A New(?) Garmin air vent mount - BUYBITS Ultimate

I've just come across this air vent mount and wonder if anyone here has tried it:

It seems to have a couple features making it more desirable than other air vent mounts, generic or Garmin-made.

Borked Favorite Categories after map update

I've been searching/reading about time-stamp and odd numbered categories showing up in favorites and it looks like it has happened to me. I upgraded my dezl from the 2014.30 map to 2014.40 and just noticed this.
At first I thought it was the firmware upgrade (3.70 to 3.80) but I just remembered I've been using it for nearly a week after doing that.

Deleting Favorites in Nuvi 2350 LMT

I am having a problem deleting some favorites on my nuvi 2350 lmt. I had to install a mini sd chip for additional storage on a map update. Before I installed the SD chip, I could delete the favorites I requested. Now with the SD chip installed It will not delete any favorites as requested. Any help? It seems it retains them on SD storage device.

If you are replacing the battery in a nuvi 2555 do you lose everything like POIs and routs

NUVI 2555 LMT Won't Power Up

I was working on my GPS, using battery power.

I put it into sleep mode and when I tried to turn the unit back on, it would not start.

I'm resetting my Nuvi to factory,

I'm resetting my Nuvi to factory, but the battery is failing. What happens if it runs out while doing the reset? The instructions say to not have it connected to power.

If it matters it's the one about the size of an iPhone.

Basecamp Waypoints

Is there any way to import the favorites from my dezl560 into BaseCamp? I've tried to import Current.gpx and it gives an error.
Thanks

Difference between Map Updates

Just went to get updates for maps (2014.4). It says that there are two map updates
1. Full coverage of North America 2014.40
2. nUMaps Lifetime North America 2014.40

What is the difference?
Should I download them both? They both seem to be the same size

Mapupdater 3.3.3 & Windows 8

A friend has Windows 8 and he attempted to install 2014.40 using Mapupdater. After 3/4 completed with download, he got the Error Message (didn't see the exact message but assumed it was the same before 3.3.3 was released). I later installed 2014.40 using Windows 7 on my Nuvi and computer and there were no problems. Anyone else have issues with Windows 8 and Mapupdater?

How to factory reset Garmin Nuvi 265WT

I would like to factory reset my Garmin nuvi 265wt. Has anyone had problems after a factory reset?

saved places on map

Is there a way for my nuvi2595 to display ONLY my saved places on map?
If I select show places along road, I see tons of banks and places to eat and alot of other things clogging up the map that I am not interested in.
I would like to see ONLY my favorites.

The nuvi 265 displays saved places as small squares which is great! I have the 265 in a work vehicle.

Ads on a 3590?

I've had a 3590 for a few years now and never before have seen any advertising pop up.

A tale of two chargers

I was sorting through a rat’s nest of assorted car chargers and syncing cables for my various models of Nuvi's and I managed to sort most of them out and match them to their correct units except for two. They are for my earliest model a Nuvi 260 and its bigger brother a 260W. I have two chargers with two different part numbers and I am not sure which one goes with which unit.

Garmin/ AT&T Discontinue two way cellular NuLink service

I have a Garmin Nuvi 1690, it has the cellular data link with Google Local, etc. I also get traffic through that NuLink service.

I just got an email from Garmin that they are discontinuing the data service as of March 4th, 2015. A year from next month.

So no traffic for that unit anymore.

It never really worked all that well. Kind of glitchy.

Dear Valued Customer,

Will Nuvi Work in Iceland?

Theoretically if one was available from Garmin, if I got a Street Maps of Iceland on an SD card, would it work in a 2495? 1490T? How exactly would one go about enabling the unit to function with the Icelandic map?
