Garmin talk

Costco just dropped the price of the Nuvi 1490T to $249.95 in their warehouse. An additional $20 since yesterday. I just picked one up and wow....It is really great. Everything about it is better to me than the 7XX series. It doesn't have MP3 or FM transmitter but I never used them anyway. It has blue tooth and picture viewer and many more new items in my opinion.

I have a Nuvi 755T. I saved a location via the "Where Am I" function. I came back to the Nuvi later and I tried to find the Lat/Long coordinates of the site I saved. I can not find any way of getting the coordinates.

Is there any way that the Nuvi will tell me the coordinates?

How do you go about updating the maps in different units using the same computer? Wouldn't downloading two or more map updates to the same computer over write one another. I know that you have to have a separate Numaps activation number for different units as the map updates are tied to each unit.

Once I joined up I spent hours touring through the available POI files and sorting them into folders to add to my 780.

I download almost every redlight camera file as they are released and update my nuvi probably about every 6 weeks or so for that specific redlight file. If I see a new camera loaded for my area I always update with that release.

Thought I would post this.

The 855 did it again today. It not only switched from Jack, which I normally use to Jill, it also switched my coordinate format from DD MM.MMM to DD.DDDDDD. I called Garmin and their tech support said they were working on several software bugs, but they said I was the first one to report the problems I'm having.

how do i update my gps with current red light camera locations

Does anyone know when the Map Source Beta will be released as a final version, or update?

I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 205 and ordered a map update (nüMaps Onetime City Navigator North America NT 2010). The email states the disk will not be here for 4-6 weeks. I was thinking that since the Nuvi 205 maps are already 2010.1 that I might just put the update onto my Garmin StreetPilot 2730, which has older maps.

Hi. Tried to search the forum for this but kept ending up back at the main search uh, place.
Question:
Is it possible to re-download Mapsource from Garmin? I cleverly deleted it and the icon while chasing down another problem (Norton. Deleted that and went to Vipre, problem solved) and now can't figure out how to get it back.
Help?
Thanks
Freep.

Thanks a lot for your help

Does anyone know if the Nuvi 765T is being discontinued? On the Garmin site it still shows but when you choose the wide screen filter block on the left side it does show up there. There have been many problems with this unit and I am wondering if Garmin is finally admitting it by discontinuing the model.

I downloaded different sounds for alerts to go with the red light cams and speed cams POIs -- but i can't get them to work.

I'm going back packing for 16 days and I have plotted my route using between 120 and 150 waypoints for each day. Each day is held in a separate .gpx file but how an I use these on my Oregon 300 without reconnecting to a computer during the trip?

Trying to download Red Light POI and install it on my 265WT. I was able to download the file (using Windows Vista) but POI loader (and I can't find where to have POI loader retrieve the file from). Any suggestions (other than get rid of Vista LOL.)

I have a Nuvi 765T that I have downloaded some POI files for and also the appropriate icons. As far as I can tell the files have the exact same name except for the extension types. I still can't see an icon for any of the POI's. I want to be able to zoom out and have any of the POI's of a specific type display. Is this possible? What am I doing wrong?

In case anyone is looking, onsale.com is selling refurb 765t for $134.99 after mail in rebate. And Garmin gives you the same warranty and one-time map update as a new unit.

I think I'm not understanding the ad in the Office Depot sales paper of 4/11/2010.

For the Garmin 1350T unit we just purchased (yes I am a total n00b) it says, "Smart Upgrade - For only $30 more get FREE lifetime traffic updates."

(first of all what is "free" about paying $30?)

I received the latest reply to Garmin's attempt to fix my traffic problem with the 765T using v. 390.

"At the moment engineering has been looking into this issue. We have not been quoted a timeframe in which to expect a fix for this issue, but it is something they are trying to diagnose and resolve.

Once a fix is in place, I will be sure to let you know."

i know these are not the same lat/long.but i wrote two seprete files using each of these formats.first one decimal degrees,second one degrees min.sec.both ways loaded in the gps fine so why convert anything.im still a bit lost
