Recently bought a 52 when my 1490 died during a business trip. Screen on 52 is noticeably dimmer than the 1490 even when turned up to 100%. Anyone else experiencing this?

Had to drive from Mesa to Denver so I downloaded all the POI's I thought I would need. No problems until I stopped at a rest area just over the AZ/NM line in NM. Started the car and immediately got a warning for a 35 mph zone. Thought that was for the rest area but once on I-40 the warning stayed on until I couldn't stand it anymore and turned off all the POI's.

My 2555 Nuvi is almost full from the complete 2014 USA map.
I live in California and would like to know how to reduce the map size only to cover the western states?
Any suggestions?

How do I convert a gpi file to a csv file? I searched Google and kept finding: GPS DATA TEAM WEBSITE, registered paid the fee but the online tools do not work???
How could i do this conversion?

I just got Garmin 3597 to replace my defective 2595. But this new wonderful device 3597 does not pair with Google Nexus 4 phone. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a Nuvi 1680, and the mount suction cup is falling off the windshield every 2 days or so.

Garmin sent me another one when I complained about this, I installed it and a couple months later it's doing the same as the old one.

Hello... my virtual friends... My 465T told me today that my FM Traffic s/w needed to be updated. I searched Garmin site and found nothing helpful. Checked this site and was not able to obtain any info that steered me in the right direction..

Can someone assist and direct me to the proper place for this update?

What have I done wrong?

In about 2009 I built a poi of all the school crossings here in Lawrence Kansas. When I got within a certain distance of one of these crossings a custom voice would say "school crossing ahead"....The POI is on this site. At that time I had a Nuvi 660, now I have a Nuvi 2597 and I can't remember how I got poi to use the "school crossing ahead" sound to work.

I'm not a tech head by any means and I use a Mac. This may be a really simple and stupid question, but I'm trying to get my Garmin Nuvi to load and display the Beall's Department Store POI files that are in .gpx format.

I couldn't find an answer in the FAQ section. Do I have to convert the file somehow to .csv? Or is there something else I should be doing?

Color LCD screens use polarizing filters. They shine the background light through a polarizing filter, then through the 3 color sub-pixels (which upset the polarization), then they use another polarizing filter at a 90 degree angle to the first to block out light that didn't pass through one of the colored sub-pixels.

I have: POI loader

Just notice that I was unable to find any speed trap in Ontario, Canada in CSV file.

I can find other provinces but not ON.

Have they been removed or I can't find them.

Windows 7 is hiding the "systems" folder on my 1450. This file appears using Windows XP.

Just Paid a speeding ticket for the wife, Total $450!
I was wondering if there is anyway to have her gps tell her or have some kind of alarm go off when she goes over the speed limit?
Are there any POI's that do this?
Thanks

Garmin's faqs now return a very odd response when searching for the faq containing the use of and download source for GarminMapUpdater:

Where can I download the Garmin Map Updater?

I recently updated my 3590LM and did not have enough internal memory to do a complete install. I have since purchased a 8 GB microSD card and can't seem to find a way to install/transfer all the maps to the SD card.

Thanks in advance
