2497LMT
My son is in the market for a GPS but doesn't want to break the bank on one. I haven't kept up with all of the latest models but the 2497LMT looks like it might do the job. I have an 855 and thought he would like the voice command. Any of you guys have one and how do you like it?

Nuvi 40LM does not recognize map on Garmin UK/Ireland SD
Hi all. I just purchased a new Garmin Nuvi 40LM and a new Garmin City Navigator SD card with a map of the UK and Ireland. I plugged the card into the Nuvi and tried to find available maps under Tools/Maps/Info, but it only showed the built in map (USA). When I plugged the unit into my Mac computer, it shows the Garmin and a device labeled 'No Name', which I assume is the SD card.

Does disabling Proximity Point Alerts also disable my Icons?!
Hi,
First time poster here!
I have a Garmin Nuvi 50LM.
My question relates to my custom POI icons...
I want to have all (or most) of the icons to show up on my Garmin whenever I drive close to my custom POI's.
However, I do not want the alert tone to 'beep' at all whenever I drive close to the POI's.

Nuvi 52 Screen Dim
Recently bought a 52 when my 1490 died during a business trip. Screen on 52 is noticeably dimmer than the 1490 even when turned up to 100%. Anyone else experiencing this?

POI Problem (warning for a 35 mph zone)
Had to drive from Mesa to Denver so I downloaded all the POI's I thought I would need. No problems until I stopped at a rest area just over the AZ/NM line in NM. Started the car and immediately got a warning for a 35 mph zone. Thought that was for the rest area but once on I-40 the warning stayed on until I couldn't stand it anymore and turned off all the POI's.

Windshield mount falling off
I have a Nuvi 1680, and the mount suction cup is falling off the windshield every 2 days or so.
Garmin sent me another one when I complained about this, I installed it and a couple months later it's doing the same as the old one.

What have I done wrong?
What have I done wrong?
In about 2009 I built a poi of all the school crossings here in Lawrence Kansas. When I got within a certain distance of one of these crossings a custom voice would say "school crossing ahead"....The POI is on this site. At that time I had a Nuvi 660, now I have a Nuvi 2597 and I can't remember how I got poi to use the "school crossing ahead" sound to work.

GPX POI File: How Do I Get My Garmin Nuvi To Display The File's Locations
I'm not a tech head by any means and I use a Mac. This may be a really simple and stupid question, but I'm trying to get my Garmin Nuvi to load and display the Beall's Department Store POI files that are in .gpx format.
I couldn't find an answer in the FAQ section. Do I have to convert the file somehow to .csv? Or is there something else I should be doing?

Polarized Sunglasses and Garmin
Color LCD screens use polarizing filters. They shine the background light through a polarizing filter, then through the 3 color sub-pixels (which upset the polarization), then they use another polarizing filter at a 90 degree angle to the first to block out light that didn't pass through one of the colored sub-pixels.
