Garmin talk

I have been very busy creating a POI file for the Baymont Inns & Suites across the country. I've used their web site to find the location of the motels and then used GoogleEarth to determine the GPS coordinates.

Has anybody had any experience using the Nuvi 1370T. I have done a search on the site but cannot find any reference to the unit. I particularly like the idea of the unit because it has both North American and European map sets. I was wondering if both sets of maps would be updated or does it rely on the location where the unit was originally registered in.

Has anyone else noticed with the new map update, that upcoming streets are now displayed on the map itself (not the green bar)?

After driving around yesterday and today, I've found it is showing up to 4 streets ahead. I thought it was very cool that they've 'fixed' that little problem.

When I am driving, my Nuvi 660 frequently loses its power intermittently. I had the unit itself and the power supply replaced back when it was still under warranty, but the issue was never fixed. I suppose that leaves the cradle to be replaced?

Has anyone else had similar issues?

Anyone ever loose sound out of internal speaker? My FM works but no internal. I took it apart (don't go "OH NO) it is easy, I had this problem before I change the battery, but thought I would repair two items at once. All the connections were good.
Any ideas?

Can anyone recommend an external power supply I can use at home while listening to the mp3 player ??? I would prefer not to use the car mount adapter. Is it possible to power it via the usb port so as to maintain operation? Also, I want to avoid connecting to my computer.

After reading that a "corrected" 3D Buildings file had been released (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/28799) for the nuvi 7x5/zumo 66x to fix "maps locked" issues that some were having, I downloaded this fixed file and did a bit of testing. Note that I also have the original 3D Buildings file which was released with the 2011.10 map update download.

I have a Garmin 660 and just installed North America NT 2010.40 map, I still have City Navigator North America NT 2008 (It's uncheck)Often when I turn on my 660 it will say that I need to update the 2008 map, how do I delete this map?

But not on WebUpdater... 2011.10 fix? Hmmm.

I've noticed on the 2011.10 update, they moved them to the .xml file on the 775T. Lot's of new info in it as well it seems.

Check your rig, and see.

I wonder if all the problems with downloads, locked 3D maps, and other assorted problems are stemming from the fact Garmin made a mistake in releasing the Mexico Map with this update, and are trying to control the damage.

After all, they did charge $50 for it, and that would be a loss of a revenue stream for them.

What do you think?

Is it possible to only update one of the POI files that have already been transferred to the GPS? Many times I only need to update one or two POI files on the GPS, but currently have to run through the whole collection POI's with the POI loader. Seems I saw a process that would allow this, but have lost the link to it.

Can I leave the CIV extension files along with the GPX files or do I need to delete the CIV files once I load the file in the GPX format? This would be before I load the files with the POI Loader??

Just updated my 765T to 2011.10. Update process went smoothly but after disconnecting and restarting the unit, it gave me an error - "Cannot unlock Maps".

Called Garmin, and their tech support says they are aware of the issue with the new map (2011.10) and 7x5 and some zumo units. For some reason the 3D maps (or buildings) doesn't get unlocked and they will have a fix available soon.

I have a Garmin nuvi 1350, that has nothing to do with my problem which is....When I go to a download like Walmart POI's & I select the yellow box that says Garmin CSU & that take me to the download screen, I click it to download into my computer it tries to use Adobe it tells me that the Adobe reader can not open.....every attempt has failed......can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Has anyone else noticed this? On bootup there is a Canadian copyright notice which I never had before (used to be US) the 2011.10 update.

Has anyone tried the red light camera files on the IQue M3.

Just logged into the Garmin site and 2011.10 is available for download to my unit.

I just checked Garmin website..and yes ..2011.1 is here for download..
