Distance limits ability to see Custom POIs
mgarledge recently had a problem with being able to see a Budapest POI on her unit. This was discussed in the thread "BaseCamp Help And Information" (see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/35029) Note that mgarledge was the OP of that thread)

Shortest Time Routing?
On a recent trip from GA to Dunedin Fl the Garmin Nuvi 3590 routed me of I75 short of Tampa. On the ride home it took me through Tampa. Even accounting for traffic delays it seems to me that the routing was incorrect.
Any thoughts?

Garmin lessons
I have been having my own problems with the BIG learning curve with Garmin. Has anyone studied the lessons that Don Norwood has on utube? I see there are 18 lessons. I have watched four of them. It's very envolved. As before, one step at a time. It's like cramming many years into a few days of learning. I can see why I am overwhelmed! I still need to learn more about JCV files.

Nuvi 2597 Won't remember map icons
Does anybody know or is having the same problem I'm having with my Nuvi 2597? The unit doesn't seem to remember the icon I choose to display in the map when saving a location. For example, I may choose a "house" icon when saving an address but when I re-start the unit it reverts back to a "heart" icon!
Is this happening to anybody else or other units?
Thanks.

maps or GPS
I'm wondering if my 2597 is retarded or are the maps screwed up. I was on the east side of Beloit, WI just west of I-90 on I-43 and entered an address in Lake Geneva, WI to go to.

Could 3790lmt be set up to "speak" a proximity custom POI alert (e.g. red light)?
I installed the same customer POI proximity alerts (red light, school/speed zone, etc) to both my 765T and 3790lmt.
The POI files (.csv .bmp and .mp3) were imported into both the units using POI Loader.

3597 - what files can be deleted?
This may have been discussed elsewhere.
Can I delete all the extra voice and help files that are not in my language (American English)?
I know to make a full backup before attempting this.
Can't see how 80+% of a 7 Gig drive is taken up. The map is only a little over 1 Gig and the Junction view file is 480+ megs. What's eating up about 5 Gigs?

2555 POI Issue
I recently loaded POI's (including my updated redlight camera files) to my Nuvi 2555. For some reason, the camera icons no longer show up on the map and I don't get the alert (it worked fine before). If I go into the custom POI menu, I can see all the POI's and navigate to them. What did I do wrong?

Touch screen not working
I have app. update 3.0.9.0 on my 1450. Software 6.20. I have been using Garmin Express for updates. All was good until now. I do have the 'extras' in GE. Tried out a drive this morning with voice activated. Had a hard time unselecting the mute button. Now I can't turn off the voice. When I input a "Where To' and a map is shown, I can't use the back button to make another selection.

Junction View, at last.
File under "I'm the last to know". (Maybe)
I've tried simulating routes to see the JCV "photo realistic" view many times with no success. Just assumed they didn't bother using it in Nevada.
Delete waypoints
I made a trip early last year and have all the waypoints saved in a folder in 'my collection', Garmin Basecamp. They are also on my Garmin 1450 internal memory. Is there an easy way to delete these off my Garmin without doing it one at a time. It would be nice if I could do it in Basecamp, when Garmin is attached, and just highlight all, then delete. I tried that and it didn't work.
