How do I reset the current data, I like to reset the current trip odometer to know what I am doing every trip and I cannot get it to reset.

Hello...there are 3 buttons on the computer. The button on the far left must be held down until your trip odometer resets. Some times I have had to push and hold...let up on button....and then push again. Please don't try to use the instruction manual that came with the odometer. The instructions that are written on the back of the computer are much easier to follow. Sure hope this helps. Have a great weekend, Barb

Hold the triangle button for 5 seconds, then the all current date will be cleared.

For everyday trips press and hold the left button till both speed average and miles go to zero usual goes to zero in about 5 seconds at the most. To rest the whole system I had to take the battery out and go through the whole set-up procedure. Hope that helps you out.

I sent mine back as I could not reset it. Also because it would not accurately count my steps. Sorry.

Agree with Michael .... have fun!! If you are not experienced KEEP IT IN THE SMART MODE.. my buddy lost his today as the GPS didnt sync and he watched it fly to CUBA :(

No, the odometer readings are not captured. The travel miles can be captured, but it is not the function of the device. It is the software (app) which probably uses smartphone's GPS to record travel miles.

Yes you can see those items just by moving through the various displays. The odometer is the only value that does not reset manually. It only resets when you change batteries or do a hard reset of the device.

I have the same question. The road that shows on the menu bar is the next street you will be turning on. How can you get it to display the street you are presently on?

Ok I am finding the best way for me to manage multiple stops is just to punch them in as Add as Via Point, then go to Custom Routes, Current Route, Save, then Manual Reorder. When you are Done the GPS shows you a map with your Start, Stops and End flags along the pink route line. Manually Reorder again if needed. If you know that you can't park on the side of the street Garmin wants you to just over/under shoot your turn, it will reroute you to go around the block and still reach your point. I updated the unit with the latest maps yesterday and it still has a problem with oneway streets.

Hello Sara,Sorry for the late response; The answer to your question is yes. You can reset the steps/distance as many times as you want during the course of the day. There is a cumulative total that gets saved. So if you record your steps before you reset them, then you can keep a history of the sets during the day. By the time the next day rolls around, the memory only save the cumulative total for that day, not the individual sets. Just press the bottom most button to clear and reset each count, which btw does not affect the total count for the day. Cheers, -Ben

It does not work well for me when counting laps. Hoping it is a software thing, tomtom has claimed they have an update in the work/soon though, so keeping fingers crossed.

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

It only shows you what road you are on when it is NOT navigating to a destination you put in. When you are navigating to a destination the unit is "working" and shows you what it thinks you NEED and that is the NEXT turn and NOT the street you are on. This makes perfect sense. If you are in an area you don't know you don't need the road you are on but rather the road you turn on next and the distance to this road and turn. After all, it already gave you the road you are on when you turned on it. If it just said, "turn on Elm St." then you are on Elm St. :) Make sense?

Do not set navigation when the car in gear.Check SD card, make sure it s firmly on slot.

You can go to one of the points, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. At this time I get rid of all tracks that are not needed because they may confuse things. Then go, not necessarily in a straight line, to the other point, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. Zero your trip odometer. Then, click "Where To" and select your first waypoint. Your Trip Computer screen should show distance to destination, and the map screen should have a track that runs right to it. I have not found a way to view the elevation difference directly, because I have never had a need for that. I hope that answers your question. There may be a better procedure, but that has worked for me.

Hanna, yes to both of your questions. Once a destination is selected, on the upper right hand corner of the map page is your arrival time and miles to that destination. On another page you have an odometer that can be reset, total hours, hours moving, hours stopped, average speed, max speed, elevation, percentage of trip to destination and hours left to reach destination. I really like all the features on this GPS. Good luck.

Could swear I saw that you can do this, but can't verify this- pretty sure your wheel size, mph/kmh, ect. is saved, but you might loose your running data [that particular trip and 'tour']...nice little unit so far- I haven't had to change the battery yet!

I have not tried yet, but I have the same question. Will test after current trip over.

Not quite clear on what you mean. Essentially the update is supposed to give you new info that wasn't included in the previous data, like new streets or some that were previously excluded. One problem I have found is, that when trying to update maps, the system does not allow it, and Garmin will NOT answer when queried about it. VERY disappointing and to my thinking fraudulent (as it prevents me from getting my money's worth.)
