Garmin talk

Does anyone have a list of production cars that use Garmin software for their factory installed GPS units?

After doing a hard reset I tried to use Garmin Xpress. It gives me an error and must close. Now what? My internal card is just about full, how do I start from scratch?

Map install says "No unlocked maps were found for this device."

When I say messed u...I screwed up my back up and it wants to skip files. So how do I do day one?

Yesterday all was good. Today the NUVI just started shutting off. Turn it back on and goes through the Logo, load maps, and if I hit the acceptance button shutsw off. If I leave it the route continues for a while then shuts off again. Time for a hard reset?
Any ideas what's happening?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2699 LMTHD. When I updated the maps in early January 2016 it sometimes now will show the opposite direction and tell me to turn opposite of the way I should go and turn.This usually happens when I first put in the search and it calculates. Has anyone else had this problem. Didn't seem to do it before the update. Any ideas?

when my Zumo 590 has an "up ahead" feature?
Apologies if that sounded rude, it wasn't meant to. It's just the short cut of the question and I'm new to POI.

Our new 2598 seems to randomly pick a recent destination and display driving time in the top banner. A neat feature, but annoying if you're not going there and want to see upcoming streets. Anyway to disable it? I can't find one.

I recently purchased a Garmin 2797 LMT and really like the new features, a real upgrade from my NUVI 54. I am disappointed though with the traffic feature. Its not intuitive, its very slow, inaccurate, and on a trip through Orlando on I-4 it only notified of traffic after I was at a dead stop!

I updated new maps on my devices. I have noticed that after the map update on my Nuvicam, it calculates routes differently now. For example, while going to work in the morning, on highway 401 Eastbound, it used to ask me to take Dufferen Street exit but I always take next exit Allen Road. Now after the map updates, it started asking me to take Allen Road exit now.

Yesterday I was in Costco store in Woodbridge Ontario. I saw NuviCam listed for $469.99. This price is better than what I paid last year in July.

I have been thinking about resurrecting one of my Garminfones for use as a GPS in one of my vehicles. Does anybody happen to know if the maps can still be updated or did Garmin discontinue ALL support of the Garminfones some time ago?

So the links don't get lost in the JCV discussion thread, I created a separate post.

Links removed. Files no longer available.

Use WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com) or 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org) to extract.

Garmin Express 4.1.16.0 is out

I recently got a Nuvicam which I really like except the dashboard is limited to a few setting - MPH and Time to Arrival (with only 2 data points). I really liked my old Nuvi 3590 which had 4 data point - speed, time to arrival, time at arrival and distance to arrival. Does anyone know if you can do that with the NuviCam? Haven't found it anywhere in the settings.

Thanks

I have a Nuvi 1450 for which Garmin no longer offers the large JCV file. Thankfully, one finally shows up somewhere sometime and we users of the older hardware can still get it.

Let's use this thread for people to post where to find the new, large JCV file and instructions on how to download and install it.

2017.10 is available. Garmin, you are supposed to give use months' lead time to whine, speculate, and postulate on the release date of the new update. Instead, you have just quietly posted the update and snuck back into the background.

Thank you!

My Garmin Express has a map update for 2017.10. What is Garmin doing?

Anybody having problems with traffic?

I'm not sure when it happened, but now, when my SmartPhone Link pairs with my 3597 and I get a call on my SmartPhone, the garmin automatically answers it. Then, even with a headset in the phone, when I make a call using the SmartPhone, it is again transfered to the Garmin.

I've tried and tried and tried to stop this behaviour.

I have both a 3597 and a 2797.
Have gone through settings and owner's manuals and couldn't find them.
Do either have Garmin lock?
How can I activate them if they do?
Thanks in advance.

Trying to upload the HD dealer POI to my zumo 550. Downloaded from POI Factory to my .GPX on memory card but when I try to import it after disconnecting gps from pc it wont let me do it. Says I need to deselect some 374 dealer files. Is there a way to make the zumo 550 internal memory for favorites go to the SD card .gpx storage?
