Garmin talk

Recently it will put a destination and time in the green bar on top when I start the car and it turns on. I have no destination set. It most frequently will say " Home 5 min" or once "VIllage Inn 6 min" . I haven't told it to do anything. Am I missing a setting someplace?

Hello, I have a garmin 465LMT (465T) with lifetime maps and traffic receiver. It died on me two months past the two year extended warranty. I called garmin, they will exchange it for a refurb. unit for $110.00. I'm just wondering if it's worth it or if someone here knows where new ones can be purchased for a little bit more?

Yesterday morning, I took my wife to the emergency room at Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City, CA (broken wrist and thumb). My Garmin took me from south of town up US 101 and had me turn left on Burtschell St. After 1 block, I reached 41.76728,-124.19516, where I was to continue straight ahead (Check it in Google Earth or Maps).

The Garmin Nuvi 50 does have an SD memory card slot, just fyi. That is probably a no brainer, but I found it amusing that there were no diagrams in the manual labeling the parts of the unit, so I couldn't be sure. I read the full manual online and saw that it says the 50 does have the slot, but it isn't mentioned in the quick start guide.

On my nuvi250W I am unable to download a gpx file although I can download a csv file. I have used the Garmin updater, which did not help. Any suggestions?
Also, I am unable to download, to my computer, the latest version of POI Loader2.7.1. I have Windows 7, and I receive a message that states "This is an unsupported OS version. This application requires XP SP2, or greater".

Hi Everyone , Admin and other Hi ranking Members.

Changes made from version 6.60 to 7.10:

Fixed an error that caused the device to lock up and drain the battery when powered down.
Fixed an error that caused the device to periodically lose GPS signals.
Fixed an error that caused the device to shutdown when receiving traffic events from a GTM 60 cable.
Fixed several route-calculation errors.

Planning to clean up extra files and move whatever I can to my SDHC card.

I pretty much know which files can be deleted thanks to all the posts and links such as: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=c6483e8a197b8356&sc=documents...

Except there is no mention of folders such as tutorials, tracker, LEX_PKG, audible and probably some more in hidden system files.

I have the garmin 465 Lmt. I just got it and found this website. I downloaded the low clearance underpass custom poi. Now my location Is not right Something is wrong with my gps now Is there anyway to take off the pois? when I hit where am I it is telling me I'm somewhere I am not I did a master reset but that didn't do anything.

gpsdog For some reason my 1490lmt always opens up with my last driving position and have to await gps to reset to home.

1450T - New

Available for the next 9.5 hours only.

If you're looking for a new (not refurbished) unit this may be of interest.

Hi Everyone, Good day Admin and other Associates.

gpsdog: I just bought myself another Garmin, Gps 1490LMT.

I just spent several hours downloading the software to update a 755t and an 855. In both cases I received a warning that the device doesn't have enough memory to load the updated maps - the map selection(s) offered don't meet my needs so I'm forced to go without any updates.

Lifetime map updates?? I apparently got ripped off by Garmin again.

My first time playing with Google Maps.
Using Google Maps, I get directions between two addresses in different states (NY & PA). It offers three routes to take, none are ideal. I move the pointer and change the direction of the route to take highways I want. Everything works fine and the driving instructions clearly display the route I want.

Has anybody else here had a problem with their vehicle power cable? The reason I ask is my wife told me that the vehicle power cable for her Garmin Nuvi 500 was no longer working. Upon closer examination it appears as if the wire inside the plastic insulation may have broken.

Just bought a nuvi 3590 after having my 755 stolen. Trying to upload my adresses using basecamp. it seems to upload on the device but addresses are not showing on the unit. I used export to internal memory of the gps... the process has upload but nothing on the unit afterward... ? Never had problems before with mapsource.

Is poiloader still working with 3590?

Hoping some people may have experience with the Central America map from gpsworldnet. http://www.gpsworldnet.net/product.php?id_product=278

I'm particularly interested in the Nicaragua detail and POI's if anyone has used this map there.

Hi..searched the forum, but could not find an answer for my question(s).

Is it possible for me to create a BMP of my Jeep and put into my GPS?

From what I see, yes you can create a BMP, best if its 24 x24 or 18x18...example-for Starbucks etc..

But I don't see how to load it into my 465T as a BMP.

Please assist or redirect me.

I reviewed the tutorial on how to download cemetary poi to garmin gps. When it was completed, he showed how to access a certain cemetary. when he accessed it he pressed "GO" and the garmin proceeded to the site. I downloaded walmarts poi on my 2350 lmt garmin unit. I pressed "where to", pressed Extra, showed custom poi, selected a certain walmart store.

Thinking about replacing my GPS. Can anyone comment on the Garmin nuvi 3490LMT and/or the 3590LMT?
