A tale of two chargers
I was sorting through a rat’s nest of assorted car chargers and syncing cables for my various models of Nuvi's and I managed to sort most of them out and match them to their correct units except for two. They are for my earliest model a Nuvi 260 and its bigger brother a 260W. I have two chargers with two different part numbers and I am not sure which one goes with which unit.

Garmin/ AT&T Discontinue two way cellular NuLink service
I have a Garmin Nuvi 1690, it has the cellular data link with Google Local, etc. I also get traffic through that NuLink service.
I just got an email from Garmin that they are discontinuing the data service as of March 4th, 2015. A year from next month.
So no traffic for that unit anymore.
It never really worked all that well. Kind of glitchy.

Will Nuvi Work in Iceland?
Theoretically if one was available from Garmin, if I got a Street Maps of Iceland on an SD card, would it work in a 2495? 1490T? How exactly would one go about enabling the unit to function with the Icelandic map?

Garmin Map Updater - Install Error
I'm using Garmin Map Updater v 3.1.20 which is the latest version I can find to update my nuvi 855.
Before it does anything, I get the following error:
"An unexpected error has occurred and the program must close. If you continue to experience this, please contact Garmin customer support."

1490
When you get the POI things on the Garmin 1490 is there a way to make the notification sound different? And possibly the type on the screen larger?

2597 routes
I did a couple of routes with the 2597 and found out it's different then my old 855. I looked in the manual and unless I'm overlooking it I can't find what I ran into.

2014.40 Map details
Up till now I have not seen Alleys.
I normally park in garage on the alley, behind the house. It is not labeled, but it's there....
I noticed the alley is now on map.... I never noticed it before. Prior to this map it would look like I turned off road.

Backup Camera
Does the BC 20 work with the Garmin 3597LTMHD? If so, how do I set it up? And if it is not currently supported, does anyone know if or when it will be?

Map Updater 3.3.3 hang - will make device unusable?
After the express program said it did not recognise my device C330 I tried the Map updater V3.3.3, for 4 hours it has been "preparing maps".
But if I try to close the Updater, it tells me the device may become "unusable"
Is there a way to stop the program with out making the device unusable?

Loading maps into mapsource or basecamp
I have Topo 2008 maps but the last time I loaded it I ran a copy of mapsource and it loaded with the install. Somehow tha version of mapsource became disconnected with the Topo maps. I know there is a registry hack that will add them to the product list but I forgot what it is. I've done it before. Does anyone have any ideas?

Blue color for routing?
I noticed today the recommended route was denoted by a light blue shading (instead of the normal pink) for the bulk of the trip. It appeared as if the light blue might have been overlaid on top of the pink and, at times, almost seemed as if it was side-by-side.
saved places on map
Is there a way for my nuvi2595 to display ONLY my saved places on map?
If I select show places along road, I see tons of banks and places to eat and alot of other things clogging up the map that I am not interested in.
I would like to see ONLY my favorites.
The nuvi 265 displays saved places as small squares which is great! I have the 265 in a work vehicle.
