@@efeurganci7796 Hi, please put your finger on the area where the battery icon used to be for 60 seconds and the diagnostic screen comes on, there you can see the battery charge level.
Good refresh. I'm setting my Garmin Nuvi 1300 up with current maps from OpenMapChest. Have not used this in several years and some reminders were appreciated.
Thank you so much for this!!! It worked perfectly and saved me $70. Note to other people trying: The website was down for a few weeks so I had to come back a few times, but persistence paid off.
Hello sir, I have a Garmin Lmt-D with an incorporated dashcam for several years. It is a good device but I have a problem with the volume of the spoken instructions. The volume is at maximum but not loud enough. Before this I had a TomTom and both were BT. The big difference was that I could connect a BT speaker to the TomTom to hear the instructions loud and clear. The Garmin does not have the BT in this direction, only from a cellphone to the Garmin. Can I change the BT-direction of the Garmin or is the only way to open the Garmin and connect an external amplifier directly to the speaker in de Garmin? Thank you so much for your help. Best regards, Geert
Greetings. There are two types of Bluetooth connection: Host and accessory. Some devices can be either a Host or Accessory device, but most are one or the other. A Bluetooth Speaker is an Accessory which is why you can link a Bluetooth Speaker to a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, headset, or other accessories. Garmin LMT-D is also an accessory device. It acts as a speaker for your Smartphone, so it can't be linked to another accessory, such as the Car Stereo. However, there are some models that link to Car Radios via FM Radio, such as Garmin Nuvi 765. The Garmin Zumo Motorcycle Navigation Devices are the only Garmin Devices with the Host capabilities. They do that so that the rider can link it to the headset in their helmet.
Apparently, you can't select a destination and then force Garmin to go there via another place. Kind of ridiculous on Garmin's part. Thanks for the video though!!
Excuse my bad English, I have a 1390 that when it finishes calibrating it just restarts the process and the window to confirm the calibration never appears, do you know what I can do? Thanks in advance.
Your English is great, the problem that you have with your GPS is a bad digitizer. You need to replace it, and you can get them for a reasonable price on eBay.
LOL never end a sentence with a proposition: "Where is my hotel" WAS correct you adding the "AT", at the end of your sentence, made it IMPROPER English. Just saying... You had it right👍, before you corrected yourself. btw, GREAT ENGLISH, that is Not a joke!!! Thank you
Dear Jules Grill, I really appreciate that you took the time to correct my mistake. Most people would have laughed and wouldn’t have even mentioned it. English not being my first language I do struggle to speak correctly. Thanks again
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101, great video! Thanks so much! As a college English professor, I must agree that your English is great!! As well, there actually is no written rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition. Sometimes it MUST be done! When someone told Winston Churchill about this "rule" of English grammar his reply was: "that is something up with which I will not put," since everyone else would say "that's something I won't put up with."
Is the screen glass or plastic? And is the screen clear or matte? I bought a Tom Tom on Ebay. I was disappointed when it arrived and the screen was matte, and cheap plastic! I filed for a return and sent it back.
There are types of touch screens, One is called resistive and the other one is called capacitive each one has advantages and disadvantages Resistive touch screens consists of several very thin layers. When someone presses the touch panel, the top layer bends to make contact with the bottom layer, closing a circuit and causing a current loop. Resistive touch screens can generally only be used as a single-touch device, but they cost less to make and incorporate into your application and respond to any type of touch. They can be used effectively for simple panel controls, such as an automotive GPS panel control or other keypad-replacement applications, or in applications which require gloved use. Capacitive touch screens are commonly made of two layers (a surface insulator and a transparent conductive layer beneath it). Since the human body itself is an electrical conductor, when the touch panel is touched with a finger (or a conductive pen), the electrostatic field of the panel is distorted. The touchscreen’s controller is able to tell where this distortion is on the touch screen and sends instructions to the rest of the system accordingly. Capacitive touch screens accept “Multi-touch” controls and require less physical force to register a touch. They’re longer-lived than comparable resistive touch screens, making them suitable for high-grade panel controllers or mobile phones.

Thank you for your compliments, actually I already know what is best for your application.

