Garmin talk

Hello. Is anyone having a problem with there Garmin Nuvi 3597 not charging. I haven't used it in a while so the battery is probably dead. I've charged it up via the:

- USB cable to the computer
- I hooked up my ipad 4 white connected that plugs into the wall with no luck.

I have created two different Garmin Devices.

I bought a Magellan Roadmate 5045-LM to replace my Garmin Streetpilot c330.

How can I transfer the Garmin format "My Locations" files to the Magellan?

I found the "Extra POI Editor" in the files, but I'm not sure if/how I can transfer the files. Can someone clue me in? TIA

I had noted a problem about "Extras" not loading in GE in another thread and someone else mentioned that they also had the problem.

Well the "Garmin Forum" came through with a solution. Here it is:

1.Open Garmin Express
2.Click Device
3.Click Delete Device from Express
4.Uncheck the box next to Delete the saved backups
5.Click Yes to remove the device

Hi guys
A new GE version is avaliable now. V3.0.12.0

First of all, I ask that many of you read this whole post instead of jumping to conclusions. I was wondering if any one you had designed a route, simulated the driving the route with various stops, and went from stop to finish without any problems? First of all, I designed a route with a courier service that I am employed with. I designed the route with seven stops.

Is there any way to load tracks into an 850 and have them display as normal trip logs?

I've done "tracks" downloads with Mapsource (at least Mapsource says it downloaded them) but nothing actually downloads. Trying to upload them back into Mapsource produces the message "no tracks exist".

I've plugged in a micro card w/tracks but they don't display.

Garmin recently added a Garmin Express Forum as it's own forum category on their software/developer forum site. At least for the moment, there seems to be an actual Garmin support representative that is monitoring the new forum, which is kind of unusal in the Garmin forums.

I maybe traveling to Aruba and it doesn't appear that either the N. American or S. American maps contain routable streets for Aruba. Does anyone know if there is such a thing? It appears they have maps for other islands like P.R. and Jamaica, etc.

Has anyone successfully used "safe texting" on their 3490? I vaguely remember when I first got this unit (about 2 years ago) that there was a feature on the Nuvi that would Bluetooth to your smartphone (via MAP) and it would display (or announce?) received texts on the Nuvi.

Hello,

How do I use the POI loader to load JCV file ? The POI loader doesn't recognize the file extension.

Please help.

Unable to factory reset no matter what corner I hold my thumb on when doing a power on.

Also unable to go into diagnostics mode. I don't really want to go into diag but just trying to see if that would work.

I wanted to factory reset since some of my routes shut the unit off until now I have never used the reset.

looking for some help. I hv done everything that has been said here to a tee, but still no sound alerts. Not even a ding.

thank you.

I have always been happy with using Mapquest.com to create routes and send them to by various Nuvi models especially because the function seems to come and go (mainly go) from Google Maps. Anyhow, I created a route today and went to SEND it to my Nuvi 3597 only to find that the SEND command has dissappeared from the upper right corner of the Mapquest map screen.

I upgraded from XP to Win 7 and can't find the hidden system file!

I went to CP folders and clicked on show hidden folders but that did not work.

Help

Hi after reviewing the YOU tube video for changing the battery is a bit more than I can handle.

I have had my 465T since 2009 and it has treated me well. The purchase of a new battery is in the neighborhood of approx $75.00 and to have garmin support do it. It appears it would make sense to buy a NEW garmin.

Good Morning everyone!

I'm the author of the "Charter One Banks - Ohio" POI file, and I'd like to bring it up to date. If any of you are aware on any Charter One branches in Ohio that have opened, closed, or moved since 2008, please contact me off line with the information. For new or relocated branches please include the latitude/longitude information. Thanks.
