Garmin talk

I had a scare the other day. I hadn't used my Nuvi for a while and when I took it out to the car, the touch screen didn't respond. Some of the icons did not respond at all, some responded if I pressed real hard. It was frustrating and I thought my beloved 765t was gone. I did a hard reboot and it is at least responding now but it seems as if I have to press harder than I did before.

I have a new NUVI 2797. It seems like a real nice piece of hardware and has a very nice large 7" display. Sound quality is excellent.

The socket on the back of my C550 has pieces broken out of it and will not connect or stay connected to the ball mount. Sunlight and heat in the car probably took their toll on it. Is there anyone that has a dead unit with a good case that I could procure? I have seen some on Ebay but they either go too high or they want a small fortune for shipping.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the current, or future GPS's (3597LMTHD), will show the traffic on the whole route? For example, on a route from Chicago to Detroit, it would be nice to the see affect of the current Detroit traffic while I'm in Chicago pulling out of my driveway.

Normally it seems the traffic pulls only when you're in a local area. MSN did a better job with the national picture.

I have never used an air vent mount, but I see that there is now a genuine Garmin Air Vent Mount.

I was wondering what the difference between the two services NAVTEQ and Clear Channel Premium Traffic. Can both be used simultaneously on my Garmin device?

Looking to buy my daughter a Garmin. Please recommend a good one for the least amount of money.
Thanks

Found this file on the root directory of Garmin 660... It appears to be a .pdf file.... Can this be safely deleted to save space? 1.42Mb in size.
It appears to be an owner's manual.

Thanks...

Hi all.

A while back I saw an add for a GPS mount that attaches to the windshield post using clamp on bracket. Anybody has an idea where I can find it?

Thank you.

I doubt this will be of interest to most people, but I will post for those that it may be of interest to.

I have been learning the various features of my new 2555LMT and I first thought Trip Planner was of little use, when you could load multiple Via Points, using Where To.

Anybody using the Nuvi 2557? What are your thoughts? Like it or not?

FYI,

Last night Garmin Express uploaded and installed a firmware update to v2.90 ON my zumo 665. I was attempting to find on the Garmin site the details of the update TO READ AND POST ... but ... for the life of me, I can't find where Garmin is hiding it on their site.

Hi, I can't see schools southeast in my POI on my C550. I see the red light cameras and when I look at the file when hooked up to the computer I can see the file on the Garmin. What am I doing wrong? Can I get a step by step format to download the school file and upload it to my Garmin?
Thanks in advance.

I would like to make a GPI file similar to this one. I need help. Thanks in advance.

The file location is

I had trouble down loading it, so I could email it too you if you have trouble.

Interesting.

UPDATE: There is an Amazon page for the Monterra that lists it as a 4″ unit with WiFi, 1080p video, and an Android OS with the ability to use Android apps — opening the door to app developers creating ”new outdoor-centric apps.” The MSRP is shown as $699.99.