@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 My Nuvi has been down for a while and have been looking around for some time now. I started out thinking I was going to get the Dezel, but then the RV came out and thought for sure this was the one. The reason I am unsure now about the RV was the Outback. Not that it is better or worse, but has a lot of the same features of the RV but I have been off-roading in my truck with my GPS, and the screen was white because the dirt road was not on any map. Having Topo maps were there would normally not be a road at least would show me where I was instead of showing just a white screen. Can the RV have the Topo feature that the Outback has?

Great video, but you never mentioned why you decided to buy that particular model. I am looking for a replacement for my C330 that has to be at least 12 years old. The battery died and from what I understand they are not supporting it with new maps anymore, so no need to replace the battery. I'll replace the unit, but,,,, WHICH ONE????? I'm in Florida and rarely travel very far, but do plan on some trips around the country and into Canada. Any suggestions????
I think this is a good choice, NUVI 1300, or 1450 they are very cheap on eBay and the maps are fully upgrade-able. I am using one myself and I am pretty happy with it.
I just got the 1350 series second hand and I click on change state/providence and the next screen will not appear. It goes right to the keyboard. Why would that be
Thank You for the correction, later after the creation of this video I realized that UK and India is also under the Mile system. Although Canada, Australia and New Zealand which are all commonwealth countries they use Metric system. About the Motorways it's good to know, I didn't know that, so thanks for teaching me an important fact.
Unfortunately Garmin designed it in a way where the nearest one is on top of the list and he ones that are most far away are at the bottom. I wish they would have organized it in alphabetical order, as it would make more since and easier to find. There is however the manual search where you enter the first couple of letters and it will display only those favorites that start with those letters.
Great. now Im going to pick this up on craigslist for $15! Just hope its not garmin locked! great video. Does this have free maps updates? GARMIN nuvi 1450? Or tells you what lane to be in?
The only ones that have Free Map Update are the ones that model name ends with LM or LMT. The LM stands for Lifetime Maps, and the LMT stands for Lifetime Maps and Traffic.
No for updates you need to connect it to he PC Computer USB Port, and the computer must be connected to the internet. This model does not have WiFi or Sim Card
Use the Software called Garmin Web Updater and it will change the number of old map warning to much fewer messages. If you want to get rid of it for sure then you have to actually update the maps. Even when you do update the maps you will see the message for one or two more times then it will stop flashing for a year or so.
Great video. I have a Nuvi 1300 and it has a micro SD card slot. I went online and found updated map and when I was at work trying to copy it to the Garmin, it was to large a file (it was North America) and it wouldn't transfer from my computer to the Garmin. Due to this I lost the map that was in it. Now here at home my computer isn't seeing the Garmin when I plug it into the USB slot. Is there a way to get the map that was on it back?? I looked thru all your videos and saw nothing regarding using the micro SD card slot or how to get maps on the 1300. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment, Garmin Nuvi 1300 does not have enough internal memory to handle the entire North American Map, so you will need to run it off of the Micro SD Card. Simply insert the Micro SD Card in the GPS Memory slot and you should be good to go. About your GPS not being detected by your computer has nothing to do with deletion of the original old maps. It could be due to bad USB Cable, Bad USB Port on the GPS or computer, System files missing, or bad system board on the GPS.
TECHNOLOGY TIPS thanks for the reply. I found out what it was, thanks for your other video on repairing the usb connector on the GPS unit. I took it apart and it had a bad connection. I fixed it and put in a microSD card and all is working now! That’s for such great videos on this unit and being so thorough with your videos!!
Hi, There are two ways you can do that, you can either download Garmin Express from Garmin website, or you can do it with Garmin Mapsource as in this video ruclips.net/video/IhRg7KjoQrQ/видео.html
Yes indeed, but you must leave at least one language like American English or else the GPS will not speak the directions. Although it will still work normally but no voice.
