Garmin talk

Garmin has just released its latest version of Basecamp: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4435

I have the Garmin NUVI2555LMT and my experience is with setting Custom Avoidances with this model. I assume that other models use a similar process, so I would appreciate any feedback if you have a different procedure with your model.

Hello!

Not sure if this is deal worthy enough to post.... At least for me it seemed inexpensive enough to bite and finally replace my nuvi dinosaurs that refuse to die. Most likely they will become "backup GPS units" should these new ones get stolen, misplaced or bite the dust.

I just got a Nuvi 2595. When I was testing in familiar route, it asks me to get out of the Highway on every exit. There are no avoidance in the route I was going. Any of the suggested routes is not "fastest" or "shortest". The next day It doesn't give those directions.

Anybody faced these issue in Nuvi 2595?

Given the increased amount of information available on more recent Garmin Nuvi navigators, has the 5" Nuvi screen become obsolete? I'm not only referring to the ever more common split screen "photo realistic" exit view, but also increased map detail information, increasing on-screen data dashboards, LT info etc.

Garmin Express version 3.2.1.6 got released. Just updated it.

I recently noticed that my Garmin 2798LMT GPS had a very large optional English language update available ~ 565 MB. Upon calling Garmin, they couldn't really explain what it contained other than voice enhancements for the voice recognition. Has anyone installed this and has anyone noticed any improvements in this?

Hi Guys

A new GE 3.2.16.0 is ready.

Just got the Garmin 2577 because I'm going to UK for a vacation and then plan to use it in USA from there on.
Can't get lifetime maps with 2577.
Is that a big disadvantage?
It came with Europe maps for about $30 more than the US only with lifetime.

I recently purchased the City Navigator Europe NT map on a microSD/SD card (SanDisk 4GB microSDHC), but my nuvi 260w isn't reading the card. With the card inserted, when i go to tools-->settings-->maps-->info, the Europe map isn't listed as an option.

Has anyone else noticed their NAVTEQ traffic subscription seems to have gone missing on their Nuvi?

Hi, i was trying to format the SD and i made a mistake and formatted the Garmin Nuvi50. I tried Recuva but i couldnt see the gps on the list of device. Someone could help me please?

Thanks!

Hi, This is my first visit to the site. There is a lot of good information here. Thanks to all who took the time to contribute to the information.
My question is relative to the Garmin model 540.
It has proved to be a very useful GPS unit.

I own 2 Garmin Gps.. a 1450 and a C550. I like the feature of the mp3 player and be able to use my phone with the garmin.

2 month ago the sound on the C550 went out..on that unit I had the 2014.20 NT america map.

I purchase I used C550 garmin from Ebay..also have the mp3 and bluethoot compatible..and it work fine

Hey all,

just wanted to know if there is a way to make the custom POI Icons that I download from here as large as the icons that show up on my map such as banks and gas station icons?

TIA,

Got a message on my 855 today:

Updating Garmin remote firmware.

After turning unit off/on, didn't come back.

Comment(s)?

If you look on the Garmin website for a particular Nuvi model there is now a "Find a Dealer" button on the page. If you click on that button you are taken to a basic world map where you enter a dealer type and aa address/zip code and get a map showing Garmin dealers that meet your criteria.

In the lower right corner of that map screen it says the maps are from Nokia/Microsoft.

Hi!

As explained in my first post at:

I have recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 2797LMT.
Although this is a "car GPS", I intended on using it on my motorcycle in a similar fashion as explained here:
