Garmin Glo With Newer Smart Devices
Does anyone have any experience with Garmin Glo while using apps like Viago, HERE, Waze or Garmin Streetpiliot Onboard on their smart device?
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/oem/sensors-and-boards/glo-/...
I’m thinking of trying the product but at $99, it’s a lot to spend if there is little or no performance boost.

Backup Camera for Garmin
Garmin has offered a "20" backup camera for some time coupled with a 7 inch GPS. That's too big for me but they recently started offering a "30" backup camera which their website indicates will work with their GPSs as small as 4.3 inch (specific models). Reviews I can find for the 20 camera are generally positive but nothing yet on the 30.

Garmin xpressE Version 4.0.5.0
As today, a GE version 4.0.5.0
Open Garmin Express, then click in the TOOL in the upper right corner. Then ABOUT, then is your installed version and right click in CHECK FOR UPDATES TO EXPRESS.
All the best

2689 --- just added POI's (Including Sox.exe) Works... But where are they?
I'm successful in converting MP3's to WAV's, and uploaded our favorite POI's in the new 2689...
In 660 I could could search for them and display them, select them, and have them become a destination.....
Can I do this on the 2689??? I can't seem to find them in the menus...

Garmin Nuvi Rugged Case
Has anybody ever seen any rugged cases for the Garmin Nuvi 3597? I know that there are cases for traveling like this http://tinyurl.com/k5gxzn4 , but I am interested in one that would protect the GPS and allow it to be used at the same time.

custom POI multiple voice warnings
hi all...
I've installed the PGPSW speed cameras on my Zumo 390 and, after finally figuring out how to make the custom warnings work, it's giving multiple warnings of a camera and even when I've passed the camera.

Replacement for Nuvi 3790T? Does Garmin have any new flagship products coming.
My faithful Nuvi 3790T finally but the dust after 5 trouble-free years (touchscreen went belly-up).
I'm looking to replace it but I'm not liking the 2015 models they have so far. I don't like the cheap plastic construction and the non-powered mounts. I think the 3790 spoiled me.

GPS units with rearview backup camera?
Well, I have not replaced my aging Garmin unit yet.
But I have been noticing some units with a backup camera.
I looked briefly and the units I found were seemingly intended for an RV, which makes sense, I used to have an RV and a backup camera was very helpful.

Call Button feature with Custom POI's loaded to the Chrysler Media Center 430N?
Has anyone found a way around this? The pre-loaded POIs do allow one to call the phone number via Bluetooth.

What 7" Garmin would you buy, and why?
Wife says maybe we should consider a new a New Garmin.
I'm not certain...
We'd want 7" unit... I would assume Lifetime Maps and Traffic...
What is your preferences?
(This does not mean I am giving up on 660)
Free routable maps for Garmin
As from time to time there are questions about maps for different world regions I would like to start topic about getting them legally.
There are two links to places where you can get legal, free maps for Garmin GPS. They are routable, so can be used to drive when on vacations. Coverage can differ sometimes, as often there are non commercial projects created by users.
