Garmin talk

When I load poi that I've d'loaded from the Factory, using Poi Loader for Mac, on the "Express" setting, I get nothing in terms of sound alerts on my nuvi 260w. When I check to see if the alerts are registered by going to custom poi and touching the first entry in a category, no alert shows on the screen.

I would like to know where I can get info on what Canadian Cities (also US) that have traffic support with the NUVI 2555 LMT.

Does anyone know where I can access this?

Thanks

And when I push the on button it will say its loading maps, the make a noise and turn off again. It will do this at least seven or eight times both attached to the car charger or with battery then at least up to now will start up again and continue to work. This has happened several times. Any ideas as to cause?

I have the Garmin Nuvi 465LMT. i bought it in October of 2011. When i go to type in an address the number below what i touch is entered, it is if the whole screen has moved downward.

The things Ive tried to calibrate the screen and failed:

Hold the power button to the left for 30-45 seconds until calibration screen pops up.

Hold the top left side of screen while turning on the device.

Chrysler offers a multimedia system in passenger cars and SUV's such as Jeep Grand Cherokee. Within some of the UConnect systems is a Garmin GPS unit.

Are there any UConnect users "out there" with suggestions, questions, concerns? I've read several posts here at the Factory, and would like to get more info for myself as well as create a place to exchange information about this GPS unit.

i accidently shut garmen express down before i hit the finish button while installing the new firmware version 7.80. when i try to reinstall 7.80 again with garmen express it hangs up and says connect device to continue even though my nuvi 2455 lmt is connected. i then went to garmins website and tried to find updates and a "no device is located" appears when i hit find device.

Hi guys, I just bought the garmin nuvi 50 lm today and when i was trying it out, i found something wrong with it. I entered a destination for somewhere only 30 mins away at around 11:50 AM today, but the arrival time says that i will arrive at my destination at 10 PM. How can i fix this?

Can I ask - How do you turn the annoying voice off, I wish to keep the alerts on, but get rid off the annoying woman who cannot pronounce Road names correctly.

Have purchased a NUVI 50LM, my first Garmin in 9 years and am slowly working out how it all works - had Tomtoms for 9 years before they got cheap on the manufacture and started using crappy processors, software and touch screens.....

I'm working my way through getting my nuvi 260w "upgraded" (read do what it should have been doing all along, but its owner isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer).

I needed to convert some .wav files to 16-bit mono .wav files and I came across SoundConverter. It worked great for me. I used the Mac version, but I noticed there is a PC version also.

Recently I had to reinstall Windows on the computer that I use to load my Garmin GPSr. I went to get the latest copy of POI loader from the Garmin website, but when I tried to install it, it informed me that I needed Media Player 11 or newer on the computer to install it.

Im new at this so I may be doing something really silly,

Well,

I think I've tried everything. Can't get to my Custom POIs via voice command and can't create a Shortcut to them either. I don't like how deep they are buried in my new 2595 menu. Has anyone found a way to get to them without having to press 6 buttons?

I downloaded a four second steam train whistle .wav file to use as a general alert sound for several of my custom poi. I changed the .wav file name in each instance to the exact wording of the .csv and .bmp file for each poi.

Looks like this has been out for a few days. It's probably available for similar units as well.

Changes made from version 7.70 to 7.80:
Fixed an error that caused demo mode to work improperly.

Thought that I should give everyone a little warning if you are planning on buying the Europe maps DVD. There seems to be a problem at Garmin that rejects the product code and prevents you from loading the maps. Dealt with their support for over a half hour and the finally said that they were having problems at their end and should have it resolved sometime in May.

I posted this question for help on the GPS Reviw Net as well.

When I downloaded my latest map, it used a piece of excrement called Garmin Express. The map was installed into my 2555LMT, but not into MapSource. Is there a way to get the current map into MapSource? BTW, I had to uninstall Garmin Express because it was tying up my internet connection too much.

I uploaded a POI file that has 135 POI into my Garmin 1490T.

When I go into the POI file to verify, only about 40 are showing up.

Is this normal as the device will only show POI in a certain proximity to my current location or do I have a different problem?

thanks

While this might be purely coincidental, it seems like my home computer has been sort of unstable after I installed Garmin Express. Has anybody else here noticed this? Maybe I am way off base and this is just a coincidence. Anyway, I have uninstalled Garmin Express and I will see what happens.

I have had Garmin GPS units for several now. Just recently I started to wonder about the Detour function. I guess I have really never used it much. I tried doing a search here, but I really didn't find what I was looking for. Anyway, how does it work? How does it determine what part of your route to detour from?
