Custom Avoidance in Basecamp

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.

Garmin Express now can install map updates to computer

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.

Registering A Used Garmin Nuvi

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.

Garmin Nuvi 350/360 MP3 Function

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?

Move Favorites from Garmin c340 to c580

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!

Red Light Cameras etc.

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.

UNABLE TO L,OAD POIs TO GARMIN 2495

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.

Garmin Express???

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.

Garmin Carrying Case $2 + free shipping

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.

Screen Calibrations

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.

Deleting custom POIs (POI Files) on a nuvi 755T

Hello All,

Failed Firmware Updates Due to a Large Trip Log

I am throwing this out there because I have noticed a correlation between failed firmware updates on units with a large trip log.

I've seen this problem happen several times to myself as well as to my customers. I've seen it on the 14xx units but I feel that it could happen to other models as well.

Speaker Problems with Garmin 2495LMT

I have had my Garmin 2495LMT for less than three months and I am experiencing problems with the speaker. Most of the time it will work fine but other times I get a garbled voice and sometimes I get no sound at all; not even a ding when I turn it on.

Is map-update server really down?

Or is it just me?
Had been getting a "site is down for maintenance" for quite some time now, when trying to update maps.

Nuvi not recognized by any Garmin software

I did a search and couldn't find anything on this so I thought it's be good to post. I just had a major headache trying to update the maps & software on a Nuvi 1450 with lifetime maps. Neither webupdater nor the new Garmin Express would even recognize the unit after connecting ot to the computer. Windows Explorer was able to search the device with no problem.
