Navi 2599 Custom POIs & Favourites editing

Hi all, my apologies for what is probably an FAQ, but I couldn't find an exact answer by searching.

Routing with Map Update 2019.10

Is anyone having trouble routing from point a to point b using the 2019.10 maps within basecamp? I set up the route and tried to change the roads that it took by hitting Alt and mouse button to move the route to a different road and the route changes all over the place. Try it and see what you get. Might need to reinstall the maps again.

2019.10 Map Not Available to Me

Saw the thread about map update 2019.10 available (as of three weeks ago). Just now plugged in my 2689 and ran Garmin Express. It says I am up to date (with 2018.30). Any ideas on what is going on?

Nuvi 2797 Apps screen

Can apps on the apps screen be deleted and/or repositioned on the screen? If so, how?

Ping anyone with a 2595

BaseCamp and MapSource will suck waypoints from my 2595, but neither will suck routes (trips) from it. However, both will suck routes from my 2797. Is this a design feature of the 2595?

Mapinstall

Just had a pleasant revelation. I completely uninstalled BaseCamp from my Mac in order to cleanup some files I had imported and couldn't get rid of. To my surprise, when I downloaded and installed BasCamp, MapInstaller, and MapManager were both installed.

I don't know why Garmin would do that.

POI for truck stops that are RV friendly (Gas)

I usually try to get to Flying J's that are RV friendly (Separate GAS Island for RV'ers), but occasionally I run into Flying J's without the RV island.

Has a POI been created for Flying J's/Pilot's that is RV friendly for GAS?

Another reason for use of the Flying J is for the Extra .05 off I get on the gallon. (Adds up on a long trip)

Thanks in advance for the link!

Maybe not giving up on my nUvi 500...

Most of the newer units out there are under a C note. What do the masses recommend to replace my old boat anchor? My preferences are ease of use and long distance/no cell service routing. I use Waze way more than I do most other apps, but when traveling out west (on those rare coast to coast vacations), I have been in the blackout areas where the cell phone is useless.

Rv Gps

I've always wanted one but couldn't justify the price. I'm finding myself driving past quite a few Fuel station because of my Length.

Map Won't Unlock when Downloaded to Computer Via GE

I posted on this several years ago and apparently, at the time, I was the only one with this issue.

When I download the latest mapset using GE to both GPS and computer, the map works fine on the GPS. The problem is, the map won't unlock when trying to use it with Basecamp or Mapsource on the computer.

Brand new Nuvi 2539 Went Bad

I purchased a brand new Nuvi 2539 last September. I just sent it back for warranty repair. I got the replacement last week. The replacement unit seems ok. The micro usb plug became very contrary. It would not receive traffic signals and would charge intermittently leaving me a stone dead battery. Has anyone else had problems with their micro usb ports?

Transferring maps between Nuvi LMT units

Is there any way to transfer maps between nuvi units (2539/2559) that have Lifetime maps? One garmin rep told me that each map has a license specific to a particular unit's serial number; thus maps were not transferrable and needed to be downloaded for each unit. Another Garmin rep told me that there was a way to copy maps from one unit to another but did not explain how to do it.

Nuvi 2539 and 2559 -- Will the battery drain quicker in hibernation mode

Does anyone know the difference between hibernation and power off? I know that hibernation starts up the unit much quicker. Will the battery drain quicker if I do not use the unit for a few weeks and leave the unit to hibernate? Thanks for the answers.

Finding A Location Near Destination: Garmin Nuvi 3597 Vs. DriveLuxe 51

Now that I have been using my DriveLuxe 51 for a while now, I am starting to notice some other little differences between the 3597 and DriveLuxe 51.

When I am en route to a location with the Nuvi 3597 and look for another location near my destination, the 3597 shows how close the new location is to the destination.

Delete Faves from GE?

GE keeps repopulating my GPS' after removing old, and outdated faves.

How do you delete this file?

State and County Lines

There seems to be some interest in county lines. I think this site has been pointed out in the past but I did a search and didn't find it. If you want the lines to appear with the Garmin maps, this site has the transparent maps. It also has transparent topo maps.

Speed Alert and Redlight - Eastern Europe

Hello guys!
First of all, I'd like to say sorry if I am posting in the wrong place. I am new at POI Factory!
I am going to Hungary next week, but for sure, I'm gonna go around that region as well. Could someone say to me if there is a Speed Alert and Redlight (.gpi file) that covers Hungary to download?

Thanks in advance,

Enioli.

Delete unnecessary apps / reorder apps on Zumo 595LM

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched and could not find anything ...

I recently upgraded to a Zumo 595LM for my motorcycle.
It has a number of applications on it that I will never use.
Is it possible to delete those applications?

Also/separately, is there a way to reorder them in the

GE load map to computer & unit

When loading map with GE, how can I load the map to the computer and the Garmin GPS?

I was downloading 2019.10 last night and couldn't figure it. I used Map Updater instead and it's dead easy to do with MU. Just click on options and it's there.
