Garmin talk

I just picked up a 2598LMT and was surprised to discover I could not customize the speed data field. I would much rather have a directional indicator or other information to go along with the arrival time that is in the other data field (which is customizable). I'm curious why this was "hard coded" into this version of the Nuvi?

Anyone have the alert sound, like the one that plays at a redlight camera? The Ding Ding sound in a .mp3 or .wav? I googled it and seem to find that exact sound anywhere. Thanks for any help.

Is the custom Icon size still 24x24 or can i make it larger? and is there a trucker who has the truck icons I can have emailed to me? thanks.

Not sure of the revisions, but it is available.

Another update from Garmin: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4435

Using mapsource, is there a way to find a co-ordinate designated as: 39.951985, -75.169531

rather than N00.00.00 W00.00.00

I cannot seem to find the right setting. I found how to do it in basecamp but I like using mapsource better.

TIA, Ted

First off I have a Garmin Zumo 660. I downloaded the POI file from here that has all of the Harley Davidson stores (well at least most being it's missing New Orleans HD) and it states that I download a bmp file and stick it in the same file as the GPX file and it will add the HD logo to my map when I am riding and get close to the store (as long as I am not mistaking what they are saying).

I am so sad! I lost the cool breeze of the Windmill

With school starting and screaming out of control kids, I have forgotten to check the site. Will do better

Hi-
I have the nuvi 3597, how do i convert "Where I've been?" to a route ?
Thanks

Hi,

Firstly I must say this site is pretty amazing. Seen some really good things on here already.

I actually found the site because I was trying to figure out how to change my red light and speed camera alert tone to something a bit better than the current tone.

I have the cyclops pack installed (it is just the trial) and with this I still just get the tone which I am trying to change.

anyone know how well the HD traffic works in the Raleigh / Durham / Chappel Hill Nc areas?

TIA

I needed to create a custom POI and I need the red warning to indicate when arriving 1/2 mile from the location.

I created a file called;
Home_Redlight.csv
Manually installed it to the SD card at a distance of 2640 feet.

I have had the Nuvi 3597 for about a month. The maps and software (v 4.40) are current as of this post. I just used it on it's first long road trip and, for some reason, the voice guidance frequently does not come on when I choose a saved location and hit "go". The map shows giudande but the voice prompts are silent.

I am an ATVer. I was looking at the Minnesota DNR webpage and I noticed that they have OHV trails downloadable GPS data. Has anybody here tried anything like this on their Garmin?

Multiple downloads indicate that there is a data problem in the latest wallmart CSV file...

Planned to meet a couple of my buddies for lunch at Trellis in nearby Menlo Park, CA. Fired up Google Map on my MotoX, found the restaurant without incident. Using “share” via SamrtPhone Link to send the coordinates to my 3597, I was amused to find that the SmartPhone Link is ready to send me to a location in Merchant Square, Colonial Williamsburg, VA.

Can anybody give me some 'fix' suggestions? Unit powers on and boots up to the page telling me the maps are out of date, but touch screen won't allow the 'ok' click to continue, then screen goes dark. I tried the 'button' reset under the flip antenna, no luck. Suggestions?
