Garmin talk

Hi All,
Just thought people may be interested in a deal on the Nuvi 3790LMT. It is a factory refurb unit offered by Walmart.com

I purchased one new, then purchased the refurb from WM for my wife.

My Garmin nuvi 785t was operating great. I was using with my car adapter. It failed to start last week All I got was the logo screen and go to the map loading and when it finished loading the screen went blank. What is wrong. The battery is charged and I did not have it on security lock.

I was out running errands today with my 3590LMT. I don't know what happen, but my gps was acting kind of funny. My dashboard wasn't showing what I had input into it. My VC commond was working. After I got home I checked everything and recovered my VC and dashboard. But now I have lost my Search Tools. When I use search it give me a msg "Map data in not available} (or no data available)

I just came back from Rockville, MD From 495 I headed north on I95 and around Beltsville I see Route 200 Toll Rd. To 29. It's open and it does look new but I would think the latest Garmin map would show it but it doesn't.
Anyone know how long that road has been there?

Hi all

I have a garmin nuvi 710, it has a good database of speed cameras.
How do i set up a poi for a mobile camera site
I want the poi to have voice alert and icon.

I believe i will need a gpx file plus a bmp file plus an mp3 (voice alert file) if this is so how do i combine the files into a poi.

I have a Nuvi 255w and just started using POIs. My question is: What format should I save sound files; wav or mp3?

City Navigator 2013.20 North America must be close to being made available. I believe 2013.10 came out on May 9th, so I'm guessing 2013.20 NA will likely be available sometime in the next week or so.

My Nuvi 2495 says that it has a max number of Waypoints/favorites/locations: set at 1000. Does this mean that I can only upload 1000 POI's? Is there anyway around that? I noticed a campsite file well over 1000 line items...

I have an older Garmin 760 with lifetime maps and traffic. After a software update last spring, my unit started freezing unexpectedly. Has anyone else had this same issue with Garmin software? They downgraded the software in June, which helped, but some features were lost in the downgrade.

nuvi 24xx (GCD File) software version 3.10
as of July 31, 2012

Changes made from version 2.80 to 3.10:

Improved Fleet Management Interface support.

After being forced to use Garmin's Base Camp for a few weeks now, I am really missing Map Source.

Is anyone else having trouble adapting, or is it just me?

I have a garmin 62s with sd version of city navagator. But I am fixing to. Buy a Montana 650. And sale the 62s. Can I move that sd cars to the Montana ?

After entering a first destination, it seems when I add a second destination to my 3590 it puts it first in line even when another, already entered location is nearer.

Hello I am new on this forum and hope you can help me.

Is it possible to create new groups of poi s on my Garmins ?

Are numbers allowed in a POI .gpi file name as long as I don't use the "@" character (i.e., "POI 7-29-12"). I want to put a date tag but want to be sure the Garmin doesn't use numbers without the "@" character in the file name for some other purpose like set proximity alerts.

Nuvi 660 Presently has latest Map Update.

Presently have 150Mb free...

I wanted to ask about files that can be deleted to save space... In preparation for the next Map Update...

I want to know how i can delete some files from my nuvi 1490 so that I can get more space for new maps.

I am trying to create a route using my nuvi 3590LMT. I must be doing something wrong. I can't seem to do it. Does anyone out there has every done it, if so, can you give me some instructions on how it is done.

Leaving my home for the next city south, Garmin always tells me to take a secondary route. But, since the motherboard between my ears take priority, I go north for 4 miles and hit the Interstate. About 1/2 mile past the turnoff for that secondary route, Garmin recalcs and gives me the interstate option. Every time.
