Can't put Custom POI on SD Card for 1350LMT

I purchased a 1350lmt today. Put in a microSD card, downloaded POI loader from Garmin website, proceeded to load custom POI downloaded from POI factory. POI Loader loads fine but when I tap on Extras, nothing. It says no extras were loaded. Called Tech Support at Garmin, the tech told me to put the custom POIs on the device itself. Why? Why?

Amazon.com for Garmin Updates

If you are looking for cheaper updates than Garmin sells them for amazon.com commonly sells the onetime and lifetime maps for less. The onetime is about $8 less and the lifetime is about $18 less.

Nuvi 1350 missing traffic search color code (red yellow green)

nuvi 1350
105-01554-10, v.5
2012.20 map
SW 5.40
The latest software forced before the software would allow me to install new map.

Traffic works, but the traffic search list is missing the color code on the left. When individual entry is clicked, it shows the color.

Geo tagging jpegs in garmin picture viewer

What is the easist way to geo code pictures that were not taken with a gpsr. Photos could be years old but I would now like to associate with a location (perhaps where the photo was taken or what it represents). Im aware of many free ware programs on the internet but they are all focused on using a gpsr to sync with pic locations.

Garmin nüMaps Lifetime North America Map Updates - $49.40

An Amazon seller currently has Lifetime Maps for $49.40, including the $6.44 shipping charge. This is the lowest I've seen them in a while. Note that this is for the physical card with the lifetime code, it is about $30 more to get the code with online delivery.

Can see but can't hear

"Why when I load my Private POI ( red light cameras ) I can see icon, but I can't hear a sound. I am using GARMIN NUVI 1450 LMT with SD card." How I can fix this problem.

give me a nudge (to buy 2460lmt)

Do you think it will get lower or has the price hit bottom?

Anyone good at using TSS voice editor for 660 Nuvi?

I guess...no, I know I screwed something up. I went into change the "recalculating", voice 0n my 660 Nuvi to my own creation and now when it's suppose to say recalculating it doesn't say nothing at all. I thought I backed up the original file butttt. What was I supposed to do to change the saying to play my creation? Can I retrieve the original from someone?

3790T and Mapsource

Has anyone had any luck getting Mapsource to work with the 3790?
I heard that it was not compatible.

Acura versus Garmin

I am about to buy a new Acura MDX with built-in navigation. I have been using a Garmin NUVI 660 for the past few years and like it. Does anyone have any experience with the Acura navigation system? is it time to retire my Nuvi? Thanks.

Garmin Nuvi 650 screen freezes

I own a Garmin Nuvi 650 GPS and I have not usd it for a year now. So I recharge it to give it a boost but after charging it, the screen freezes. I press the power button and it asks for my security password and I can't even type my password as the cursor blinks and I can't type. I tried resetting it and it did not solve the problem.

Any new update for the favorite icon (bug black dot instead) on current firmware?

Hi

my new 1390 is on current firmware
but when i set my home location
or any favorite poi, i will get a black dot.
i read here that it is a bug
but any solution yet?
doesnt matter if i tried to change to house icon or other , i still get black dot.

sorry if there is another post with the same question
i tried to search but did not see any?

3790 favorites

Seems I cannot get any sub categories to stick. As an example I would have a favorite named "Overtime sports". High-lite that in favorites. I then edit that poi and make a new category named Bicycle. Returning to Favorites, it doesn't show up. So I create another sub category in Overtime sports called bicycle1. Now returning to favorites it shows up.

Alert sound with Junction View

Can an alert sound be associated with the Junction view popup on a 2350?

Traffic Icon display

I don't have the FM transmitter cable for my 1490t. I use the normal charger. The traffic icon is not displayed on the main screen. The bluetooth icon is. If I get the FM transmitter charger cable will that automatically activate the FM traffic function? Do I have to pay extra for that service? The manual said if the unit is activated and I have the compatible FM transmitter cable its automatic.
