garmin nuvi 1450

• Question:-My Garmin Nuvi 1450 GPS has signal problems? What do I do?
  I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 1450 GPS and it has some problems detecting the signal.
  I'm in my car and it cannot detect my locations after I hit Tools > Where am I?
  I live in Northern Toronto, however, it only shows the location to be some random place on King Street in downtown Toronto. Can anyone help me troubleshoot/give help if you've had the same problem? 10pts up on the line.
  
  Answer:-Charge the unit completely, power it up and let it sit with a clear view of the sky for at least 15 minutes. This should allow it to get a solid fix on your location. When you go back it should have a good signal and has located where it is exactly, set this as your home location.
  
  When using it in the car or traveling make sure it has a clear view of the sky. I typically will power mine up prior to leaving to allow it time to set its coordinates.
• Question:-Adding Chinese voice to my Garmin nuvi 1450?
  I tested the nuvi 1450 demo and it had Mandarin Chinese voice on it, but after buying the 1450 for myself it doesn't have it. Any way I can add the Chinese voice or where can I get it?
  
  Answer:-Yes, you can add the Mandarin Chinese voice to your nuvi 1450. Search online for "Garmin Webupdater" which is Garmin's desktop tool for nuvi updates. Download and run the updater, then when it's finished it will say "Check for additional updates such as voices?" Select 'Yes' or 'Next' and a list of languages will show up. Select Mandarin Chinese from this list and it will install!
  
  Also, if you are looking for funny or celebrity Garmin voices, check out NavTones - they are the best.
• Question:-can i find a parked car with the garmin nuvi 1450 lmt?
  
  
  Answer:-Only if you saved the location of the car on the Nuvi & then took the Nuvi with you when you left the car. GPS map units receive signals from the GPS satellite array, they don't transmit.
• Question:-Garmin Nuvi 1450 blank screen?
  I just got my GPS for Christmas. After I put my route in, the map appears and it works fine until I hit a particular highway. The screen goes black, the device restarts, then it resumes my trip. However, the map won't have any roads on it; it'll just have my car and my speed limit and the ETA. Then it'll do this again two more times. On the third restart, the map will reappear. (This usually happens about half a mile to one mile after it originally went blank.)
  
  Is the device just losing reception, or is there a defect?
  
  Answer:-I think it may be a corrupted map. It counts as a defect IMO.

  I have an iPhone that has a GPS application on it. About 3 months ago, my friends and I went to meet in Arkansas, northern part and it was a bit mountainous. There was one coming from Oklahoma. She was using a Garmin and I was coming from Kentucky and I was using the iPhone GPS application. On my way, my GPS worked perfectly, following every road it indicated, I reached my destination with no problems whatsoever. My lady friend coming from Oklahoma, encountered some dead spots along the way, the Garmin stopped working and she ended up in Little Rock, over a hundred miles off.
  
  I've used my iPhone GPS going to the west coast, up north in Ohio and down south Louisiana and it has YET to fail me. It takes me where I need to go.
  
  Hope this will help you out ..
• Question:-People with Garmin GPS..... tracking question! (Easy points!)?
  I have the garmin Nuvi 1450-
  I am using it in a location where the maps are very poor (and i have the most recent ones), so there are a lot of places i can't get to. I would like to have someone drive to a specific location with the GPS and then mark and save their routes. That way, i can go there, following the GPS-
  how do you mark a path to a location on the GPS? is this possible?
  THANKS!
  first one to answer well will receive 10 points!
  
  Answer:-Some GPS devices, like the garmin Map60,70 serries as well as newer oregon, and dakotas, have the ability to create "tracks" of where you have been. Those tracks can then be used to create a custom map that your Nuvi can read. I have made serval this way, It is a bit complicated however.
• Question:-how do you change the voice on a gps?

• Question:-Williams syndrome?
  Does anyone know anything about Williams syndrome? I know all that can be known from articles/internet website, however I am looking for something along the lines of personal experience with people who have the syndrome--- describe how the deal with life/ their physical impediments in ordinary life and their personalities
  
  Answer:-Williams syndrome (also Williams-Beuren syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder,[1] occurring in fewer than 1 in 7,500 live births. It is characterized by a distinctive, "elfin" facial appearance, along with a low nasal bridge; an unusually cheerful demeanor and ease with strangers, coupled with unpredictably occurring negative outbursts; mental retardation coupled with unusual (for persons who are diagnosed as mentally retarded) language skills; a love for music; and cardiovascular problems, such as supravalvular aortic stenosis and transient hypercalcaemia. The syndrome was first identified in 1961 by Dr. J. C. P. Williams of New Zealand.

  Answer:-Im doing a bio paper on the same thing and I found a Q and A site
  
  Q. What is the outlook for adults with Williams syndrome? [back to top]
  
  A. The vast majority of adults with Williams syndrome master self-help skills and complete academic and/or vocational school. They are employed in a variety of settings (ranging from supervised to independent jobs). Many adults with Williams syndrome live with their parents; others live in supervised apartments and some are able to live on their own.
• Question:-Is there any benefits from having Williams Syndrome?
  Is there any positive sides to having Williams Syndrome? (i.e being immune to another disease, quicker learner than normal people, etc.)
  
  Answer:-Overly friendly (excessively social) personality
  Individuals with Williams syndrome have a very endearing personality. They have a unique strength in their expressive language skills, and are extremely polite. They are typically unafraid of strangers and show a greater interest in contact with adults than with their peers.
• Question:-Which one of the following children is most likely to have Williams Syndrome?
  A) fifteen year old robin still says "gooder" and "goodest" to mean better and best.
  
  B)ten year old Martins language is typical for his age group, yet he has trouble with such simple academic tasks as counting a set of objects and learning letter sound relationships.
  
  C)Three year old Dana has a birth defect that makes normal speech impossible.
  
  D)Six year old Leigh understands much of what she hears, but she has yet to utter a single word herself.
  
  Answer:-Bookie bear is right, Williams Syndrome is most certainly a genetic condition and it is mostly certainly present at birth because of the distinctive facial features, the baby can have issue with feeding, slow to gain weight, poor muscle tone and joints appear to be floppy, along with a number of other medical problems, and intellectual & developmental problems, and some speech difficulties, but these little people are very sociable and tends to have a happy disposition.
  
  Saying all that I think the answer has to be C as Bookie bear said.
  
  
  I have worked with a few children with Williams syndrome and as I said they are very sociable and very happy, which made working with them a delight.

• Question:-what is the name of the protein coded for by gene in williams syndrome?
  is there a (protein coded with it or not) if there is tell me.
  
  Answer:-There is no protein that codes for it. It is caused by a deletion of over 20 of a persons genes. Specifically genetic material from the region q11.2 of chromosome 7.
  Here are some of the deletions and the charatoristics they present:
  
  ELN gene, which codes for the protein elastin, is associated with the connective-tissue abnormalities and cardiovascular disease
  
  LIMK1, GTF2I, GTF2IRD1, and perhaps other genes may help explain the characteristic difficulties with visual–spatial tasks.
  
  CLIP2, may contribute to the unique behavioral characteristics, mental retardation, and other cognitive difficulties.
  
  
  Hope this helps :-)
