Garmin talk

So I discovered a glitch in my 765t and went back and forth with garmin tech support about it. They finally decided to do an exchange order and have me send my unit in and then I would get a replacement. My question is since the nuvi 765t has been discontinued, would garmin send me back another 765t or would they send me what they consider to be a comparable unit?

The copper has been copped from the transmitter used for the Little Rock, AR area; therefore, no traffic data until the system is fixed. I have a new Garmin 1490LMT and it took a considerable amount of time to isolate the problem. Garmin support is outstanding.

Here's something interesting -- I discovered that the Garmin POI Loader, the one that can be downloaded from the Garmin web site, will delete the trucking database, if you command it to delete all custom POI's.

I read all the posts and downloaded the Harley Dealer POI. The file shows as gpi file on Garmin, but I don't see anything after restarting Garmin. What am I doing wrong?

HI,,, I have read thru the manual and checked my garmin and I don't see a way to save routes. I know you can in TOM TOMs..

HELP.. Thanks.. PJG

I am considering the purchase of a new NUVI unit, and the tracklog feature is an important one for me.

I am considering the 765t (refurbished), 2360lmt, and 2460lmt units.

EDIT: Also including the 775t (refurbished) to the list...

can somebody explain to me how to put poi on a garmin nuvi 1350lmt

Has anybody heard anything lately about whether Garmin ever intends to offer Garmin StreetPilot for Android Phone? As I look at there website, I see:

-Garmin StreetPilot for Windows Phone

-Garmin StreetPilot for iPhone

-Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry

-Garminfone (Which is an Android)

anyone know the correct custom poi icon format and size for 37xx series? the same icons used to work for my 13xx series, but not anymore on 37xx. then read else where that the icon needs to be 8bit bmp (256colors), it shows up now BUT it has to zoom-in all the way down to see a tiny square that dont look like a 22x22 pixel size..

It seem that I have downloaded the red ligt camera file twice. How do I delete one of them.

I've been using the "Garmin Lock" for a long time, which requires you enter a four digit PIN every time you turn on the GPS. Today I turn on my Nuvi 855 and the screen prompts me for the PIN, but it does not accept any keyboard inputs.

For some reason my Nuvi260 doesn't want to treat the Florida Turnpike as a toll road, while in the Miami area it insisted on routing me on the Tpke

I have set shortest or faster doesn't make a difference, also set avoidances of Toll Rd. and Hwy and still wants me on the pike.

Has anyone else in Florida experienced similar problem?

The Nuvi is running Navigator NT 2008

I went on a road trip from Toronto to Myrtle Beach and plotted my route on Google maps and then sent the route to my Garmin nuvi 660. Going down was fine it followed the Google route no problem. But coming home it did not go the same route that i programmed in for the return trip.

Hi,

How do I load POI icon to my Nuvi1390LMT? Do we have intructions anywhere?

I just downloaded and installed the POIs of the rest areas, but don't know how to intall the icons.

Thanks in advance.

I have downloaded POI's for Harley Davidson, Culvers and Best Western along
with their icons from this website. Using the latest version of Garmin's
POI Loader I installed these three POI's on my Garmin Nuvi 3790T. The
Harley icon shows up at the various locations I checked, but the icons for
Culvers and Best Western do not show up anywhere. I tried uninstalling all

I have a Nuvi 765T. I realize that plugging in the mini-USB into the Garmin to charge (even if its not connected to a computer) leaves the GPS unit pretty much unusable. Does anyone know of a charger that uses the standard Garmin charging port, but instead of going to a car charger adapter -- still goes to a USB port (so I can use a multi-USB car charger)?

Been playing with custom POIs and I can't seem it get anything to work.The only thing I see is the bmp image on the screen. I have these files in a folder I named..
My_Home.bmp
My_Home.csv
My_home.wav

The extension names are not a part of the actual name.They actually look like this..
My_Home
My_Home
My_Home

I was in Bayside, NY and wanted to find the quickest route to the Macy's in Douglaston. I spelled out Macy's and the nearest Macy's was 6 miles away. I did get myself to the Douglaston Macy's and while sitting in front of the store did another search on my Nuvi. Again, it did not show the Douglaston store. What gives? This store has been here for over 40 years.

I have a Garmin 3790LMT. When I do a simulation drive, it freeze the route before it starts. Does anyone else have this problem.
