Good ol' Garmin
I bought one of the 2013 line of Nuvi models, which supposedly work with Smartlink on the iPhone. Since I set the unit up and installed Smartlink on my iPhone 5, I have had nothing but problems pairing the phone/Nuvi. Finally, I wrote to Garmin about it. Here's the response:
Thank you for contacting Garmin International. I will be happy to assist you.

Redlight cameras and alerts do not show up on my Garmin
Hi all, I recently downloaded an updated POI for Redlight cameras and speed cameras and my Garmin does not show symbol and alert me anymore when I come close to the cameras anymore. It used to alert me and show symbols when I came close to the cameras. All other symbols and alerts presently work. What could I have possibly done wrong?
Thanks in advance

Garmin Nuvi 2797..Where are large files hiding
The day i got my new Garmin Nuvi 2797 i made a backup copy and noticed there seemes to be no large files. Am i missing something. My computer (Windows 8) isn't supposed to be hiding any files. With my old Nuvi 1350 i backed it up and deleted the large img file before updating and it all fit everytime. With the 2797 i don't see any img files.

Can 3790 Voice Command find near destination city?
I have the Nuvi 3790, which I generally like quite a bit. I like the voice command feature, because it seems like every time I look at my GPS I almost hit something.

Does your 3597LMTHD have a Trips folder?
Does your 3597LMTHD have a Trips folder on the internal drive? I didn't make a backup of the internal drive when I first used it few days ago. I tried to make a copy of all the folders today and there's a Trips folder that has gibberish files and sub-folders in it. That folder will not copy.

How to: Decoding mini and micro-USB cables' identity resistor with a Garmin GPS
This method is valid for my Nuvi 1350. It should work with all Garmin models as long as internal R1 is the same.
It's no easy task sticking probes into mini-USB male cord end, so I hope you find this useful for reverse-engineering all kinds of USB-cables, both mini, and micro(with the use of mini-to-micro conversion dongle.
Garmin uses assortment of resistors to identify the cable type.

Several Questions About Maps and OpenStreetMaps
I just bought two old nuvi's from a garage sale:
GPS 1: Nuvi 205 with USA 2009 maps
GPS 2: Nuvi 200W with USA 2008 maps
Since the Navteq maps cost so much, I decided to install OpenStreetMaps (are they much worse than Navteq by the way?). I downloaded them from here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

Nuvi 2595LM Not Calculating a Complete Route from 6 POIs over 1,900 Miles
I have a fairly new Nuvi 2595LM with less than 12 waypoints starting in the northwest and ending in Oklahoma City. The unit cannot finish calculating the route, it gets to 67% and times out with a message that says that I must drive part of the route and it will then be able to finish.

Nuvi 2595LM Not Accepting POI Uploads
Ok, another newbie question/problem. I have been reading and studying the FAQ's tutorials, etc. and have gotten familiar with my unit's file system and structure. I have installed and tried to use GPSbabel, Extra POI Editor, POI Edit 2007 and POI Loader. I have also tried to create a small POI file is CSV format to load into the 2575. This file has 8 properly formatted POIs in it.

Garmin 25xxLMT input delay
Recently purchased a 2595LMT from Costco (on sale), disappointed that Garmin discontinued "Garmin Lock" on their devices, but nothing I can do about that. Anyway, when I press the address icon for input, the unit pauses for about 5 to 8 seconds before going to the input page. Does anyone else have this problem?, or maybe I have a bad unit.
Thanks

Questions about OpenStreetMap and nuvi 250
Having a problem getting the 3.5 gig free OSM map to run on my nuvi 250. I have installed other maps on microSD cards in the past and they work, but if I did any special magic at the time I forget it now. I downloaded the OSM USA map and transferred it to an 8 gig microSD card, putting it in a "garmin" directory on the card.

3597LMTHD Stuck in Demo Mode
My recently purchased 3597 was stuck in demo mode. None of the things I tried (driving more than 10 mph for more than 30 seconds; trying to turn off GPS Simulator-it wouldn't uncheck) worked. The unit would re-boot and always come back up in Demo Mode without ever attempting to acquire satellites.

Delete recently founds on 2797
Anybody know how to (or if you can)delete individual 'recently founds' on the Nuvi2797? Prob also applies to 25xx and 35xx series? All I see is the option to delete ALL of them.
