Most GPS devices (All Garmins) have a "cancel routing" or "Stop Current Route" button on the menu. I have a menu page that offers - recalculation, cancel or Add a route. You should too!

The TOM TOM One manual says

Start-up preferences
This button may only be available if all menu options are shown. To show all
menu options, tap Show ALL menu options.
For more information, see Hidden buttons and features on page29.
Tap this button to set what your ONE should do when you first switch it on. The
following options are available:
•
Continue where I left off - your ONE starts as it was when you switched it off.
Start-up
•
Ask for a destination - your ONE starts with Navigate to... menu. You can enter
preferences

My Garmin 1450 locks up and will not compute a route, or show maps. It is about 3 weeks old and this it the first trip for it.
I experienced the same issue with a Garmin Dezl 560 - which is based on the Nuvi. After experimentation with various very long routes the Garmin started with sudden restarts, lockups and other weird behavior. It became unusable - which seemed like a programming error to me.

After a Master Reset - clearing all user data (POIs / Routes / Tracks) the Garmin acted normal again.

A master reset is triggered by holding the right bottom corner of the screen for at least 20 seconds while pressing the power button once. A question appears after some time to clear all user data.

Recently I've upgraded to a latest software version through MyGarmin.com - haven't seen this sudden lock-up / restart issue since.

1- Turn off unit.  2- press and hold the bottom right corner of the screen. 3-While still pressing and holding bottom right corner, press and hold power button and continue holding both until a white screen appears with a black dot. 4- follow the on screen directions and your unit will be back to the day you first got it.

Will not plot route in mexico
I assume it works ok in the U.S., and most of Mexico. Assuming that, it will be one of two things. 1. Either the locations are not programmed into their software, or you need an update to your GPS. My guess is that they haven't updated yet. I would message Tom Tom to let them know your concerns- sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Good luck, know it's aggravating.

My Garmin nuvi 765t is directing me on local roads instead of highways, even though I selected ''shortest time'' in my preferences. I've owned other nuvis in the past, and never had this problem. Any idea...
Thats the problem it thinks the shortest route is the way it is doing it... switch mode back to normal. NOT shortest route.

Can i program a route that i normally take instead of the route the gps gives me
After you program your destination using 'Navigate to...', you can specify your specific instructions by using 'Find alternative' -> 'Travel via' and/or 'Avoid part of the route' until the generated route largely satisfy your requirements. then finally, 'Calculate alternative'
Hope it helps: let me know how you go.

Garmin GPS map 182: seems to work fine, but does not show navigational aids. Boat is tracked, and route is marked, plus previous routes shown. However, channel markers are not showing up. Any ideas?
Which channel markers? There is a settings menu for map detail, put that on highest (press menu once or twice to get to the setup menu)

Street Map Program for Garmin GPSMAP 295
Detailed road map data, with addresses, hotels, gas stations, etc. can be loaded into a data-card/cartridge/memory-card using Garmin's Mapsource software such as Metroguide or City Navigator. This can be changed as needed via a PC.
The 295 does not have driving routing/guidance through the streets as most of today's GPSs have, but it will show you exactly where you are on the street (but it should be switched to Road mode).
Driving routing is possible on the PC using Mapsource, but ithe route doesn't transfer well to the 295 because of the limits on waypoints.

Route calculation error
I was having the same problem and contacted Garmin support.

What I had done was turned off the Basemap that came with the unit. I only had the mapsource map street map on which I had purchased separately.

The technician basically said the unit needed the basemap to "locate itself". Somehow the basemap supports any maps you purchase separately. That seemed odd but once I turned the Basemap back on it calculated the routes and the error message went away.

If you have the Basemap off, try turning it on from the Map Setup - Information window.

Hope this helped.
