Garmin OpenStreetMap -Correction
I have attempted many times to make a correction to a OSMap, but I have not had any success. I am looking for a contact for either OSM or another account member, to whom I can forward this information so changes can be made to the map.

Hmmmm? Europe traffic in the US
Hmmm!!!
a. If you have a European map installed
b. Have the SmartPhone app installed
c. Are IN the US
Can you get traffic info from europe if you get the screen to display roads in europe??? Probably not.
But the traffic in Paris, France shows up in Google Maps on a PC here in the US. Don't have a European map installed in my 3597LMT, so I can't test this.

install OSM to Nuvi 2689
Since my SD Card keeps falling out, (SD Slot is on the bottom which is a poor design), I am wondering if I can copy the map into the internal storage of the device.
What folder would I use as the Map folder is empty even though I have Garmin Maps installed
Can I delete some of the files,(all files not designated with US) in the Keyboard File?

Curious folder
I just found this folder in my computer on the C drive. I am using the forward slash since this forum does not allow the backward slash.
I did not create them.
Can anyone enlighten me why or how this came to be?
C:/Documents/Garmin/Backups/2UE133841/
2018-05-04 (18.33.22)
2018-06-06 (13.06.46)
In each of the 2018 folders there is a .System,GPX,POI and Reports folder.

Topo Maps
3597, and I have downloaded and installed, (on a SD card) one Topo Map. The only was I can see it is if I uncheck all the other maps and leave the Topo checked in my maps.
Is there any other way to view the Topo without unchecking all the other maps?

Wrong Speeds
I've noticed numerous wrong speed limit indications with my Garmin. I have notified Garmin about it and gave them the coordinates but no change with the new updates. It's been almost a year now. I've also found many more errors which causes a concern if you are relying on the Garmin GPS to inform you as to what the speed limit is.

Garmin Got it Right
Seems as if other apps aren't handling I-11 very well.

Forest Lake Rest Area 0.7 mi
Below were selections: Stop Asking and Ask in 30 min.

NuviCam screen turning off issue
For the last couple of days I have seen one strange issue with my NuviCam. The screen shuts off while the device is still working. The other issue I can see is the battery. Looks it is not charging and may be due to battery issue, it is shutting down screen?
Please advise..

Is Voice Command Recognition Getting Worse?
I upgraded to the latest software and maps on my 2689 about a week ago and after a 3 day road trip I swear the ability recognize what I say has gotten worse. Seems to happen after every upgrade. Most times when I ask for a street or place it seems to come up with something not even close to what I said.

GTM 60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver
I purchased the GTM 60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver some time back for my Nuvi 2597.Was aware of the Weather icon, but had never used it and had forgotten it was there. Decided to try it out while on the interstate. Showed me the current weather for the area plus the extended forecast. Nice little feature to have.Sure it is limited on locations available to get the weather report.

New Roads Appearing on Maps
Last week Interstate Highway 11 opened in Nevada. It is a short section that bypasses Boulder City, and the freeway may expand using existing or new routes to Mexico and points north in the future.

3597 POI Limit?
Just added poi's to my 3597 using poi loader.
I received the successfully added notification.
They are not showing up when traveling.
I tried zooming in and being with 200 feet or less
They are listed under custom poi but don't show up on the screen.
Is there an upper limit to the number of poi's causing them not to show up?
Under no circumstances whatsoever, will logic and common sense be tolerated.
