Garmin talk

Just took delivery of a factory refurb'd DriveSmart 59LMTHD with 1yr warranty from Garmin.

Gave it a full charge using Garmin AC wall charger then powered unit on to check out it's features.

First thing I noticed was lack of "snap/pop" of colors on display. Adjusting screen brightness makes screen lighter or darker but of course does nothing to improve screen contrast.

Garmin is replacing my 760 because of a bad screen. I have another good 760. How can I get my "saved" locations from the old 760 to the new one?

Thanks!

When I connect my nuvi 3790 to my PC, I see a warning message on the lower-right corner of the computer:
"There is a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it."
The nuvi 3790 works fine without any problem.
Why I am getting this massage?
I am affraid to do this scan and fix.
I would appreciate any help and advice on this.

Do any of the new Garmin units call out which lanes to be in as you approach tool booths if you have transponder that negates need to stop to pay tolls ?

A few years ago some of the folks that had been here a long time were saying the Nuvi 3597 was still the best Garmin ever built. Do you still think so. I bought a refurb a few years ago and it is still going strong...thanks Stan

From the main menu in 660, I can hit the Satellite signal Icon in upper left corner of screen, and bring up a satellite menu... and see which are connected and signal strength....

How do I do that same thing on 2689 ????? Doesn't seem to work the same....

Thanks

Would someone keep an eye out for the large JCV, please?

The latest map update is now available to download.

Pretty sure I know the answer to this but I'd like to hear what others have to say.

Fairly sure the internal battery on my Nuvi is faulty...can't get it to turn on even after overnight charger using wall charger, doing soft resets, etc.

Thought plugging into car outlet might bring it around...nothing.

I just rcvd my 3597 refurb but I can hardly hear it indoors. My old 1490 is VERY loud in comparison. Is this normal? Is there anything that can be done?

Looking at POI Factory Red Light Database is 9.00 per month or 20 per year. Garmin is now offering cyclops red light and speed camera for sale at 25 for a year. Any idea on how they differ?

I want to purchase one of them for my Drivesmart 60lmt, but unsure which one to purchase.

Thanks for any help

I presently own a Garmin 60CSX. I'm looking to upgrade to a 64S or 64ST.
Will I be able to transfer data to the 64S with my old MapSource software or will I need to use BaseCamp?
I have an old Topo Canada map that I've been using for my ATV and snowmobiles rides. Will I be able to transfer the old topo map to the 64S?
Thanks

I was thinking of a recent trip and toll roads. My preference is to not take toll roads, but do as needed.

How do you really really empty memory space on a nuvi 2589, all these back to factory resets are bull, if you have 97% memory after the reset you still have 97%, I would like to start from new is that possible??

Hello My 1st post here.
Trying to get voice alerts to work. I am using a mac.
Uploaded a wav file to a floder on mac, then used garmin POI loader Mac version to upload to sd card in nevi no luck
Any ideas??

Thanks

I'm in process of updating my old Nuvi 1490LMT since my newer 2599LMTHD "bricked". I have downloaded & extracted large Javier file to my PC.

I have installed SD card to 1490LMT with Garmin folder and sub folder JCV. Question...do I still need to run Garmin Express or do I just copy extracted, large jcv file to installed SD card ?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

Can't get my Nuvi to power up. Tried to soft reset to get it to power up....nothing.

Any ideas ??

It is now available with new device software 5.60

Hello,

Firstly I would like to say hello to everyone, I'm new on this forum, but have been using your valuable inputs for years.

I have a question regarding maps, if anyone had this experience.

Would BMW Navigator 5 "eat" the NT Europe map and navigate properly?

Just downloaded Garmin Express 6.0.0
