LM and recently updated to the newest map. Haven't had any problems until yesterday.

Yesterday I programmed in a POI to a diner near Pittsburgh. The step by step route was correct (I pretty much knew how to go but wanted to be sure).

I have a Garmin 885, is there away to reset the trip log, I'm talking about the blue line on the map that shows my track?

My son is in the market for a GPS but doesn't want to break the bank on one. I haven't kept up with all of the latest models but the 2497LMT looks like it might do the job. I have an 855 and thought he would like the voice command. Any of you guys have one and how do you like it?

Hi all. I just purchased a new Garmin Nuvi 40LM and a new Garmin City Navigator SD card with a map of the UK and Ireland. I plugged the card into the Nuvi and tried to find available maps under Tools/Maps/Info, but it only showed the built in map (USA). When I plugged the unit into my Mac computer, it shows the Garmin and a device labeled 'No Name', which I assume is the SD card.

Since the latest Garmin Smartphone Link 1.5 Update; They have dropped the BEST FEATURE; send locations from Google Maps.

Does Garmin enjoy messing with customers?

I have a Nuvi 2597LMT, when I am loading custom POI's and using the "alert me with in feet" of an alert point 1. What is the maximum number of feet away from an alert point that I can use? 2. What is the shortest distance in feet to an alert point can I use?

Thank you

Hi,

First time poster here!

I have a Garmin Nuvi 50LM.

My question relates to my custom POI icons...

I want to have all (or most) of the icons to show up on my Garmin whenever I drive close to my custom POI's.
However, I do not want the alert tone to 'beep' at all whenever I drive close to the POI's.
