Anyone have one of the Garmin backup cameras?
Since I bought a new Garmin 2599LMT-HD recently, I'm considering the BC30 wireless backup camera as an addition. My wife's car has a backup camera as part of her factory GPS system, and I really miss it when I'm driving my car......so - just wondering if anyone had any experiences with the Garmin backup cameras.

Garmin 3790 acting really stupid!
I'm on my way home from Mexico now. Just outside Indianapolis, Indiana I directed the 3790 to take me home by hitting the "Home" button. Simple right? I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So the simplest route would be via Detroit and then home. At that point about 600 some miles.

Pro tip: How to get multiple route options to go Home
For most route planning my Garmin 3597 offers options for fast, most direct, and least fuel. However, when going home it only offers fastest. Here's how to get the other options:
Save a location at or near your home. Then, when going home DO NOT select the Home button as a destination. Select Saved and your new nearby home location. Take your pick and be on your way!

Garmin StreetPilot Onboard
I know that there has been some discussion in the past about Garmin StreetPilot Onboard, but I want to re-kindle this since I am considering an Apple iPhone and I would buy this app if I bought the iPhone. How well does this work? I currently have Viago on Android. I am reluctant to buy it if it will be going the way of Viago soon, though.

"Lost" custom avoidance.
A few months ago we took a trip to a location in the countryside, let the GPS (3579) calculate the route. This involved many secondary roads and was a very pretty drive. However along the way we came up to a “Road Closed” sign (bridge out) so took the DOT detour to get to our destination. Before heading home I set up a Custom Avoidance for what I thought was the closed section of road.

Huge HERE Update
So, the Map Creator at HERE isn't even available. It says that they are integrating a huge number of new roads to the maps across the world, including 6.5 million km of new roads in the USA! This is a great sign.











2595 vs 2460
I just replaced my 2460 with a 2595. There are some differences that I wanted to throw out there.
First, there is no security option: requiring a pass code at power on. I guess these things are becoming so inexpensive that Garmin didn't feel the need.
