BaseCamp Unlock Map
I just downloaded 2015.10 map to my laptop. BaseCamp says that the map is locked. Went online to unlock, but all if offered was to my GPS. How do I unlock the map so I don't have to have my laptop plugged in.
I read the posts here, but .... I could have missed it though

Heads up display
I do not recall seeing anything about HUD with Garmin on this forum. Has anyone had experience with it? Is it just a gimmick? I would like to have my Garmin 1450 displayed as I think it has more detail than what Garmin HUD has. Any other manufacturers have a workaround for this using your own GPS?

GTM Traffic Receiver
Which GTM Traffic Receiver works (or works better) in Europe?
I have a GTM-35 (came with nuvi 3790) and a GTM-60 (came with nuvi 3597). Both have lifetime NA traffic subscription.
There are a few trial traffic subscriptions available for some countries in Europe.
I can also purchase traffic subscriptions for various parts of Europe.

POI factory POI's
This coming fall I will be doing a 6,000 mile plus trip and have been busy downloading any POI's I think may come in handy. A total of 55 different ones. All were installed with the current POI loader directly to a 2GB SD card.

do all csv files have to have coordinates?
So for my work we are constantly running addresses all day and the website we use has a "handy" feature that allows you to export all the addresses to a CSV file. What is useless about this file is that for one: the formatting of the data is wrong. if you open the CSV file with a CSV editor the first column doesn't contain coordinates, but instead it contains some other data.

New FAQ - Mapquest to a Garmin
This post is exactly what Garmin sent me and since I am having trouble they decided to blame MQ for my issues. This process doesn't seem to work with the 2460 and there is plenty of supporting evidence of that on other GPS blogs. I wish it would work ....

not charging855
I have no idea what happened, but my 855 will not charge using the 12volt cords anymore.
I have two cords, one has the traffic receiver in it with two lights showing that it is receiving 12 volt power and the other showing traffic receiver activity.
BOTH lights are on, the traffic light is flickering.
My second cord is just a plain 12 volt power supply.

Saved Favorites I deleted will not stay deleted
I have a Garman 3590 LMT. When I delete a favorite, or favorites they wont stay deleted. Whenever I reboot, the files are all back again. I deleted them in edit mode, where I put a check mark beside the ones I wanted gone, but they came back. So, I tried deleting them one at a time by selecting one individually. Like I said, they are gone until I do a reboot.

Gander Mtn. help, please
I just uploaded the latest and greatest Gander Mtn. POI file. I added a store in Mount Juliet, TN, and now I need to refine the long/lat of the entrance(s) to the parking area. I usually use Google Earth to fine tune the coordinates, but GE has the Gander Mtn. store in the middle of an empty field. I just took a wild guess where the parking lot drive(s) would be. Thanks.

Map on SD?
Last night when I updated my map, the unit told me that it didn't have enough memory, only enough for US, not the NA. If I wanted to install the whole NA map, I had to use the SD card (bigger than 2.2 GB). Therefore, I used the 4gb.
1. I thought when updated new map, the new map would replaced the old map. Why not enough memory happened here?
