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.

when to let go of Garmin?
We have the 2350LMT, haven't updated probably in 6 mos., not interested with the crashing and leaving the laptop up for hours...
Anyway, we trust the Garmin, and actually bring it even when we drive my wife's SUV which has a factory NAV.

My Garmin 2598 GPS let me down
I just did a trip from Surfside Beach SC to Gulfport MS. Trip down was great, no problems. Trip back not so good. In Lexington SC it took me off of I-20 on to side street and country roads. Finally took me back to I-20 but cost about 15 minutes. Going down 501 near Conway SC it wanted me to go down 501 business through downtown instead of staying on bypass 501. I didn't fall for that one.

Registered and Updated my Dezl 770 and Lost all Preloaded POI's
Just got a new Garmin 770. I'm a truck driver and I used it for a week to great success. When I got home for some time off, I registered and updated my unit. Now I have no POI's. I can do a search for a particular place but, nothing shows on my map like before. Any ideas?

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.
