Garmin talk

So, with this new update to Google Maps, Garmin nuvis just became slightly more obsolete. The biggest change in my opinion is the added lane guidance feature. It functions the same as Garmin's version of the feature, but, I would be willing to bet that Google's version covers many more roads (NOT talking about junction view).

Is there a way to mark all postings as read? I think I need a fresh start.

RE: Garmin 3597 V4.30

Was I asleep for the past year or did Garmin just add an UPDATES section under SETTINGS? I don't recall seeing this in previous firmware updates.

Anyone have issues with subj? It frequently crashes on large files and has on occasion crashed my PC when loading large .csv files.

Just purchased a Nuvi 50LM ( US Lower 49 model ). From a number of online reviews, had an expectation that it would come preloaded with red light camera POIs. That was not the case.

After going back and revisiting the reviews claiming red light camera data came preloaded, discovered these reviews were from international locations, primarily Europe.

Where does nevteq get there info on traffic.

Hi all, about this topic. In few words, could you kindly explain what difference between MTP and Mass Storage Devices. And when I should use one or other?

For Nuvi 2797LMT, what protocol I should use for communication with my pc?

Many thanks

I am looking at replacing the 7" in dash receiver system in a 2006 Freightliner Sportchassis.

Looking on line I have seen a couple that not only have the radio/cd/back up camera/ etc., but also have navigation capabilities. I believe it was a Pioneer that I saw that listed the GPS as Garmin.

Does anyone have experience with these? Are the maps up dateable??

Have the 3597 for quite a few months and love it.

I have observed one annoyance however.

Starting from a hard-rest or set a new locale, the auto-zoom would function properly, zooming in to a medium level at local streets and out at freeway driving, zooming really in at free ramps, until I let it guide me to a destination.

The auto-zoom functions work normally while on a route.

I have the Garmin 2797 LMT and it seems like I don't get any traffic info untill I'm right on it and sometimes when I check for traffic it say it's clear when it's not. Anyway to fix this?

I updated my 3790 a while back to the newest Garmin map and it worked fine all the way home from Mexico. But I always set up a route. The GPS zoomed in on the roads and highways I was on just fine.

Now that I am home and in my own town almost never have the need to set up a route where ever I travel it looks like I am at about 5 miles altitude.

I used to have lots of Bluetooth connectivity issue on my Nexus phones with Nuvi 3597. I used to close the Smartphone Link app after shutting down my Nuvi 3597. Far the past one week, I stopped closing the app, it is always running. Now my Nexus phone connects flawlessly with Nuvi. It is working flawlessly on Android not sure of IOS.

I have a Garmin Nuvi that has been used for 4-5 years. When I connected it to BaseCamp the first time, I could see tracks from as early as 2009.

Later, I connected it to MapSource, also for the first time ever. MapSource could only see about four months of tracks. When I reconnected it to BaseCamp, it too could only see four months of tracks.

Are there any hints when CN NA 2015.10 will be released? I have some relatives' Nuvis temporarily so it is a good opportunity to update the maps for them.

If the new version is coming out in the next week or so, I will hold off to update to the latest version, but if won't come out until late May, I will just update them to the version that was released in February.

So far...I love it!!! I have to play with it and learn where everything is, but wow it's a nice unit!

Since CN North America 2013.3, the entire North America mapset no longer fits on my StreetPilot 2820 that I use on the motorcycle. My work-around is to load the maps into Mapsource or Basecamp,and create an unlocked img file of the lower 49 States and eastern Canada. That has reduced file size from 2.3 GB to about 1.6 GB.

Change History Changes made from version 4.20 to 4.30:

Improved visibility of updating maps and software with Garmin Express. Improved visibility for Demo Mode. Fixed search result display issues. Improved map display performance. Improved route calculation and recalculation. Fixed audio issues. Improved translations. Fixed issues with mounting SD cards. Improved software stability.

I don't think this has been reported yet. There is a new update for the 3597/3598 nuvi as of 4/25/2014. The update page says to install with Garmin Express, but I used Webupdater on my unit.
