maps or GPS
I'm wondering if my 2597 is retarded or are the maps screwed up. I was on the east side of Beloit, WI just west of I-90 on I-43 and entered an address in Lake Geneva, WI to go to.

Could 3790lmt be set up to "speak" a proximity custom POI alert (e.g. red light)?
I installed the same customer POI proximity alerts (red light, school/speed zone, etc) to both my 765T and 3790lmt.
The POI files (.csv .bmp and .mp3) were imported into both the units using POI Loader.

3597 - what files can be deleted?
This may have been discussed elsewhere.
Can I delete all the extra voice and help files that are not in my language (American English)?
I know to make a full backup before attempting this.
Can't see how 80+% of a 7 Gig drive is taken up. The map is only a little over 1 Gig and the Junction view file is 480+ megs. What's eating up about 5 Gigs?

2555 POI Issue
I recently loaded POI's (including my updated redlight camera files) to my Nuvi 2555. For some reason, the camera icons no longer show up on the map and I don't get the alert (it worked fine before). If I go into the custom POI menu, I can see all the POI's and navigate to them. What did I do wrong?

Touch screen not working
I have app. update 3.0.9.0 on my 1450. Software 6.20. I have been using Garmin Express for updates. All was good until now. I do have the 'extras' in GE. Tried out a drive this morning with voice activated. Had a hard time unselecting the mute button. Now I can't turn off the voice. When I input a "Where To' and a map is shown, I can't use the back button to make another selection.

Junction View, at last.
File under "I'm the last to know". (Maybe)
I've tried simulating routes to see the JCV "photo realistic" view many times with no success. Just assumed they didn't bother using it in Nevada.

Garmin Nuvi 360 Memory
I have a Garmin Nuvi 360 and have added a 4 GB micro SD card that is in an adapter. I have formatted the card, but when I update maps, the Garmin Nuvi 360 doesn't recognize it and only gives me 49 a state update. I thought perhaps my adapter slide switch was locking the adapter and preventing a write, but I think that is okay. Does anybody here have any suggestions?

POI loading failure
I have a new nuvi 2595LM. I've tried to load the costco US cvs but keep getting failures. Am I not holding my mouth right or is there some trick to loading a cvs? I downloaded the current map and OP system and the latest POI loader just fine. I download the cvs from this site, open the POI loader, tell it to label the file costco. Then when I click next it says the loading failed.

MapQuest
So I just realized that MapQuest is *no longer* using data from HERE (Navteq). If you look at the bottom, it now says "Portions copyright TomTom". The map looks dramatically different in my area now as well. I just wanted to let everyone know. On the plus side, theoretically you can see what data TomTom has...they use TeleAtlas right?

Auto download into Base Camp
It seems that when I connect my GPS (1450) to Base Camp, it auto downloads into BC. There are additions and deletions that I made in BC and do not want them on my GPS until I want them on it and vice versa. Am I looking at this or doing something wrong?

2460 anomaly
I noticed an odd thing with my Garmin 2460 LMT yesterday.
Driving north on I-95 in Philadelphia there are a couple of underpasses/tunnels in the Penns Landing area. One of them is a bit longer than the other. While going through the longer one my GPS went from day mode to night mode and back to day mode when I exited the tunnel.

Nuvi 3597 Map Update Conflict with Custom POI icons & Alerts?
Hello everyone, I have a nuvi 3597 and am a very basic user when it comes to custom POIs but I did manage to load a few ( shell stations, home depot, stuff like that) and have it working and icons and custom alerts showing up and working. UNTIL map update 2014.40. After I updated the map, none of my custom POI icons or proximity alerts worked or show on the GPS. Zoom level makes no difference.
Searching for POI's
I have a lot of POIs in different categories. Is there a way to search for a certain POI in a categorie?
