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 .

Online Trip Planner ?

I can't really stand basecamp. I understand that google maps and mapquest won't ship planned route to any device anymore. Is there any other online free sites that can be used to plan a trip ? I've been looking around and most seem to be pay sites.

thanks

.csv format (fields for Basecamp)

Does anyone know how to format a .csv file to properly display address, city etc in Basecamp? I have tried putting the in separate columns and separating them with a comma but no success.

Garmin Backup camera system questions...

HI Guys!

Still on the fence about my next GPS system purchase.

I do have some questions for you all...

1.) the camera system. Can I get by with the 20?
Does the 30 have features that I might need over the 20?
I mean, I don't think I will want to add more into the same system.

2.) Is there any "Lag time" in the camera system?

Garmin Xpress or Updater won't install

Hello again. I've been gone awhile and had puter cleared. Now Garmin Xpress and Updater download but do not install. Hitting the exe. does nothing. What's up? My passwords or email do not work.

Ahhh, always ask then find the problem. Good old Norton AV.

Cloning maps on a 3597

I have two NUVI's, an old 750 and a newer 3597. I have been using the cloning method to get the whole NA map on my 750 and it has worked flawlessly. Seems to download and install a lot faster too.

GTM-21 FM Traffic Receiver

My nuvi 775T came with a GTM-21 traffic receiver.
I have always received FM TMC traffic in the Toronto, Ontario area on my 775T.
Recently it stopped to show traffic information and the little traffic icon on the map screen.
Clicking: Tools > Setting > Traffic > it shows Navteg (US, CAN) Lifetime Subscription.

Nuvi shows next exit only exit number

Lately I have noticed that my Nuvicam and Nuvi 3597 show only exit number as next exit instead of street name. I don't know why Garmin made this change? Street name is lot easier because you know what is your exit but exit number does not give you much information.

Hello everyone. Firstly I have looked for an answer but have had no luck so I am now asking for some advice/help. Garmin wont reply so my next step is here with the experts.

Garmin nuvi 2460 LMT locks up/freezes

I use my nuvi on a daily basis. While traveling to my destination (already inputted address into nuvi), it locked up/froze.

It was warm to the touch and the last map image was still on the screen. Pressing the power button for several seconds did nothing.

I tried again about 15 minutes later and was able to power it down. It has behaved normally since the event (yesterday morning).

MapSource doesn't recognize my new nuvi

How do I load my favorites into my new nuvi? MapSource doesn't recognize it and I don't see an option to restore my favorites in Garmin Express.

Ugh! I have to install Garmin Express?

It appears that my new nuvi requires Garmin Express to register. I'm a bit scared to install GE because of all of the negative posts about it. Will I still be able to use Web Updater, POI Loader, and MapSource if I install GE?

Pop up window from Microsoft Windows

Plugged in my 1450 for GE and a window popped up stating
'Do you want to scan and fix removable disc (M)?. There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc.'

change Category name without recreate it

Is there a way to change the Category name without recreate it?

That #%!%^(! Garmin Express!

On a road trip to Pennsylvania, Garmin Express came on- NOT ON MY COMPUTER but on my nuvi 40. The GPS wouldn't work right because of Garmin Express. I deleted Garmin Express on the computer, but I doubt that does naything. What should I do?

Garmin doesn't turn off with car off

Had a 2595 I believe it was LMT that I passed to my brother. His daughter has been using it and recently I was told it doesn't turn off when she turns off the car. It used to but now it seems it just stays on until the battery drains down.

Trip Planner Question

I just purchased a Garmin Nuvi 2798 to upgrade my ancient Nuvi 660. I used the trip planner to plan a trip to NC for the holidays. I want to use the same route back home. I didn't see anyway to reverse the trip.

The only thing I see that may work is to optimize the waypoints to reverse the order. If anyone know of the correct way to do this I thank you in advance for that info.
