Garmin talk

I am unable to save locations to the SAVED folder on my 3590. I select the location, pick SAVE from the menu, enter a name, select DONE, but the location is not there. Only the 3 Garmin locations are listed.

I copied the current.gpx file to my desktop, read it into Extra POI Editor, manually added the address, and exited the program, saving the file.

When I load the Custom POI file and select Categories in the "Where To?" dialog, the Custom POIs appear 3 screens down. Is there anyway to rearrange the list so that the Custom POIs are first?

Similarly, is it possible to move the Smartphone Link App to the first screen of the Apps page?

I have a 3590.

Thanks

Here's wishing all POI Factory members a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Hi, I have used POI loader successfully for years.

This year I purchased a new computer with Windows 8. I haven't used POI Loader for around a year. I installed the version I used to use and have problems. Using the latest version has the same problems.

Waze saved us a lot of time last night due to police closing down a major road (rt 22 near Newark Airport). Garmin was solid green. I think like it or not Garmin is becoming slowly obsolete.

I have seen that an European Nuvi can have both the Junction View and the DEM files. However if I purchase a CN EU SD card for my 3697 I will only get the maps. Is it possible to down load the EU JV file from some Garmin site (as we can do for the NA version) and if so can I install it onto the card and will the GPS see it?

Just picked up a Nuvicam to possibly replace my 2797. Had already ordered a KD LINKS X11 dash cam but returned it In favor of having a single corded unit on my windshield. In general, it is an improved GPS over the 2797, size comparison not withstanding. Some immediate first use impressions:

We all know that our units are not accurate in the sense of getting us to our destinations faster or even with better fuel mileage. We can all relate to this by using our units at home. Generally speaking we can get to our destination faster than our Garmin's can. Garmin units don't know rush hours and other variables. It learns? sometimes...lol.

Firefox just automatically updated to 43.0.1 and it disabled Garmin Communicator. The Garmin website has a note that says "Firefox No Longer Supports this Plugin

The page you are trying to access no longer works with this web browser. To help, Garmin has created a secure shortcut to open the Internet Explorer web browser on your computer and take you safely to the Garmin.com page you need."

I just want to say that the refurbished 3597LMTHD is available at thegpsstore.com for 199.99 right now. My wife ordered me one for Christmas and it came in 3 days no problems!
I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but forgive me if it is a repost. It's not too late to order for the holidays!

Seems like a pretty good deal at Buydig.com for a Garmin 55 Refurb with a 1 year warranty

can you down load twisty roads on to a 350 garmin gps.
Garmin says you can not. they have twisty roads on 390 and 590

Well, the LCD on my 15 year old eTrex is failing. Several dead rows of pixels. The new eTrex10 is fairly inexpensive, but I'm not sure it's really worth getting a new eTrex considering I have Google Maps and a GPS in my phone.

I have seen strange issue with Starbucks icons when using Starbucks POI file. The icon shows up for certain locations and does not show for some. I could not figure out the reason. I will appreciate your advice.
I am using Nuvicam. Even if I navigate to certain Starbucks locations, the icon will not display.

Had anyone owned a Garmin certified refurbished? Any reliability issue? I bought 2689 refurbished with discount and wondering if it worths the hassle down the road. It provides the same warranty as the new one.

Worth $20 or should I buy HD traffic for $60? Thanks.

This topic came up on another thread http://www.poi-factory.com/node/45474 about Real Voice with Real Directions compared to other voices that only offered Real Directions.Didn't want to get the other thread off on another topic.So I started this one for discussion.

I wouldn't have thought a my Nuvi55 could tell which lane I was in -- it's just a few feet to one side -- but I think it does. Is this right? The situation:

Because of that it will tell you to go 3/4 of the mile to the next light, make a U turn and come back.3/4 of a mile. When you go to Home Depot or any shopping centers where you got a six lane highway, there is a center divider for left turns to shopping areas 99% of the time.Garmin had NOT programmed their devices as of now. Stone age programmers working for Garmin. A major joke I say.
