Nuvi 2689LTM audio

I am asking the members here who might have found a solution, I searched but could not find it. I have a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (rag top) so naturally with the top down Garmin is tough to impossible to hear.

Garmin has always had problems it seems

With addresses formatted like, 145 State Highway 82, Anytown, Anystate, USA

It truly failed us on Sat., could not get to our destination. Map was updated maybe 2 wks ago, and the destination has been there over 50 years.

Used my android to google the establishment, then navigated there with google maps without issue. I don't get it...

Deleting Download Data

I'm running tight on hard drive space on my laptop and have been reviewing which programs have the largest amount of data.

I have discovered a set of sub folders under the following and I'm wondering if some of this can be safely deleted.

C:/Program Data/Garmin/Core Services/Downloads/Map

Under this sub folder, there are three additional folders designated as:
/Map_Map.NA.2015.40

No unlocked maps were found for this device.

Well, I just tried updating my North American maps on my Garmin Nuvi 2797 using Mapinstall and I get the message "No unlocked maps were found for this device".

The latest NA maps are already installed on my computer and on the 2797, but I wanted to see if I knew how to go through the procedure anyway. I recently updated those maps and I have a lifetime update that came with the Nuvi 2797.

map update 2017.2 out yet?

Is it time to start the thread for the 2017.2 maps yet?

Garmin Express 4.1.18.0

Can you hide Garmin favorites on map?

Just bought a Garmin 2597. I copied my favorites over from old 205w. The problem is I have so many favorites you can't see the map sometimes when navigating or read street signs when driving or zooming out. Tried to turn off whats up ahead through map tools and map layers. When you are in the map layer setting, the favorites disappear from the little map, but they still show up on the big map.

SD card vs. Download of Maps

Hello all,

I own a Garmin Nuvi 650 and a Nuvi 2797.

I have two questions:

Garmin Smartphone Link IOS app new update 2.1.0

This morning I found new update for Garmin Smartphone Link app for IOS. It has been updated to version 2.1.0. They added support for Zumo 595 Live Track. Bug fixes and improvements...

Nothing major unless you have Zumo 595.

Drawing a Blank on Icons

I'm drawing a blank here. I just a Nuvi 770 and it has those hideous large green Heart icons for Favorites on the map. Annoying. I have Nuvi 760 and a Nuvi 2597 and neither one has those icons. I found the spot to Edit and change the map symbol, but the only choices are more hideous green ones.

Love's Truckstop POI's

I have a Garmin 770 and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have installed other truckstop poi's with their appropriate .bmp file and I know they have to match in name. However, when it comes to Love's I fail. Any suggestions?

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?

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?

New Time Zone map for Nuvi 2598

Garmin Express is indicating a new update available. I'm sure it applies to other models as well.

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

Condo Complex Nuvi 2689LTM

I came from the TomTom world, first Garmin, I live in a rather large condo complex, they have no street names but the main entrance has a street address (i.e. 229 whatever road).
