Garmin talk

We have a Nuvi 660 and we're very happy with it...

She would like to get a GPS for her car.

I Definitely want Lifetime maps. Possibly Lifetime traffic too.... Voice prompts too...

Memory card slot a plus...

I'm perfectly happy with the 660....

So.... Based on the needs posted... What Model Garmin gives the best bang for the buck?

Thanks.

Hello all !!!
I´m Max, from Argentina

We will be there soon, but I can´t find the routes and streets of Florida .... !!!???!!! ?

Can you tell me, send me, or help me ????

I have a Garmin 3790 and a 2595.

Thank you VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs !

I found this unique intersection on a route on I-90 in Seattle coming off I-5 (exit 164)northbound to Spokane. I was curious to see how it looks in a Nuvi with the PhotoReal feature. How much more life-like can it be? Maybe someone could post a PhotoReal screenshot for comparison.

Is it possible to transfer a voice file (.vpm) from the 255w to the 2595LM? I have a custom .vpm file that I would like to use on my new unit. Thanks

Which is better?

What are the differences in the 2xx5 and 2xx7 models and which ones should I go with?

It looks like the 2xx7 series introduces the magnetic mount. Is this a worthwhile advantage or just something that gets in the way when you're putting it away and costly to replace when something goes with it after warranty?

What is the URL to download the latest Garmin Map.

How do I change my settings to run the interstate and not every side road?

I have just downloaded a NA map/USA and Canada 2014.10 update on Life time update plan using Garmin map updater V3.1.13. The download /install appears to have gone well BUT.... On powering up the GPS I get a "cannot authenticate maps" notice.

Do you have to use the poi loader to install red light poi or can you simplly copy and paste them?

In another thread, we've discovered that the new 2014.10 City Navigator NA map update has--at least for the nuvi 2460--installed a DxxxxxxA.jcv file and also includes a DxxxxxxA.unl file of the same filename in the jcv folder.

Earlier today I started on updating both the 855 and 3790 to 2014.10.

I would like to get a 7" size Garmin. They have a 7" 2757LM for $220 and now they have a new RV 760LM for $400. Having the RV input for size and info on areas not to travel worth the difference of $180?

I currently have the following junction view files on my Nuvi.

Mirror 1: http://oi42.tinypic.com/mlp844.jpg
Mirror 2: http://s14.postimg.org/ksjy69y8h/123.png

I know the top one is for the 2013.40 map, but what are the bottom two for? Can I remove them?

P.S.: It is okay to have the map on the SD card, but the junction view file on internal memory. Correct?

I've used Turboccc's TTS Voice Editor in the past and know how it works. My Nuvi 2460's volume is much louder than my backup Nuvi 660. The 660 sometimes is difficult for me to hear.

My question is can I edit the volume on my chosen voice(American English Jill) so that she speaks louder but still remains clear?

I see all her spoken words are as follows:
Rate =11
Volume= 65

By brother follows my advice, including buying the 50LM a couple weeks ago. He updated to the 2013 map without any problems using Express. Will he be able to do the same with 2014.10 without having to go to a SD card? I suppose no damage will be done if he tries the update and runs out of memory, right? Thanks.

Ever since I installed Garmin Express I have experienced nothing but headache! It would say no device is connected but it is. Or, no new updates are available but there are, or just the opposite! It would often just say reading the device or identifying the device and the icon would just swirl around and around forever until you hit something and then it would not be responding.

Time to start a thread just dealing with install issues with Garmin devices, update programs and maps version 2014.10.

I used to install one of these partial maps because the internal storage would not hold the full map, but I got an SD Card now with plenty of space. But both Garmin Express and Map Updater are still trying to get me to install the partial map.

How do I get the full map again (on the SD Card)

I installed the large JVC file to my PC. do I just copy it to my SD card
