Garmin talk

HI...when I cleaned up my DELL I lost mapsource on my PC... Can I just dl it from garmin ? I no longer have the CD's..

Thanks..

Does anyone have any Problem using Garmin Dashboard.The device it show on my PC but Garmin Dashboard does not detect them. I install again the garmin plug in and it install fine. I try with 2 different Gps and got the same result. and the same messages that the web page does not detect no device..I had the same problem last week but then it found the device after many try..

Previously WebUpdater had an install routine. This new version 3.3.3 does not. I downloaded and what I got was an executable that has to extract every time it is run. Is there another version of this that has an install routine?

I have added some Motel/Hotel locations. When I open the Lodging POI folder and see the listings with the miles they are NOT accurate. However, if I select the POI and then touch the location for the directions the mileage is accurate.

Example 1: (Home) Spanaway, WA to Comfort Suites in Astoria, OR is 142 mile, but from the folder listing it is 91 miles.

Hello all, I am currently having an issue with the voice (Samantha) breaking up. When she is announcing directions that are more than a word or 2, the speech is noticably broken up. I have deleted my track data on the unit. I was going to update the unit, but reading the mess that is the current update I'm stumpted as to what to do. Any suggestions.

After using my 2597 for awhile I find there are things that I like better about it than my 855 but I sure don't think the voice commands are anywhere as versatile as on the 855. It would be nice if some firmware updates could take care of that. I also find the beeps that I can't shut off every time I use the touch screen most annoying.

GE Version 3.2.4.0 is out.

Now that I have two 2460 units, and setting them up the same, I have found some differences. Some was files on one and not on the other. After deleting (saving to PC first) I am within about 100mb. Not worth looking for the differences. However, I found a setting in the mater volume on one, but not the other.

Just found this. Not too many left.

I have my 3597 sitting on the dash and it gets extremely hot. I don't recall my other models getting this hot. I know some of you use the vent mount, but what if you have the heater or air conditioner on?

I don't want the unit to get too hot and die :'(

its OUT

I registered my second GPS to the wrong email address. I have no way of accessing that unit in myGarmin because is uses my primary email addy ... the one I should have used. Since I did not create an account when registering the unit is not available to me on myGarmin.

I have a Road Tech Zumo 550 gps and the last time I updated the map I lost the link from the "Harley Deal" button to the file. When I click on the button the hour glass appears then it says "No Matches Found". I know I can install the POI in their own folder and get to it through the Extra button, but I would like the Harley button to work.

I just now reported a routing error that has been wrong on my Garmin GPS for several years. I thought I would share the link: https://mapreporter.navteq.com/#dashboard . You do NOT have to register. Just click on the first "Map Creator" you see as you read down. China appeared on the map first, just rotate to USA, then zoom down on to the spot you need to edit. Right click on the spot.

Is there a right way to turn on smartlink , sometimes it connects everytime and other times it wont connect at all.

Hi,
I have successfully extended the life of my almost ten year old garmin. Free and legal.
Here I will describe the steps I did and as always: Do a backup before you start to play around!

Part one: Order a map.

In the first post in the thread "Free routable maps for Garmin" we have an excellent place to get a map, my choice was the first link: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

I was considering the 2798lmt with the backup camera. Does anyone have any recommendations on how well this system works.

I'm a newbie and would like some feedbacks on which GPS system to purchase.

Garmin 2595LMT (going for CDN$169.99 with a free friction mount....basically a bean bag) or 50LM (going for CDN$114.00)?

Any suggestions, recommendations or ideas would be awesome!!

My last GPS was a TomTom XL140s. Maps were pretty outdated (7 yrs ago) and I refuse to purchase maps - not cheap at TomTom.

Have had subject Garmin for 10 days.

At first, I was routed to/from my home to a washed out dirt road anytime I left/returned from my home. I knew better, and simply stayed on paved roads when I left or returned to home.

I noticed yesterday that my Garmin routing has changed to use the paved roads.
