Nuvi 3590 vs 3597
Other than the general shape and the magnetic mount, does anyone know the difference between the 3590 and the 3597? I can get the 3590 cheaper but is there anything I would wish I had by not getting the 3597?

I'm confused about the demise of the 3597!
I'm confused about the demise of the 3597!
Earlier posts claimed that the 3597 is being discontinued, but today I get an email from Garmin trying to sell me one for $329.99 (USD).

Are they just getting rid of inventory?

DeLorme
I am currently a streets and Trips user however since they will no longer update it I am thinking about changing. I have heard of DeLorme but not real familiar. The big question I have is can I create routes with it and export to my Garmin RV760LMT as I do in Streets and Trips?
Any help appreciated

eBay cheap maps - what is the catch?
I have a Garmin 765T which I haven't really used for navigation for a while. I primarily use it a BT handsfree in my car. Once in a while it gives me the msg about updating maps.

Nuvi 855 biting the dust
Think my 855 is on the way out. Have recently been having issues with many intermittent 'reboots' while in use; unable to enter new destinations - tells me no space; unable to delete old destinations/routes. Backed unit up, did a hard reset, restored - poi's show back on the unit from PC, but not on the unit; typically have kept them on the SD - moved them to the unit, still no joy.

Some POI entries missing NUVI
I maintain a library of thousand of POIs and have been doing this for years with no problems. I just refreshed the device and some entries of one POI file do not show. I have erased the device and then loaded it with just the one POI file and it still show only about 50 entries of a 108 entry POI file. When running POI loader it says it loaded 108 entries but about half are missing.

Nuvi 3597 Power Down Issue
When I turn off the ignition in my pickup, my Nuvi 3597 displays a screen which says “Vehicle Has Been Turned Off” and starts the shutoff countdown even though there is still power to the unit. This differs from the usual “External power Has Been lost” screen which also initiates the shutoff countdown.

Updater not smart enough
to delete current map before installing new one. Keep getting message that there is not enough room. You would think that the updater would simply delete the old map, then install the new one.

Is the 3597 still the Top of the Line Unit ?
I know it's been discontinued, but is the 3597 still considered to be the top of the line Nuvi unit at this time?
I know they recently came out with a few new units, but I don't think they were in the "Prestige" category.
My 3490 is acting weird and I may have to replace it, but I wanted to get top of the line.
Thanks.

Garmin Repair via Sharcnet-USA
Does anybody have experience using sharcnet to repair their old Nuvis? I finally got an emailed response from them re the $35 cost of replacinbg my N650 screen, which is quite reasonable especially since they will also replace the battery and on-off switch for $15 and update the maps with SD card for $5.

Spanish audio conversion for US use
After searching in the forum, I found the Turbotcc voice editor.
I wonder if there is a list available of what changes needs a Spanish audio file (I assume a tts would be the best option) so as to use it in the US.
