Garmin talk

I was just updating some POI files when Garmin Express showed me that Time Zone Map Update 16.01 was available. I had updated to 16.00 yesterday (Sunday) and had to change my GPS to Mass Storage Mode to be able to use POI Updater. After installing 16.01 everything works great again. I changed back to MTP Auto Detect and now the GPS correctly communicates with POI Updater.

Update 5/23/2015: Everything sold and has already been paid for using eBay. It sold for $187.50 + shipping in just 5 days so eBay comes thought again.

Original post:

I have been using Garmin units for years and have been generally very pleased with their features and reliability.

I'll be going to Europe for all of July. I'd love to take my 3790 with a Europe map on an SD card.
Can the 3790 be charged via the mini USB port from an electric outlet using a mains to USB adapter?

I downloaded the poi loader from Garmin, and got the red light camera files from here. Upon connecting my gps to the computer, the poi loader program would not detect my gps unit when I told it to save the poi file to my gps. I then told it to save the file to my computer and it worked.

After running Garmin express software updates, POI Loader will not recognize my Garmin 2595

I ran across this over in the Garmin software forum today ..

Curious if other users are also having BT Problems between iPhone 5s and Nuvi 2797. My iPhone is running 8.1.3. 2797 used to connect easily but now rarely connects inspite of my resetting both devices. Can't figure what's wrong or,what I am doing wrong.

What a shock—I received an email from Garmin today: $10 off a GPS for recent graduates.

I did see an interesting note in the email, something I didn't know. It was (with my added bolding):

I realize the Nuvi 2689LMT can be parried with the BC30 wireless camera. My question is this, since I already have a built in backup camera (very small screen) in my mini van, can I tap into this video feed instead of purchasing the BC30? I believe the BC30 transmits video feed wirelessly, is their a hardwire work around?

On my new 3597, I added the poi rest stops and saw double entries under CATEGORIES . Removed the poi but still have the double entries.

Has anyone looked into the Garmin Nuvicam LMTH? It is to be available in May 2015.

Well, someone had to start it!

Based on prior years history shown here: http://forums.gpsreview.net/discussion/17527/redirect//p1 the new map update release should be imminent but, then again, the last update was about six weeks later than usual.

If I download a GPX file of geocaching locations, can I upload them to my Garmin Astro 220 and have them recognized?

When I have access to my computer I religiously update to the newest available Garmin maps. Having been away since the middle of October in Mexico and not able to update to 2015.30. I just did the 2015.40.

I know that there are people out there who think it's a waste of time.

I just came back home from holidays (1625 mile trip) and noticed on just one occasion the junction view showing what exit to take appeared on my screen and wouldn't go away even though I had passed the view's location.

After numerous problems with the 3790 on my 3,000 mile drive home I decided to do a factory reset to see if that would eliminate these problems. The map would all of a sudden disappear to the voice command screen. The command had been changed a long time ago to "Wake up dummy" to lessen any radio interference. The map would for some reason zoom out so far it was useless.

How can I remove only one custom POI from my Garmin and retain all other custom POI's

hello i am trying to update my garmin 3490 and since i bought it a year ago with a free lifetime update supposly , so i bought it and downloaded garmin express and took me ages to download a fraction . ( nerve cracking ) more than 15 hours so last year i took it to the shop who i bought it from and did it for 16$ . nevermind now i am travelling to uk in june and still cant update .

Garmin began rolling out Garmin Express v4.0.20.0 for the PC today. If you would like to upgrade to the latest version, Check for Updates to Express on the Settings page within the Express application. This version includes the following changes:

• Improved application startup process.

So, I do not like the new "style" of the current models of the Kenwood/Garmin units and have continued to use my 8120 since new. Recently, I went to update my custom POIs (about 80k of them) and when I do, the Garmin is showing "double" entries for each category. For example, if I have a dozen POI categories, it shows all of them and then repeats it again.
