Garmin talk

Interesting. On the Garmin 'Try before you buy' page, it shows "2013.30 - Updated" on the pop-up map.

See here: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=1456&pvID=30132#

Is the new map (almost) finally here? Server loading in progress?

I last used my GPS to Guide me into the City, so I could find the correct Bldg to Pay my Annual House taxes. I love my Garmin and can't even Imagine ever being w/o it.

When I Create a poi file with my own sound file and place it on my nuvi 1450 it plays the sound I put on it but when I put the same file on my Montana 650 and place it in the car dock It chirps out this loud warning noise is there a way to make it stop doing that ?

When I try to download a WAV files to my Garmin using POI Loader I get an error message stating "Unable to convert speed camera WAV to the proper format,therefore audio file was not transfered. I am using a Garmin Nuvi 1390LMT. What could be the problem? Does anybody have a solution to this problem?

How can I delete the red light camera files from my Zumo?

While checking Garmin website for new map I ran across the following in my history:

City Navigator North America NT 2012.10 - Map+P+JV(G&N), Apr 11

City Navigator North America NT 2012.20 - Map+P+JV(G), July 11

City Navigator North America NT 2012.30 - Map+P, Oct 11

City Navigator North America NT 2013.30 - Map+P, Oct 12

I downloaded the low clearance files, Somehow they were put in MY FAVORITES. Which filled it.
Is there someway to delete all these LOW CLEARANCE files out of My Favorites instead of doing it one by one. I want to keep my origional favorites, just rid the low clearance ones.
I will be at it for days.
Thanks

Where do I download sounds? Do i put them all in one folder in POI Garmin downloadsfolder or do I load each one individually in the POI folder? On my old nuvi 760 I had them in one folder in POI garmin Downloads and they worked great now I have a nuvi 1390 even though I converted them to .wav files they dont work.

I have a nuvi 260w, it works fine. I keep it updated regarding maps and software. I find out about new maps from postings here at POI Factory, and about new software by connecting my nuvi to the computer and My Garmin

From time to time I receive an email from Garmin announcing available updates, e.g., GPSMAP 695/696 6.50 (January 31, 2013).

I had concluded Garmin is superior, and stuck with that for a while. But since we only have 1 garmin (1 garmin broke), I've found myself relying on the android more lately. And for whatever reason, it hooks up to the satellite super fast now, and works much better than I remember. It really seems like the technology on the smartphone side is progressing much faster.

Does anyone know if you can group saved waypoints by folder on a Garmin Montana. Sorting thru a multitude of saved waypoints is a pain.

Apparently, the Cyclops Red Light Camera detectors offered on the Garmin site, are not compatible with the NUVI 2555LMT. Can anyone tell me where to find a POI program that will work with this unit?

Thanks!

It took me a while to realize it, but when you look at your list of Favorites, the miles shown are "as the crow flies", NOT driving miles. You only get the driving miles after you select the favorite and the unit "calculates route" or words to that effect. Not a huge issue, but worth noting.

I did save a link to the steps necessary to download a map to an SD card in a Nuvi 660, but it's a bit un-clear as to the steps.

I believe it is not an "automatic" procedure as in newer units.....

Could someone who knows steps explain them one more time so I can be certain of the steps so that I don't make mistakes when attempting to do it for this upcoming Map Update...

Thank You..

I updated a few Nuvi's recently ( 200, 600, 700, and 800 series NUVI's) and I noticed in the change logs for the software update that there was a change to add an additional map to the SD card. What is the naming format? Is it still 8.3? The first map is gmapsupp what is the second maps name.. I've tried gmapsupp1, gmapsup1, gmapsup2..

Hi
What is the exact procedure to have red light cameras POI running from SD card? (nuvi 50LM)
thanks.

Hi,

I have a Garmin 855 bought on line from the US and shipped to Australia with American maps installed and Australian maps on SD card.

I would like to buy and download the latest Australian maps with lifetime update and get rid of the American maps, but don't want to lose the Junction View or Lane Selector features.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Thanks.

I have tried at least 20 times to load sox14-0-1 to my Garmin 1390 with no sucess. I donloaded sox and placed it in my Garmin folder and in my poi loader. and then ran ran poi loader. I dont get any .WAV sound warnings that I have previously loaded into my poi loader folder.

What am I doing wrong? Can someone help me step bt step?

Thanks

I tried to load the state parks POI to my Nuvy 205.
All parks with a longitude higher than -104.00000 are missing. Any location lower than this is shown.
Have someone an idea what's wrong ?
