Do You Have A Typographical Error On Your Garmin For This?

I was searching for Apple Valley Medical this morning on my Garmin Nuvi, but it did NOT show up. Finally, I found a completely different POI near there and then searced for all POIs nearby. I was somewhat surprised to see the Garmin Nuvi display:

Pple Valley Medical Clinic
14655 Galaxie Ave
Apple Valley, MN 55124
952-432-6161

screen frozen

my scren is frozen on my 3590 garmin. I tried shutting it down but is does not work. Any suggestions?

3597 lmt has shipped

Got a tracking number today that my 3597lmt has shipped. It will be here monday.

Extra Files

Although there are files on my 650 Garmin, they do not appear when I open Basecamp with GPS attached to my Mac?

Old Garmin?

I am considering buying an additional Garmin Nuvi. I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 now, but I am considering either a Garmin Nuvi 360 or Nuvi 370. When I do the online comparison, it looks like there are a few differences between the Nuvi 350, 360, and 370. What most interests me at the moment is the:

-High-Sensitivity Receiver:

-Bluetooth Wireless Technology:

Every POI can have a sound and/or icon

Several weeks ago, someone was asking for a unique sound and/or icon for every entry in a POI file. That got me to thinking how that might be done.

Not that this is something one would want to do routinely,but is it possible? The answer is yes.

The answer is .gpx.

Garmin 3790T Half of Screen Not Working

I have a 3790T Garmin. The other day it fell off the windshield and I went to grab it and it fell on the dash. Now the left half of the screen is not working. I have done everything Garmin told me to do to recalibrate the screen and it is not working. I even did the hard reset and still nothing. Any ideas?

3490 Mount No Volume

Hi. Has anyone experience a problem with the speaker on the car mount for the 3490 ?

Mine car mount speaker stopped putting out any sound. I tried checking the volume settings, mounting and unmounting the unit, plugging and unplugging the power cord and shutting down and restarting the unit many times.

The GPS unit DOES have volume and makes sounds when I remove it from the mount.

2460 and Forest Roads - Missing road numbers

Greetings,

I'm checking to see if others with a nuvi 2460 (or probably the whole 24x0 series) has this problem. Ditto if anyone wants to check other nuvi models.

With my nuvi 750 and 855, the Garmin City Navigator NA map shows highway and street names--and also identifies road numbers in national forests.

Discontinued Garmin models.

Has anyone else noticed that since Garmin changed the layout of their website it is almost impossible to find the list of discontinued units? They used to have a link in the left pane for previous models and discontinued models. They still have a link for Previous models, but I could not find one for the older models. Maybe it is still there somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

nuvi 2555 LMT - Custom POI

I got the 2555 LMT that replaced the 760 one.

I want to load the red light and speed cameras into the new unit.

Do I need to follow the same process as I did for 760?

Is there any difference in the alerts/notifications in 2555 compared to 760?

Thanks

Garmin Nuvi GPS Aftermarket OEM Installation / Retrofit - Anyone Tried it?

Has anyone tried to integrate a Garmin Nuvi into your vehicle's dashboard as discussed here? I'm hoping to do this but have come across very few people who have tried it. Most go for the super expensive aftermarket kits with DVD, etc. but I really like Garmin best.

Remove import Route(s)

OK, on my Garmin Nuvi 1450 or my 1490 I go to tools> My Data> Import Route(s). I do not want those on my Garmin, but I can't find a way to remove them. I've tried hooking the Nuvi to the computer & I can find GPX, remove every thing in there, but when I unplug and look at my Nuvi those are still there. Do you mean I can not get those off my Nuvi?

Favorites

Will someone review how to trAnsfer favorites from backup to a replaced 3790 nubile.

Using my GPS

I recently drove from Phoenix, AZ to Los Angeles, CA on a Business Trip and had to make several Stops while there. I could NOT have accomplished my Mission if not for my Garmin nuvi 2555LMT. It really Shined for me. I like using it. It has been a God Send for me.

False RLC POI's

If this thread exists please point me in the right direction. I was not able to find it using the search.

How can you remove a false alter RLC? There are a couple in my area that just do not exist.