Actually it does, I used a Garmin Nuvi 1450 on my flight during my Trip to Germany. You have to hold it next to the Airplane Windows for a long time for it to receive Satellite signals. One it has a signal it will continue to work as long as it is next to the window. As soon as you move it away from the window it will lose satellite signals again and stops working. This is due to limited outside visibility in airplanes. They fully shield the plan from outside radiations and radio waves for safety reasons, otherwise passengers and crews would be showered with cosmic rays with severe health consequences. Despite all these safety measures cosmic rays such as alpha and gamma rays gets through the protection shield and harms people at a rate of nearly one Medical X-Ray worth of Radiation per hour of flight.
Many Thanks! I know now why I did not get a signal from the satellites. I will take some scotch tape with me to try out and hopefully successful. @@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101
1) I was able to get latest maps for Nuvi-1450. The problem is that I did not have enough space on the device, do I had to choose part of the country to get maps for. That part worked. 2) Later I added 16GB sdcard, but could not initiate any updates. I did not have a message that card was not recognized, etc. Update was hanging for a few hours with 0% progress bar. Question: Could this be the case that nuvi-1450 cannot work with new HC cards? Or there is something else? Thanks!
@@pavelbakus2950 You simply download the software from Garmin called GarminMapUpdate and it should automatically connect to Garmin Map Hosting Servers. Here is the link to Garmin Map Update Software download.garmin.com/lmu/GarminMapUpdater.exe
I have a nuvi 1450 and I inserted a 32GB class 10 SD card with a transfer rate of 100 megabytes per second and it put the maps on that just fine.. I'm not sure what was wrong with the original poster's SD card unless the SD card was bad.
@@UhBuddy1976 Thanks for your input. Yes some work flawlessly but I had some issues with a 32GB Samsung Micro SD. Keep in mind that having a 100BM Plus transfer rate will not benefit when you are limited with a slow speed reader in the Nuvi 14xx series.
Garmin NUVI 1450 - after last update (12/2/2022) turn it on it go's to new york, change to connecticut it doesn't recognize any city's. Every time I turn it off then turn it on it starts in new york (again) and still won't recognize any cities in new york OR connecticut or anywhere else for that matter. I guess it just shit the bed...
This doesn't have a boat function because it is not a marine GPS, however you could still put it on Pedestrian mode because there are no streets in the water to follow. You do however need to install water charts to use this on a boat.
@@abidmustikhan1045 Unfortunately it is not, it only works with Garmin Street Maps, Garmin Topographical Land Maps for hiking, and limited support for Garmin water charts
hi, i have a garmin nuvi sat nav and every time i switch it on it shows my starting location as about 30 miles from where i actually am living. its been in storage for a while so would anyone be able to advise please , thanks from the batman.
Hi, this is a simple fix download the Garmin Web Updater and run a full firmware update on it. After the update let it sit outside under a clear sky view to update its satellite positioning.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 thanks for your reply, I've been watching alot of your reviews about a few Garmin devices and they're very nice however when it comes to the Bluetooth functions no videos really explain their functionality or drawbacks. Even the functionality of the headphone Jack. I wanted to know specifically in the models that have a jack, can I connect the GPS to a mobile phone over Bluetooth to get the functionality of hands free calling etc and plug a headphone jack and take calls/ get directions/ listen to music? Which ones are possible and which ones are not? If I connect a Bluetooth headset to my phone and then connect the GPS to my phone since today's phones can connect up to 5-6 devices simultaneously, will the audio be routed to the headset? So I can hear music and take calls and get directions straight to the headset. Also what if I attach a Bluetooth transmitter to the headphone jack on the GPS will I be able to connect to my wireless headset directly or to a mobile phone ? Going back to the Bluetooth options where you can connect a phone and then there's an option to add audio, what does that do? What can it do? I know there's a list of nuvi 765t, 775t and 785t that let you connect a Bluetooth headset to it for directions but havnt found any videos or tutorials for the above information. I'm just working on a project and just doing some research but unable to find all the answers. Would be interesting to find out if you still have the devices to try it out and see if they work. Please do send me a link incase you decide to try out the above. Thanks for your reply again 👍
