Garmin nuvi feature descriptions

Speaks street names – Formally known as text-to-speech, this function allows the device to call out the name of the street for upcoming turns, so you’ll get “in one-half mile, turn left on Oak Street,” rather than just “in one-half mile, turn left.” The only current nuvi without this is the 1100 series.
Live traffic – A nice feature that isn’t quite ready for prime time. Expect lots of inaccurate reports as well as incidents that aren’t reported. Delivered via FM, this service is provided by the Traffic Message Channel, hence you will sometimes see it referred to as FM-TMC. Here is a link to a coverage map. Most Garmin nuvis with a T following the model number have ad-supported traffic (see reviews for screenshots). One exception to all this is the 3490LMT, which features ad-free HD traffic.
Bluetooth for hands-free cell phone use – Generally speaking, the sound quality has gotten much better on recent models, but check the reviews (the first column links to these) as it does vary.
Powered mount – The power cord plugs into the mount, rather than the GPS. That’s one less connection to fuss with when you want to use your navigator. I’m a big fan of these, especially when combined with a friction mount.
MSN Direct – UPDATE: MSN Direct services are being permanently discontinued as of January 1, 2012.
Multi-point (multi-destination) routing – A very nice feature, but not a critical one. If the chart says “no,” you can only enter one destination and one via point. This isn’t problematic since you can easily find locations under Favorites or Recently Found. The one exception here is the nuvi 2×5 series, which allows multiple via points, even though it doesn’t have the other true multi-destination features such as sorting.
Lifetime map updates – Garmin has started selling units bundled with lifetime map updates, which you can typically download quarterly. Newer models with these have an LM or LMT (the latter includes lifetime traffic) tacked onto the end of the model number.
Track display – See where you’ve been. This shows up as a thin blue line as shown below. It can be helpful in finding your way in unfamiliar areas. Found on all current nuvis, but only some discontinued models.
Speed limit display – 100% of roads aren’t covered, but I typically find that most are.
Lane assist – Shows which lane you need to be in for Interstate exits and some surface streets in larger metros.
Voice commands – A killer feature and it actually works pretty well on most models.

Garmin nüvi Track Hack

To convert the log files to GPX you'll need the small program that goes by the name wnutrak.

GPX track logging menu

nüvi 205

On 3 April 2009 dcnuvi and emmex, two users of the GpsPassion forum, discovered a new way to get to the (already known) hidden GPX track logging menu for some of the nüvi models.

Go to the Where Am I screen (by tapping on the vehicle symbol in map view mode or selecting 'Where Am I' in tools menu). Then tap on the words 'Nearest', 'Address' and 'Junction' in the following order:

'Nearest' in 'Nearest Junction' or 'Nearest Intersection'
'Nearest' in 'Nearest Address'
'Address' in 'Nearest Address'
'Junction' in 'Nearest Junction' or 'Nearest Intersection'

This hack has been confirmed in the following model: 205.

Does Garmin Nuvi 50 Have Sd Card Slot

Some firmware versions require a different key sequence:

v5.00: Go to the Where Am I screen (by tapping on the vehicle symbol in map view mode or selecting 'Where Am I' in tools menu). Then tap in sequence near the corners of the location text box: bottom left, top left, top right, bottom right.

nüvi 1490T Track Log Hack

Go to the 'View Map' screen
Tap on the 'Speed' indicator
Press and hold center the speedometer until the 'Diagnostics Page' appears
Select 'Diagnostic Logging'
Select 'Start Recording'
Check 'GPX' then press 'Start'

Log file is located in the '.SystemLogsgpx' folder with the file name YYYYMMDD_XXXXXX.gpx (track log is already in GPX format).

Note: the '.System folder is a hidden folder on the device (will not show up on the root drive in mass storage) and so it is not on the memory card. You will have to type it in manually into the address bar (example 'E:.system').

There are a number of similar hidden features on the 14xx series described in this post Nüvi Hidden Menus

Model description

nüvi 40

Product page at garmin.com with specifications and so on.
Seems to work with garmin.openstreetmap.nl maps.

nüvi 50

Tracks

Can store 10 000 points in internal memory, writes them out in files afterwards. Up to 20 files may be created.

Current trace is stored in GPX/Current.gpx file.

Maps

Can use map files from an SD-card or internal memory.

Can put multiple map '.img' files on SD card in Garmin directory and select which ones you want to see from Nuvi Settings->Map->Info interface.

