GPS units with rearview backup camera?
Well, I have not replaced my aging Garmin unit yet.
But I have been noticing some units with a backup camera.
I looked briefly and the units I found were seemingly intended for an RV, which makes sense, I used to have an RV and a backup camera was very helpful.

Call Button feature with Custom POI's loaded to the Chrysler Media Center 430N?
Has anyone found a way around this? The pre-loaded POIs do allow one to call the phone number via Bluetooth.

Wife says maybe we should consider a new a New Garmin.
I'm not certain...
We'd want 7" unit... I would assume Lifetime Maps and Traffic...
What is your preferences?
(This does not mean I am giving up on 660)

Don't think it was WAAS.... 660 Lost it's mind
Inside house, with antenna not up, powered up 660 and added a new favorite...
Was going to have it tell me how long to get to this new destination, but then I found out I had shut down 660 far from home, so it would have to find home first.
So went outside, raised the antenna, and while it was awaiting satellite reception, it flat out died!!!

Red Light Camera file: Ease Of Use and Accuracy
This is my first post. Thinking of installing the POI-Factory Red Light Camera file on my Garmin nuvi 52 GPS device that I received as a gift. This is my first GPS device and I am not sure if the Red Light file is worth installing. Does it work well, is it easy to use, is it accurate, etc.? I live in Nassau County, Long Island, New York and would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Yellow Color when attaching a MTP device
I was doing some testing of what happens on a restart the other day. I did a master reset on my 2595 and - as I expected - the factory defaults include being in MTP mode.
Before putting the device back into MS mode, I attached it to the computer and noticed that the Icon of the Tower and the USB cord were in yellow (versus the white I am used to).

Viago gone?
I found this link over on the Garmin software forum: http://sites.garmin.com/en-US/viago/
This app is no longer available for purchase or download.
It appears that Garmin may have discontinued Viago ... too bad. Although it could have used a few enhancements, I kind of liked the program.

safety and red light poi's to sd card
Hi,
First time here. I downloaded to POI Loader and safety and red light camera files. The instructions say to load then straight to my nuvi. Will they still work if I load them on my sd card instead and install that into the nuvi? I would rather just deal with the sd card most of time instead of connecting the gps.
Thanks, GQ

Can't see my old POI's after downloading new ones?
I purchased a new 50LMT after my old Garmin died. I added some POI's and they worked fine.I later added some new POI's. The new POI's are there but I can not see the original POI's. I looked in the memory and the old POI's are there but they are not showing up on the screen.I went to the download file to add the old POI's but It's telling the files are already there? Am I missing something?

Replacement for Nuvi 3790T? Does Garmin have any new flagship products coming.
My faithful Nuvi 3790T finally but the dust after 5 trouble-free years (touchscreen went belly-up).
I'm looking to replace it but I'm not liking the 2015 models they have so far. I don't like the cheap plastic construction and the non-powered mounts. I think the 3790 spoiled me.
