Smartphone Link -- Advanced Weather
A message banner popped up on my 3597 since yesterday, indicating there is a "Flash flood watch". The alert banner collapses to a orange-red thunder cloud icon in the upper right corer, in the same fashion as School-Zone alerts, and pops open again periodically. This is the first time that a weather alert shows up since I have the advanced weather, for quite a few months now.

Nuvi 660 finally died - what's a good new similar model to replace it?
My 660 was having battery issues, but worked when connected to power. Did a map update over the weekend, and now it won't get past the boot screen when connected to power. Makes a little quick buzz sound when it brings up the model and then nothing - locked up. Can't reset to factory settings, can't connect to computer, etc.

Traffic for Nuvi 780
I understand the MSN service that sent traffic and other info to my receiver via an FM signal has been discontinued since 2012 or so. Are there any other options or am I stuck with a (used to be really cool) unit that no longer gives me traffic?

Garmin Express again
We all know how this works....or doesn't.
It just updated to version 3.2.25.0.
Just went into my Temp directory to grab some poi files to add to my Unit and I see all these log files Express made.
One of them gets my immediate attention.

Which Florida is a better map?
Probably because there are some good free maps projects available for Argentina and Brazil and Garmin does not include full coverage there, they have added Florida as part of the South America map.
However, taking a look side by side of the Florida map at the South America map and the North America one, at least at basecamp and mapsource, the maps were different.

Trapster says goodbye...
I got this email today from Trapster...seems they will be ceasing service. I seldom used the service but just the same, I hate to see them go.
After evaluating our ongoing investments, we have decided to discontinue the Trapster service by the end of the year.

nuvi 2699LMTHD Discussion
I'm upgrading from a 750 and have questions about some of the changes and differences.
I expected to have spoken street names but apparently that has been replaced with "Real Directions". I'm not buying Garmins explanation - what am I missing?
I haven't found the ability to create, edit and save routes like the 750 ie Route x with waypoints a, b, c. Did Garmin drop this capability?

Nuvi 3580LMT Internal Memory
The internal memory for the Garmin Nuvi 3580 LMT was difficult to find in the various webpage advertisements. It was reported as 4Gb in one post but is actually 8Gb as determined on my PC.
It is a nicely designed unit.
Does anyone know where to find a list that shows Nuvi memory for the various models?

Anyone With A 885T
Back in May 2010 I performed the 2011.10 map upgrade. At that time the voice commands still worked for navigating the basic menus ( e.g. "Show Map", "Where To" , etc), but once I got to the screen for entering the City, voice command where no longer accepted. I made some posts in this thread http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29015.

Atlanta HOV Lanes
I'm planning a trip to Florida and the Atlanta HOV lanes, are a real plus.
There are 2 or 3 locations where the HOV Lanes leave the main part of I-75 and then reconnect a little farther along. I tried to create a POI file that would force my NUVI 2555 LMT to force the navigation onto these divergences.
I have 2015-3 loaded.

lost voice recognition on 3790LMT
After I replaced the battery on my 3790LMT recently, I had a few oddities. (I accidentally hit the power button several times while doing the difficult opening of the case and dislodging of the old battery, so may have insulted the unit with some odd power cycles).

If somebody would happen to see a Garmin Nüvi 3597LMTHD at a Black Friday price anywhere, I am in the market.
Garmin Upgrade Program
Garmin has an outstanding GPS upgrade program going on.
I just bought a GPSMAP 64s directly from Garmin at a decent price, and because it was an upgrade replacement to my GPSMAP 60 CSx, Garmin applied a 20% discount and transferred the maps associated with the 60CSx to the 64s.
When you are dead, you don’t know that you are dead. It is only difficult for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.
