Garmin talk

I'm trying to upload a couple of icons to my 2595 via POI Loader, but with having downloaded them to my desktop and following the detailed instructions on the forum to the letter I'm getting "No data found in the folder" when I click to upload it.
I've renamed them EXACTLY as the POI's I want to use them for but it's a no go..

As an explanation why I had a frustrating experience with a new and complete re-install of GE v.5.6.2.0

I found several past versions of GE in my Revo-uninstaller. I uninstalled them and that is when my problem started. Try as I might I could not re-install v.5.6.2.0

I normally figure things like this out on my own, but this has me stumped. About a week ago, the vehicle icon on seen on the map screen on my 3597 has turned bright yellow and the features on it that were dark like the windshield are now white. All the other colors on the map are correct. I noticed this the 1st time it powered on after I crossed into Canada.

I've been away from these discussions for awhile and so have a couple questions that can only be answered here. First, looking at new Garmins I'm wondering about the Garmin Drive. Price seems right. How is it in operation? Will it fit the Bean Bag I use on my present 3790?

GE v 5.6.2.0 ready to download.

Hey all!
Quick question here, I have existing Trapster,Cyclops and other speed camera and red light camera POIs on my Nuvi from a few years ago..
With downloading the latest offerings on here, do I "need" to remove the old ones first?.. will leaving them on the unit cause multiple alerts?...or is it simply a redundancy issue?
Cheers!

I am thinking about transitioning to traveling around the US up to 80% of the year. I plan on getting a fifth wheel trailer and a new truck to pull it. I want to be comfortable but also would like to be able to camp in most National Parks and other public places.

I have a Drive Smart 60 that when I go to the All Saved Places, nothing shows my Saved Places. What is wrong? It brings up a map.

Just looking for a census of how many people are using Basecamp to make their POI files? With POI Editor giving trouble right now, I decided to give it a try and I found it quite easy and you can even use Google Earth in the process. Only two programs are needed; Basecamp and POI Uploader. I encourage you to give to give it a try.

I just loaded the last map update.

The internal memory was close to full.

I was taking an airplane/car trip to the east coast.
The bean bag stand and magnetic cradle were left behind for weight and space purposes.

I checked the operation of the nuvi by plugging into the car.
Things lit up and I was good to go................

Just saw that there is a new version of the Garmin Smartphone Link. Nothing majorly exciting: Further improved the stability of the app.

In case anyone is looking for a Garmin basic model Nuvi 57LM, they are now on sale at various locations.

Refurbs are available at Factory Outlet Store.com for $84.95.

It has been a long time since I regularly used by 2595, but another upcoming trip has me planning and getting my old unit ready.

I was talking to someone who asked me this yesterday.......

Just nosy....

I have a peculiar situation relative to mass storage.
My desktop will recognize my 3597, however the laptop will not using the same cable. Also using the same cable, both computers will go to mass storage for my Montana 610.
I have tried using several other cables, but it just doesn't help.
When connected to the laptop the 3597 does turn on, but does not go to mass storage.

I've downloaded the "Canadian Rockies Peak Finder" POI and although it is quite dated in age, the description states that there are over 1500 points listed. Now when I download it I only get 60, and Ive deleted the file and then reinstalled it (POI Loader ) numerous times and it still remains at that 60 points mark..am I to assume that it is just incorrect in the description?..

I was reading about the large JVC file on the thread:

"What is the large Junction View file for Garmin On The Road devices and do I need or want it?"

And it says on there that :

"Melaqueman - May 7, 2016
Added an indication that the large JCV file may not work with the nuvi 2797"

Hey all,
Does anyone know the coverage of Garmin's traffic service in Canada?.. forgive me I'm as still new to this whole traffic service thing but my unit has the built in receiver as apposed to it being on the power cable (if that makes a difference)
Planning a trip East into Manitoba and Ontario and would love this feature to work.

Thanks in advance!

As posted today I tried to update my GE. First I did via GE update itself on two different laptops.

Went through all the motions and then said "Installation failed".

Next I downloaded GE from Garmin to laptop # 1 and installed it. No problem it installed GE v.5.6.1.0

Did a download from Garmin to my other # 2 laptop and this time it installed GE v.5.6.0.0

Garmin Express 5.6.1 is available
