Is there a performance advantage to limiting the total number of custom POIs loaded in a nuvi?

Or to put it another way, does loading too many POI degrade or slow down things like route calulation, screen redraws, satellite acquisition, or other operations of the nuvi?

I just topped 100k when I updated POI tonight. Is that a high, low, or average number?

I have never had this problem before. Garmin Express has messed up both my GPS. I. Have backups not in Express rather ones I did myself. How do I use this backup? Do I just copy all the files to the GPS icon? Should I enable invisible files first or will they copy over without that. I had the new maps on my machines and without good reasoning I allowed it to update.

Since downloading the latest US maps to my auto Nuvi 1450, I am finding that many of my saved "waypoints" have "drifted" somewhat. A waypoint that previously was always at a certain intersection or curb, is now displaced by as much as 50-100 ft.

Has anyone also noted this odd change and if so, what is causing it....?

is anyone having trouble with garmin express. when is opens for me the window is too big for me to click on the box for me to go to the next step

My 750 car drives beside the road you are on and then it will be on the other side of the road for a while. This happened last night on I-44 a road that has been around 100 years. Its like the sats don't really have you located good or something. This is the one I had trouble loading the update on weeks ago until I got the sd card.

I just read thru the 855 speech command thread and was wondering if there was such a thread for other models?

My 3790 seems pretty ligth on the speach command control.

The first thing I have run across is the inability to search for and then route to places far away "the old near function" using voice commands.

I just got a Garmin 3490LMT and have it linked to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus via SmartLink. What I'd like to do is be able to track where I parked my car leaving the GPS at the car and using my cellphone to get back to the car. I've done a lot of searching and can'[t find the answer.

I just got the 3590 and noticed that there is no place to store a saved place into a file. Much like the 3790, when I visit a customer location I can put it into a folder with customer name. I do a lot of traveling to different part of the US. And since I travel to many locations of sites, I like having the customer sites into their own folder...ie, sprint, at&t.

i am newbee @ this. i have a nuvi 1350. i have downloaded a low clearence gfx to my pc. have downloaded the poi loader, hooked the nuvi to the pc and appeared to transfer the file to the nuvi. when i browse the nuvi from the pc i see a file called low clearance.gfi under the poi folder. i cannot fine the poi using the garmin gui.

How can I transfer my favorites from my old GPS to a new one?

My 40LM currently has a Florida Topo map loaded on a microSD card and CN NA NT 2013.20 loaded internally. The map info page lists the Florida Topo map first and the CN map second. Both are checked since I like seeing the topo information as I drive.

Garmin has posted info on their 2013 Nuvi lineup:

I think this is a new update available at least for the nuvi 24x0 series through WebUpdater. It is not offered for the nuvi 7x0 or 8x5 models:

Traffic Text, All Languages, GLX

Changes from version 3.60 to version 3.70:
Add new translated traffic phrases

I want to free up more memory for 2013.40. Here are some text files that I am not sure about. Which ones can I safely delete?

es_ES_FMI
es_ES_PRX

I only need US & Canada

My gps is less than a year old. Last week while traveling I received a message that I had to use www.mapupdater. I pressed "ok". However, I was then unable to get my gps to navigate any of my chosen routes. Upon returning from vacation, I went online and hooked my GPS up to USB and performed all the steps.

For those, who are using this Garmin. There is a update for Time Zone Map to version 11.

Changes from version 10.00 to version 11.00:
Updated timezone database.

I managed to update the firmware in my 34xx to v.7.50 but with all the complaints RE: less detailed Lane Assist, navigation errors, and lost streets with mapset 2013.30, I held back with 2012.40. It appears that 2013.10 was the last good update but when I tried to update via myGarmin, it only gives 2013.30 as the option.

I forgot the pin of my garmin nuvi 710, how can i reset it

Has anyone been able to access their smartphone's contact list on their nuvi 1450? My Samsung S3 is running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

Can I get City Navigator for USA on CD with lifetime updates? I have it on SD for my Montana 650 But no updates
