Garmin talk

Hey guys,

I recently got a new 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. And it has the UConnect 430N. Does anyone know how to upload POIs into this nav system? All I know is that it has the Garmin software. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Just returned from New Orleans...took the 1490...other than showing me driving in the weeds half a dozen times and sending me on some r3tarded routes...it was okay...except in NOLA proper...simply would not catch a signal...recalculating over and over when it did...firmware is up to date ... Happened in no other city...maps are 2011.something but that shouldn't matter.

I ran all my POI Files thru the POI Loader and when I checked my Customized POI's on my Garmin nuvi 2555LMT Device, only about half of them were listed BUT when I checked my SD Card (I store my POI Files there) all Poi Files were listed on the SD card BUT I can';r see them on my Device, Kan anyone Shed Sum Lite, Thanx..(and to think, I went to College for 4 Years, just to Learn how to Spell)

I have a garmin nuvi 500 satnav but it has frozen has it got a reset button?help

Why some people have owned more than one:

Does anyone else visit the dog-shaming website often? I'm one. Here's one of today's offerings. Is that a 5" nuvi? I bet it had lifetime maps too.

can't find it on the nuvi 260w?

Where do I look on the nuvi? I've poked and looked at what I thought were obvious places...no joy.

I need help!

does anyone have a goldwing icon or vehicle i can use on my garmin?

I am in need of help.. I just had my garmin replaced nuvi 50lm and on my old garmin had the POI for the red light camera or proximity points already installed on it. This one doesn't have it. Should I return the unit because I can't find the free POI for the this.
Please help

As a result of a forthcoming Road Closure to my cottage, I decided to play with Basecamp and enter a Custom Avoidance, to find a new route.

I knew I could do this with Mapsource and but for the life of me, I could not find anyway of doing this in Basecamp. I put avoidance in the Help search and nothing comes up. I played with Routing Options and I could find nothing.

Hopefully, this hasn't already been mentioned. If so, I just missed it. I don't use Garmin Express right now but from this Garmin faq below, it certainly appears that the new Garmin Express can finally install map updates to a computer. Hopefully the computer installation can be seen by the computer's Mapsource or BaseCamp software.

I know that this has been discussed here in the past, but I am just looking for any recent experienced from fellow members in this regard. I just bought a used Garmin Nuvi, but when I went to register it, I found out that it has already been registered.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 now and I am picking up another used Garmin Nuvi 360 very soon. Anyway, one of these will likely get installed in my Chevrolet Silverado that my oldest son drives. If I decide to transfer his music from the computer to the Nuvi 350/360, how well will this work in the vehicle?

I've been happy with my Garmin c340. I just got a Garmin c580 which has the same comfortable user interface and is easier to manage with my PC.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to export all my saved Favorites from my c340, so I can import them into my c580?

Thanks for any help!

Hello All,

Was hoping someone could help as I am new to managing POIs. I have subscribed and downloaded the camera and speed cam POI files and wanted to know how they get activated on my Garmin for use. I have installed them into the device using the POI loader and wanted to confirm how I will now see them.

POI LOADER

Every time I attempt to load POIs to the unit I get this notice "folder invalid click Browse to choose a new folder to continue"

No file is accepted. Please advise.

Has been uploaded onto their servers meaning it should be released for download within the next 2 weeks or so.

The last map update I did (2013.04) on my 750 installed Garmin Express. It has been complaining ever since that I need to allow it to download and install 2013.04. I finally broke down and allowed the installation. It appeared to go off without a hitch.

Here's the url from Best Buy for a Garmin Carrying Case for $2.00 + free shipping for those who don't have a case to protect a unit and might be interested in one. I just ordered one for a previously owned Nuvi 360 that I purchased without a case.

Was on a trip earlier today when a friends garmin was started only to ask press here showing an x and y axis line on a small circle. After its pressed the point moves and asks to press again. After 12 or so I thought the system was faulty and looked to power off reset the unit. Starting the process all over. After about 15 calibration point entries it finally said calibration complete.
