Garmin StreetPilot Onboard

I know that there has been some discussion in the past about Garmin StreetPilot Onboard, but I want to re-kindle this since I am considering an Apple iPhone and I would buy this app if I bought the iPhone. How well does this work? I currently have Viago on Android. I am reluctant to buy it if it will be going the way of Viago soon, though.

"Lost" custom avoidance.

A few months ago we took a trip to a location in the countryside, let the GPS (3579) calculate the route. This involved many secondary roads and was a very pretty drive. However along the way we came up to a “Road Closed” sign (bridge out) so took the DOT detour to get to our destination. Before heading home I set up a Custom Avoidance for what I thought was the closed section of road.

CamSam Plus

I know that this is technically not the correct forum, however the reason I am posting here is that the correct forum Smartphones & Tablets is not very active and there is only one reference to CamSam there.

Speed traps California

Hello, I'm from Argentina and the next week I will be in California. My question is: there are any POIs that shows speed radar, speed traps, something similar?
Thanks for your time, I will be waiting an answer.

How to avoid major highways and the proper kinds of via or waypoints

I have recently purchased a Garmin 3590LMT. I am planning a road trip. I want to travel through AL, TN, KY and IN on highway 231. No interstates, etc. 231 extends from the FL panhandle to north of my final destination in Indiana. My specific example:

Huge HERE Update

So, the Map Creator at HERE isn't even available. It says that they are integrating a huge number of new roads to the maps across the world, including 6.5 million km of new roads in the USA! This is a great sign.

Google buys Garmin, could anyone see this happening?

I've always loved our Garmins except for the live traffic data. IMO, I think Google has the market when it comes to providing up to date traffic info. So in my dreams, I see Google come in and buy Garmin, future Garmin models all provide the crowd sourced traffic data, build slimmer less clunky models and like that, the Garmin brand effectively kills off the competition.

Arranging Sub-folders

How do you change the arrangement of sub-folders in the Custom POIs folder so they are organized in a logical order?

Let's help Garmin design their next flagship GPS for us aficionados!!

I think Garmin should build at least one unit for us! People who like to use our GPS, and know what information we'd like to get rather than the great unwashed masses who just want to know where the next Starbucks is!!

Nuvi 710

Hi everybody, I have a Nuvi 710 and I have the following problems that seems to be unsolvable, firstly, my GPS`s time is a hour in advance, the time zone is correct, but the time is out.

Garmin Express 4.0.17.0

Refurb Garmin Nuvi 2757LM or Nexus with CamSam?

I can get a 2757LM for 179.95 or I can get a Refurb Nexus 7 for 79.95.

The advantage of the Nexus7 is obviously that it can be used for many things in addition to a GPS.

I am trying to justify spending the extra $100 for the Garmin.

The Digital Map Business Buyout Saga Continues!

More or less then OSM? Google or Apple Maps? Nokia thinks HERE is worth about 2 billion euros. According to the Bloomberg article: "The company’s map business provides data to Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp., Yahoo! Inc. and four out of five car-navigation systems."

Garmin express won't load

I had Express 4.0.11? it worked fine ,then 14 came out and it would not load,64 bit system then it now says installer missing or on another disc? It also says it cannot delete older version. I have all the rest of Garmin programs but Express just won'install? I sent Garmin an email but i think that was a waste of time. Does anyone have any ideas.