@@anonymousw1985 I will source one of those models and make a Bluetooth specific tutorial about it. Also here is how Bluetooth technology works. There are two types of Bluetooth devices, A ( Host ), and B ( Accessory) you can only sync a Host to an accessory but not two host together or two accessories together. For example you can't sync a Bluetooth speaker with another Bluetooth speaker, but you could sync a smartphone to a Bluetooth speaker. With a Garmin Nuvi 765t, the GPS is the accessory like a speaker which plays whatever the phone plays and you can even control the skip/replay/volume through the speaker. Syncing the phone to it, will disable the smartphones internal speaker or earpiece. So to listen to the phone and music etc. You must connect your Headset to the GPS. But not to the phone. You can't use a Bluetooth headset because that is an accessory device not a host device. Having that said the smartphone can only link with either the GPS or the BT Headset not both. And the GPS cannot connect to your BT Headset because they are both accessories not host devices.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thanks for that 😊 But if this is true then it might be actually worth check out what actually works and it limitations, also I've got a set of creative bt speakers that connect to each other to work as left and right channel while being connected to my mobile phone wonder how that's possible if you say it's not possible. Also I'd really like and appreciate it if you could explore the add audio option under the Bluetooth menu in those models and see what are the possibilities of adding any devices there and also see if the GPS will connect to bt headset and mobile or just one. I know you have already explained it and it might not work but it'll be good to know unless you've already tried it out. Thanks for the detailed reply. This is helping me alot. Please do send me a link when you do manage to make a video I'm very interested. Thanks once again and good luck 👍
Hi, yes you can input Longitude and Latitude on this Nuvi and it will take you there. However it will only do it for areas where you have the maps for it. To do it on land like Forest, Desert, Mountains etc. you need Land GPS or a GPS with Topographical maps on it. If you enter Coordinates on this one it will take you there through the closes roads and streets and if your destination is somewhere where there is no road it will have dashed lines for you to follow. Here is an example ruclips.net/video/x0OIVz_u5LI/видео.html
@@abimaputra So just enter the coordinates and follow the dashed lines the problem is that it might try to take you form places that are impossible to cross. For example a river, a ditch, a canyon etc. If you have a Topographical Map for that Forest it will know where the trails are and it will not send you through thick dense forest that is impossible to cross. You can also use a 2nd Drone if you have to fly at the exact coordinates where the first one was lost, then you can visually observe from a distance as to where the first one has fallen.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 can i do that with Garmin Nuvi 1460? Or please advice may be the cheaper and reliable nuvi series for that.. Thanks so much Sir. This really helpful information for me tho. 🙏
@@abimaputra No problem, and yes you can do that on a Nuvi 1450 simply click on Where to then scroll down to Coordinates it has an icon of the world globe
All you have to do is get the Maps for India on a Micro SD Card and slide it in to the Micro SD Card Slot in the GPS. You can get it either from Garmin or other third party open source maps.
Thanks a million for your constructive criticism. This is how I can improve my video qualities by listening to people like you who actually cares enough to point out my weaknesses.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Weakness seems harsh. Just appeared that you lost your train of thought and didn't edit. I have gained help from several of your videos.

I think this is a good choice, NUVI 1300, or 1450 they are very cheap on eBay and the maps are fully upgrade-able. I am using one myself and I am pretty happy with it.
Thank you, I really needed this video!
You are very welcome, and I am glad it was helpful to you
I just got the 1350 series second hand and I click on change state/providence and the next screen will not appear. It goes right to the keyboard. Why would that be
Make sure a map is selected by going to, Settings, Map, Map Info at the bottom of the screen and check the square box next to the map.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I had to update it n required 7 updated as the last person hadn't updated it.
thank you very much, very helpful explanations. Cheers from Argentina.
You are very welcome my friend. Stay safe
Safe Driver is defined as having Safe Mode "On". Sorry about that.
Agreed 100%
very thankful
Most welcome
Very well done. Thank you.🙂
Thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you for you feedback,
That was rite on point....taught me a lot.......thanx.....
I am glad it was helpful, and thanks for your feedback
I'm in England United Kingdom which is Europe and we also use miles NOT kilometers. .and our autobahns are called motorways not highways
Thank You for the correction, later after the creation of this video I realized that UK and India is also under the Mile system. Although Canada, Australia and New Zealand which are all commonwealth countries they use Metric system. About the Motorways it's good to know, I didn't know that, so thanks for teaching me an important fact.
