any suggestions welcome. ps i have noticed that my wx folder is empty and i don't know what goes into it, maybe a map of europe?
thanks for the moment

Welcome
Welcome to the site.
We usually recommend the following.
There is a "Learn" button in the upper right of this page next to "red light cameras" that takes you to a Getting Started page. It is worthwhile visiting this page.
To make navigation easy, most browsers provide the following option. When you want to follow a link - but still keep your current page open - you can hold down the "Ctrl" key as you left-click on a link. That action will open a new "Tab" in your browser up on the "Tab" bar. When you then left-click on that new "Tab", you will follow the link - leaving the "Tab" you are now reading open and available to click on and return here.
So, using the "Learn" link, you might try the "Ctrl" - left-click sequence and then return here. You can return by either "X-ing" out of the "Getting Started" page (using the "X" on the "Tab" itself) or just left-clicking on the "Tab" for the page you are on right now.
Note that the Learn Button will give you access to two valuable reference pages -
the "Index" to all of the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and the Glossary of Terms and Links.
Since you are new here, I encourage you to go through a couple of the Tutorials.
The first link makes sure the settings on your computer are such that you can do more advanced POI loading.

The next link helps you make a backup of your GPS by attaching it to your computer. (NEVER do anything to your GPS until you have a backup). It also assures that you put your (newer) unit into a state where you can see all of the folders there.

Neither of my two units have weather, so I will not be of much help with your specific question.
From what I do know, weather seems to be part of a link with a smartphone. Is that correct? If so, is your 3590 still paired?
Smartlink

Welcome,
I believe weather is one of the apps available under SmartLink and requires a subscription tied to your smartphone. The app connection is either Android or iOS and if you change from one to the other, the app does not transfer. If you were say an Android phone user and are now an iPhone user, you need to buy the app again.

Always android and
Always android and subcription payed that's what annoys me most. i'll have my consumer's association write garmin a nice letter. thanks for the help anyway.

With the Garmin smartphone link, can you get the free basic weather and will your phone link to the nuvi, or is all weather (basic plus the paid advanced) gone now? My thoughts do assume that basic weather is free for you in Europe as it is here in North America. If not, ignore this.
Given a botched Garmin update that started all this, have you performed a hard reset of you nuvi, then re-Buetoothed it?
