Garmin talk

is there a way to add the 3d buildings and the Topography from my 3590LM to my Dezl 760?

Just got off the phone with Garmin tech support. I was updating my 2 Garmin devices with the new Garmin Express. It seems that everytime I update a map Garmin has come up with a "new and improved" method to update your maps. With this new Garmin Express there is no longer a way to update your maps on your computer. INSANE!

Have done a 'reset' onm my Garmin Nuvi 3790t.
Loaded POI's: red light cameras
speed cameras
National Parks
State Parks
Rest Stops
Have just, and still am, travelled over 2000 miles from Minnespota to Flordia and NOT ONE POI has activated!!!
???
HELP

I thought it was possible to put the keyboard on the 3790 into QWERTY layout but I am not given this option. Anyone know anything about this?

Anyone have any insight into whether Garmin will go to USB 3.0 in the near future? The extra speed that would come with map update installs would be nice, and this spec would seem to be a selling point for anyone who is already in the market for a new GPS unit (don't know that I'd upgrade "only" to obtain USB 3.0 support).

Thanks.

I'm using a 1490T. I have thousands of waypoints in many files. I like to distinguish between them by using the variety of icons available in Mapquest. I have not found a 5" screen with LMT Which allows that. Am I missing something? BTW, I'm ready to throw in the towel on the 1490.

Thanks in advance.

i recently purchased the dezl 560LMT looking through the various things and truckdown was one.. i updated the map and now the truckdown database doesnt show up when i click on Where To.. any ideas on how to fix this

I have a MacBook Pro using the latest version of BaseCamp for Mac. How do I get 2013.4 for use w/ BaseCamp?

Thanks!

Greetings fellow GPSers!

I want to get a MicroSD card for my Nuvi 40, so that I can try out OpenStreetMap and some of the POI files on this site. I'd rather only have the official Garmin stuff on the internal memory, and any 3rd party stuff on a separate expansion memory card.

I have a Nuvi 765t and generally do not find the traffic receiver helpful. It seems to register the traffic when I am stuck in it. Too late to do anything. I have a question though. When I am in traffic and the traffic icon displays yellow :02, what does that mean.

First let me purpose or suggest that with each new map update, we the community start a new forum topic just for that new installment of the map?

For Example:

2013.40 Issues and Answers:
This forum would address all the known issues of map update 2013.40 and attempt to provide a common sense answer to the known problem?

Why?...

This latest Map download resides on the SD memory card, instead of the Nuvi 660 drive. (It wouldn't have fit otherwise)
My gut feeling tells me that the Garmin boots faster with Maps on SD card than it did when maps resided on the Garmin drive....

I used a Mode 4 card....

Has anyone else noticed this ?

Also a word of warning....

GPS Model: Nuvi 855

Several times a year I travel to play golf. I always program my routes on the computer and then transfer the Waypoints/Routes to the GPS via USB.

Bear with me....

I posted this in the map update thread, but thought it might deserve it's own thread:

Garmin Express downloaded and installed to my Nuvi765T fine... what it did NOT do was install the map onto my computer for use with Basecamp... the only way to use the new map with Basecamp is to have my Nuvi hooked up to the computer... until I fired up and used my Lifetime Map Updater program I still had on my Mac... it's downloading the map now and should install to my computer. I hope...

I just did a seach of the forum topics for NuMenu and came up with Zero hits. Did this feature ever get implemented? GPS Passion says it should be available on the 24xx (and I assume the 25xx) models.

City Navigator 2013.40 North America is Available.
Downloading now with Garmin Express, did not see any "Options" before downloading other than just the Download button.

Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a nuvi 1450 and the garmin topo 100K maps.

What features work well, and what one's don't is what I am curious about, what can I expect as far as map detail and elevation info.

Thank You

I have a nuvi 260w with an 8 G sdhc. The following maps/files, in the following top to bottom order, are listed in the Garmin folder on my 260w:

gmapbmap.img
gmapbmap.sum
gmapprom.gma
gmapprom.img
gmapprom.unl
gmapsupp.img
gmaptz.img
gmaptz.sum

I have deleted the extra files from Voice, Text, Help, Vehicles and emptied the Trash.

While loading POI's using POILoader, it failed due to an 'unexpected error'. I started copying files to backup (in case!) then discovered a position.gpi file in the same folder as my current.gpi.

After a few tries, my POI's loaded correctly, and the position.gpi file disappeared.

Wonder what it was?

I have the view set to include all hidden & system files.
