Traffic Receiver

I'm try to decide if i should spend the money. After commenting here "node/45542" i noticed my 3590 was not receiving traffic anymore. I really didn't want to spend all that money on a GTM60 which i would never really get to use. 3D is limited to say the least.

Thanks so much in advance for all your help.

New Version of Garmin Smartphone Link

Garmin just released a new version for iOS. The graphics are totally different. I will test functionality this morning and report back. The update notes mentioned bug fixes. I tested it this morning going to work and it seemed to work fine. I mainly use it for live traffic. It stayed connected to my iPhone 6 with no issues.

Updated nuvi 2598 to version 5.2 and now HD Traffic won't work

Updated the firmware earlier this week. I used smartphone link on my iPhone for traffic one time. Today I tried using my HD Traffic will iPhone disconnected. Message under settings said Receiver Disconnected. It doesn't recognize my power plug as a valid traffic receiver. I believe 5.2 also updated somethings with traffic receiver. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Nuvi 2460LMT Repair

I have a Nuvi 2460LMT with a damaged screen. I have removed the damaged screen and ordered a complete replacement.

If members who have replaced GPS screens would share suggestions and/or instructions it would be most appreciated. For example: Is it necessary to transfer the old “rubber” tape to the new screen? Is calibration required?

Nuvi Line Being Replaced

Garmin has announced a new line of automotive GPS units called Drive. For detail see:

The Nuvi has had a great run since the first 350 was released in 2005 but it looks like that run has come to an end.
