Question about Map download size and space left on internal memory
So before I went to install the latest map updates I only had 400mbs or so left on my internal memory, so I went out today to buy a 16gig microSD at Best Buy. It was a good deal at $9.99 but I didn't need it!
I thought the new map update is 2 gigs or so? What am I missing?

Garmin live traffic included on 2555lmt amusing quirk
I got the 2555lmt recently and spend most of my workday on the Northern fringe of traffic coverage for the Boston area. I would tap the traffic icon from time to time to see if it could receive any live traffic info. What was amusing was that when it did get a weak signal, if I browsed within traffic conditions it would give me 2 or 3 areas to avoid that were over a thousand miles away!

One team, over 1000 cars
I've seen a few people mention in these threads their belief that GPS receivers have become so inexpensive that "nobody bothers to steal them anymore". This imagined "fact" is often offered to explain why they don't take a few seconds to remove it from the windshield, or even why they do and then "cleverly hide it" rather than taking it with them.

Custom POIs location, sound for 3590 LMT
Yesterday, I just purchased the Garmin 3590LMT. Am having problems finding the custom POIs I installed using poiloader. Also, my sounds are not working. For years I installed POIs, using the .csv .bmp and .mp3 using the same file name, in my 765t. My new 3590 has to use .wav files. I have sox.exe in the same directory as my poiloader.exe program.

No EZPass-Only slip ramps on Garmin maps
The Pennsylvania Turnpike has put in a few slip ramps on and off the turnpike that are only for EZPASS users. They can be a great time saver. The trouble is that no Garmin map has the ramps or the option to use them. There has always been an Avoid Toll Road feature, what is needed is a Use Transponder-Only Ramps option.

Nuvi 52LM and sound
I guess this is a simple question, but I would like to know for sure before I carry on trying to put custom sounds on my Nuvi 52. Does anyone know for sure that MP3 files in the POI folder work on this model? Thanks.

Audio Mixer on Nuvi 2597
The Audio Mixer is accessed from the Master Volume screen by selecting the wrench in the upper left corner of the screen. I had expected this to change the treble or bass of the speaker, but if the Navigation bar is moved from its far right position it does nothing but reduce the volume. Has anyone experienced anything different? Or is this just another Garmin non-feature feature.

Garmin update
If you just updated and got a lot of garbage, you might want to do a hard boot, Caution it will wipe out everything, but you have a new GPS. Then reinstall the maps and you are good to go. My email is prjones520@gmail.com. If I can help you please contact.

Using Photo Navigation
This really sounded interesting. What happened to it? Did anyone get a chance to use it?
Transfer "favorites" from 765t to 3590LMT
I want to copy my favorites from my 765t, to my 3590LMT GPS. Doing it the conventional way, by copying it from the old unit to the new unit, and renaming it from current.gpx to temp.gpx did not work. Also, not renaming it did not work either. At any rate, my favorites do not show on the new GPS. Anybody know what I need to do? Thanky!
Unless you are the lead sled dog, the view never changes. I is retard... every day is Saturday! I still use the Garmin 3590 LMT even tho I upgraded to the Garmin 61 LMT. Bigger screen is not always better in my opinion.
