Garmin talk

Formatted the Nuvi OS drive and need the replacement firmware files for a Nuvi 1300, any help would be greatly appreciated! Can someone copy them to a zip and send me a link?

Also the drive doesn't mount via usb on my computer and only get a splash screen on the garmin, do i need special firmware loading software to mount the drive again.

Duh! On my part. I cannot find the link to get Garmin Map Updater.

Would appreciate your help.

I had it saved in Firefox bookmarks, but Firefox won't work after latest Windows update.

I have used the loader and it tells me I have removed my installed POI's but they are still listed, any tips?

With some of the problems previously posted I tried uploading new maps to my C550 first. Launched express, found the unit and said update was available. Started downloading and stopped saying there was an error.

Anyone want to see something strange with the New NA 2014.2 maps, just type in "Kure" without the "" in the search window on the unit itself and look at the results. I think it's time for Garmin to look elsewhere for maps. Tell me what you think after doing this little experiment.

What is the difference between map updater and express?

Does either update software and maps?
Which is preferred if so?

Then there is Web Updater. Is that relevant any more?

if you just tried to upgrade maps and got hung up. get rid of express and download the new version, it worked for me.

I know this subject has been covered before, but the Prior ver Express didn't cause issues, though the latest seems to not play well with another driver.

The past few days I've been having issues with a driver for other hardware loading since I upgraded Express and downloaded new maps a couple days ago...

2 of my garmin model 755T's lost the traffic icon recently. Any one else have this issue? Could there be a file I'm missing on the system folder?

I have a couple friends with new Zumo 660s. Does the 660 use full-screen or split screen Junction Views and if full screen, do map updates to them receive the large JCV by default? If not, does the large jcv work well on the 660?

I think the 660 is a 4GB device so if useable, the large jcv would need to go on a SD card--the /garmin/jcv folder?

I never really thought about this before but stumbled across premium voices today. Some of the samples are pretty funny. Pigtones.com and other sites have these.

Has anyone installed any of these things, and if so, what was your experience? For example, I can't tell if using one of these causes you to lose the street names during navigation. It seems like it would but I can't be sure.

Hi All!
My second question:

I have a 4G SD-card in my navigator.
How could I use this card?
The navigator tell me that I only have 100M left at the navi but nothing about the SD card.
I should buy some more maps, USA and Malaysia and the speedcameras.
Where to put them so I can use them?

Thyanks in advance

Hi All!
I have a new Garmin Nüv 3597 and have some questions. Take them in separate threats:

1. I make tours to different countries and want to store each trip at the PC so I can save the trip until next time I should go.
Its little complicated save all tours in same folder.
I name the tour: Scotland 1, Scotland 2 etc. (where number is the day of tour).

Garmin Express is showing that 2014.20 is available for download.

While trying to send to GPS using Google Maps Garmin wants to update their communicator software.
Looks like Garmin has screwed up again, Firefox 23.0.1 & Garmin Communicator 4.0.4.0 install just keeps looping installing.

Tried it in IE 9 and it works OK.

Has anybody pulled the trigger on the new RV 760?

I am very interested in this unit and just wondered if anyone has picked one up and started putting it through it's paces.

This might be at the top of my Christmas List!

Just came across an article in Wired.com about this new Garmin product (excerpt below).

Garmin Goes After GoPro With 2 New Action Cameras
(By Christina Bonnington)
"Garmin is already well established in the GPS and navigation world. Now the company is moving into uncharted territory with two new action cameras.

I seem to remember reading somewhere in the promotional materials that the 2597 will learn the routes that I like to take? I know that during rush hour, the route it tells me to take is generally slower, not due to traffic (so the traffic receiver isn't helpful) but just because of the timing of the lights.

Here is a review of the new Garmin HUD and a not so great video of the unit in action.

I'll be sticking with my 2595LMT

I recently bought Nuvi 3597. It does stange routing some times. For example, My house on Crescent and it is on the second end of the Crescent. Some days Nuvi will direct me to take the first end of the Crescent and go all the way round to my house instead of asking me to turn on the next one.
