Re: Garmin Nuvi 1450 / 1460 - battery change

Postby cflai » Tue Apr 19, 2011 4:56 pm

Hi

my NUVI 1460 is due for a battery replacement, I found this Utube video clip here here here hereis extremely useful on how to open up the unit to change the battery.... only thing is that I have to find the battery first.

On second thought, I called AECO in Kuala Lumpur, they told me that I can have my battery changed for RM180.00 - they require 1 week to do it.

So now it is the cost versus the convenience..........

My 765 has near dead batteries but I still can use it in car through the Garmin car charger.

If I need to depend on batteries, I use an external battery pack which doubles as a charger for my phone :thumbsup:

Tried that with my 1460 when in Italy and New Zealand.. was definitely not a joy to carry an extra battery which has a connector and cable linking them together. Anyway with a good battery and the extra charger, I can have a total of some 6-7 hours of use instead of about 3-4 with a dead battery inside the 1460.. :D

1460 Nag screen

Postby wong01 » Tue May 03, 2011 6:06 pm

I installed the custom POIs in the SD card. After the unit boots up, a nag screen will appear with the words: "New Extras data found on card. Would you like to install this data........" I chose no.
Is there a way to disable this annoyance from reappearing every time the unit is used. Any advice/suggestion?
Many thanks in advance.
