Is there any benefit to installing a memory card in the 2595? BTW, My 2595 has been working flawlessly (from my other post) since then. Imported my csv files using the software, with separate subfolders. All is well. Just the ? about the card.

Thanks

By accident I just formatted my nuvi 765 device. I have no backup (doh!) or files on the SD card that can help me. Is there any way I can recover/reinstall the OS?

Thanks in advance.

I have downloaded the HD.bmp,and added it to my poi folder.why does the bmp icon show on my garmin550.

If you are trying to use Garmin Express to update your device and it says no room no matter what coverage you select, don't use Garmin Express. Download and use Garmin Map Updater (the old way).

Is there an ideal setting when installing red light cameras? For example, should I use the express setting (in garmin poi loader) or should I set the feet alerts myself, and if I do set it myself, what settings feet number should I use? Thanks, anyone?

Hello, Is it possible to load POI's using POI Loader on the model 2595 ? Have a feeling it's not possible. Anybody know of a work around possibly? Is there a list somewhere that has all the models (especially the new ones) that POI Loader works with?

Thanks

From a rental car company...
186 serial number range...
Battery life is 20 or so min I've been told... Has DC adapter and suction mount.. No FM Receiver, but she didn't want that.
Price was reasonable $67.
I got the serial number from fellow, and called Garmin. That has never been registered before..

Each time I try to import a .gpx file into Garmin Basecamp I get a failure notice. Does anyone understand what I might be doing wrong? I've tried a file that works in GoogleEarth.

This has bugged me for some time now. I live in an area of North Carolina where there are several bodies of water. For some reason, Navteq data does not have (detailed) information of the major river that flows through town. It just has a line with odd angles in it that is not representative at all of how the river actually is.

See article.

This latest update is available for the 3xx7 series.

A Nuvi 50, about 6 months old just lost its screen calibration. Some buttons worked fine, others only worked if you pressed above their position on the screen, others couldn't be pressed at all.

Fortunately it was easy to fix by the screen calibration process (no thanks to Garmin for not including the steps needed in their documentation).

I am currently running my old 855 and my 3790LMT in my car at the same time. For example if I want to go in the downtown direction (15 miles), the 855 correctly has me turning right (West) at the next major road toward where I want to go.

I have a Nuvi 2797, I have uploaded the poi file(Starbucks) and notice that the prox alarm(wav) does not work. Any ideas? Thanks.

which is better to get (price, features)

Hello,
Well I have been successful in getting POI files (specifically Redbox locations) to work along with my custom .bmp to show up. Maybe, I should say too successful. In my many attempts at getting it right I now have 3 "folders" that contain the same POIs.

Here is my screen navigation:

-Extras
-Custom POIs

I've tried 3 Garmin Nuvi 3597's since they first went on sale and they all seem to take forever to re-calculate a route; 10-20 seconds for a local route and over 1 minute for a multi state route. This is especially bad when you traveling on vacation and you are waiting over 1 minute on the shoulder.

New firmware update version 3.30 for the Nuvi 2597 and others.

I recently programmed my 2460 for a trip. This trip was about 3 hours travel time (Kingston Ontario). When I selected the route from my favourites list it literally took 2 hours to calculate it. I have the latest maps and software. I have erased my trip logs (blue tracking line), but it still took way too long. I just started heading in the direction I needed to go.

Just bought a nice Garmin c580 with City Navigator North America NT 2008.

I'm looking to see if updating the map makes sense, but when I go to the Garmin automotive map website all I see ifs a mostly blank page:
