Garmin talk

Hopefully they got it right this time...

And don't let the "7xx" confuse you. Garmin should change this to "7x0" since "7xx" could mean either the nuvi 7x0 or 7x5 series. This firmware is ONLY for the 7x0 series.

Changes made from version 4.90 to 5.40:

will the 1390lmt nuvi accept downloaded redlight sounds from this poi site?

Is anyone familiar with a Garmin Nuvi 2195 ??
Spoke with a friend that claims he has one, but it is not on Garmin's website.??

Well I used the GPS for an out-of-town trip for the first time this past week.... arrgghhh
The unit was updated (firmware & maps) after being unpacked.

Before making a decision on it's fate, I thought maybe the POI collective would have suggestions.

followed the faq:
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/6507

saved this site's red light + speed camera files to hard drive.

ran the poi loader.
- pointed software to the directory where files were saved. left everything else at default.

got this msg:
there was an unexpected error during the transfer of the custom poi file.

what's wrong?

How can I get my GPS to show what COUNTY I'm in? POI file? Map setting? Something else???

Thanks.

I've been considering upgrading from my 765 to this model. Have any of you had any bad experiences with the 2555?

Just got a 2460lmt and updated maps (2013.10). Noticed that the JCV files were about 445mb not the 775mb size when I updated my 1490t/sd card (stand alone file) to 2013.10. I certainly have room for them or does the update act differently with the 2460lmt. I'm showing lots of junction views on the 2460 but can't figure out the diffence in JCV file size.What don't I understand?

Don't know if this is the right forum but I have always edited the Garmin American Jill voice but the last update looks like a bunch of greek letters in the TTS voice editor including v290. Maybe Turbocc could look at this.

I have a Nuvi 2450.

I have two trips on the 2450 that I want to put on my computer and work on them in Mapsource.

The only way I have been able to find these two files on my 2450 is to show all files and under system there is a folder called "Trip" The two files are in number format with an extention ".trip"

garmin 2595 shows wrong zip code for my work address... What is the best way to correct it in my device and inform Garmin about the issue?

In my garmin acct I have a map upgrade that I haven't downloaded.

I think they usually release new ones in August, about a month away.

Should I wait for that, or will it be taken away, or what? I have been having some weirdness and I was going to plug the unit in and let it update it's software if it wants too.

But there is that upgrade, waiting.

What should I do?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 that I might want to get an after-market windshield mount for. Because I am using an Argent Data cable in the side mini USB, I need to continue using a powered cradle. Anyway, does anybody happen to know if any company makes an after market mount that is compatible with the existing Garmin powered cradle?

I've downloaded several POI's. I driven by many of these places that I have downloaded and the place is not showing up on the map. What am I doing wrong?

I have a used Garmin Nuvi 350 that I bought this spring. I was looking at the Garmin website and it lists the GTM 10 FM Traffic Message Channel (TMC) traffic receiver as being compatible. However, the online manual refers to the GTM 12 traffic receiver. Can either one of these be used? Or is this an issue where the GTM 10 was replaced by the GTM 12?

Hi... I have both a 255w & 465T...

SAQ's

The FM Traffic Receiver w/ 12/24 Volt Power Cable must be used with the 465T in order to p/u traffic ?

Can I also use the 255W cable and get FM Traffic on the 465T. ???

If I use the FM Traffic Receiver w/ 12/24 Volt Power Cable on the 255W will I get Traffic info ?

Changes made from version 6.30 to 6.60:

*Fixed an issue with 2D landmarks not displaying by default for some locales.

*Fixed an issue with backwards Arabic map labels.

Didn't fix the POI Sub Catagory Problem

I own a Nuvi 680 na and had purchased the lifetime map updates for North America. The most recent map update for all of North America exceeded the internal memory available.

Hi..We were RV'ing around the country and have numerous POI's I DL from here. Under CUSTOM POI's.. We are no longer RVing and would like to remove all the custom poi's which no longer are needed.

Can someone please point me in the right direction..

Thanks

I upgraded my Nuvi 750 to a 2555 LMT. Since the 2555 only had one voice, I transferred my favorite voice from the 750 to the 2555. It works except she won't say, "Recalculating" any more. I only did it a couple of days ago so I'm not sure what else is missing but she says street names when I tested it.
