Garmin talk

I had a 2012 NA version map in internal memory of my nuvi 1490LMT and a purchased Europe Map on a 4GB SD card. Insufficient space in internal memory or on SD card to update the NA to April 2013 using GE. Bought an 8GB SD Card and NA update worked OK. The update moved the NA map from internal to the SD. Copied EU map to 8GB SD card and nuvi says map is not unlocked.

Newbie here - Does anyone else find that the 1490 screen keyboard needs a lot of pressure to register a key press? I've re-calibrated the screen but same thing. Thanks!

I have tried to find out when the new 2013 NUVI 3597lmthd
Garmin manual will be available and have not had any
luck. Any info would be appreciated.

I've got the red-light data loaded into my Garmin. It works perfect and alerts me to all the redlights which is great. What I'm trying to figure out is how do I get the information bar at the top to turn red and display the redlight information that's in the data file.

There are different screen shots on Garmin's web site that show this type of display but I'm not able to figure it out yet.

nuvi 1490
When lane assist displays the up coming intersection it only appears on screen for about 3 seconds and shuts off. Anyone else had this experience and is there a way to make it display until the interchange has been completed.

I started a previous thread because I thought I may have a Traffic coverage issue specific to Toronto.

I have just received a NUVI 2555LMT and I had no past experience with using traffic and how the 2555 is supposed to operate until a recent trip to Toronto, which should have coverage.

I just got a NUVI 2555LMT and I was recently in the west end of Toronto and expected to get traffic data. I got the Green Traffic Icon, which is supposed to mean that I am receiving a signal and traffic is good. Yellow Means that moderate Traffic, etc. If there is no signal, the ICON is Gray.

I had a scare the other day. I hadn't used my Nuvi for a while and when I took it out to the car, the touch screen didn't respond. Some of the icons did not respond at all, some responded if I pressed real hard. It was frustrating and I thought my beloved 765t was gone. I did a hard reboot and it is at least responding now but it seems as if I have to press harder than I did before.

I have a new NUVI 2797. It seems like a real nice piece of hardware and has a very nice large 7" display. Sound quality is excellent.

The socket on the back of my C550 has pieces broken out of it and will not connect or stay connected to the ball mount. Sunlight and heat in the car probably took their toll on it. Is there anyone that has a dead unit with a good case that I could procure? I have seen some on Ebay but they either go too high or they want a small fortune for shipping.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the current, or future GPS's (3597LMTHD), will show the traffic on the whole route? For example, on a route from Chicago to Detroit, it would be nice to the see affect of the current Detroit traffic while I'm in Chicago pulling out of my driveway.

Normally it seems the traffic pulls only when you're in a local area. MSN did a better job with the national picture.

I have never used an air vent mount, but I see that there is now a genuine Garmin Air Vent Mount.

I was wondering what the difference between the two services NAVTEQ and Clear Channel Premium Traffic. Can both be used simultaneously on my Garmin device?

Looking to buy my daughter a Garmin. Please recommend a good one for the least amount of money.
Thanks

Found this file on the root directory of Garmin 660... It appears to be a .pdf file.... Can this be safely deleted to save space? 1.42Mb in size.
It appears to be an owner's manual.

Thanks...

Hi all.

A while back I saw an add for a GPS mount that attaches to the windshield post using clamp on bracket. Anybody has an idea where I can find it?

Thank you.

I doubt this will be of interest to most people, but I will post for those that it may be of interest to.

I have been learning the various features of my new 2555LMT and I first thought Trip Planner was of little use, when you could load multiple Via Points, using Where To.

Anybody using the Nuvi 2557? What are your thoughts? Like it or not?

FYI,

Last night Garmin Express uploaded and installed a firmware update to v2.90 ON my zumo 665. I was attempting to find on the Garmin site the details of the update TO READ AND POST ... but ... for the life of me, I can't find where Garmin is hiding it on their site.
