Garmin talk

On my Nuvi 660 I'm confused as to why I am showing a duplicate POI.

On the Nuvi 660,in the Garmin\POI folder I have a POI Factory Redlight.GPI file. When I check the extras it appears there and functions properly.

I also have a 8GB SD card in the unit.
That has several POI's on it in the Garmin\POI folder.
Those POI's both display and work properly.

Frequently after I start my 855, traffic information does not appear. Checking the GTM status debug screen, it shows the status as "Initializing, SID 128."

This will not change until the unit is removed from the cradle and reinserted. After that, the radio channel is locked and traffic information is received almost immediately.

There is a missing road by my house, I don't want to wait 6 months for a fix (I reported it). Can I add the road manually? On the Gps directly or on a PC program. It is a Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT.

I'm confused. I've been following the discussion about the Junction View file that either does or does not get downloaded as part of the NA 2012 maps.

I got a Nuvi 1450 and lifetime maps in July of 2010 and had a fully functional Junction View on the 1450 straight out of the box. After a map upgrade (I forget which one), I lost JV.

Anyway, the thread at

Quite honestly I get confused over all the different and sometime subtle differences between all the Garmin GPS offerings. I'm seeking input and opinions on the difference between the 2555LMT and the 1490LMT and which one is better in your opinion. Sam's Club has the same price for both so no difference there.

Changes made from version 4.60 to 4.70:

Fixed an error that caused the device to shutdown when using myTrends.
Added support for a new OEM mount.

I want to back up my Nuvi 765t but I forgot how to do this. I found the post by jgermann but it doesn't seem to work with Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I downloaded the 2012.30 map last night. Took awhile but it downloaded. Anyway, when I try to shut off the 765t, I have to hold the shut off button before it shuts down. Now it is shut down but won't restart. Is there anything that I can do?

Hi, so as you probably figured I deleted in past some unneeded files like Vehicles, Voices, Text and Help files.

However it occurred to me that if I ever wanted to restore it to full factory state (with just updated firmware and maps) then I won't have the Text and Help files that I deleted

For the GPX experts out there, I created a file with copious amount of information in EPE and have problems with both my GPSr

If I place the text in the Comment field my 2460 clips after a large number of characters is displayed, my 260 doesn’t show the [More] button.

Street Pilot c550 was working fine until 2012.3 map update. Now, when I zoom out on map (or to view a route) to 120 miles, unit takes almost 2 minutes to load map and some random states will be blank or partially blank. If I zoom out to 200, 300 or 500 miles the screen goes blank and doesn’t even say “loading map”.

How do I install an mp3 file that I found here onto the Garmin?

Thanks

(PS I tried the index and the Garmin Nuvi Tips and Tricks website but could not find what I needed.)

Hi everyone,

Is there anyway to tell which time zone map (gmaptz.img) version I have in my Nuvi ?

Thank you

I get SIX speed camera ahead announcements as I approach a speed camera in Oak Ridge, TN (Excel line 340 of the Speed Camera file). There are two cameras (one east bound and one west bound) approx. 100 yards apart on a 4 lane road with a center turn lane. I have the alert set as a distance rather than speed because the speed limit is 20 during school hours and 35 otherwise.

Changes made from version 5.40 to 5.70:

• Added new Fleet Management Interface features.
• Fixed Fleet Management Interface errors.
• Added support for Maged, a new Arabic text-to-speech voice language.

I have an oddity going on -- but it's probably only odd to me! I saved my waypoints from MapSource to a .gpx file, then loaded it into GSAK. The waypoint names show up in the "code" column, and the "Waypoint Name" shows things like 29-Jan-05 9:16:08AM".

Is there a way to square this away???

Thanks,

This gives neat info like location elevation and icons to find nearest police, hospital and fuel. Wouldn't it be nice if additional icons were available their for food, attractions, etc.

Sure would save time from going back to the main menu - where to? - poi's -etc...

I Updated the new map, when i engage the address icon, it comes up no map data available. When I hit the icon points of interest, and one of the icons, food, fuel, transit, lodging, shopping, etc. it says no map available. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

1490T

I am looking to purchase a Nuvi 3490lmt and upgrade from my current nuvi 885t.
Does anyone have this Nuvi and what are your thoughts?
How much internal memory does the nuvi 3490 lmt have?
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have the Nuvi 1350T which does not have Junction View, but it does show the Lane Assist which have the highlighted arrows on the upper left corner to indicate which lane you should be in.

My question is, the Lane Assist data, is it inside the gmapprom.img/gmapsupp.img or the Lane Assist data in the same *.JVC file which also contain the junction view data?
