Can anyone help me convert 5 BMP's to files I could use as icons on my Garmin GPS?

I have them saved as 24x24 pixels or smaller images, but POI Loader constantly fails when installing them and their associated gpx, csv files.

So I installed 2013.40 last night and tested it this morning. I used the Garmin Map Updater program and it worked flawlessy. The map went on the SD card, and I copied the large JCV file to the JCV folder in the unit. Took about 2 1/2 hours for the whole operation.

Logged in to MyGarmin Dashboard today and received a system update.

It appeared to be very small as it completed in only a few minutes.

Anyone know what this was for? ... I couldn't find anything on the Garmin site. I didn't see anything remarkable or changed on my nuvi either.

First time I have ever needed help with my Nuvi 660 in 5yrs so I hope some one can help, I accidently loaded the same POI camp sites 3 times on to the unit via POI loader, I have tried connecting the unit to my PC and tried to remove via POI loader as it say's remove POI in a tick box, but they are still there in custom POI.

Success. Reading the Garmin topic: "Available now City Navigator 2013.40 North America" proved very informative. http://www.poi-factory.com/node/39212

Latest maps are ready for download, however, I had problems downloading and spent most of Saturday re-trying many times to complete the download. Kept coming back to find blank screen and an error message stating the disc (Garmin) was not ejected correctly shown when reactivating the display. Eventually I resorted to setting computer and display sleep to "Never" within energy saver.

I just received my 3490 and I discovered that it has a different file structure. I run windows 8 and it shows up as if it were a drive with a nuvi and memory card sub directory/folder. The nuvi folder has the typical subfolders but I could not locate the *.gcd or map files - even with it set to display the hidden system files. Lastly, it will only be visible in Basecamp.

Perhaps I'm paranoid about backups, but I normally backup my 3590 whenever anything major changes. So, after the 2013.4 update, I attempted a full backup. When it gets to the new gmapprom.img, the GPS shuts down midway into that file backup.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but if so I can not find it.

I have Mapsource and Basecamp on my computer. Mapsource shows me as the latest 2013.1 as does Basecamp.

I have along the way updated from 2013.1 to 2013.2, 2013.3 and last night updated to 2013.4 on both my GPS's.

My Garmin Nuvi 265 has suddenly decided to repeatedly reboot during use. It seems to have started on the second last map updgrade when I needed to store the map on an SD card.

Now, it boots frequently every few minutes making navigation in the city difficult and frustrating.

Does anyone know what's causing this and what the remedy may be?

thanks

Like almost everybody else, I get a 'not enough space...' message when trying to load 2013.4 to the 855. I subsequently loaded only the eastern NA maps but would like voice navigation, which it says is unavailable with this download.

However, when I checked the files on the Nuvi, there is only 1 which is dated 2013. Here are the files I think are pertinent...

I have a Nuvi2555LMT

After updating to 2013.4 I lost the Junction View. I see no options in the menu to turn it on or off.

Also, after updating I see both map versions 2013.3 and 2013.4 which appears to be for Alaska showing in My Maps. I added an SD card, could it be that one version is on internal memory and the other is on the SD card? I used Garmin Express for the updates.

Hello all,

I have two nuvi 1490 LMT's. The first one updated with latest map update and large JCV file no problem. The second keeps telling me my maps are up to date but when I check the files, the old map is still loaded. I used he Garmin Express loader to update.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Going to UK in a 2 weeks, bought a new SD City Navigator Europe card and it won't be seen by my Nuvi 1210, tried the same card in a friends nuvi 200 and it works fine?? All help appreciated. Thanks, Fred

I make a certain trip several times annually. The Garmin always trys to route me a certain way, mainly major interstate. However, if I perfer to take a known alternate rout, mainly a four lane highway, that is both shorter and takes less time.

Hi guys ... I need some help to understand the quarks that are present when we use the Trip Planner (2555LMT) to plan a route.

Can anyone tell me how to find what map version is loaded? I've tried every Icon that comes up, including the "about", but I can't tell what version I have, and if I should update? Thanks, Bob

It's either 2013.30 or 2013.40, but I can't tell if the update worked.

Does anyone know if Garmin releases updates for the dezl truck line at the same time as the automotive line? The 2013.40 maps have been out for a week now for the Nuvi line and yet my Dezl still says maps are up to date despite the fact that it has City Navigator North America NT 2013.30 Truck - Map+HT+PA+P, Oct 12 installed. Anyone else have a 560 or a 760 like me?

Well it happened. I was rebuilding my daily driver, and when it came time to install my old Garmin software, I would get the error "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this program." After much Internet search, I found the solution.

I'm somewhat surprised to learn that no POI has been created for School Zones in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro area.

I found one POI but it only has about 100 schools for a population of about 7.5 million people with many dozens of suburb cities that are medium size cities themselves. The file has not been updated or added to in a long time. Am I missing something?
