Garmin talk

I am using a Garmin Nuvi 350 in my vehicle. Rather than use the regular 12 volt car cord I have been using a USB cord. Does anybody happen to know how many amps I need when I use 5 volt USB power?

Anyone know how to clear all trip info on a NUVI 40? I mean the bright blue lines that show where I've been?

Not in the Owners Manual.

Just now when I logged onto the Garmin dashboard, it told me that I had to download a mandatory software update, because a problem was found that the current version could cause my device to constantly think it needs an update or could crash. Then I got a 404 page not found error.

The WebUpdater found no such update. This I trust.

Garmin being squirrely again?

After downloading and installing the latest map updates from Garmin on my Nuvi 3790, I launched Garmin BaseCamp just to play around with it a bit and learn how it works.

Just order my 3590LMT, should arive in about 5 days. Will give my 3595LMT to my wife.

GPS Protection ..........

"Me? I'm not worried. I leave my GPS in the car. Sometimes I place it under the seat, sometimes in the glove compartment, and sometimes in the trunk. No need for me to take it inside with me. I don't believe that anyone could break into my car other than smashing the windows. I feel safe."

Hello,

I experienced a problem with my Zumo on my motorcycle today, the speed and the next street names were running right along with me but the map was a few blocks behind, freezing at points and not keeping up.

Think a hard reset will work? If so how would I do it?

Device Software update 6.50 is available for Nuvi 3590. Listed as 74.0 MB. Changes indicated are "Improved Software Stability."

This appeared June 7. I had last run a WebUpdater check on June 5.

Hi guys. I'm freaking out here. I just formatted my garmin 1450 and I don't know how to get everything back. It was stupid of me I know. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. Any advice how to fix it?

It looks good for the pilots with this application. I sure wish we could get a Garmin StreetPilot Onboard For Android application!

At Walmart.com.

driving from nyc to DC.

i noticed it just rebooted.
then cant find my EcoRoute HD device.

the 1490 was sitting in the hot sun on my dashboard.

i figured it just overheated???

i pulled into a rest stop.

after i used the facilities, i started the car and everything was fine. 1490 saw my ecoroute hd.

I am looking to reduce the amount of wear on the internal battery contacts in our new eTrex 30, Oregon 450.

A new Webupdater is on the Garmin site. For Windows XP3 and later.

Their acceptance page says, partially, ...

New York State has granted Suffolk County in Long Island NY to double its Red Light camera locations from 50 to 100. Adjoining Nassau county was also approved in March to double its cameras from 50 to 100.

These two counties will have 200 cameras which is far more than many other states combined totals.

What disturbs me is the following statement:

Hi Gang,

Ive looked around for the specific answer to this but can't come up with it anywhere.

I have some custom POI's on a memory card in my Garmin Nuvi 250w. Red light cameras.

I've just downloaded POI loader, but i still can't figure out where the loader come's into play, and how to get a tour guide mode so the alerts happen automatically.

Thanks for any help.

I asked this a long while back, but didn't save the information name/location.... So I ask again....

There is a file that contains all the favorites I've saved.... in my Nuvi 660....

And, If you back this up, can you reload it later in case your favorites get deleted from a reset, and by copying it back, does it reload all the favorites?

Thanks!!!

Garmin claim that the new models with Guidance 3.0 has better routing and better traffic avoidance. Anyone found it true? Is it worth upgrading?
