Red camera in NYC?

Does POI Factory red camera poi include NYC area?

street ahead

Wasn't there a series of nuvis that showed the name of the cross street coming up instead of the street you are driving on? Question #2, what do you owners of the 2595LMT and the 2797LMT think of those GPSr?

Install 2014.10 on 2 gps units

I've got 2 gps unit (both Zumo 550's). I have 2 separate lifetime map updates (North America), 1 for each. I have downloaded 2014.10 update to my PC (using MyMaps site on the Garmin web site for one of the units), used MapInstall to load the news maps to that unit.

Garmin Battery Issue

Nuvi 2660LMT
Out of Warranty

Nuvi 3940LMT

Good Morn'en,
I recently upgraded from a 3790 to 3490LMT and cant get it to load up my POI's. The computer is not finding the device. Does anybody know what the problem might be and have a solution.
Many thanx in advance.

frustration averted (probably)

Looks like a new map update is available or has been....instead of fooling with express, since last time garmin told me not to use it as it is often problematic, I simply went to mapupdater and it will probably work the first time. smile

Nothing like waiting 2 hours to see something fail, then try again for another 2 hours for the same thing (at least that was my experience with express)

BaseCamp update

When I fired up BaseCamp today an update was downloaded to my computer. I installed it and am playing with a new feature (Trip Planner). At least I think it is new. Not sure what benefit it will be to my Nuvi 50, but interesting none the less.

Successful update of Garmin 3790T to 2014 map

I’m one of those who had problems updating the map and spent several hours with Garmin’s help desk on 3 July 203 with zero progress.

Finally found the solution to my problem by using a SD 8GB card and following instructions in the two notes below after I BACKED UP my device with GarMim Express.

Are you happy with nuvi traffic info?

I'm about to buy my first gps. I know I'll get a garmin nuvi, but don't know which model. Seems from reading this forum that people don't believe the traffic is accurate. Is that true? If so, I'll spend less and get an older model with "fm traffic" instead of "HD" traffic. Thoughts? Model reccomendations? Thanks

Garmin goes Android

Garmin's latest trail GPS uses the Android OS and supports downloading 3rd party apps from the Android store.

At 2.9" X 5.9" by 1.4", that is one BIG handheld device to carry on the trails!

It's an intriguing move, and we can only hope to see something like that in the mobile camp eventualy.

r in new maps

twice now coming from Indiana to Chicagoland on 90/94 at the 394 turn toward Chicagoland, the new maps in a route to my home north of Chicagoland has prompted to go South on 394, not North.

The Map routs shows correctly north, but audio prompts says take 394 south, not north.

poi's to internal data

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?

2455 LMT firmware 8.00 update

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.

Log on user name for Garmin

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.

Custom Waypoint Symbols

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?

Temp shown after update

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?
