POI Files using Basecamp
Just looking for a census of how many people are using Basecamp to make their POI files? With POI Editor giving trouble right now, I decided to give it a try and I found it quite easy and you can even use Google Earth in the process. Only two programs are needed; Basecamp and POI Uploader. I encourage you to give to give it a try.

Nuvi 3597 Lessons Learned
I just loaded the last map update.
The internal memory was close to full.
I was taking an airplane/car trip to the east coast.
The bean bag stand and magnetic cradle were left behind for weight and space purposes.
I checked the operation of the nuvi by plugging into the car.
Things lit up and I was good to go................

Mass Storage (works on one computer but not the other)
I have a peculiar situation relative to mass storage.
My desktop will recognize my 3597, however the laptop will not using the same cable. Also using the same cable, both computers will go to mass storage for my Montana 610.
I have tried using several other cables, but it just doesn't help.
When connected to the laptop the 3597 does turn on, but does not go to mass storage.

Problematic POI (only shows 60)
I've downloaded the "Canadian Rockies Peak Finder" POI and although it is quite dated in age, the description states that there are over 1500 points listed. Now when I download it I only get 60, and Ive deleted the file and then reinstalled it (POI Loader ) numerous times and it still remains at that 60 points mark..am I to assume that it is just incorrect in the description?..
Large JVC file working on Nuvi 2599
I was reading about the large JVC file on the thread:
"What is the large Junction View file for Garmin On The Road devices and do I need or want it?"
And it says on there that :
"Melaqueman - May 7, 2016
Added an indication that the large JCV file may not work with the nuvi 2797"

Hey all,
Does anyone know the coverage of Garmin's traffic service in Canada?.. forgive me I'm as still new to this whole traffic service thing but my unit has the built in receiver as apposed to it being on the power cable (if that makes a difference)
Planning a trip East into Manitoba and Ontario and would love this feature to work.
Thanks in advance!

The GPS's Way or the Highway
We're checking out our new Garmin DriveAssist 50 while on vacation. When we switch up drivers, I've been devouring REAMDE by Neal Stephenson.
Came across this humorous passage in the afternoon:
Garmin express not installing on win10 computer with a .net fail
I re installed Win 10 on a Sony Vaio and cannot get Garmin Express to install. It worked before it was re installed. .net Framework seems to be the problem. I installed the .net repair tool but that never worked. Has anyone got a solution to this.
Cheers Steve

End of the line for Garmin Express on Windows Vista.
When I was poking around on the Garmin site today, I stumbled onto the Garmin Express download page and saw this message
Garmin Express is not compatible with your operating system.

POI Editor Question (some of my GPX records do not load)
I built a POI file for an upcoming trip from California to Florida, and loaded it to my GPS (Nuvi 2460lmt). In verifying that all the points where there in the file, I discovered that only about half of the POI file actually got loaded to the GPS. No rhyme of reason to which ones got loaded.
