Garmin talk

Just FYI, I tried to pair the Bluetooth contained in my 3597LMTHD with my new iPhone 5s. I kept getting a pairing error. I raised the issue with Garmin, and they reported that their units are not compatible with either the iPhone 5 or 5s.

I have had Trader Joes as one of my Favorite Files for years....

Tonight I see an upgrade, but it's GPX only No CSU.

??

to let the sound work on your Garmin go to the folder option and uncheck hide the extension for known file type to not duplicate the names of your POIs and give them the same names ,,ie

Speed_Cameras_NZ.csv
Speed_Cameras_NZ.bmp
Speed_Cameras_NZ.wav

is this site only for usa and candian gps guys ?

where can I upload CSV file for the speed cameras in New Zealand to my Garmin 2595LMT in this site ? thanks

Has anyone attempted to install / retrofit an aftermarket Garmin Nuvi GPS in a 2011+ Toyota Sienna while maintaining all built-in functions such as radio, climate controls, etc? This avoids the costly factory navigation system. I'm wondering if this is possible. It has been done in other vehicles.

Just wondering if the ol' Nuvi 350 is upgradable at all to the latest map (2014.20 NA).. It has 1.87 GB internal storage as well as the SD Card slot.

My sister had this ol' 350 laying around the house forgotten, but while cleaning the garage, she discovered it and wanted to know if it is even worthwhile to upgrade to the latest map available...

Thanks.

We had some family friends drop in for the weekend and we started discussing their trip and what type of GPS he used. It was a 1390 LMT and he wasn't really a big fan of it (late turn directions). We compared it to my 1450LMT and that's when I found that his unit could not find any addresses or POI's and would report "map data unavailable" Map info also showed no maps onboard. Hmmm?

I recently bought a 2555 LM. After a week of driving, I noticed that it was no longer announcing "recalculating" when I didn't follow the proposed route.

Did Garmin drop the annoying RECALCULATING?

Our Mapsource 7 install will not see our Nuvi 2757. This is very "INCONVIENT". Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi there, i was informed today that it is a possibilty to connect a reverse camera to some garmin gps with this: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/other/bc...

My nuvi 3597 was not on the list with the models that works with the BC20, but now i am curious if there is any other way to connect a camera to a nuvi like mine?

Hi,

New owner of Nuvi 50LM here as of 9-24-2013 and am seeking some assistance with the JCV file. New 50LM came with 2013.10 map and when I hooked it up to PC, via Garmin Express, it detected a newer map and downloaded it along with other software updates..

I created some Garmin BaseCamp tutorials for a couple of forums which I read. The POI Factory has given me much information and I want to " pay it forward" to ones that are wanting to get over the learning curve for Garmin BaseCamp.

Experience users will find the Yourtube tutorials boring, but may be able to pick up a tip or two.

Hi

I am currently using MS Streets and Trips live (gps antenna) on my laptop and pumping it up to the dash. The one feature I can’t live without is a the ability to see down the road and recognize via the displayed icon an upcoming truck stop, campground, rest area, etc.

I have noticed that traffic pop up on Garmin 3597 is not very consistent. Some times it pops up and many times it does not. Does anyone has issue? I will appreciate your feed back.

Changelog:

Changes made from version 7.90 to 8.10:

Fixed several map display errors.
Fixed an error that could cause route calculation to fail after stopping a long trip.

I occasionally run across routing errors generated by Garmin, and wonder where to report these. For example, Eastbound from North Shore in Pittsburgh on I-279 (Ft Duquesne Bridge) towards Monroeville on I279, Garmin guideance and Junction View guides you to exit left at Grant Street, rather than continue straight to 279.

I was wondering if you put address and coordinates in from the computer without using Google map or Bing. If you could copy and paste or drag from say a file like you do pictures am planning on a very long trip and cannot get the route to take from Google.

Lately my Nuvi 765t is taking forever to access the route. It gets to 99% and just stays there. Sometimes, it gets to 100% and then starts recalculating and again getting hung up at 995. Sometimes, I get to my destination before it gets the directions. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, what did you do to correct it. Thanks.
