Latest Maps worked fine

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).

Can't "GO" to custom POI

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?

Nuvi 3590 Route Calcuations have slowed down to a crawl

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.

Question re: Nuvi 255W requires SD Card for Map Update

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.

Audible Books

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.

Nuvi 765t, removing numbers from phone book in unit.

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!!!

Garmin Nuvi 350 Disable Auto Zoom Feature

Now that my replacement Garmin Nuvi 350 is here, I have been spending some time configuring it how I like it. I did notice this morning that the Auto Zoom is on and it looks like there is no longer a way to disable it from the unit currently.

2013.30 installation question

I have a Nuvi 1450 and today I installed the new maps but I'm not sure that everything went correctly.
First I downloaded the large JCV file and stuck it in a folder on my PC.

Uploading POI's

I'm the New Kid on the Block and see lots of new Places (McDonald's) NOT on these POI Files, so how do I go about getting them Added to a POI File?

Garmin External Traffic Signal Antenna Extension Cable / Booster Questions (Nuvi 2460LMT)

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2460 with a power mount on my dashboard. The GPS sits in the power mount so that I do not need to connect and disconnect the cable each time I use it Essentially, the base connects to the power cable which contains an FM traffic receiver. I live on the outer fringe of the Philly suburbs and find that the FM traffic reception is poor.

Nuvi 1450

Recently bought Nuvi 1450 and saw on "Google" how to dsplay 3 data windows on right hand side as opposed to bottom.

Now I can't figure out how to do it, and can't find it on Google again.

Any current users know how to do this?

Garmin MapUpdater treats my 2 nuvis differently

Installing the NT 2013.30 update today, using the Garmin website. After downloading the maps to my desktop, I then noticed the following:

Nuvi 1490T w/ 4 meg microSD card

Map Updater sees the unit, displays a message saying part of the update will be placed on SD card, and proceeds to complete installation.

Nuvi 260 w/ 2 mem SD card
