Garmin talk

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.

Not looking too good.

I just got a car with built in Garmin GPS.

I managed to copy my POIs that Ihad saved in my Nuvii 1490, via a flash drive, to the car's unit without a problem.

Now the Favorites: how does one copy the favorites from the 1490 to the car unit?

Regards

Hello,
Can someone help me please!
I accidentally formatted my Garmin Nuvi 1300
when it was connected to my pc.
When I go to garmin website and click
'update software' button it tells me no
garmin device connected.
(...I expect this is because it now contains no
files).

I contacted Garmin support and they said as
it is out of warranty I will need to send it back to

Thought I would pass on a few tips for those of you that might be a little agitated with auto-zoom and nuvi refresh rates. If you are in the middle of nowhere this might not be a big deal but in the city like me, being able to see your turns quickly before you get to them is essential and that will come down to the refresh rate.

I found that I have an old Garmin Nuvi 255W, and it has barely been used.

Is it worth spending $20 for the FM Traffic Receiver?

To what extent is this rig obsolete and I'd be better off with a new GPS?

Does the Red light and enforcement camera file work with the Nuvi 255W?

Thanks!

I was driving down the freeway and noticed that on the display the vehicle icon was traveling towards a blank portion of the background map until the entire map disappeared except for the vehicle icon and the top green info bar. Tried shutting down and resetting but still same problem. I then brought it into the house and connected to ac power source and everything seems normal.

After having a Garmin C330 a couple years then in 2009 go and get a nuvi 255W - I thought was a great upgrade from the old C330 and thought "wow something that speaks street names". After 4 years of using the 255W I finally upgraded to the nuvi 2455LMT and I know it isn't the latest and greatest model but after research it would serve my needs well.
