DELETE ALL POI FILES
Hello!
I am a total dummy when it comes to POIs and my Garmin. I have a Garmin nuvi 3597! A while ago, I loaded POI files into the 3597.
Is there a way to delete ALL of the POI files from the 3597 that I have loaded in the past, so I can start fresh?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

My son took my Garmin to Disney World !!!!
In addition to taking his wife and my Garmin to Disney World, he also took my grandkids.
All I got was his darn dog for the next 10 days ... walk, urinate, defecate, pick it up ... repeat as needed, rain or shine, day or night.
Pretty much the dog and I do the same thing ... except she won't pick up after me.

Garmin Nuvi 2699 vs Google Maps
I went on a 10 hour trip this past weekend from Florida to South Carolina. On the return trip around Atlanta, I decided to test the accuracy of the directions of the Garmin vs my phone's Google Maps. I did have the 2017.2 version of maps.

New Map not recognized on my 3790
I have 2016.2 on my 3790 and Garmin Express tells me I have the current map. I really don't know why I don't have 2017.1 on there. I thought I had upgraded to that. Any ideas how to solve this?

Garmin Express help needed
Need help. For the last 6 months I have not been able to run Garmin Express on my Mac laptop. Every time I try I keep getting a red bar on the top of the page that says "Sorry, we're having a problem communicating with our servers". I contacted Garmin and they walked me through to make sure all my settings were correct and then said they don't know how to fix my problem.

How To: Housekeeping. Purging unnecessary Garmin files from your windows PC
Turns out Garmin installation process takes up about 13GB of space for each map.
Garmin Express deposits downloads in
%programdata%\Garmin\CoreService\Downloads
The files used by Basecamp to use the maps on your computer are stored in
%programdata%\Garmin\Maps\\Product1

External USB Charger Question
Hey --
I've tried a generic external USB-to-outlet charger, but when I attempt to navigate through its menu, it complains of traffic receiver incompatibility with the next screen going entirely white and inoperable. Nuvi 775 had no problem with it.
It's set to Mass Storage Mode by the way.
Is there a compatible external USB charger?
Thanks.

Nuvi 2597 restarting
I typically have my 2597 connected all the time. I've noticed lately that when I turn my car off for even a few minutes, the unit goes through a full start-up, i.e. reloads maps etc.
Comments?

The frustrating thing about garmin
This is like Google 9, Garmin 0
Map updated in March 2016.
Garmin could not find the Magic Kingdom in Orlando.
Google maps just click and go. But it does drain the phones battery...
My hunch is there is some "other" address to use. Just like Garmin never likes US State Route 1 etc

Is the Garmin server down?
I just tried to update the maps in my 1450, but when I started MapUpdater (NOT GE), I'm getting the message "A connection to the server could not be established..."
Is anyone willing to try MapUpdater to see if you get the same result?

How do you cure a boot loop?
My poor old Garmin nuvi 500 is stuck in a boot loop. I haven't tried yet to plug it in to see if I can get to the file system via the back door. Any hints? Booting while holding down the lower left and/or right corner didn't do squat.
Thanks in advance.
Amazon is not always best. (Almost) saved $20 on a refurb 2797
I say "almost" because I blew $6.99 back for Priority Mail.
I have been watching the 2797 refurb (and others) on Amazon for months. The VA just a bunch of $$ they owed me after an audit, so I jumped.
