I have a Nuvi 2595 and I can never plan a trip on the Florida Turnpike. It won't show. What can I do?

Make sure you have the tollways option selected and if that doesn't do it then try updating maps again. Good luck.

Instructions suggest that you call Garmin and tell them your problem. Hopefully they will be able to put a fix in.

You can chose to use Hwy or avoid certain road types. It will not navigate you on unverified roads. I'd highly recommend a paper map along with any GPS for that worse case scenario.

Hi,my nuvi 1300 has not recieved any satalite reception in the last 4days.I've turn it off/on many times a day. I don't know what to do. One web site said to do a hard reset. A couple times it said I'm due for map update. Should your nuv1300 still operate with out a update? Can't afford right now . I bought it at cash America pawn shop.unit malfunction started 10 days after 30 day return.

Thanks for the info. My nuvi 360 says it has 2008 version of the maps. Is that V8? Or will I need to call to get, V9, or V8.1? Thanks!

In response to R. Sherborne's post you mention that you were able to update your 2008 maps to 2009 for free. I'm extremely interested to know where and how you did this. I am anxious to update my Nuvi 360 to the 2009 maps but the garmin site charges $70.00. Any tips would be appreciated.

Yes I have a 2595 myself and it works like a charm. The only thing it doesn't do is the garmin traffic. The traffic antenna is only on the garmin oem plugs. If you don't have the traffic, then no worries.

Hi Diggity Skitty:Try de-activating the traffic service on your nuvi 265T by going to settings. See how it works out for a couple of days. If the strange recalculating (or re-routing) is still happening, then go ahead and return it. It may just be the NAVTEQ FM Traffic Service. Also, have you updated your software to version 4.6 from the Garmin WebUpdater on the Garmin.com Website? See if the updated firmware works. I did that for my 265WT so I will see how that works out. Here's the website: http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp Hope this helps. Ed --- Hi Diggity Skitty:Try de-activating the traffic service on your nuvi 265T by going to settings.

I just bought the Garmin 255 and found out it has no maps downloaded.I thought it would be ready to go out of the box.It was a re-furbished unit,but I was under the impression it had everything ready for business.Was I wrong in my assumption?silverado_03

I have a Nuvi 2595 LMT. You could go on Garmin's website and check specs. It works great if it fits.

I would suggest you do the system update right away. I used mine for a trip from Baltimore to Toronto, and I definitely should have done the update (because there are now roadways which weren't there a few years ago when this model released). Do the updates and your Garmin will work better than ever.

Sorry for the late reply, I just got my 1450. I use Garmin's Mapsource trip/route planning software. I've been using it for over 3 yrs to plan routes with various Garmin's and it works great! you can zoom way out or in very close, click on the road you want to be on, zoom out and click the next. You can insert waypoints etc. When we plan a trip I always plan it with Mapsource.

If you don't know your end point (usually your home is the starting and ending point), guess. You can always edit it later and have Garmin re-order it later. AFAIK the Garmin doesn't check off the stops you have made, it just tells you when you arrive by saying "make a U-turn". Odd, but that is the way it is. To see if there is a firmware update, plug your Garmin into your computer and use WebUpdater, but that really isn't going to change how Garmin uses multi-point routing. As far as map updates, there are up to 4 updates per year that one can download, but that isn't the reason (or main reason) Garmin routes you oddly at times. Garmin has been made aware of the problem and stated they are looking into it (which means absolutely nothing at the moment). If you go to gpsmagazine.com and look up the review for the 760 (not the 765) it gives a bit of detail on multi-point routing which may help you.

Yes, it will work with the Nuvi 2595 LMT. :) I like having the AC charger because I then get to the car with the unit already charged AND I can easily charge the GPS before heading out on a walk. While the car charging cable is very important to have, as well, I would highly suggest having both.

Hello,I just got a 1490T. Please excuse my ignorance, but I decided on that unit for the traffic feature as I commute over 35 miles each way. Thing is, I can't find a description anywhere that tells me what I need to do to have access to just the traffic info i.e. do I need to have the GPS active even when I don't need it - I know how to get to my office, for example. I'm a bit confused......Regards,Barry

I have the same Garmin Nuvi1300 and it worked 3 times now it says cant calculate route when ever I try to navigate anywhere. I am shocked that this is a product of Garmin!

You can cache maps in google maps but no directions once you leave wifi. I use navfree as it gives on the fly directions no wii needed. Just download state maps before you leave the house (see my review, its the second on the main page)

I bought one for my 2595 and it works fine ... well, I think my cell phone has quicker and more current traffic info, but that's another matter. pjm
