Garmin talk

Thinking about buying a new gps unit or just buy iPhone app?
What's your thought on subject?

Hi everyone. I just purchased a Garmin Nuvi 2555 GPS and I possess very little computer knowledge, and a decreasing level of patience. I am interested in the quickest and easiest way possible to download "red light" camera locations into my device. I successfully did this with a TomTom GPS and don't recall it being this complicated.

I had recently started having sporadic problems with my nuvi 1390. It will lock up and not show routing. Once it gave me an error saying out of memory. Now when it is turned on it shows the GARMIN startup graphic but will do nothing else. Has anyone else seen this problem and resolved it short of returning to Garmin. Of course the warranty expired in October.

I have a garmin 1490 lmt and have yet to use the traffic feature because it dosn't cover my area. Next week when I head south for the winter I hope to be able to use it. Is the feature worth the money and do it cause more problems navagating????

I recently purchased a 2555 and am having some issues saving new locations to it. I used to use a 2460 and saving new enpoints was an easy process. With the 2555 I can only save new endpoints easlily (and name them) by hitting the vehicle icon while at the location. Is there an esier way? This kind of defeats the pupose of programming a location and then navigating to it later.

I recently used a supplemental SD card for my Garmin device while I was overseas in Australia. After returning to the U.S., my Garmin tells me my North America map data isn't available. Garmin tells me I can simply re-load maps by purchasing their "lifetime" map updater for $90, but that seems ridiculous. Am I missing something here? Any other way to get my North America maps back?

Anybody else see this error? I periodically see this come up on my 560LMT -- OUT OF MEMORY. When it comes up, there's an "OK" bar, and I tap it, it goes away. No other effect that I can tell.

The morning before we started our visit to the N.C. Mountains, the Map Update came out... We decided to do the update the 660 before leaving for vacation.... It went smoothly (After I turned off the blocks in the firewall).

Did a search but could't find anything on my problem. I load custom POIs on my 2655 and can bring them up and eveerything looks correct, but the "GO" function doesn't do anything. I see it but I can't select it.

What am I missing here?

WalMart has a refurbished Garmin nuvi 1450LMT 5" GPS w/ Lifetime Maps and Traffic for $79.98 w/ free standard shipping.

I have a Nuvi 3590LMT and recently, when having it calculate a route (and recalculations), the unit has slowed down to a crawl. What used to take 10-15 seconds to calculate a route, now takes about 3 mins. and recalculations are worthless because I have to wait so long for them that I'd have to pull over and stop to let it catch up.

Can POI load on Garmin Nuvi 700 series?
How?

Garmin 2595 POIs loaded using POI Loader. Still dont see POIs. I see them loaded in custom POIs section, but how does a Red light camera POI for example show on map. I see nothing coming on map? Anyone know the solution?

I downloaded the newest map 2013.30 and was told I needed an SD card to hold the entire map. I had a 2SB SD on hand from an old point & shot camera, so used it.

i want tim horton poi

If you have an Audible Book Application for your GPS Device and are Interested in Swapping some Books, contact me at: donz1943@yahoo.com and you can also Reply to this Question here. I have about alot of Audible Books. Not long ago someone asked me what an Audible Book is. I answered with "It is a Book that Reads to you and Saves your Eyes fro having to Read it" Works well on those Long Routes.

There is a new firmware update for 37xx series.

I just received a refurbished nuvi 350 for one that quit working correctly....I cannot get it to stop doing the speed alerts....I have gone into the proximity settings and unclicked them but it continues to do it......

Has anyone here figured a way to remove unwanted phone numbers from the 765t ?
A few years ago I vaguely remember reading that you have to remove them from the phone first, then turn everything off for minutes, then turn on, and Voila !

I tried it and it doesn't work for me!!!

FYI

PC MAG has released their best products of 2012 and the Garmin 3590 LMT tops the GPS list.

I own it and I simply love it. Some of the features that I like are: Great graphics, TOPO terrain view, 3D view at city centers, good HD traffic, road avoidance, reliable, and fast recalculations .