Favorites. Is there a way to list alphabetically? Currently I have to scroll down a long list.
Watched your tutorial several times, learning!
Unfortunately Garmin designed it in a way where the nearest one is on top of the list and he ones that are most far away are at the bottom. I wish they would have organized it in alphabetical order, as it would make more since and easier to find. There is however the manual search where you enter the first couple of letters and it will display only those favorites that start with those letters.
Great video!
Thanks!
VERY helpful . Thanks
Glad it was helpful! thanks for your feedback
Thank you for this Video real helpful..
You are very welcome sir, thank you for watching it.
Great. now Im going to pick this up on craigslist for $15! Just hope its not garmin locked! great video.
Does this have free maps updates? GARMIN nuvi 1450? Or tells you what lane to be in?
The only ones that have Free Map Update are the ones that model name ends with LM or LMT. The LM stands for Lifetime Maps, and the LMT stands for Lifetime Maps and Traffic.
I have a question, if it requires an internet connection, you need a sim with acces to internet, right ?
No for updates you need to connect it to he PC Computer USB Port, and the computer must be connected to the internet. This model does not have WiFi or Sim Card
Need you help on Nuvi 1350 Where I am unable to bypass the Map Update Notice Screen as soon as GPS is powered on
Use the Software called Garmin Web Updater and it will change the number of old map warning to much fewer messages. If you want to get rid of it for sure then you have to actually update the maps. Even when you do update the maps you will see the message for one or two more times then it will stop flashing for a year or so.
Thank You for sharing. Very helpful!
Thank You!
Great video. I have a Nuvi 1300 and it has a micro SD card slot. I went online and found updated map and when I was at work trying to copy it to the Garmin, it was to large a file (it was North America) and it wouldn't transfer from my computer to the Garmin. Due to this I lost the map that was in it. Now here at home my computer isn't seeing the Garmin when I plug it into the USB slot. Is there a way to get the map that was on it back?? I looked thru all your videos and saw nothing regarding using the micro SD card slot or how to get maps on the 1300. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment, Garmin Nuvi 1300 does not have enough internal memory to handle the entire North American Map, so you will need to run it off of the Micro SD Card. Simply insert the Micro SD Card in the GPS Memory slot and you should be good to go. About your GPS not being detected by your computer has nothing to do with deletion of the original old maps. It could be due to bad USB Cable, Bad USB Port on the GPS or computer, System files missing, or bad system board on the GPS.
TECHNOLOGY TIPS thanks for the reply. I found out what it was, thanks for your other video on repairing the usb connector on the GPS unit. I took it apart and it had a bad connection. I fixed it and put in a microSD card and all is working now! That’s for such great videos on this unit and being so thorough with your videos!!
J & J True Outdoor Adventures Thank you, I’m glad you found it helpful
What site can I link to find free map updates for my Garmin Nuvi 1300 series
Only got navi 200 how do I download update maps.
Hi, There are two ways you can do that, you can either download Garmin Express from Garmin website, or you can do it with Garmin Mapsource as in this video ruclips.net/video/IhRg7KjoQrQ/видео.html
can I remuve exstra lauguages from 1450 garmin gps?
Yes indeed, but you must leave at least one language like American English or else the GPS will not speak the directions. Although it will still work normally but no voice.
UK uses miles.
Thank You for the, and yes I found that out later
Why does the GPS not work on flight?
Actually it does, I used a Garmin Nuvi 1450 on my flight during my Trip to Germany. You have to hold it next to the Airplane Windows for a long time for it to receive Satellite signals. One it has a signal it will continue to work as long as it is next to the window. As soon as you move it away from the window it will lose satellite signals again and stops working. This is due to limited outside visibility in airplanes. They fully shield the plan from outside radiations and radio waves for safety reasons, otherwise passengers and crews would be showered with cosmic rays with severe health consequences. Despite all these safety measures cosmic rays such as alpha and gamma rays gets through the protection shield and harms people at a rate of nearly one Medical X-Ray worth of Radiation per hour of flight.
