Nuvi 2597

Can any one tell me why my new, (refurbished), 2597 does not zoom in and out at 58 and 45 mph? All three of my previous units did. I've done a reset and it still doesn't zoom automatically.

Old Map version VS new one

I have the 2014.20 Garmin map on SD card,before I update to the New 2014.40 I would like to know what does Garmin change on the New Version, I know Garmin is a company they the care about making money,and don"t you wish they would tell you what did they change from the older version to the new one?

Dearth of city/town info?

I'm a recent convert to the Garmin line after years of using TomToms. I recently took my new 2595 on a trip and was surprised at the lack of visibility around upcoming towns/cities. I would expect these to be noted on the route ahead but more often than not I didn't find any evidence of the town or city I was in when viewing my nuvi 2595.

MapUpdater V3.3.3 Now Works with CN NA 2014.40 Download

I thought I'd start a new thread for those that are still having issues with both MapUpdater and Garmin Express not working poperly for the 2014.40 map download. I prefer using MapUpdater and WebUpdater.

After numerous attempts in failed downloads of 2014.40 using MapUpdater V3.2.2 I downloaded the just released V3.3.3 and am happy to report the ability to download 2014.40 is now working.

Garmin Express Browsing Issue

Hi,
Im new to the site and could do with some help. Im trying to put the 2014 Full coverage European maps onto my PC to use with Basecamp, but when I get to the end of the process where I choose where to put the file, Express is showing G:\Garmin in light lettering in the selection box,and the browse button doesn't operate.

Garmin Express has an update to 2.4.5.0 - 6Feb2014

I downloaded and installed Garmin Express yesterday to be able to update to City Navigator 2014.40.

Just now I checked for an update and saw that yesterday's version (2.3.18.0) had an update available to 2.4.5.0.

The one difference I see in the Settings Options of this latest version is a new check box allowing for auto updates of Garmin Express.

Tracking or locating a stolen Garmin

Good Afternoon I hope I am not asking a question that has been asked before in another forum. I am new to POI Factory. I would like to know if there is any type of APP or software that I can put on my Garmin to locate or track a GPS if it is stolen. Please let me know.

Garmin built-in POI data

I have a Garmin dezl560 LMT. It's been updated (with the latest 2013, not 2014 yet) and uses the TruckDown data as well as Garmins Trucking POI category.

Just got a 3597LMTHD

Well, I went and bought a brand new Garmin 3597LMTHD and have had it for over a week now.

Bought it from Newegg for 299 USD w/no S&H charges. It did not come directly from Newegg. Probably could have found a better price, but I have dealt many times with Newegg before and have never had any problems.

City Navigator 2014.40 is out - installation issues

Well, 2014.40 is out as reported elsewhere. Here's some info:

GarminMapUpdater: The current Windows version remains 3.2.2 but it doesn't recognize that my nuvi 2460 is LMT so it offers to sell me a map update.

Ugh, I'm now updating with Garmin Express, which I had to install. It's now updating my 2460 and computer and we'll see what comes of it. I'll report back with results.

Installing 2014.40

Downloading now, to my 2597. Using Garmin Express, why is it downloading two versions? "Full Coverage of North America" and "nuMaps Lifetime North America". Maybe because the unit is less than 90 days and is getting the allowed Freebie and the Lifetime at the same time?

Tampa, FL - Garmin nüvi 660 (Software Ver 4.90), 2021.20 CN NA NT maps | Magellan Meridian Gold

poi's = where there once, but no longer

i'VE SEEN gps's where all restaurants, banks, etc show up as icons. It happened once on my Nuvi 1490L Mt... but then it went away within a few minutes....
How do I get these buggers on my gps? According to this website, you have to pick and choose.... not what i'M LOOking for. And I'm too old to try and figure this out.
Any help would be appreciated.
