Garmin talk

Replaced my 8 year old StreetPilot C350 with a NuviCam from Costco 2 weeks ago. Just love the new GPS

Downloaded the latest red light camera database. All is working well. I have my NuviCam to repeat alerts, as my stereo may be turned up.

I just noticed today that Garmin Express 5.0.0.0 for PC/Windows released. Pulling it down and installing now.

Does the Garmin Smartphone Link app work with Google Maps.

I simply want to use google maps to quickly find a location and have that location sent to a Smartphone Link compatible Garmin. Either via address or Lon/Lat cords.

I searched and there seems to be a history of this capability being available and unavailable. Where are we now, with Smartphone Link V. 2.2.2xxx?

Good afternoon..

Just got a new Garmin Road Tech Zumo 590, and am struggling with how the POI files work. Having had a TomTom previously, I find it very different.

I think I know the answer, but maybe someone knows a work around.

Can the Nuvi 760, with Bluetooth, work with the Smarphone Link app? Would like to look up destinations on the phone and have them picked up on the Garmin for Navigation.

can you set proximity alerts for 360 degrees rather then just on your route

GE reports that I have two updates available... When I check to see what they are (Garmin is in the car....) it reports that there are 2 Chinese audio files...
I'd be installing them if I knew Chinese derelicts, (Which I don't)....

My 2689LMT has plenty of space left (compared to my 660, which has as many files removed as possible) Luckily, the Chinese files are not available for the 660.

Garmin is still hanging in there strong with their wearable products. Maybe the prediction of the demise of stand-alone GPSRs is a bit premature.

I"m trying to load:
Walmart
Rest Stops
Low Clearance (from www.lowclearances.com)

I can load any one of those to my Garmin DriveSmart 60LMT and see them in Basecamp.

Each is under a top directory thusly:
../CustomPOIs
../CustomPOIs/Walmart
../CustomPOIs/rest
../CustomPOIs/Low

Each has a .bmp file and the walmart and rest stops have a .wav file. The root file names are identical.

Any suggestions for a replacement for a nuvi 2597 (similiar capabilities)?

I have a Garmin 50 that only displays "Garmin" upon startup and then nothing else. When I connect it to the windows 10 computer it is not recognized. After reading other posts I tried Cure3 and that resulted in an error which said "not a garmin format". I can't do anything else with it. Should I buy another one?

Is there a wav file for dog park thanks in advance.

I updated to nuvi 2597lmt from nuvi 756t I have custom poi installed on the sd card the 756 tells my when I approach red light camera, hotel everything that is on the sd card the 2597 only gives a tone is there something wrong or is there a modification? Thanks in advance.

Changes:
• Added support for Garmin downloadable content delivery.

Is the cord for a 2595 replaceable? The one to the dash withe the antenna?

The blind factory preloaded icons on my Garmin DriveSmart 60LMTHD are irritating me. Those gas and restaurant icons without brand icon. Is there a way to hide them? I do not need to see that a restaurant is coming if I do not know what brand. I do not need to know that a gas station is coming if I have full tank. The icons cover streets what I do not like.

Hi I have a Caribbean Map in a SD Card at my Nuvi 2595, yesterday traveling to see rain damages all time say CAN’T CALCULATE ROUTE MEMORY FULL, but today checking my nuvi say

Main Unit 1.73 GB free SD Card 1.78 free, what can I Do for correct this issue before return to USA. Thanksssss

Garmin has updated Nuvicam's software to version 3.50 few days ago.
There is not much detail about the update.
"Change History
Changes made from version 3.40 to 3.50:
Improved software stability."

Went to Update GE today (From V 4.3.0.0 to V4.4.0.0)...and I got this Message:

(Path) GarminExpressInstaller.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64 Bit versions of Windows.
Please contact the Software Vendor and ask if a 64 bit Windows Compatible version is available.

I'm not doing anything different than ever before!!!

I finally sent it as a bug to Garmin Folks...

I recently set up a Garmin Nuvi 3597 for my mother in law and set up on for my sister in law yesterday. Anyway, that made me wonder what my fellow POI members are doing in this regard. If you have a Garmin Nuvi 3597:

-Do You Use The Custom Dashboard?

-If So, What Do You Select In Each Field?

-Do You Like And Use Auto Zoom Or Have You Disabled It?

For now, my selections are:
