Garmin talk

My unit is a 2460LMT.

My problem is I have many routes with points I may want to stop at along the way, or use to force a routing I want. The problem is the unit does not want to continue the route if I don't actually hit these spots.

does it show charging on screen well charging

Is it possible to use my garmin 885T with a backup camera ? or any other Garmin.

Hello,
I have been trying to find out how to get voice proximity alerts to work on my new Garmin nuvi 2595lmt. I downloaded the latest POI loader, I have all my poi's loaded on device. i have the .mp3 files named the same as matching file, (ex: restarea.csv, restarea.mp3)all i get is an audible beep when near POI. I do i get voice alert to work?
Thanks in advance
Ron

I am trying to add a POI and when I connect my Garmin 780 to my laptop, even though it boots up and I can see it is getting power, the POI Loader won't recognize it. Also when I look at my drives it is obvious that my computer doesn't see it either. BTW, this happens with BOTH of my laptops. And I have never had this problem before in my 5 years of ownership.

Here's a question for nuvi owners whose nuvi offers Voice Commands with a "wakeup" phrase.

Have any of you ever had your nuvi running along with an FM station on your vehicle's radio when a NOAA weather alert cut into the FM broadcast?

For me, the "digital hash" that occurs at the beginning and end of the NOAA transmission told my nuvi to wake up and it responded with a "Say a command."

I've communicated to Garmin with 10+ emails of pointless FAQ responses on how to update my device. Aside from being insulting as they clearly don't read my inquiries, it's just gotten pointless.

Anyway, Garmin insists that there is a Spanish voice that announces street names. however, it is not on my device. I have all updates and all additional updates installed.

For those, who like new stuff. Garmin released new software known as "Garmin Express". Haven't tested it, but according to Garmin:

Garmin Express is your one-stop shop for keeping your nüvi®, zūmo® or dēzl™ up-to-date.

This software is for:

• Update Maps

Allright, over the past couple of years Miami-Dade has closed off many neighborhood streets to cut down on through traffic trying to avoid delays on the main avenues.

I continually am routed through areas where roads do not exist any longer, especially in the Miami Shores area of Miami-Dad.

nuvi 855 - tells me the internal drive needs to be formatted. Comments/suggestions?

This is just a heads-up to those who proof their POI files. I always double check any file I download and recently could not get one Point Of Interest to work. It was one of my own creations so I am not putting the "blame" on anyone else, just letting this site know the problem and how I fixed it (a CSV file, but also could have been GPX).

Hi all. I just returned from a trip from Florida to Texas, and I'll have to say that I was not pleased with the overall performance of the 2460lmt. I updated the map prior to my trip just to make sure that if there had been any road changes, that I would have them.

I just got my garmin 2455LMT from amazon for $120. I wanted a faster unit that will not take 4 minutes to figure out which way to turn from a parking lot after being turned on. My 1490T took way too long. My new 2455LTM seems to calculate long routes quickly. Does using a memory card slow a units performance? Map update took about 55 minutes.

How do I get past the 4GB map set limit?
Map install, mapsource, and Base Camp won't let me go past 4gb.

UPDATE:

Can anyone explain/verify why TourGuides work consistently on my 680 and Zumo 660, but not on my 3760T?

This is certainly weird. One would think these units would calculate the same distance with rlc files. When I first got my 3790LMT I had to figure out what distance I would set the warnings at. That took a while but

Hello everyone, new to the forums. I have upgraded the maps on my nuvi 2555lmt since I have lifetime upgrades. My question is, can I extract the updated poi file from the 2555 and move it over to my wife's nuvi 1490?

Garmin has finally just released an update for the Nuvi 24xx line. This fixes numerous bugs - AT LAST!!
