Just did a software update for my 3597 ,not sure of what was invloved.Takes about a minute no problems.

I am trying to find out more about what version of Android the Garmin Monterra uses. Also, does anybody happen to know if Garmin is good about updating to newer versions of Android as they become available.

I haven't found a good thread about the features and map detail offered on these DEZL models such as the 570LMT.

I've used POI Loader for a long time to load .csv POI files to a series of Garmin Nuvi's.

Just bought a Garmin Drive 50, trying to set it up for my daughter. POI Loader doesn't seem to see it. Tried installing a micro SD card, still doesn't see it.

Anyone have experience loading POI's to this series? TIA.

Just got a 2699, what an improvement over my 660. Just took a drive on 81 in the NE and noticed that I kept seeing the gas and food symbol showing along 81. It's kind of like rest areas, not just places in the adjourning areas. So, how do I turn off these symbols?

Hi,

I have a DriveSmart 61 LMT and am having a nightmare with custom POIs....

I downloaded a list of European Aires in GPX format which I put on the device, they now appear in 'Custom POIs' > 'My points'.

All good so far.

However, I'd downloaded the wrong list and now need to remove them, all 20,000 of them.

So there's no option to delete Custom POIs on the device.

I need to have USB jack on my Garmin 1490LMT repaired. I tried using Sharcnet-USA repair request, but it doesn't seem to operate. Anybody know how to contact them?

I am trying desperately to update my map in my truck. I do not have 150$

Garmin's dedicated navigation devices continue to evolve, now with more integrated funcionalities:

I have a Kenwood radio with Navigation, I have been trying to load POI's on it, but nothing is working. I think it loads with a micro SD card, the radio doesn't see anything. I tried loading with a USB card, that didn't work. Garmin Express on my computer says it can't see the radio as if I should connect the radio to the computer with a cable.
Any experience or thoughts?

I've updated my 2689, two 2460's via GE with no problems, went to install 2018.30 Lower 49 NE to my Zumo 550 and I'm getting an error message when trying to install to device and computer so I can add the rest to my SD card after.

My 550 only has 33 MB of 1.20 GB avalible.

Anyone know where I can find a ping .wav file?

Finally 2018.30 has school zones in Edmonton. But only some.. so now my POI alerts for said school zones now are doubles.. sometimes. What a mess! One would have thought that if they got around to including school zones.. they would do the whole city at once..

And.. there are still numerous main cross roads that do not show in the top header bar.

Found this site by accident the other day if any one is interested. Has a lot of cool vehicles for your Garmin. http://www.vehiclesforgarminnuvi.com/

A new Garmin Smartphone Link app was released 11Oct2017. Release notes are a cryptic "Improved Stability."

GE says 2018.30 is available

Well totally by accident I discovered why I was having problems to update Garmin Express from within the program. It would go so far and message me that it did not install.

The secret I found for that is to do the following !

Got to C:/Users/your name?/AppData/Local/Temp/

Notice the slash is wrong but that is because POIfactory will not allow backward slashes.

Garmin Express v5.7.1.0 can now be downloaded.
