Garmin talk

Maybe a mod can temporarily pin this until the update comes out, since people are still coming on here wondering about it well after we already discovered the date for the release. Just a suggestion.

I've just upgraded from a Nuvi 755 to a Nuvi 3597 and I'm having some odd issues with the favorites.

I transferred my favorites from the 755 to the 3597 with Express and it worked, but...

There are two GPX folders on the 3597.

: GPX
: Garmin\GPX

Also, the POI

I was thinking about how the search function works on my Garmin Nuvi 3597. I enter data and it checks for information stores on the device. Or, if I use the Garmin Smartphone Link, I can send it to the Nuvi 3597. Have we actually lost grounds on this? For example, the connected Garmin Nuvis 1690 and 1695 allowed a search directly on the unit.

my 760 denzel does not remember or learn my past routes. is there a setting i missing?

I am still getting a feel for the Garmin Traffic function. If a road will be closed for say a week, or more, does that information make it to Garmin for routing purposes?

I am having problems with Garmin Express including the latest version to check updates for my devices. I had same issues last week in Edmonton on my cousin's PC. So it is not my laptop.

Whenever I try to check updates for my devices, most of the time I am getting red color bar at the top with the message, " X Sorry, we're having problems communicating with our servers".

I'm trying to update my Nuvi 650. My procedure has been to use a flash drive containing only a Garmin directory with GarminDevice.xml in it. I pull this file from the Nuvi so it is from the last update. I've done this several times, with the last time about a year ago. Updater will find the drive and d/l the needed files for NA, at least it always has.

Anyone else with a 765T past or current have issues with the unit staying powered on? Mine will power up, get through the load screen just fine then gets to the main "where to" screen then passes out, goes dark. It powers itself off and won't stay on for more than 15 seconds. I have tried to contact Garmin about it but they aren't much help.

PC Version.

Garmin began rolling out Garmin Express v4.1.4.0 for the PC today. If you would like to upgrade to the latest version, Check for Updates to Express on the Settings page within the Express application. This version includes the following changes:

Anyone else have an issue with the Voice Command firing up for no good reason? Sometimes, not often, the Voice Command just comes on...happens with the music on and off...my start command is the default "Voice Command" any ideas?

For many different series for those interested.

my 1490LMT got stolen.

What's a good, inexpensive Garmin gps now days?

Note:
I have an Ecoroute device so it has to be compatible with that.

thx

version 4.1.3.0 is out

When I plug my Garmin 855 into my laptop it automatically starts the Garmin Express program. In this program there is a Device storage tab that tells me my device memory is 95% full. Is there a way to delete unused files from the internal storage? How can I tell which files to delete? Do I need to delete files from the internal memory if I use a memory card?

I finally got over my fear of using Garmin Express and I installed ver. 4.0.23.0 last night and downloaded 2015.4 to my NUVI2555LMT without a hitch.

In the past, when I used Map Updater, I had the option of loading the maps to my computer, my device or both. I always used Both. That allowed me to have the map available for use with Basecamp.

Does anyone know if the Clearwater traffic subscription is still operational?

How can you tell if your GPS is being charged when hooked up to a computer? It shows the picture of a GPS hooked up to a computer. I know if I am using it that will take a long time to charge but I'm not using the unit while plugged in. Has been plugged in for a couple of hours and when I disconnect, it's still at 2 bars.

Just got this huge GPS and all seems well (except for Herculean effort required to insert ball in socket and user manual that fails to show where the microSD card goes).

HOWEVER ... My trust POI collection seems to have transferred over fine. My icons for speed and red-light cameras are there. But the proximity alert is the Garmin bong, not my carefully curated wisecracks.

Member CraigW wrote the following FAQ http://www.poi-factory.com/node/44415 warning us all that when using the Map Updater program it may either delete or rename incorrectly the DEM map file in the process.

Being a Map Updater fan & for having used it many times in the past, I will be calling Garmin support and advising them of this bug and do hope it'll be fixed for the 2016.10 release.

With my other Garmins, if I wanted to located all POIs near a location, I would enter a destination, then do a search near destination, BUT leave it blank when I did the search. That would find a number of POIs near my destination. I found that to be quite handy. On my Nuvi 3597, however, I have been unable to find a way to do that.
