Garmin talk

Trying to set a route on my Garmin to mypass Dallas. On my Iphone's Maps app it takes me on interstate 635 that bypasses the main part of Dallas. But when I try to route my Garmin it does not find or know about the interstate 635. As far as my Garmin is concerned -- it does not exist.

Hi All.

I have 3790 and have a strange problem.

Whenever I turn on the 3790, I get a message that the Traffic receiver needs a software update.

This has been going on for a couple of weeks.

I tried using GarminUpdater several times, but it does not indicate any new traffic receiver updates at all.

Any ides or suggestions ?

I may be way off base in this forum but maybe someone can help. I have a Kenwood 890HD car receiver
that includes Garmin GPS. Does anyone know how to update maps on this unit? It sure is not as easy as adding maps to my Nuvi 750! I checked a Kenwood Forum but I think they are all asleep! No reply or they don't care.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I can't get my Nuvi 370 to sound an alarm when approaching a speed camera from Cyclops. The unit does display the speed camera icon however. The audio notification is turned on.

Anyone has had a similar problem in the past?

Thanks for your help.

I am kind of surprised that refurbs are available already for the Nuvicam LMTHD, but theGPSstore.com has them in stock for $329.95.

It seems this might be time to adjust some of my old ways of updating maps. Like alandb and possibly others, I have both a 755T and a 3597LMTHD--the latter a recent acquisition where I'm still discovering its many and sometimes subtle differences. I've been keeping the 755T regularly updated using GarminMapUpdater (aka GMU) via the clone method, so no issues there.

Someone had posted that they got the large JCV file. I wonder how?

To my 855 the 24,*** kb file was supplied.
For my 2797 I got the 494,*** kb file.

I keep trying to install the new map file and it gets to 73% installed then it starts the reinstall again starting from 50%. It does this every time. I uninstalled and reinstalled Garmin express and it didn't help. I tried using the stand alone map installer with windows 10 and it crashes every time I run it.

I went to use my BaseCamp and it was GONE...
I plugged in Nuvi and opened Garmin Map Updater thinking I could get it there.
Garmin Updater said the 2016.2 map was ready to download so I said ok so I could get BaseCamp.

After all updated I did have BaseCamp. It is 4.4.6, is this the newest one?

Garmin Express tells me that a Map Update is available for my 3597, CN 2016.20!!!

Hi Guys,

I have a Garmin Camper 760 and an Ecoroute HD.

I can't find the menu option on the Camper 760 to link it to the Ecoroute.

Am I being dumb, or are these two not compatible?

Looking forward to your advice.

Regards,

Paul

I have an 8GB SD card on my 3790LMT. I can't load and read the manual to my Nuvi onto this SD card, so what I would like to do is to write up some notes reminding me of how to access certain NUVI settings, take a screen capture of my notes, save that capture as a .jpg file and move it to the SD card and then be able to read those notes on the Nuvi unit itself.

Downloading V2016.10 to my 2699LMTHD keeps timing out on my Verizon MiFi. So I went to another WiFi connection and downloaded to my PC only using Garmin Express

This has been happening for some time. When I start EPE editor and select a GPX file to, for an example, set an alert distance and I click on "Options" to take me to "Preferences", EPE locks up.

It just sits there forever, no matter what I click on EPE, even trying to close it all I get is a "Ding" sound. The menu bar has turned to gray and none of the choices work.

I decided to put this up on the Garmin postings, though I had added it on to a current thread already not particularily about shaping points.
==============================

Allright now, I monkeyed around with my 2797 for about 2-3 hours to see what these shaping points are all about.

Hi guys first post,be gentle please. I have an sd card with north america which works fine on my nuvi40,but my nuvi670 will not recognize the same map. Has anyone ever come across this. I cannot try it out until i reach canada. I can use the simulator on the nuvi40 for checking out trips,but i would like to use the nuvi670 in canada.

Sorry committed this to memory... Should have written it down...

After the V7.8 firmware update on my 2689LMT Nuvi, after all the reboots I see a message not seen before when I view map:

Library: No Traffic 24 (Word I forgot after 24)....

OK what's that last word, and what does it mean, Alphy?

Hello friends, Today I got stuck with coordinates. I could not figure out how to enter coordinates in my nuvi3597 from a web site.

Since I am adding and deleting customs POI's and POI folders regularly, I am wondering if I could store these points on SD cards and insert the appropiate corresponding card into my nuvi 2595.

Do I use a folder on the SD Cards named "Garmin"?
Do I need to use POI Loader to load the POI points onto the SD Card or can I just copy the files(*.gpx or .csv) into the Garmin folder?

Thanks

New 2597LMT. Vast improvement over my previous 50LM, but I have a couple questions:
