Garmin talk

We have a major new highway that connects 95 and 270 between Baltimore and DC.

I wonder how long before Garmin catches on? I'll bet right now your Garmin will be re-calculating for a half hour! Could be a record.

I have loaded them to the SD card using POI Loader BUT I don't see them. There does not appear to be an Extras spot like there is on my 660. I remember reading about it on here but I didn't have one so I didn't pay attention to the answer. Help!

I been enjoying my new Nuvi. Does the 2460 have proximity points/alerts? I see them under the Extras but I haven't seen or heard them yet. Does it need the Tourguide feature to work?

The file does work on my old Nuvi 760.

You can say "Find by name" and it will respond "Speak the name of a place". Find by name is not one of the choices in the main menu for voice command.

I'm wondering why my 1450LMT switches from a white background to a military khaki shade of green, and back to white again, when following a route with the map displayed. This has nothing to do with sunset or sunrise and seems to happen randomly. Thoughts?

I am attempting to set up an alert sound on my 1490LMT and have read many FAQ and submissions on the subject but am still a little fuzzy about using POI Loader. I currently have a separate folder with all my custom POIs stored there. Do I set up another folder for just the POIs I want to use with proximity alerts? When Loader runs in MANUAL you only have one choice for distance etc.

I just Return from a Trip to NY from Ohio I download the new version of REST AREA version AO. The new version does not work. Did not show on my Gps when I was near the rest area ,did not give me any allert. So I delete them and install the older version of the rest area.

I recently bought a Nuvi 2460LMT (5" Screen) and would like to install a screen protector on it.
I have had poor success in the past attempting to install on my Nuvi 765T, I ruined 3 of them in my attempts. They were inexpensive ones I got on Ebay.

Doing some research I found many complaints about people

Nuvi 50. Downloaded POI Loader. Downloaded a POI file (WiFi Hot Spots) from here to Windows PC. Hooked up Nuvi. Used loader. Loader found files and said it downloaded them. Now, how do I find them on my GPS?

Interesting blurb from The Consumerist:

The more I use Basecamp the less I like it. When I look at the details for a route it tells me the dist. & time for each leg. Is there a way to configure BC to show a running total? Mapsource shows leg time and total time. What I'm really after is the time to intermediate waypoints.

What does MTP stand for?

Ok, I will display my ignorance in order to let some others with the same questions as I have get some knowledge. The general topic is “hidden files” (in particular on the GPS device) and how to make them visible.

I have a 1490LMT that I am trying to grow accustom to and notice that when I use "Where to/Points of Interest/Spell" and make an entry the device only shows locations within 50 or 60 miles (may vary). Is there some option I can enter to use a broader search area?

I am aware of the NEAR options, and want it to be My Current Location, but want the NEAR distance to be broadened.

According to the literature, the c530 (StreetPilot) should be able to do this, but I am having no luck. I am trying to use it with the Rest Room POI's.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

I picked up a new 40LM and i need to transfer the custom poi's from my nuvi 200. I used mapsource and got my favorites but it didn't show my custom poi's ? Is there a way to get these ?

highway

My new Nuvi 50 has routes to Garmin USA, Garmin Europe and Garmin Asia included from the factory. How do I delete these without deleting other favorites I have installed?

Nuvi 50. Need to set deer lease as a POI. Since lease is in the middle of the country here in NW Texas, how do I establish a destination point without an address to enter?

I normally leave the Garmin AC adapter/traffic receiver in my vehicle. Now its winter here in the North East. Any thoughts on how cold weather will affect the traffic receiver component of the adapter?

Was anyone successful in downloading echoRoute from the Garmin site? I get an error message, contacted Garmin but they gave me info on updating map. They are not helpful.
