Garmin talk

Good day all of you, I just get the Nuvi 2797LMT.
It works fine until I had registered and map updated the unit via Garmin Express. Now, the unit goes black screen after the Garmin's logo starting screen.

Per the user manual, I hold 10 sec the power button to reset the unit, but same result, the black screen still there.

Other technics to bring my 2797 back to life?

Are there any recent or current 5" or 6" Garmin Nuvi models that come with a powered cradle? I will appreciate any advice! Thanks!

I played with my Nuvi 765t yesterday and suddenly there was a picture of a camera in the top right corner of the screen. When I pressed on it it made a sound line a camera taking a picture. Any ideas?

I cannot understand how the device is choosing what route to take. I have it set for fastest time and turned most avoidances off. I think ferries are turned on. However, it still does not give me the fastest. For example, when driving in New Jersey it does not take the NJ Turnpike.

Hello All,

I recently bought a 3490LMT to replace a 1350LMT with a bad display.

I noticed it came with a GTM60 cable, with HD traffic. That's great, but I'm in Canada and won't be receiving any of that.

While reading the thread 'Any good deals out there' I have seen the 'HD Digital Traffic' with the 3597. Having seen this before and not knowing what that was, I watched a small clip on the subject. To those that have this feature, does it work as stated? Does it help that much as being faster receiving more detailed traffic updates?

I uploaded the Redlight Cameras POI, Rest Areas, and some Fueling Stations using the poi loader. The redlight areas appear on my 3590 just fine. Nothing else does though. With the 3590, how do you select the different custom poi files you want to use?

A new update of GE V3.1.8.0 is ready.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to transfer a route from either MapSource or Basecamp to my 855. It would seem it should be quite straightforward. Is there something I am missing, other than selecting the "Send to Device" button?

I was recently told about routing dozens of stops here in town by loading a GPX file into a GPS, which will (or can?) theoretically arrange all such stops in the most efficient order, based upon the shortest rout, or else the fastest rout, depending on which priority I select. This would be ideal for a delivery driver, or anyone who needs to find many new addresses each day.

Looking for a second unit either 4.3 or 5 inch. A list of voice command units would be helpful. Anyone have such a list that you are willing to share?

TIA

Hello, my Garmin 2555LMT comes with 3D traffic but no 3D maps. Would anyone know if there is a way to get 3D maps on this device? Thanks.

Paragon one of the leaders in backup utilities just came out with FREE backup software. No need to spend $$ for extra features. It does a quick job right out of the default install. It took less than 1 minute to backup my 2460LMT.

I've made a discovery in the apparent way routes are calculated. Many of you have complained that various Garmins will refuse to route a road even when it is decidedly shorter and faster. Even with Trends on and repeatedly using this road.

There seems to be a problem with the (NOP) (No overnight parking) comment in "WalMart, Sam's Clubs, and Super WalMart Centers in the United States & Canada"

I have just called four Walmart and one Sam's Club in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia that were marked as (NOP). They all said overnight parking was welcome at their locations.

I should be ashamed of myself. I have been away for a long time. I got a smart phone last year and decided that I no longer needed my Garmin. Yes, I am an idiot. I gave away my 1690 as I thought that the smart phone would be better in the long run. "Wrong". I am looking at getting a new on and like the HD Traffic, any opinions out there?

In looking at the various files on my 2460 I found a files in the .system folder named UStats.log. This file appears to log what you have done on the keyboard. I always get a little concerned when I find any file that tracks what I do. Especially, when I don't know about it.

Any comments here?
