3597LMTHD

I am looking at getting a refurbished 3597lmthd. Only thing I am concerned of it is discounting by Garmin. How long do they typically support software updates for older models?

Garmin Gpsmap 478 obsolete?

This must be an already discussed topic but does anyone know a solution to the 478's memory or lack there of. It has the special Garmin proprietary slot but no memory to be found other than so small sticks on ebay that wouldn't help much and still would hold the latest map.

Nuvi 1300 won't load external maps

A few weeks ago, I added a 16g microSD card and loaded the latest maps using map install. Everything worked great up to yesterday when I notice the GPS appears to have only the base map showing. It was obvious the detail map with POI and detailed streets etc.. was not being loaded. The GPS boots properly with no error either with or without the microSD installed.

It should be noted that these prices can be matched and in a few cases beaten by other retailers.

audible speed alert

How can I set a speed alert for going 10 mph over the speed limit. I have gotten a couple of tickets in areas I do not know. For example, A frontage road along the freeway that is a 40mph and got a ticket for 55.

Insufficient memory to show travel from NJ to CA

Hello all,
My first post here. Looks like a great place to learn.

I live in New Jersey.

I just purchased the North American maps for my Nuvi 650. The installation using Mapinstall went OK. I have the NE maps on the Nuvi and the entire US maps on a 4GB SD card inserted into the unit.

It is interesting to me to see what Garmin models are available outside of the United States.

Nuvi 3597LMTHD Refurb

Just received my 3597lmthd refurb.
First of all, I want to thank you for your tips and tricks.
Added new maps, firmware and saved favorites without a hitch.
Couple of things that I'm not crazy about. Minor quibbles.
Too smooth in texture. Not 'grippable' will be prone to dropping.

Different Warning Sounds for RLC and Speed Cameras?

Can I have different sound warnings for RLCs and Speed Cameras?

Currently I get the "boing boing" for any/all poi's that are set to have an alert.

I would like to have sound A for RLCs and sound B for speed cameras. There is such a proliferation of them in the NYC area that you can have the audible warning and not be sure if it's an RLC or speed camera coming up.

nüviCam™ LMTHD

Does this new unit use trip planner? I like creating custom routes with Base Camp or MapSource and then uploading them. I never liked the way Trip Planner handles custom made routes so I am currently using a Nuvi 1490 since most models after that used the Trip Planner software.

Need help to install in BaseCamp

I want to install the ‘Campgrounds an RV Parks Combined’ (11-16-2015) file in BaseCamp.

So I downloaded the CSV version, I converted it to GPX format using the ‘Navman Comma Separated (*CSV)’ version of PoiEdit.exe. When I try to import it in BaseCamp, I get an error message.

Splash Screens a thing of the past?

I noticed that my new nüvi 2598 does not have a picture viewer. Does that mean we can no longer set a splash screen image?

Garmin Express Issue With Windows 10.

Up till now, I have had very few issues with Garmin Express, but since I have upgraded to Windows 10 it has quit working. It goes through the motions, but when it gets to preparing device, it just hangs up here and will not download the new maps. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there going to be an upgrade to Garmin Express to work with Windows 10?

Map Update Installs to GPS but fails to Unlock in Basecamp

I always install map updates to both my GPS and computer. Four of the last six map updates installed on my GPS but failed to unlock in Basecamp on my Win 7- 64 desktop. All 6 updates installed perfectly in Basecamp on my Win 7-64 laptop however.

Des Moines green light camera to come.

The Des Moines police department is planning to expand its camera location.
The only people who pay are those speeders who drive over 10 mph in downtown Des Moines. This might keep people trying to beat the red light.
It will be at GPS location -93.628956, 41.586920 .