Many Thanks! I know now why I did not get a signal from the satellites. I will take some scotch tape with me to try out and hopefully successful. @@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101
1) I was able to get latest maps for Nuvi-1450. The problem is that I did not have enough space on the device, do I had to choose part of the country to get maps for. That part worked.
2) Later I added 16GB sdcard, but could not initiate any updates. I did not have a message that card was not recognized, etc. Update was hanging for a few hours with 0% progress bar.
Question: Could this be the case that nuvi-1450 cannot work with new HC cards? Or there is something else? Thanks!
Two things, First the card must be no larger than 8GB for your Nuvi 14xx, and 2nd the Card must be formatted in FAT32 file system not NTFS or eFat
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 thanks! This information is nowhere on Garmin site... Always wondered where people get it :)
@@pavelbakus2950 You simply download the software from Garmin called GarminMapUpdate and it should automatically connect to Garmin Map Hosting Servers. Here is the link to Garmin Map Update Software download.garmin.com/lmu/GarminMapUpdater.exe
I have a nuvi 1450 and I inserted a 32GB class 10 SD card with a transfer rate of 100 megabytes per second and it put the maps on that just fine.. I'm not sure what was wrong with the original poster's SD card unless the SD card was bad.
@@UhBuddy1976 Thanks for your input. Yes some work flawlessly but I had some issues with a 32GB Samsung Micro SD. Keep in mind that having a 100BM Plus transfer rate will not benefit when you are limited with a slow speed reader in the Nuvi 14xx series.
Garmin NUVI 1450 - after last update (12/2/2022) turn it on it go's to new york, change to connecticut it doesn't recognize any city's. Every time I turn it off then turn it on it starts in new york (again) and still won't recognize any cities in new york OR connecticut or anywhere else for that matter. I guess it just shit the bed...
Actually if you go outside you will get satellite signals and only then it will recognizes your local cities.
Which Usage Mode if in a boat in the ocean?
This doesn't have a boat function because it is not a marine GPS, however you could still put it on Pedestrian mode because there are no streets in the water to follow. You do however need to install water charts to use this on a boat.
Is this compatible with Navionics?
@@abidmustikhan1045 Unfortunately it is not, it only works with Garmin Street Maps, Garmin Topographical Land Maps for hiking, and limited support for Garmin water charts
Thank you so much
@@abidmustikhan1045 No problem brother.
Is there a way to copy favorites to a Rand McNally GPS/
Yes if you use www.gpsbabel.org/

hi, i have a garmin nuvi sat nav and every time i switch it on it shows my starting location as about 30 miles from where i actually am living. its been in storage for a while so would anyone be able to advise please , thanks from the batman.
Hi, this is a simple fix download the Garmin Web Updater and run a full firmware update on it. After the update let it sit outside under a clear sky view to update its satellite positioning.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 that is great! thank you for the quick reply! have a nice day sir .
@@brucewayne7838 No problem, and you too!
No Bluetooth? Or Bluetooth demo?
Sorry the Bluetooth feature is only available in the 1390, and 1490 models. So I will make a new video about Bluetooth using one of those models.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 thanks for your reply, I've been watching alot of your reviews about a few Garmin devices and they're very nice however when it comes to the Bluetooth functions no videos really explain their functionality or drawbacks. Even the functionality of the headphone Jack.
I wanted to know specifically in the models that have a jack, can I connect the GPS to a mobile phone over Bluetooth to get the functionality of hands free calling etc and plug a headphone jack and take calls/ get directions/ listen to music? Which ones are possible and which ones are not?
If I connect a Bluetooth headset to my phone and then connect the GPS to my phone since today's phones can connect up to 5-6 devices simultaneously, will the audio be routed to the headset? So I can hear music and take calls and get directions straight to the headset.
Also what if I attach a Bluetooth transmitter to the headphone jack on the GPS will I be able to connect to my wireless headset directly or to a mobile phone ?
Going back to the Bluetooth options where you can connect a phone and then there's an option to add audio, what does that do? What can it do?
