More Loquacious?

Before my recent update to my 3790LMT (SV 4.20) whenever the direction took me to a ramp that entered the Baltimore Washington Parkway, either North or South, the voice instructions stated "Take ramp to Baltimore" [even though I might be going South in the Washington D.C. direction.]

Just downloaded some custom POI and followed the directions for installing with prox alerts. Tested it out today and there is no warning.

Qustions about this:

1. Are all POI that include an mp3 proximity capable?

about the location of the jcv file. I've looked in the Garmin folder and all that's in it is garmindevice.xml and lex package. So were is this file? I'm using an imac with snow leopard. So if anyone can help me see the file that I don't see thank you.

I received the North America 2012.1 DVD and installed the new maps. I don't see a way to delete the 2008 map from MapSource. Do I have to uninstall via Control Panel?

Can someone please help me with some settings on the 765 that I recently picked up. I am trying the unit out and getting used to it here around home before we head out on a trip and I notice that to places I go all the time it takes me the long way around hence taking more time. When I go the way I normally would it recalculates and comes back with a shorter time.

Has anyone loaded a Nuvi GPX tracklog into Google Earth and noticed that the time stamp for each track point has a funky time? If I load my track log into Mapsource the track points have the right time. At first I though it was in 24H format, but it's not.

Wondering if anybody might have anny thoughts or theories on this; waypoints that I transfer to my Nuvi 885T no longer show up on the unit. In the past I've successfully transferred numerous points using Bing and Google (USB and wireless).

I just bought a Garmin 1490t, and enabled my Free Navteq traffic , I was wondering what the difference is between Free and Premium? I get no ads as it is.

My 2nd part of this question is Is Clear Channel a Good traffic software? (for Southern Ontario Canada)will it work with the same mini usb Plug that came with my 1490t?

Thanks

How do you delete the Custom POI in a GPS. I have 3790lmt. What files am I looking for in my computer.

It looks like Garmin has some more new Nuvis coming out with some interesting features.

Cannot download the POI files as computer says I lack the proper program to open GPX extension files. What am I doing wrong??!!

My 1490 has a text folder containing 98 folders. Which ones do I need. I only read English. I would like to delete the rest. That should free up about 37 MB.

I got a 1490LMT a few days ago and have been experimenting with the routes. What I want to do is customize a route from point A to B. So, instead of taking interstate X, I want to take hwy Y and hwy Z. I've tried 2 methods so far and not happy with either:

Hi GPS Poeple, all my poi's were doing fine execpt for my weigh stations and check points, so I reinstalled but now I don't have the bmp's nor the wav sound plus I still ain't getting the weight stations nor the check points can I get some help Thanks!

Twice recently my Garmin has routed me on surface streets rather than the freeway, with the surface streets running parallel to the freeway from one block to three miles away. My preferences are set for fastest way. A neighbor was telling me Garmin routes travel past their on-screen advertisers, but I have been unable to verify this. Anyone know anything about it?

Did the mp3 formatt replace the wav formatt?

If I am not mistaken, Someone created a list of icons that was large and easy to see. I did a search but nothing shows up. I thought that I saw it here. Does anyone have a recollection of this.

It appears that a number of POI files prompt me regarding "Proximity Alerts" when I am loading them.

I would like to NOT be asked that question for most of these files as that would allow me to load/reload much, much faster.

How can I turn off that switch in the POI file itself so that it does not pause to ask me by defaulting to on?

The city council is debating to outlaw red light cameras in the city limits!

Hi all,

Has anyone got this error message when using Mapsource to retrieve waypoints from your GPS ?

"Data could not be received because I:/Garmin/gpx/Current.GPX is invalid."
