Garmin talk

I have a Nuvi 1690, that is the one that comes with a cellular data connection.

It has an icon for google local and for whitepages.com. That is somewhat useful.

It's good, but pretty glitchy. I cannot recommend this unit because of the problems it has.

I am running Windows XP SP3. I have several times downloaded the installer. When I run the installer, I get the following error:
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
I have replaced C++ 2008 with the C++ 2010. I have dumped AVG 2012 for 2013. Does anyone have any ideas?

On a recent trip, quite often my dislplay started showing white, ie no map, as I
traveled. Sometimes it would redraw successfully but some times it would get
'stuck' with a white screen and show the 'drawing' info at the top. It was as if I was travelling beyond any map info, ie white display.

Also, several times when I came to a turn, the system would freeze. My speed

This is a great GPS except for one fatal flaw.

Custom POI files are not usable. The manual says that they work just like they are expected to on other Garmin units.

These are the instructions in the manual:
1. Select Where to?>Categories>Custom POIs
2. Select category

We bought an 07 Volvo as a certified pre-owned vehicle in 2010 and I got my wife the dealer installed Garmin unit for it. It makes for a pretty clean and safe install, but the power hookup is not the standard USB that my 2455 has.

Hello out there.. Happy Sunday. Considering a purchase of a new Garmin..

IMHO: It appears the DEZL & Zumo are very upscaled GPS's.. ?

Considering 2595LMT, 2555LMT..

Will be used in a AUTO for day to day travel. I do NOT have a truck or RV/MH.

SPECS..
1) Lifetime Maps Traffic
2) Bluetooth compliant
3) screen 5 - 7
4) TTS - clear understandable (i have old ears)
5) SD card

I accidentally downloaded the campground POI file twice.
Now when I run all POI the campgrounds show up twice in alphabetical order. Can I delete one set of campground POI?

I am sure this is wasting a lot of memory.
Is there anywhere you can find how much memory is not in use on your unit?

Changes made from version 7.20 to 7.50:

Improved user interface for Right To Left languages.
Fixed ASR Find Address support and One Shot searching for Russia.
Added a Play Audio button when reviewing tour guide GPI files.
Improved file transfer speeds during the map update process.
Improved Point Addressing accuracy for off road addresses.
Fixed a display error with Photos when reviewing favorites and GPIs.
Fixed an error with multi via routes stopping after reaching the first via.
Routes created via the trip planner now default to the user selected route preferences.
Improved software stability.

I would like to thank all who have help me with my Garmin Etrex 20.

Here is a head scratcher (for me anyway:

I have a Garmin Nuvi 205W; it works brilliantly EXCEPT when I enter a destination that has "north, south, east west" in the street name.

This is what happens; on the time travel/miles screen it will state the correct miles away and time it will take to get there. Once I press "GO", it suddenly will make a 20 mile trip into a 215 mile trip.

Does anyone know if screen shields for the Garmin Nuvi 50LM are recommended to prevent scratches to the display screen?

I ordered one but did not yet put it on.

My Garmin 1450 says I only have about 8MB of memory to use for storing my custom POIs. Does this sound right? Accordingly, I've written these POIs to a micro card, but now when I boot up the GPS it always wants to know if I want to transfer them to the main memory. OF course, I have insufficient memory, so must decline-over and over again.

I installed the POI Loader ver. 2.7.2.0 on 11-15-12. I use the manual method to install the POI files to set Proximity Alerts. I first remove the current POI's then install the new files. For the past five days when I am done with the new files and the install starts, I get an error that POI loader has encountered a problem. On the 2nd attempt to reinstall the files all is okay.

HI.. I read thru posts and see many of you give very good advice.

Issue:cannot calculate the route No roads near starting point. I read the few posts from this...

Have followed the input checking for possible missing files.. It appears I have them. So I'm puzzled as to why I'm getting this error.

I see on my 465T the following files.

HI... today I ran into this problem with our 465T.. Put in a destination that I have gone to many times and was told no route available.

I purchased a Nuvi 2455LM today and was trying to put my POIs on it but POI loader doesn't find it. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I just replaced my old Nuvi 885t with Nuvi 3590LMT. Noticed the internal memory total is 8gb, but with all those files installed its at 2.01 gb.
My question , Are there any unwanted files internally on the nuvi 3590lmt that i could backup first then delete it, so i could add more space.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone with the nuvi2555 with Audible apps and would like to Trade some Books, contact me at my Email Address donz1943@yahoo.com. I have about 300 Audible Books, including the entire Bible (Dramatized) All of the Audible Books are in AAX Format. The Device WILL NOT Support MP3.

It displays fine but touching anywhere on the screen does nothing. I remember my 250w had a switch that would disable the touch screen. Could something like that have happened here?

Because it was selected to join the S&P 500 Index.

I know there has been much discussion concerning smart phones taking market share from PNDs. Maybe things are improving for Garmin.
