Garmin talk

It appears that my new nuvi requires Garmin Express to register. I'm a bit scared to install GE because of all of the negative posts about it. Will I still be able to use Web Updater, POI Loader, and MapSource if I install GE?

Plugged in my 1450 for GE and a window popped up stating
'Do you want to scan and fix removable disc (M)?. There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc.'

Is there a way to change the Category name without recreate it?

On a road trip to Pennsylvania, Garmin Express came on- NOT ON MY COMPUTER but on my nuvi 40. The GPS wouldn't work right because of Garmin Express. I deleted Garmin Express on the computer, but I doubt that does naything. What should I do?

Had a 2595 I believe it was LMT that I passed to my brother. His daughter has been using it and recently I was told it doesn't turn off when she turns off the car. It used to but now it seems it just stays on until the battery drains down.

I just purchased a Garmin Nuvi 2798 to upgrade my ancient Nuvi 660. I used the trip planner to plan a trip to NC for the holidays. I want to use the same route back home. I didn't see anyway to reverse the trip.

The only thing I see that may work is to optimize the waypoints to reverse the order. If anyone know of the correct way to do this I thank you in advance for that info.

I just downloaded Vito's "Rest Areas combined" POI file and noticed two differences between the "old" and "new" copies. I'm not saying the differences are good or bad, they're just different. And by the way, Vito, thanks for taking over a tough POI from Ken. I can't even imagine all the work it must take.

While I wait for a communication to arrive, want to ask if this can be done....

A POI that I use, reports a location to be blocks from where it really is, and since the POI location is set back from the street it's really easy to miss it. I'd like to fix this... at least temporarily, until I can report this to the POI Writer.

Not much in this version of interest to nuvi owners.

• Added support for vívosmart® HR and Garmin Index™ Smart Scale.

GPSCity, refurbished Dezl 760, $299.95

Several Gurus around here recommend doing a hard reset after having done a map and or firmware update & personally I follow this suggestion.

I have a little over a dozen routes stored in my trip planner and noticed after the 2016.10 update followed by the hard reset that the unit would route me several different ways than what was previously programmed.

My Garmin RV 760 has a screen capture function. Is anybody using this function and if you are for what purpose?

I have a problem with my Nuvi 755T. I purchased the China map set from Garmin and loaded it. Problem is that it takes too much memory and the next CitySelect update would no longer fit in the memory so I had to add an SD card. Now the City select updates are so big that the memory card only takes the Southern US and Mexico.

This is re-posted from "Keeping the Windmill Alive" since cruisers headed to Ft. Lauderdale (Garmin's "Port Everglades-Northport" POI) may run into it.

what is the map id # for the 2016.20?

I have a dodge ram 3500 (2014) and i would like to install additional poi/s on the onboard gps. (navtaq) andbody to help how to install them on what file type????

thank you

I posted a somewhat similar thread about a year ago.....

All the present POI Icons are designed for older units with smaller screens.... and when these .BMP files are used on lager displays, the icon sizes are hard to see....

My current Garmin is a NUVI 40LM.

It has lifetime maps, but I would like an upgrade.

My new one should have the following features:
6 inch or BIGGER screen,
Ability to use my custom made routes,
Ability to add a backup camera system,

And that's about it as far as must have's...
Any additional features will be welcomed, but the3 above are show stoppers for me.

Thx in advance!
