Garmin talk

My 3590 suddenly responds with "The route is too long. Navigation instructions are added as you approach the destination" when it is turned back on after downloading routes from Mapsource. After the message is displayed, I checked and found that none of the routes have been loaded in.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but do any of the newer Garmin units display a different color for hospital or university/college areas? I have a 3760T and the map only differentiates areas such as airports/military/reservations (other than city limits and parks of course).

Guys and gals,
I just updated 3 nuvi's and I am now out of hard drive space on my computer. I know I have read on the site about deleting the maps that are installed on your hard drive when you download the maps but I can't seem to find it. Would someone please enlighten me as to the correct paths to follow to find these maps? I certainly would appreciate any help given. Thank you in advance.

I created a route in the above mentioned program and exported it to my computer as a ".gpx" file.

However when I try to import this file into BaseCamp, I keep getting "Error".

The saved gpx file can be converted to a KML file and imported into Google Earth.

Can someone supply the steps and software links to enable the gpx file to be imported into BaseCamp and then my Garmin Nuvi 2595.

I have a Garmin GPS with external traffic receiver GTM 36 power supply cable. I am having some trouble with it. Is it possible to get the wiring diagram for GTM 36 antenna.

I did a search and did not find this topic. I recently bought a 3490LMT from Amazon and just noticed that the GPS upper left corner has an irregular L shaped darken spot, slightly larger than the size of a quarter. I am sure this is not the outside glass coating and has to be under the glass.

Happy Winter!

I finally decided, it was a tossup between the 3597 and the 2597 and the more I thought about it I decided I didn't need the extra features on the 3597. One of Garmin's tech support people I spoke to said for the money she thought the 2597 was a best buy.

Is it just me, or has Navteq or Garmin dropped the ball on quality control? It seems to me like for the last three updates that the information on the gps is constantly getting worse.

Just saw reference to a Nuvi 3592 which integrates GPS and Video Dash Cam. Looked really nice but it is only available in Singapore. Garmin told me no info available re its intro to the US market in the foreseeable future. Yet another mistake by garmin marketing, instead of capitalizing on the next big thing in auto accessories in 2014. Anybody have updated info?

This has probably been asked before so let me apologise in advance.

I can load POIs complete with icon files to my garmin so long as the icon file has been created by an expert and downloaded from this site.
If I try and create my own icon, or modify a downloaded one, I just get an error message and the Garmin only displays a grey dot.

Hello all,

I have been out of touch for about 3 weeks and seen some comments about the 2013.30 map. I check garmin and my maps are updated with the recent 2013.20. So what is going on.

Does the large screen have the same degree of brightness and contrast as earlier models?>

Is there a way to move files from the internal memory to the SD card. The internal storage is full and the SD card is empty.
Thanks
Butch

Well this is a first for me. I updated my 3490 to firmware v.8.10 and the maps to 2014.30 via Garmin Express (first time using it). I backed up all my favorites prior to updating via Basecamp. I wanted to cleanout some old ones so I erased all of them from the unit and went to restore them after the update from Basecamp.

Well I wonder if we have another Garmin software update fiasco, like the 750 updates that bricked so many GPS devices.

On my 2450LM, software update 3.60 caused the speed limit changing color to stop working. Garmin suggested a master reset.
Unit did not survive the reset and now will not boot up.

Anybody have any similar experiences?

I plan on going to CES 2014 (like I do every year). Last year I gave a fairly extensive review on the newer 3597 model. I'm curious to see if there is going to be another replacement this year. So far, nothing posted on Garmin's site. I think they usually announce new products a few days before so I'm looking forward to seeing if there is an updated model.

Does anyone know if the favorites on a Chrysler/Jeep 430N system can be downloaded to a flash drive?

Thanks

I finally got the voice alert to work on my 2460, I had to revert back to sox 14.0.1, did not work with the later versions. Thanks to all who tried to help, had me going nuts
