My Garmin 560 won't connect to my computer (Windows 7 OS)

I'm having trouble getting my computer to find my DEZL 560. I keep getting the msg "No device found", even though my unit is connected via a working (tested) USB port. Can anyone help with this?

Reboot issue

Hi there hoping somebody here can help me. I was backing up my Garmin 265W and accidentally deleted all files off it. Luckily I had managed to copy everything across onto my desktop before I deleted them off the device.

Trapster replacement?

As many know, trapster.com is no more. I found it useful for speed-trap POI (places where radar-equipped cruisers often lurked), as well as (somewhat outdated) school warnings.

Has anyone found a replacement?

TIA

Need garmindevice.xml for nüvi 1300LM

Hello Forum,

I have a Garmin nüvi 1300LM with a defective USB port - the device still charges but it not being recognized by any computer, or Garmin Express, or Garmin Map Update (I tried with three different cables on a Mac and on a PC; it does not work).

This happened shortly after I successfully updated the software to v6.20 and the maps to v2015.30.

Ideas for new garmin models

What features and sizes would make a Garmin more desirable?

Airplane baggage restriction magnetic 3597

I am planning to fly to Europe taking my GArmin 3597 with magnetic mount on board the plane (British Air). I'd want to carry on the GPS unit, rather than stow it in the hold to make sure it arrived with me. Restrictions state that no magnetic materials are allowed in the hold or cabin.

Basecamp icons?

Does anybody know if it is possible to change/add to the icons supplied with Basecamp?

GXM30 Sirius/XM Receiver-Antenna

Okay, who uses it? I bought one and am confident that it works, but I am not SURE.

According to the instruction manual when I attach it to my Zumo 550 see an "XM" selection that I touch to subscribe. I will then be presented with a display stating my unit XM ID Number and info about how to subscribe.

When I have my GXM 30 connected I do not see any indication of anything "XM".

Bridge location

Doing some research ran across this information on Garmin Support.May come in handy as a avoidance to set up on gps for various reasons.Or just to locate a certain bridge coordinates.

How do I find a bridge with my automotive device?

In some situations it may be necessary to find a bridge on an automotive device.

Trying to find device ID

Hey everyone

I'm trying to find the device ID with G7towin for my Nuvi 1490 to start with a recovery, whenever I've tried it it says file specified not found or connection timed out. I need the device ID to get started with Garmincure.

Any ideas? Other programs that may work, or other methods?

Rest areas

Some time ago, I downloaded the rest areas for AZ, CA, and NV. These are the areas that concern me for now. I was going to update them but I noticed that those certain ones were last updated in 2006 or 2007. There was an update to the 'combined areas' last December. So I'm thinking that my states have not built a new rest area since that time.

SD card and POIs.

Hi.
I loaded all POIs on my mini sd card. Removed the file except the current.gpx in the GPX folder and deleted the existing POIs from the GPS. When I insert the card in my 2557 it asked me if I wanted to move the POIs to the internel memory I clicked on no. Now when I check for the POIs in the device it can not find them. What am I doing wrong?

Suggestions for planning a trip with a Garmin device

First, let me confess that I ask this without having done any research into the question.

POI Loader (alert distance)

Does anyone know how to check and/or change the proximity alert distance in POI Loader? I need detail steps. Thanks!

garmin lm 3590

sorry to bother you guys from the states but it seems nobody, even garmin support knows how to fix my problem.
after a botched update of my 3590 with that marvelous program called garmin express i can non longer see weather. if i click on the blue wether radar icon nothing displays.

Is Garmin Really the Best???

I've used Garmin for years as most have. Overall, their products have served me well. But, updating the maps is such an incredible PITA for me, not to mention a waste of alot of time. Garmin Express has never worked well for me. I basically consider it Crapware. So, my question goes to those who have experience with Magellan and Tom-Tom, especially downloading and installing their map updates.

Battery Replacement

Not all of the Garmin battery connections are soldered since this subject was discussed in 2007. See attached for a start on how to DIY battery replacement on a NUVI: http://www.newpower99.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=GAR...

What replaced the 2597LMT?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to replace my 5 year old Garmin with something a little newer and saw some good reviews for the 2597LMT however it's 2 years old so I'm hesitant to buy it. Anyone know for sure what the 2014 or the 2015 updated versions are?

Anyone familiar with Isave for getting Nuvi's?

I have done a lot of looking and am considering the 2460LMT refurbished unit. I like the powered mount and 5 inch screen.

Walmart has it being fulfilled by Isave for $179.99 and 1 year warranty.
