Master Volume

Now that I have two 2460 units, and setting them up the same, I have found some differences. Some was files on one and not on the other. After deleting (saving to PC first) I am within about 100mb. Not worth looking for the differences. However, I found a setting in the mater volume on one, but not the other.

3597LMTHD and the heat

I have my 3597 sitting on the dash and it gets extremely hot. I don't recall my other models getting this hot. I know some of you use the vent mount, but what if you have the heater or air conditioner on?

I don't want the unit to get too hot and die :'(

Change Registration Email Address

I registered my second GPS to the wrong email address. I have no way of accessing that unit in myGarmin because is uses my primary email addy ... the one I should have used. Since I did not create an account when registering the unit is not available to me on myGarmin.

Harley Deal Button Link Lost

I have a Road Tech Zumo 550 gps and the last time I updated the map I lost the link from the "Harley Deal" button to the file. When I click on the button the hour glass appears then it says "No Matches Found". I know I can install the POI in their own folder and get to it through the Extra button, but I would like the Harley button to work.

URL link to report new, or closed roads, wrong addresses, etc.

I just now reported a routing error that has been wrong on my Garmin GPS for several years. I thought I would share the link: https://mapreporter.navteq.com/#dashboard . You do NOT have to register. Just click on the first "Map Creator" you see as you read down. China appeared on the map first, just rotate to USA, then zoom down on to the spot you need to edit. Right click on the spot.

Unless you are the lead sled dog, the view never changes. I is retard... every day is Saturday! I still use the Garmin 3590 LMT even tho I upgraded to the Garmin 61 LMT. Bigger screen is not always better in my opinion.

Garmin. Smartlink

Is there a right way to turn on smartlink , sometimes it connects everytime and other times it wont connect at all.

Old Garmin, extended life.

Hi,
I have successfully extended the life of my almost ten year old garmin. Free and legal.
Here I will describe the steps I did and as always: Do a backup before you start to play around! smile

Part one: Order a map.

In the first post in the thread "Free routable maps for Garmin" we have an excellent place to get a map, my choice was the first link: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

Nuvi 2798LMT with Backup Camera

I was considering the 2798lmt with the backup camera. Does anyone have any recommendations on how well this system works.

Beginner...Garmin 2595LMT or 50LM?

I'm a newbie and would like some feedbacks on which GPS system to purchase.

Garmin 2595LMT (going for CDN$169.99 with a free friction mount....basically a bean bag) or 50LM (going for CDN$114.00)?

Any suggestions, recommendations or ideas would be awesome!!

My last GPS was a TomTom XL140s. Maps were pretty outdated (7 yrs ago) and I refuse to purchase maps - not cheap at TomTom.

Garmin 50LM "hidden function" ???

Have had subject Garmin for 10 days.

At first, I was routed to/from my home to a washed out dirt road anytime I left/returned from my home. I knew better, and simply stayed on paved roads when I left or returned to home.

I noticed yesterday that my Garmin routing has changed to use the paved roads.

GTM25 vs GTM35

I read an older post that started out wanting to compare the two, but was revised to GTM25/26. So, the question is still unanswered. The second 2460LMT I traded for yesterday has a GTM25, and my primary has a GTM35. What is the difference? I have read conflicting comments on other sites.

TIA

Alphabetize POIs

I like to have things neat and tidy. After adding POIs the GPS has them all scrambled up. I guess they work without being alphabetized, but ...

Process:

*copy the POI folder from your GPS to your PC desktop
*delete the POIs from the GPS folder
*then copy them one by one from the POI folder on the desktop to the GPS POI folder

That's it. All POI files will be in alpha order.

Memory full message

I have a nuvi 2595lmt. Recently I have been getting a memory full message on the screen, and when I try to add another waypoint to my favorites I get the same message. Plugging into the computer shows I have 2 gig free on the device. I also have a 1 gig memory card installed that has nothing on it. I'm not sure what to delete or move to free up space.

Can I update a 50lm with 8 gb memory SD so it has the entire US and not just one region?

I have a Garmin 50LM, and have an 8 gig SD card, but Garmin Express only gives me the option to update with one of 4 regions of the US. Traveling with only one region presents a real problem when exiting one region into another. What solutions are available for this?

Lost Sound

I just got a second 2460, checked it out and it worked just fine. However, I missed checking the voices and touch sounds. I don't have any. Voice Command works fine, except there in no audible response from the GPS. I have tried different volume levels and Mute is off. Did I get a lemon or am I missing something?

WAV files not loading

All of a sudden, none of my wav files would load with WEBUPDATER (the new version).

What's up?

New TTS3 Voices link? Please.

Howdy all. I have a small problem. My Garmin Nuvi 3597 won't or can't connect to Garmin Express. I've tried everything. Nada. It's a Windows 7 issue that is too deep to fix. It would require a fresh install. Not worth it.

What I need are the latest TTS3 voices. If someone could post a link to a zip file on dropbox or whatever that would be great.

Thanks all!
