Garmin talk

I guess it is no secret that I am no longer a Garmin user so I was unable to answer this question from a friend...yes, I told him to sign up for poi-factory and jump on in but...

When viewing the overhead view, does anyone know the method to rotate the map versus just zoom. Pinch to zoom seems to work, but the standard touchscreen method of rotating doesn't work. Instead every once in a while it senses my touch as a rotate.

Does anyone have a complete list of Hess Gas stations on the East coast?

I have done several searches and have not found the info I am looking for. I have a Zumo 660 that came with my 2013 Can-am Spyder. On it has a Spyder dealer list. It has its' own icon and is a menu item under "Where To?". The problem with this list is it is grossly out of date. From what I can tell it is from 2009.

I have the Garmin Nuvi 2497LMT and an iPhone 4. I installed the Smart Link app on my iPhone which syncs to my Nuvi and works with the free features. Is it worth paying $19.99 for the Live Traffic feature?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I have downloaded the Combine Rest Areas through POI Loader to my Garmin nuvi 50LM. I can access them by navigating to Extras, Custom POIs, but they do not show up on my map. I also downloaded a custom icon and sound file, giving them the same name as the POI file, and they don't work either. I have tried removing and reinstalling, and have tinkered with it until...well, until I give up.

I have a Garmin that also show traffic and speed limit,but I notice that on some area if the speed limit on the road drop from 35 mph to 25 mph,the Gps it still show me that the speed limit at the specific area( is still 35mph instead of 25mph.( and this is about 1 mile speed limit 25 road )

I have two Garmins, 750 and 760. Lately, the location has been off about half the time by as much as 3,000 ft, while the satellite signal screen claims less than 30 ft accuracy.

I got the coordinates and the location as shown on the map. The map matches the coordinates, but way off from where I actually was. So the problem is the coordinates. Not the map.

Do any of the car manufacturers install a Garmin Nav unit that is actually able to be updated with LM and POIs just like a portable unit?

anyone going to the www.garmin.com get to fill out this survey??

My 2597 is my first model with traffic and if my question is covered in the manual I can't find it. Does it make any difference in reception depending on how much of the power cable you have stretched out? I only need about half of the power cable and have the other half of the cable still wrapped around the base of the GPS.

How do I add speed camera data to an older Garmin manually?

Anyone here have any experience using the 2597's bluetooth's function with a cell phone? I understand the advantage is that if you look up a restaurant you can click on the number and call it without typing it into your phone. Does it also act as a handsfree system?

My state DOT operates traffic cameras (safety only) mainly along interstate, but some other major, highways and in response to asking, I have been provided their website which contains the coordinates for each of the hundreds of cameras across the state. It took some work but I formatted the data for a POIs I plan to upload to this site.

How does Garmin update their attractions? I searched near my workplace for places to eat, and found several that have been closed for years. Is there a way to get rid of the closed, and post the new open places?
Thanks!

Is there a way to adjust the line accuracy of these units? When I'm traveling on the highway it seems the unit sometimes doesn't show me in the right lanes. ie. express lanes, vs commuter lanes... drives me nuts!

Hi guys I was playing about with my nuvi 265w last night and like a fool I hit cut instead of copy...

I was trying to copy the contents of the internal memory to use as a back up.

When I realised my mistake I went to copy them all back but even though it appeared empty it said it was full?

I then formatted the drive (fat32) and put them all back on again.

I purchased maps for Europe for my Nuvi 350 in 2009 and the maps were delivered on a stnd SD card. Now I have a Nuvi 2460 LMT which has a micro SD slot. Can I just copy files from the stnd Sd card to my Mac and then onto a blank micro SD card and expect the maps to work on the Nuvi 2460 LMT?

I want to sell or give away my Garmin C530, but want to clear all user data from it first. So far, I've been able to clear Favorites and Recent places. All good.

I want to clear the password and secret place. Do I need to be at that place to do it, and can I completely clear that data as well?

In two weeks we are making a trip to the southern states. Does anybody know a wifi finder app for the states for my android phone?
Thanks.
