Garmin Viago
I just notice an update for Viago, (for those of us that have it), and the update seems to take only a few seconds, following the precise instructions. How can this be? It can't update that quickly. It did the same thing with the last update, last year. I finally just UNINSTALLED the maps and reinstalled them, hoping the new updates were included. Has anyone else encountered this?

Time Zone update
When I connected my 3597 to GE this morning it had an update for me. This is for Time Zone version 17. I have no idea what other models may be included in the update nor what it changes.

All inclusive collection to supplement Kenwood DNN922 database
Can anyone recommend a all inclusive collection to supplement my Kenwood DNN922 database. A reasonable cost is acceptable. I never know what is missing until I try to locate and would like to add a supplement across all locations and categories. I know I can add individual POI groups from the site, but would rather pay to have a single complete addon

City navigator Europe NT to Mapsource
I have purchased the chip for City navigator Europe NT and have it mounted via a usb drive on my computer. This map shows in Base Camp with no problem but when I open Mapsource it is not in the list of installed maps. Is there a way to get it there. Now I understand that Mpasource is no longer supported by Garmin but surely there is a way to get this done.

refurbed 52lm Nuvi
In spite of my membership in this forum of nearly 8 years it has been a number of years since I owned or actively used a Garmin device. I recently purchased a refurbed 52lm from Amazon. I started by registering updating its maps and software. Then coming here and reviewing the tutorials.
I think I backed up the 52 onto my Win 7 pc. But I’m confused;

Zoom Levels
So I saw several discussions about zoom levels, but I didn't quite see this question answered.
The issue: On my old 3760, the zoom levels worked perfectly to what I set them to. There are at least 6 zoom levels remembered:
1) "Normal speed" (below 58-60MPH) with and without an active route.
2) "Fast speed" (above 58-60MPH) with and without active route.

Garmin or Rand McNally Back up camera
I just unboxed a Garmin RV660 and find that it won't talk to my ASUS T100T tablet/notebook (Win 10.1) on the USB port, in either MTP mode or USB device mode (Garmin tech support showed me how to get to the "secret" diagnostics menu) so I can't use the RV660 with my "travelling pc" unless I just use a memory card to transfer routes & pois from BaseCamp to the Garmin.

Icon size
Last year I posted a question regarding Icon Sizes....
Just got back from a vacation this year, and have this observation regarding my 2689.....
The POI's that are Built into the 2689 (I have Gas Station and Restaurants enabled)... will occasionally bring up Icons that are MUCH LARGER than the User Added POI supplied Icons I've installed from this site....

Rest Areas Issue (SC & GA)
Just returned from vacation in FL
On I95 in SC and GA there are Truck Weigh Stations and 'Commercial Veichles Only' Truck Rest Areas that are in the Rest Areas POI.
We got on/off I95 at i26 and I4... And encountered I think 3 of these each way, Northbound and Southbound on I95.
I think Rest Areas POI is for cars, not commercial vehicles

which garmin .system files are safe to delete?
Hi, I know I've read this before somewhere, but I can't seem to find the info anymore. In the .system folder, which files/folders are safe to delete? I am trying to do a new map update but of course I've run into the not enough internal memory issue.

Garmin StreetPilot Onboard
I know that this has been discussed in the past, but I haven't seen anything just recently on this topic. For those that still use Garmin StreetPilot Onboard, how well is it working these days? Is Garmin good about sending out map updates in a timely fashion?
