Garmin talk

My family and I are on a road trip right now. We left the St. Paul MN area and are currently in Kentucky. I have noticed a few interesting things so far,

-Temperature: I have noticed that the temperature displayed on my Nuvi, Dodge Grand Caravan, and smartphone all seem to vary by a few degrees. Not a big deal, but I find it interesting.

How do I copy saved locations from an old GPS to a new one? Will doing so overwrite the locations I've already saved to the new one?

My family and I are currently on E/B I-94 near Camp Dodge WI. I have my wife driving so that I can compare traffic between my Garmin Nuvi 3597 and Garmin Viago. We just got out of a huge backup. The Nuvi 3597 gave no alert. Then I checked Viago and it had the information. So, if I added the paid traffic app on the Nuvi, would it have had the same information as Viago?

What's the maximum number of points you can put in a route with the 2555LMT Trip Planner?

Hi

I accidentally deleted the base map img files when trying to clear space. The unit now gives the error of "No detailed maps found that support routing".

I contacted Garmin and they say they no longer support the unit but they have confirmed the base map is gone.

Does anyone have the img files from a Nuvi 250W and if so could you please send them to me?

Using a Nuvi 255W. I tried to search to see if this topic has been covered. Did not find a thread. My apology if I missed one.

FYI
Well I just got off the phone with garmin and asked about the tire pressure monitors, I have a Zumo 390LM and according to instructions and a dealer I was told that the monitors would only work on metal stems. I didn't know what was meant by metal stems and they explained it;

I picked up on a comment from another thread that questioned why the .img map file was a different size on two different devices. I too would like to understand this a little better.

Frys has a refurb 2595LMT for $90.
It has "3D Traffic".
We discussed their higher end HD Traffic, but I don't find any reference to what is different. It might be the 'regular' garmin traffic.

That seems pretty cheap for a 5" LMT unit.

Is has some sort of voice command.

Can anyone who has one of those tell about it?

I just updated to win 10 & tried to download poi files to my normal Garmin folder, but it only lets you download to the download file & you can not move it to the Garmin file. There is no right click to save as to a file. What am I missing ? Thanks

I would like to transfer waypoints from nuvi 660 to nuvi 65 lmt but don't know how.

My neighbor is looking for a good price on a brand new Garmin Nuvi 3597. Has anybody seen any good deals lately? When I Froogle it, it looks like they are about $280, brand new in the box.

So, today I thought I would update my old 660 to the 2016.10 map.

Garmin Express installed the Lower 49 just fine.

Started MapInstall, it defaulted to the "H:" drive, which is my SD card (was empty, except for the Garmin folder) and selected what parts of the maps to install (Canada).

Install occurred with no error messages.

I have tried to set wich Garmin icons to bee displayed on the map on my Nuvi 2797th I do not want everyone when I approach a town. it pop up to many banks, petrol stations and other I do not want to see. How can I set this?

I picked up a used Street Pilot III with City Navigator V4.01 and V5 update CD at a flea market and a bunch of extras came with it. I plan to use it with APRS. Maps are to old for navigation.

I called Garmin to transfer the unit and codes to my name. I had to wait a week for them to contact the other person but its now in my name.

GE had an update to the software on my Dezl 560 today. I did not get the update text.

When I first got my 2797 somehow I thought that I needed Smartlink to use the Bluetooth on the GPS. At least that is the interpretation I got from the info the 2797 spewed forth.

Well I have an iPhone but strictly on a Pay-as-you-go plan, no data plan. Therefore I do not need Smartlink nor neither can I use it.

Any ideas how to remove it from my 2797?

This website has some interesting tips etc for Garmin users. Admittedly not exactly for the newest Garmin's but I would think many of the tips are still applicable to many Garmin's in use now.

What am I doing wrong? trying to updated to mapupdateto 2016. Have the latest Garmin Express 4.0.20. Express is telling me that it can't install to device, nuvi 2557, have to use Mapinstall. Go to mapinstall and 2016 is not shown. I hope I've given enough info that some one out there can help?

Trying to update my Nuvi 2598 and keep getting a message that says "There was an error installing the update". I'm using Garmin Express 4.1.5.0.
Ideas?