I know there's a list of nuvi 765t, 775t and 785t that let you connect a Bluetooth headset to it for directions but havnt found any videos or tutorials for the above information. I'm just working on a project and just doing some research but unable to find all the answers. Would be interesting to find out if you still have the devices to try it out and see if they work. Please do send me a link incase you decide to try out the above.
Thanks for your reply again 👍
@@anonymousw1985 I will source one of those models and make a Bluetooth specific tutorial about it. Also here is how Bluetooth technology works. There are two types of Bluetooth devices, A ( Host ), and B ( Accessory) you can only sync a Host to an accessory but not two host together or two accessories together. For example you can't sync a Bluetooth speaker with another Bluetooth speaker, but you could sync a smartphone to a Bluetooth speaker. With a Garmin Nuvi 765t, the GPS is the accessory like a speaker which plays whatever the phone plays and you can even control the skip/replay/volume through the speaker. Syncing the phone to it, will disable the smartphones internal speaker or earpiece. So to listen to the phone and music etc. You must connect your Headset to the GPS. But not to the phone. You can't use a Bluetooth headset because that is an accessory device not a host device. Having that said the smartphone can only link with either the GPS or the BT Headset not both. And the GPS cannot connect to your BT Headset because they are both accessories not host devices.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thanks for that 😊
But if this is true then it might be actually worth check out what actually works and it limitations, also I've got a set of creative bt speakers that connect to each other to work as left and right channel while being connected to my mobile phone wonder how that's possible if you say it's not possible. Also I'd really like and appreciate it if you could explore the add audio option under the Bluetooth menu in those models and see what are the possibilities of adding any devices there and also see if the GPS will connect to bt headset and mobile or just one. I know you have already explained it and it might not work but it'll be good to know unless you've already tried it out.
Thanks for the detailed reply. This is helping me alot. Please do send me a link when you do manage to make a video I'm very interested.
Thanks once again and good luck 👍
@@anonymousw1985 Hi, Here is the video I promised to make ruclips.net/video/ZuZNjAL4sjc/видео.html
My gps defaulted to more data but I changed it to standard
I have the Nuvi 42 but it basically works very similar so still thanks for the tutorial
On the Garmin Nuvi 42 you can chose either setting, More Data, or Standard
It shows no map available
In that case you will need to reinstall the maps using GarminMapUpdater.exe
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 thanks
@@Jr_blendz07 No problem
UK uses MILES
Thanks for the info
COOL.

Can I input long lat and nuvi show me the way there? In the forest, say.
Hi, yes you can input Longitude and Latitude on this Nuvi and it will take you there. However it will only do it for areas where you have the maps for it. To do it on land like Forest, Desert, Mountains etc. you need Land GPS or a GPS with Topographical maps on it. If you enter Coordinates on this one it will take you there through the closes roads and streets and if your destination is somewhere where there is no road it will have dashed lines for you to follow. Here is an example ruclips.net/video/x0OIVz_u5LI/видео.html
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I need to find a crashed drone location Sir. In the forest. Not urban areas
@@abimaputra So just enter the coordinates and follow the dashed lines the problem is that it might try to take you form places that are impossible to cross. For example a river, a ditch, a canyon etc. If you have a Topographical Map for that Forest it will know where the trails are and it will not send you through thick dense forest that is impossible to cross. You can also use a 2nd Drone if you have to fly at the exact coordinates where the first one was lost, then you can visually observe from a distance as to where the first one has fallen.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 can i do that with Garmin Nuvi 1460? Or please advice may be the cheaper and reliable nuvi series for that.. Thanks so much Sir. This really helpful information for me tho. 🙏
@@abimaputra No problem, and yes you can do that on a Nuvi 1450 simply click on Where to then scroll down to Coordinates it has an icon of the world globe
i want to use in india, can you expline for it or message me
All you have to do is get the Maps for India on a Micro SD Card and slide it in to the Micro SD Card Slot in the GPS. You can get it either from Garmin or other third party open source maps.
Erm, I live in England and we use miles, so it's not EVERY other country apart from the US of A that uses kilometres!!!
Thanks for the clarification, I will make sure to mention that in my future videos.
Basically, a very thorough walkthrough of the kit, but I just wanted you to know that we still talk in "old money" in the UK!!
