Garmin talk

The latest map update is now available to download.

Pretty sure I know the answer to this but I'd like to hear what others have to say.

Fairly sure the internal battery on my Nuvi is faulty...can't get it to turn on even after overnight charger using wall charger, doing soft resets, etc.

Thought plugging into car outlet might bring it around...nothing.

I just rcvd my 3597 refurb but I can hardly hear it indoors. My old 1490 is VERY loud in comparison. Is this normal? Is there anything that can be done?

Looking at POI Factory Red Light Database is 9.00 per month or 20 per year. Garmin is now offering cyclops red light and speed camera for sale at 25 for a year. Any idea on how they differ?

I want to purchase one of them for my Drivesmart 60lmt, but unsure which one to purchase.

Thanks for any help

I presently own a Garmin 60CSX. I'm looking to upgrade to a 64S or 64ST.
Will I be able to transfer data to the 64S with my old MapSource software or will I need to use BaseCamp?
I have an old Topo Canada map that I've been using for my ATV and snowmobiles rides. Will I be able to transfer the old topo map to the 64S?
Thanks

I was thinking of a recent trip and toll roads. My preference is to not take toll roads, but do as needed.

How do you really really empty memory space on a nuvi 2589, all these back to factory resets are bull, if you have 97% memory after the reset you still have 97%, I would like to start from new is that possible??

Hello My 1st post here.
Trying to get voice alerts to work. I am using a mac.
Uploaded a wav file to a floder on mac, then used garmin POI loader Mac version to upload to sd card in nevi no luck
Any ideas??

Thanks

I'm in process of updating my old Nuvi 1490LMT since my newer 2599LMTHD "bricked". I have downloaded & extracted large Javier file to my PC.

I have installed SD card to 1490LMT with Garmin folder and sub folder JCV. Question...do I still need to run Garmin Express or do I just copy extracted, large jcv file to installed SD card ?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

Can't get my Nuvi to power up. Tried to soft reset to get it to power up....nothing.

Any ideas ??

It is now available with new device software 5.60

Hello,

Firstly I would like to say hello to everyone, I'm new on this forum, but have been using your valuable inputs for years.

I have a question regarding maps, if anyone had this experience.

Would BMW Navigator 5 "eat" the NT Europe map and navigate properly?

Just downloaded Garmin Express 6.0.0

Changes made from version 5.50 to 5.60:
Added menu options to the dog list to clear the dog tracks and hide active dog tracks for DriveTrack 70 devices.
Added the dog list to the map tools for DriveTrack 70 devices.
Improved the Topo Map tool on DriveTrack 70 devices by adding a list of maps instead of switching between street and topo maps.

I have a Garmin Drive 60 on a Windows 7 pro computer. It connects to the computer as a portable device (shows up in Device Manager)and not as a drive. Therefore Garmin Express, POI Loader, etc, will not recognize it. It does this on both my Windows 7 computers. This happened since the last map update. Before that it connected to both computers as a drive.

Would anyone know the battery part number for a Garmin 3597 GPS.

Anyone going to CES 2018 this week? I will be flying out midweek so hopefully I'll get a chance to see the new stuff. If I see anything worth noting, I will post it here.

I know that this has been discussed in the past, but now that I have both a Garmin Nuvi 3597 and a Garmin DriveLuxe 51, it is rekindling my interest.

I have been away for awhile and have not seen anything about the next Garmin map update. Is it close? I cant even find anything about map updates anymore on the Garmin site.

Having a problem with my Nuvi 660.

The battery discharges in a short period of time even when the unit is off. Charges in a normal fashion. It's not the battery. Installed new battery, same issue. Reinstalled old battery, same time to discharge as with new battery. It's like the unit is not actually shutting down, but it is. Restart has normal boot pattern and time.

Any ideas?

Thanks
