Garmin talk

A couple weeks ago my Nuvi 3597 would connect to both the laptop and desktop. Now they don't. Since that last connection both PCs were updated with KB4462930 and KB4462919. Is this a coincidence or is there a problem with those updates? Anyone else experiencing problems? Thanks in advance.

Garmin Express is offering a firmware update on my 3 Garmin LMTHD devices for the GTM 60/70 traffic receivers.

My mother-in-law has a Garmin Nuvi 3597. The car she has now has Blueooth. She would like to have the following:

-Bluetooth to the car stereo system for telephone calls

-Bluetooth to the Garmin Nuvi 3597 for traffic and weather (no calls)

Example, IL is in yellow, WI is grey when zoomed in at 20/50 mi (basecamp/mapsource respectively) or closer.

Why are they in different colors?

Just received the GPS yesterday afternoon. It came in a "Refurbished" Garmin smaller label box, not the retail box.

Having seen some dialogue about refurbished Garmins I paid very close attention to this GPS.

NOT 1 single scratch on the case or screen. No sign of any use or wear. Absolutely no saved way-points etc. The installed maps were 2016.2 which I updated to 2019.2.

Well my old "trusty ?" 855 is now being retired.Using all the tricks I had learned over the years the 855 just won't connect to the power on the cradle. It will charge via USB but that is useless out on the road.

I just ordered a refurbed DriveSmart 50 LMT_HD
for the princely sum of CDN$ 125.41 Beaverbucks delivered to me with shipping and taxes in. That's about US $ 86.00

I can not get my Custom POI to isplay on the above mentioned map.

Is there a setting I have to change in my nuvi 2689 or a specific folder where I have to place the OSMap ?

Good morning friends,

I forgot how to unhide System folder on Garmin devices. My windows are set to show all files though. I will appreciate your help.

can you change the boot up picture on the garmin drive 50

Hi

I have GTM 60 cable that has stopped working. What easiest
way to open the 12 volt end plug? I realize that there is
a silver plug contact, a fuse and spring on the inside of
the end assembly, but I am wondering how the pressed plastic
plug elements come apart.

thanks
Jim

Is it possible to install gmapdm.img file on these new generation of units like drivesmart 61?

i loaded routes into the driveassit 51, but can not find them. Originally i used basecamp, the second time I tried using a GPX file, I got message that the routes were already in the GPS but I can not locate them. any Ideas?

Have had my Drive Smart 61 several times now, tells me that the interstate is closed ahead and recalucaltes to avoide. This has occured on several different interstates (57, 75, and 24). Have ignored and once I get further down the road it again recalculates and cointinues on the origional route.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I was looking for an address this evening and I noticed that Google Maps refers to a road as Juhles Road and Garmin Mapsource refers to the same road as Juhls Road. Not a huge deal, of course, at least not for me, in this case. I Am just curious which one is more likely to be correct?

I am trying to remove irrelevant maps from Basecamp.

1. I removed all the Computer Maps files using "Program and Features -uninstall command".
2. I removed all the maps from the SD Card in the nuvi 2689.
3. I removed the SD Card
4. I connected the nuvi 2689 to the computer and opened Basecamp.
5. From the menu item "Device Received from device" -nuvi 2689.

If I have multiple maps activated on my unit, will the unit read both, so as I leave the coverage of one of the maps, the second map coverage will automatically display on my unit.

Presently, the only solution to the above situation is to deactivate the first map before activating the second map.

I am too far from this situation to physically investigate with my unit.

I own a Nuvi 67LM GPS and recently, the device no longer produces any sound. After several factory resets, reinstall of the firmware, I decided to contact support. As I purchased for christmas last year (2017), I contacted Garmin along with my proof of purchase. The representative I spoke to apologized and told me that the GPS I currently have has been discontinued since January of this year.

My BaseCamp just reminded me that v.4.7.0 is now available.
