Garmin talk

Are there any 3rd party apps that can be downloaded then unpacked onto the GPS? The 3597 has some built-in within an "apps" menu, but there is no app store, so I am trying to find interesting and useful apps.

I am also trying to find a way to connect the Automatic Link to my GPS so it shows the driving data on the screen like EcoRoute would, but with the devices I already have.

Did anyone else notice that shopping centers are now outlined with "railroad markings" where the buildings are and the POIs are centered in the outlines?

Watch out when removing Garmin Express with Revo Uninstaller Pro. I did that and scanned for leftovers and did a delete. It deleted everything Garmin. Apparently Garmin Express invades everything Garmin. MapSource, BaseCamp, Webupdater, ETC. I never had this problem with any program before. I had to do a recovery and then uninstall Garmin Express. I had to leave the other garbage it left behind.

Updated nuvi 2595 maps to 2014.40 using GE successfully but lost my voice files and my voice command. Using GE, I updated my voice files to get it to work but freezes on me. I have to stop/close/interrupt the update (with a warning) and so I can try to update again. Big mistake! Now my nuvi will not start, it will only get to loading maps and freezes. Tried to reset but to no avail.

I've looked through the FAQs, but didn't see (or missed) this question. So, if it's there, please direct me to it.

I have 1 GPS and 2 PCs (Win7 & WinXP) both with BaseCamp installed. I use Map Updater to update the maps (I have read the other posts and already have V3.3.3 on both PCs).

Can any one tell me why my new, (refurbished), 2597 does not zoom in and out at 58 and 45 mph? All three of my previous units did. I've done a reset and it still doesn't zoom automatically.

I have the 2014.20 Garmin map on SD card,before I update to the New 2014.40 I would like to know what does Garmin change on the New Version, I know Garmin is a company they the care about making money,and don"t you wish they would tell you what did they change from the older version to the new one?

I'm a recent convert to the Garmin line after years of using TomToms. I recently took my new 2595 on a trip and was surprised at the lack of visibility around upcoming towns/cities. I would expect these to be noted on the route ahead but more often than not I didn't find any evidence of the town or city I was in when viewing my nuvi 2595.

I thought I'd start a new thread for those that are still having issues with both MapUpdater and Garmin Express not working poperly for the 2014.40 map download. I prefer using MapUpdater and WebUpdater.

After numerous attempts in failed downloads of 2014.40 using MapUpdater V3.2.2 I downloaded the just released V3.3.3 and am happy to report the ability to download 2014.40 is now working.

Hello friends, I was wondering if Nuvi 3597 handles mp3 alert files? or I have to use wav files? I will appreciate your help.

Anyone know when Garmin will announce the "full" 2014 automotive line, other than the Garmin Essentials line of products?

Thanks.

anyone got a thought why my nuvi won't turn off when shuting of the car ignition switch. just started all of a sudden. screen gets a little dim but that it. also not getting wav files to install with POIs. thinking could be me on the wav and POIs but got me stumped on not shutting down when disconnecting the power.

Hi,
Im new to the site and could do with some help. Im trying to put the 2014 Full coverage European maps onto my PC to use with Basecamp, but when I get to the end of the process where I choose where to put the file, Express is showing G:\Garmin in light lettering in the selection box,and the browse button doesn't operate.

I downloaded and installed Garmin Express yesterday to be able to update to City Navigator 2014.40.

Just now I checked for an update and saw that yesterday's version (2.3.18.0) had an update available to 2.4.5.0.

The one difference I see in the Settings Options of this latest version is a new check box allowing for auto updates of Garmin Express.

Good Afternoon I hope I am not asking a question that has been asked before in another forum. I am new to POI Factory. I would like to know if there is any type of APP or software that I can put on my Garmin to locate or track a GPS if it is stolen. Please let me know.

Hi
I have a Garmin nuvi2797LTM (great navigator.)
I want to edit the map themes to make them more readable.
I want to change route colours some background colours etc.

I have a Garmin dezl560 LMT. It's been updated (with the latest 2013, not 2014 yet) and uses the TruckDown data as well as Garmins Trucking POI category.

2014.40 large JCV full screen file is now available for download for those who need/want it:

Well, I went and bought a brand new Garmin 3597LMTHD and have had it for over a week now.

Bought it from Newegg for 299 USD w/no S&H charges. It did not come directly from Newegg. Probably could have found a better price, but I have dealt many times with Newegg before and have never had any problems.
