Garmin Announces its new RV660 GPS, a 6” Version of the Popular RV760

https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/rv/rv-660lmt/pro...

This unit could be a solution for RV’ers and trailer haulers with limited dash space who thought the 7” RV760 was too cumbersome.

Appears to have all the features of the 760 plus a few more.

The unit will not ship for 5 to 8 weeks though, and may be too late for a good portion of the 2015 summer season.

Garmin 2699

Just purchased a Garmin 2699 lmthd.It does not show red light camera locations like my 2460 does. Can the red light camera feature be added to this Model?

Defrag?

I was doing my twice a year/yearly maintenance on my computers and noticed I could defrag anything that is inserted into the card openings on desktop. I plugged in the 1450 and fired up one of my defrag programs and it showed that the 1450 has
1% fragmented internal memory
39% fragmented SD card
Has anyone else done this? Or not to worry.

Map theme colors - crossing boundaries

Is there a setting to stop map themes from changing color when crossing national, state and provincial boundaries? The map is easily readable light yellow in my home state of Pennsylvania, but when I cross into another state (e.g., Maryland), the map for that adjacent state is a difficult-to-read green.

Garmin 2689 LMT Time Off by 1 hour

Hello,
I have a Garmin NUVI 2689LMT that since the last map update, the time is off by 1hour, for example right now - the unit says 3:15pm when it's actually 4:15pm (EST).

I've tried everything, calling Garmin (they are clueless) and I followed their instructions:

1) Hard Reset the device from Copyright screen.
2) Backed up/restored.

Time for New GPS - Garmin 2639 and 2689, or Other?

In the near future I am considering a new Garmin. Does anyone have any experience with the Garmin 2639 or 2689, or does anyone have a suggestion for a new GPS? Thank you in advance for your information.

Garmin 2597 New POI .. 99% ok

Hello

With the great work of this forum I have successfully used POI Loader, sox.exe, created POI's using GPS coordinates in .gpx and made wav files. I have made 8 different POI's and the file name of each POI is identical to the .wav file except for the extension.

NuviCam

I have owned the nuviCam for about a week. Overall, aside from being rather massive, I like its features. I am still getting used to it and working with it, so I have not been able to access all features yet, but the new ones that I have used are useful. The dashcam is also a nice feature, although I know that some grumble about it.

Time Zone Map

So is the Time Zone map problem fixed?

I see that the fenix forums are still showing problems with V16.02 and they are going back to V15.

What's the latest here?

POI sound alert for Garmin Nuvi 2568LMT

Hello,

I am unable to customize POI sound alerts for my Garmin 2568LMT. I used POI editor 2.7.3 with SOX 14.4.2. I had a doubt with my WAV files so I used sample WAV files found on this site. WAF filename is the same that csv and bmp file (except extension).

The only sound I have is a "dong dong" sound while I expect my WAV file is played.

Do you have an idea of what's wrong?

Thank you

Time for a new Garmin

Well, my wife's 765T died after almost six years of solid service. My 765T is still going strong. I have to replace the unit with a new one, and I don't have a clue about which Garmin to choose. We're not looking for a lot of bells and whistles. Don't need Bluetooth since that's already built into her car.

Garmin 765T...Is it about the destination, or is it about the journey?

Garmin Express won't 'see' map update 2015.40

I purchased a 3597LMT a few months back. We are leaving for a big trip in few days so I check online and see they have released 2015.40.

When I plug in my 3597 and fire up garmin express it doesn't show the update......yet if I select the 3790 I used to have it does show the update for it. What gives?

Thanks!
