Garmin talk

I have a Garmin Nuvi 1300. I love it, well until a bit ago. I was trying to upgrade the maps and messed it up somehow. Totally my fault. Now it says there is a map upgrade, but it refuses to apply it. I have tried to contact Garmin via e-mail and we are just frustrating each other.

Some four years after the last update, the 2xxW series got a firmware update. And here I am thinking they were never going to update this thing again.

nuvi 2xxW software version 4.10
as of November 26, 2012

Changes made from version 4.00 to 4.10:
*Added support for a second map on an SD card.

FYI ... just saw this today.

On a 1490LMT...

When I updated the map to 2013.30, did the large junction file (700Mb that everyone talks about it)get updated automatically or not? Some say yes, others no...I looked inside the unit folders and could only find a small 44Mb JCV file

If it doesn't, how does one get the file?

Hi all,

I was trying to update my 1450 today and I received message that I needed to purchase maps.

This was supposed to have the lifetime maps.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I gots myself a new 3590lmt. Gotta do a back up of it...but
its not showing all the files. I plug in my 3790LMT and it shows all the files. Folder options are set correctly to view hidden files and system files. I never change that.
So where's the .System directory?

I've tried using the mp3 sound file with my DNX710EX with no success. Before I tried the wav option, I contacted Garmin Customer Service, who said that it didn't support either mp3s or wavs.

Is Customer Service correct and I'm stuck with the annoying notification sound, or can I try wavs?

Anyone know how to change the color on these ready made vehicles? Looking for an Easy way if there is one.

Hi all, I followed a link a few months back and downloaded the free generic squares of Tenerife and managed to get them on my Garmin GPSmap 60Csx but now I can`t seem to get the Topo GB map back on the unit although it is on Mapsource and Basecamp I can`t seem to transfer.

Think I have tried everything?

Hi,
Thinking of switching from a TomTom to a Nuvi 2555LMT.

Any problems using it with a Mac?

Do anyone have a problem with their Garmin 1490 turning off lwhen caclalating routes???

I just picked up the GTM 60 receiver and wanted to compare with other user's experience with the receiver. I'll report back with my own experiences on it shortly.

All,

I've searched the forum and couldn't find an answer so my apologies if I've missed a relevant post.

Question:

I downloaded the speed and red light camera files (csv format) and a Texas speed trap file (gpx format).

I transferred them to my Nuvi and then transferred data to Basecamp.

I can't find any of the data above when I look in the Basecamp maps.

I see that someone created a nice BMP for Trails. But I like the Garmin Trailhead symbol.

How can I assign that symbol to a POI file? I can't find the BMP file in the Program Files directory. (I suspect it's buried in the DLL file.) Is there a way of using the built in BMP files? Or has someone downloaded the built in files so that I can use them separately?

Thanks,

power on/off.
hold power button for up to 60 seconds.
Powerup while pressing corner, tried all four corners.
removed face plate, there is no reset button.
charged up for hours, let run down while showing GARMIN logo...
Tried all these things, yet Nothing changes.
Any other ideas for frozen nuvi 1390?

I am looking for someone who can take a SKP file and create a proper Garmin SRF vehicle icon for me. The car is a Corvette C6R file is downloaded from Google Sketchup

Thanks.

I purchased a refurbished 2460LMT GPS and in the process of setting it up/gettinf use to it, I notice that while setting in front of my house and pressing "where am I" it gives the wrong house address. I am parked in front of 4113 & it shows 4177. Is there a way to correct this?

Wow, now there's a deal for a LMT complete with 5" screen and Bluetooth. As I mentioned in the subject, the seller of this item is Garmin:
