Garmin talk

Never had this happen before. POI Loader always worked A1. But today when I am trying to install the RLC POI on the 855 I get an error message "There was an unexpected error during the transfer of the custom POI file".

Then when I check the POI folder on the GPS the file name is there but ZERO Kb, nothing,nada.

should I get any screen protector for my new Garmin Nuvi 3590lmt? if yes, which one?

WebUpdater reports an update for my nuvi 3597:

Firmware Update for GTMxx Digital Radio Type S software version 2.30

Bought a Garmin Streetpilot 2720 to use on my motorcycle. Came with City Navigator North America NT v8 loaded and included original setup disk with Unit Serial Number, Registration Code and Unlock Code.

Today, I tried to open Garmin Express to update it but to my surprise it does not open any more on my Windows 7 laptop with the message "Garmin Express can not open because your internet connection is being blocked". I even disabled Norton firewall but no luck. ANyone else having any issues?

We have had some discussion recently on how smartphones use A-GPS to start navigating while waiting for a more accurate GPS signal from satellites. While most automobile navigators aren't connected to the cellular networks some are. Specifically, the Garmin nuvi 1690 and 1695 come to mind.

I am switching from S&T to Base Camp. When using S&T, I downloaded a .stt POI megafile and installed it.
I would like to do the same for Base Camp, but I can’t find the megafile in .CSV format. Any suggestions. Keep in mind that I am a newbie at this.
Thanks

I purchase a Europe map but cannot download as I have NO space on my new Australian device - can I clear space? If so How?

Garmin City Navigator North America NT that you could get on a DVD for free if you called Garmin?

I still have mine but not have used it in a while..

I have used POI Loader to add some custom POIs to my Garmin 2557LMT. When updated CSV files were available I deleted the GPI files in the POI folder on the device, and used POI loader to create and add the new GPI files to the device. Later I noticed I had multiple POI categories with the same name on the unit. I now have some POIs on the 2557 that I cannot remove by any means.

I had some problems with the 2797 telling me to turn the wrong direction to my driveway and at least one other location out of town. Somebody in a forum here had suggested turning off some avoidances. Turned all avoidances off now it tells me i'm home when i am in front of my house. Doesn't tell me to turn either way. Not sure about the other location

Does the Alaska map data base include land locked cities such as Juneau and Ketchikan ? Thanks.

Any opinions on using SmartLink with the 2797LMT? Specifically, transferring recent locations from the smartphone to the GPS.

Just got back from 2 week trip to mountains of NC...
Beautiful weather! Anything I asked of the 660 was entirely successful!

For those of you that use Garmin Express, and there are updates available, do you update it no matter what?. Even though the update is for a foreign country? I only update if it pertains to me in the US. Is this correct? There isn't something special in the updates, is there?

Let's start!

I recently purchased a Garmin 3580 GPS with USA maps. I have UK and Ireland maps on another SD card, which worked perfectly when put in my Garmin 52LM slot. But when I put this card in the slot of the 3580, it does not recognize the maps. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

So I checked my account and I now have a 'Windmill' badge.
I think it's a big deal on this forum if you have this badge but what exactly does it mean and what benefits do you get because of it?

I read that Streets and Trips will no longer be updating to newer years. The 2013 will be available until the end of 2014. They will service it into 2015 sometime.
I liked it as I could print out a detail of various trips planned.
