Garmin talk

My Nuvi 765T... after the last map update, it wouldn't boot past loading maps and stalling out... I installed the latest Garmin Express on my MacBook Pro... hooked up the 765T... and it proceeded to install 2015.10 maps... and my Nuvi is back from the dead... I'm not at all sure what happened or why... just quite pleased that it's working again.

Brand new to pre-loading POIs onto a GPS. Took me hours to figure out the HOW.

I have a 2595LMT and lately I have been having issue with the connectivity with USB charging port. I thought the port was dirty but it turned out that the soldered pins on the port separated from the board and there is no way you can fix it.

I am trying to install a wifi alert but every time I do all I get is the default alert. I'm using the Garmin 2797 can anybody give me some info on this.

Hello. Just got a 255w for a trip to Europe. It came with the Europe map on an SD and the newest 2015.10 map on another SD card. The preinstalled north american map is very old 2012. So I see no reason to ever need it or even use it.

So is it possible to take the 2015.10 file off the SD & replace the preinstalled old 2012 & just kill off that old preinstalled map?

Its somewhat annoying the speed changes to red when you go 1 over. Sometimes its harder to see/read when its red.
Who doesnt go 1 over?
Is there any way to change it say 5 over before it turns red?

On the 2597 if you create a new category how do you tell the GPS what category a saved favorite or waypoint is supposed to go in. For example with my 855 I would load geocaches with EasyGPS and they would automatically appear on the map with the little treasure chest icon. With the 2597 they appear in the saved list but not on the map unless I assign an icon to each individual listing.

Does anybody knows where can I buy a replacement power cable for my 2597? It is a TA20, part number 320-00239-70.
I haven't been able to find it anywhere, not even at Garmin.com. I believe it specifically has to be this one because even though the cable doesn't have a traffic receiver, it acts as an antenna.
Thanks,
Eddie S.

Hello,

Searched the FAQs and Garmin before heading here. Where do you go to find the traffic version?

I read that you go to GE to update. All I find there is the perpetual update for the FM Traffic for everywhere, but the U.S.

Hey everyone, hoping there's some hope for this, as Garmin basically wants the price of a new GPS to repair the old one.

Is it possible to edit the Garmin IMG file on the GPS? I want to delete areas that I do not drive in and make room for a secondary map.

I could reinstall the maps and request certain regions only at install time as a last resort workaround, but I want to edit the IMG file myself.

Thanks!

As most know, there have been numerous problems with Garmin software lately. Fortunately, I have not experienced similar problems and want to offer one reason why that might be the case.

I use Revo Uninstaller (as do a few of our other members like Malaqueman and williston)

What's with Garmin with its installation problems, updates and what have you? Getting really sick and tired of this.

Unable to find the setting that will turn off the "autostart" with Windows. Did G do away with the selection?

Don't be to hard on me for using GE in the auto mode. I WAS new and learning. Now I find that it takes resources I don't need to part with, and slows restarts to a snails pace.

Couldn't find the post that said they were having trouble loading maps to PC because there wasn't an option in GE to do so. I have v3.2.4 installed and if you go to Device>Reinstall Maps>Advanced Options you have the 3 options available: Device, Computer, Both. I did not try the download to Computer so I don't know if the process works, but the option is there.

I thought that I should start a fresh topic. I have had the same problems as others in downloading new map update into computer. As of today, I DL again and I didn't think it was successful but 2015.10 does show in uninstall programs list. It seems at that same time my computer decided to do a reboot.??

Garmin has released a new major upgrade for Basecamp, v4.3.1:
