Was using the program the other day no issues was able to do everything fine

Nuvi 2595 LMT not quite connecting to PC

Dear ol' Dad just picked up a new 2595 from Costco and brought it over for me to do all of the updates, etc. for it. First thing I noticed was that it was set up in a different language, and I don't think it was even a Latin-based one. Lots of "fun" getting it set back to English.

Read maps from SD Card Nuvi 660

I've successfully loaded maps on an SD card. How do I get the Nuvi to read the maps from the SD Card instead of the partial map from the internal memory?

GPX POI files.... How do I find them on my GPS???

I just downloaded all the H-D Dealerships from this forum:
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/1995

I downloaded the software needed to transfer to my Garmin 660 GPS. On my computer I can see that they are loaded in my Garmin GPS, but when I turn on my GPS, where do I go to see them? How do I search for the hundreds of dealerships that were loaded?

885 map

I have a 660 and a 885 garmin. on my 660 when I have the gps on and not navigating it always tells me what street i'm coming up to, can I get my 885 to do this?

garmin 2455 gpx file folder

I want to replace a gpx folder in my nuvi with an updated gpx folder. when I open the gpx file folder stored on my nuvi it currently has an archive folder, lpt file, current 1 gpx folder, and a current gpx file. do I have to delete any of the files or folders I've listed before I install the new ones with poi loader? it's been quite some time since I've done this and don't want to mess it up.

My POI all list Illinois and I am in St. Louis, Mo. Is there a fix for this?

I recently downloaded updated maps on my Garmin Nuvi 750. After I did this the Garmin kept showing Illinois as my location, even though I'm in St. Louis, Mo. I changed the location to St. Louis manually, but all my POI's are in Illilnois. Can anyone tell me if there is a fix for this?

Thanks in advance

POI Japan

I can not get my GPSmap 62stc to recognize POI's in Japan from the EXTRAS file. I have manually entered them in and also have loaded the POI file "Japan(GPX)" from POI Factory using the POI loader. In neither case will they show up in the EXTRA file. When I manually entered them they were intermingled with other POI points and entered as a CSV file.

HD Traffic in Toronto

I noticed this weekend while using my 2757 with a GTM 60 traffic anttena in Toronto, I am getting detailed traffic alerts. These are different to the ones I got with my 2460. For instance "Samantha" did say "broken down car reported ahead". I also get alerted to construcion zones ahead with a delay time. I think we are getting HD traffic in the GTA.

Nüvi 3597, too low volume! - TTSVoiceEditor fails!

Hi there

I wonder if anyone can help me?
I just bought the new Nüvi 3597 which seems very impressing so far. But the thing is that I drive around in a very noisy open sportscar and simply just want to turn up the volume of my new Garmin 3597 which max volume is far too low and unfortunately not equipped with an external speaker slot (God knows why..!!)

How to get icons

I noticed that as I'm driving on my 2597, there are icons that show gas, food, etc. On some of these, there are custom logos so I know what brand of gas, what restaurant, etc. is the one near me. Is there a way to get more logos and apply them to these POIs? Obviously an exhaustive logo pack would be too big, but even if I can get just a few for my favorite places to eat would be good!

is there any hack availible for Nuvi 200W?

hello all
I just still have this question.
I have Nuvi 200W with main board S4 with firmware 7.60 map version 2014.10.
I want to know if there is any hack for nuvi 200W to enable junction view, highway mode, lane guide and TTS functions, or even just TTS which speaks street names will be great. But if I install 205W firmware will I brick my nuvi?
Please let me know.

Thanks

2555LMT connected to PC

I just purchased a new nuvi 2555lmt. When I hook it up to my PC using the micro usb the PC sees it as a portable device but does not assign drive letters.
I can access the garmin drive as I could the C:/ drive.
But Mapsource or POI Loader won't find the drive because of no drive letter assigned.

Using Nuvi 3597 while plugged in PC

Hello,
How can I use my Nuvi 3597 while it is plugged in my PC?
It goes in data mode as soon as I plug it in and I didn't find a way to get it back to normal mode.
Device eject ( under Windows)doesn't work, I tried it.
There must be a way!
Thanks

MODERATOR NOTE:
Here's what to do if POI Loader doesn't find your 3597
- on the GPS main menu screen, touch volume

numaps vs. other map options

thought I asked this question before but can't seem to find searching it so here goes:

If I stand correct numaps North American and the other map update are the exact same thing? I just downloaded 2014.10 (older version)and now it prompts for me to download nuMaps...

Thanks

p.s. I also cannot see any vehicles listed under extra in express..

How big is this map update???

So I just purchased a nuvi 2597 and I am downloading the maps now. I have a 11 Mbps connection, and it says it's going to take an hour!!!???

How big are the maps now? The last unit I had (855T) didn't take nearly this long to update!

Traffic worked, I think

I have three Garmins, all old. I was using my 765t on a trip to Florida from South Carolina on Saturday and had the traffic work for the first time. We hit 2 bad spots on I-95. The first time the nuvi had no warning but we got off and re-routed. I am not sure it helped but at least we were moving.
