We just upgraded from a Garmin C530 to the Garmin 52LM and was testing it out on a recent trip whereupon we noted strange route determination calculations. The problem can be duplicated on our 52LM using the GPS Simulator mode as follows. (...but I am also wondering if this is a problem for other Garmin models.)

I'm using a 2555LMT and I'd like to program a simulated route but I'd like to move the starting address. Is there any way to set the starting address?

At certain areas around Ottawa, I get speed limit readings of 2 Km/H; this happened with my 855 and now with my 2597, usually for just a few hundred meters. Not a big deal, by annoying at times.

Comments?

I have several routes on my Garmin that I'd like to be able to see in BaseCamp but I have no idea how to get it to show up. I can import waypoints etc. but it doesn't import routes. In the import pull-down it lists routes but none come onto the computer. I see them in Trip Planner on the Nuvi but not on the BaseCamp. How do I get this to work?.

I know that this has been discussed in the past, but I haven't seen much of anything posted on this lately. Some time back, both Google Maps AND Mapquest Maps has the option of sending results to a Garmin GPS. I do seem to recall seeing that Google to Garmin is no longer an option. Does anybody here know what happened?

Here's the question. You have a new nuvi that has come with lifetime HD traffic, but you also have a smartphone and your nuvi can connect with the smartphone via Bluetooth with the Garmin Smartphone app. The question is: after adding the free Garmin app to your smartphone and linking it to your nuvi for basic weather, should you pay the one-time $20 fee to access LiveTraffic?

I have had a Garmin Nuvi 360, that I bought used, that has the ability to make Bluetooth connected telephone calls. I have never even tried that feature. A big part of that is because a friend of mine is a big Bluetooth advocate and his calls generally sounded awful through Bluetooth.

i was real surprised that a fairly expensive GPS does not have TTL . it will only tel you "turn right in 1/2 mile" etc, but no street names
just an observation

i am trying to find the website that had all previous software versions available for download. Anyone have the link to the site ?

can you prevent these warnings from coming up every time ?
i get these:
end user license agreements (traffic cable not installed in the car yet - once installed maybe it will not come up again after agreeing )
warning about changing thing while driving

on my nuvi 760 i used the "Jack" voice and on nuvi 2797 i see only "semantha" & "michelle" where are the man ? and how can i load "jack" from my nuvi 760 ? i tryed just copy & paste and when i tried to use it, it said not compatible

So, I was poking around in the Diagnostics Menu and at the bottom of the page is the Drive Hours Logger (Enable/Disable). I enabled it. Anyone know where the hours appear or how it's used? Or even if it works without the Hours of Service module from the new 765?

i just got my nivi 2797 & i tried using my old poiloader to download all my created poi eg. sam's club, rest areas etc
but the poiloader is not seeing my nuvi. using Garminexpress it sees my nuvi , but now i don't know how to add my extra pois
please advise

new version available Garmin express 3.2.27.0 as of today

Hello.
I'm interested in a nuvi 2595. Does anybody know if it comes with a power cradle?
Thank you and Happy New Year.

I connected my Garmin Nuvi 3597 to my computer and tried to use MapSource, but I had no luck. The cable is good because I was able to use Garmin Express. I recall reading something about Garmin MapSource in the past. Is the Garmin 3597 not compatible with MapSource? Do I have to use Garmin BaseCamp now?

bought wife a new 50lm for xmas . I also bought her a 8gb micro sd card ( my tomtom wont do new maps because of space ).what would you put on the sd card to save space on her garmin for the map updates ?

from a reputable eBay seller offering new open box 3597LMTHD's in factory packaging with 5 year warranty and free shipping for $290

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Garmin-nuvi-3597LMTHD-5-Inch-Portabl...

Sold 31, still has 9 available.

Not clear who's warranty it is though.

I recently received a 2597 to replace my 855. On the 855 I could to to /settings/My Data/Import Route(s) From A File to import a route I had uploaded from MapSource. I can't seem to locate a similiar function on the 2597. Any suggestions?
