Garmin talk

I am going to Europe and have made a number of TourGuide POI's. I loaded the resulting GPX file into my Zumo 665 using POILoader and I cannot get the POI's to show up. When I go to "Extras" on the Zumo and press on POI, I get the message "No matches found." When I load a GPX file with TourGuide points in the USA and Canada, no problem.

I bought a new fixed mount for my garmin nuvi 50lm and it wont work. I have power to all points.but it wont work with the unit. I can plug in my regular charger and no problem. Is there maybe something wwith the way the new mount is wired ?

I see that Garmin just released their update for the Garmin Smartphone Link v 1.8 on iTunes. I'm hoping that they fixed some of the annoying bugs like the glitch where it occasionally says no data connection after you leave your home and the phone switches over to cellular data.

I did something to my Costco locations on my 1450. Deleted. In BASECAMP, I have Under 'my collection' a folder named Costco, with a subfolder named Costco Locations. All Costco locations are in order. It seems that I can't send 'Costco Locations' to my device. They end up in favorites but all mumbled jumbled up.

I have one GPS and Basecamp installed on three computers: my desktop at home, a laptop for travel and a Windows tablet, again for travel. Every time I update the maps, I end up downloading them three times: one to update the GPS and one of the computers then twice more to update the other two computers.

The last year or two, my Nuvi 1350lmt display has been freezing. I noticed that it will be working fine until it becomes apparent that the distance to the next turn is not working. Pressing the on-off button once reboots and it continues on just fine.

City Navigator 2015.20 Europe is now available for download via Garmin Express for anyone that using these maps.

Updated map several days ago and everything went OK. Today plugged in 1450 to update my Costco locations via Basecamp and sent them to GPS. Previously deleted Costco locations off GPS. Unplugged GPS and they were not on unit. Tried again 2 more times then unplugged unit and it would not turn on automatically or manually. Did this 2 times.

I have gobs of POIs loaded into my 3590, including Starbucks locations for my wife (as a TourGuide with a 1000 ft range). At times, I need to see the full routing that is available by selecting the top bar on the display. When one is within range of a TourGuide POI, selecting the top bar brings up info on the POI.

Has anyone opened up their Garmin to clean out interior? I have had it in dusty conditions several times. It looks to have only the speaker that is open to the elements. Would like to lightly blow out as I do with my computers. Is that doable or should I not worry about it?

I typically download my tracks on a weekly basis to MapSource, then delete them from the 855. For the past 3-4 weeks, it tells me there are no tracks to download, even though when I set the device to "show" trip log, there are tracks there; similar result for routes, even though there are routes on the device.

How many of you have noticed the 2015 map updates don't allow you to print the map from either Basecamp or Mapsource?

Will it be out this week?

Suddenly my Garmin Nuvi 660 is having problems identifying nearby restaurants, gas stations, etc. For some reason it shows the nearest restaurant to be 90+ miles away, which is obviously incorrect.

I took off all custom POIs thinking that somehow they may have skewed something, a long shot but I thought I would eliminate a potential source of errors.

Can't get the 2.73 POI Loader setup file to run. Gives an MSI error:filenotfound during the install. Windows XP. Any ideas?

Yesterday morning I left home and the GPS showed the streets I was traveling on.

I parked the car for an hour leaving the GPS powered on. When I got back to my car the 2015.20 map was totally gone with no streets showing at all. The GPS was VERY warm from the sun.

The rest of the day no street map.

I had an old 2450LM and purchased this new 65LMT my favorite thing about the old 2450 was adding info on the screen when navigating i could put 4 custom boxes on the right EX TIME , DISTANCE, TIME TO VIA i cant do this one on the new 65lmt or am i missing a trick here....

I have an old Garmin nüvi 255 (circa 2009) that has been rather slow to start-up for a long time...unless it was last used within an hour or so of turning it back On. With a typical 'cold start' it took maybe 2-3 minutes to get to the point of it being ready to use. It spent most of its starting time with the green bar loading at the bottom of the screen.

I was told I could change the startup splash screen on my new Garmin 2797LMT and that all I had to do was place the jpg into the Pictures folder. My 2797LMT doesn't have a Pictures folder (I was also told to try the JPEG folder but again no-go). Can I just create the Pictures folder or is there more to it than that?

Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

We have 2 Garmin Nuvi 3597 units and one of them allows us to enter the following to navigate to a destination in this order as soon as we tap the Address icon:

House number
Street name
City

On the other unit a screen that asks us to select the City is shown.