To override map in the built-in memory, replace .System/gmapprom.img . This is the only way it worked for at least one user.

Waypoints

Similar to maps, a .gpx file containing waypoints can be copied to either the Nuvi internal memory or an SD card. In either case the file can be a name of your choice with a .gpx suffix, and placed in the Garmin directory. Be aware that the Nuvi will incorporate these waypoints into its internal list so if you later delete the custom .gpx file the waypoints will still be there and you'll need to clean them out some other way. Restoring a backup of the 'Current.gpx' file (from before the waypoints were uploaded) does not eliminate them, which suggests the Nuvi has additional memory that is not exposed through the USB interface. The user interface does not provide a way to delete them other than a tedious one-at-a-time process.

Routes

Although you can upload the individual waypoints comprising your route, the nüvi 50 does not seem to recognize the concept of a route other than the routes it calculates on its own. An uploaded .gpx file containing route data seems to be ignored, and the user interface does not have an obvious way to select a preprogrammed route anyway.

Pros

Big space for tracklogs

Cons

Rather sparse placement of trackpoints, only 'on changing occurrences', not every x seconds or x meters.
Locks to roads on the map: not much use when mapping changing environments. It can be put in 'off road' mode, but then it also does not do routing.
- Note: There is a (hidden) track log on these models, too. It is almost the same as on the 2x0. See Raw logging on nuvi 2xx/5xx/7xx/1xxx and How To: Garmin Nüvi Hidden Track Log (step-to-step, illustrated guide)

nüvi 1390 T

Garmin nüvi 1390 T pro tested. OSM Maps for Garmin (All in one Garmin Map) works fine. Routing works fine (with some few strange shortcuts). Street name reading works fine. Normal logging works per default and is written in /GPX/Current.gpx. Diagnostic mode with logging can be reached via pressing the speedometer (see above) some five to ten seconds. The 1390 T has a slot for a micro-SD card, an 8 GB card works. The card must be formatted with FAT32, so file sizes above 4 GB are not possible.

nüvi 1440

Garmin nüvi 1440 tested with software V4.40. OSM Maps for Garmin works fine. Routing works fine, but it's not possible to enter addresses, so need to select from screen, or existing POIs. Normal logging works per default and is written in GPXCurrent.gpx and GPXArchive. nüvi 1490T Track Log Hack above does work

Has a slot for micro-SD, at least 8GB works.

nüvi 1450

Garmin nüvi 1450 tested with software V6.10. Just plugged in SD-Cards (2GB and 4GB) from my other Garmin devices (60CSX/Legend HCx) in the available slot and it shows the map and does routing.

~~Not possible to enter addresses.~~ works for me sporadically, depends on the map, incompatibilities?

nüvi 1490T

Garmin nüvi 1490T tested. OSM Maps for Garmin works fine. Routing works fine, but it is not possible to enter addresses.

Track logging available. The recording interval is one second.

If connected to a Windows, Linux or OS X computer, the nüvi 1490T is shown as an USB mass storage device, the GPX file is located in folder GPXcurrent.gpx.

Advantages

Micro SD card slot that supports at least 8GB SDHC cards (maybe even up to 32GB)

Disadvantages

Track logging locks to the roads on the map.
- Note: There is a hidden track log on this model. See hack above for 1490T to record without the 'lock to road' feature.

nüvi 2457, nüvi 2495 and nüvi 2589

OSM-based maps work these devices (tested with garmin.osm.nl).

Map is not visible when put into the /Garmin directory of the device. When put into a /Map directory (create if not present) in the root directory, the map is visible. You have to go to Settings/Map&Vehicle/myMaps to enable the map.

If there insufficient space on the internal memory to add your map, you can replace the existing .System/gmaprom.img (tested on a nüvi 2589). Note that .System/ is a hidden folder; in order to access it, you might need to configure your file manager to show hidden files or to type the path directly.

nüvi 2460LTM

OSM Maps for Garmin create with mkgmap are working even with routing if stored as Garmin/gmapsupp.img on external SD card.

In mass storage mode the device has the usual ./GPX and ./POI folders were you can put waypoints and POIs, which will appear in the unit afterwards. Copying tracks and routes to the ./GPX folder seems to have no effect. Normal logging works per default and is written in ./GPX/Current.gpx. Diagnostic mode with logging can be reached via pressing the speedometer (see above) some five to ten seconds. The 2460 LTM has a slot for a micro-SD card.
