Power button problem
Not sure if this is a good place to ask about this, but the power button on my 2597 no longer works. I think a spring broke inside so the button does nothing now. Any ideas how I can fix it? I just need to find a way to get the button to contact the switch inside again. It won't move at all now. Thanks.

Where to find old messages
Today I started up my Nuvi 2699 after having updated some POI files. On the top line it indicated I had a new message, so I clicked on the envelope. So it showed I had one new and one old message. The new message was about new voice files. I clicked on the message and read it. Then I hit the back button and now I had two old messages. Nothing unexpected here.

What Garmin Features Do You Miss From Older Garmins?
As posted above, what Garmin features, that were on older, legacy GPS units, do you miss, that are no longer available on current Garmin units?
A couple that come to my mind are:
-The clock. One/some of my older Garmins allow you to select a "clock" that displays the current time, including seconds.

How an SD card died here
Timing is everything.... I decided to do the .11 upgrade, and used the 660 as a guinea pig...
This post is entirely separate from the other recent post regarding .11 and 660...
When I got done with download... I noticed that file names were not changed, Deleted the old files, (Which seemed to take longer than I had ever remembered) and renamed new map files, and tried card.

Question on Map upgrade loaded onto an SD Card....
Been using SD cards for Map Storage for years now.... and I've just thought about something.....
Normally I delete the map files from SD card prior to map upgrade.
Normally Map Files have to be renamed after download in order to run from an SD card.
I was wondering..... If I didn't delete the old files, would I still have to rename the files that are downloaded on SD card?
?????

What is GPSMAPPER
Maybe I had not noticed this before, but now when my 855 boots up I see something "new"? It is very hard to catch because it just shows for a second or two, but it seems to say HTTP GPSMAPPER and says to register?
Any idea where this came from? How to get rid of it?
I also have a second map showing other than the 2019.11 map.
