Garmin talk

Can anyone tell me what the icons are that pop up in the text bar when you approach a speed or red light camera. Why do they remain there even after passing the camera. Can you get rid of them. I have a nuve 3597

Hello,
I loaded the Redbox locations custom poi (csv) to my nuvi 40. When I use my gps and select Where To?/Extras/Custom POIs on the gps I do not get a folder that specifies the Redbox pois. Is that possible to have that option?

p.s I did search the forum but did not find my question.

Thank you,
Compassrose

I live near Apple Valley MN. A new road section of Flagstaff Avenue, that formerly ended at 147th St W, now continue to 140th St W. Approximately how long will it be until it shows up on City Navigator maps?

My neighborhood has a restaurant, a coffee shop, a pizza place, a chinese takeout place, a liquor store, gas, grocery, and 2 banks. When driving around my neighborhood my Garmin chooses to only show 2 icons on the map, and they are both the $ sign icon indicating a bank or ATM. Why is that?

About to buy my first gps. You have talked me out of the 3590. Now considering the 2597, 3597, or 2460. Thoughts? Thanks for your input.

Is there a primer on the various Garmin Map files? I wasn't sure if I was getting everything in my latest update on my Nuvi 755T since I have junctions, 3d buildings and all that.

Thanks!

Hello, if you're reading this and know how please help...this is an emergency.

I was trying to format a 2gb micro sd card and instead formatted the internal memory of the gps Nuvi 1350. Now it starts and freezes on "Garmin."

Please help me if you can. I'm not worried about the map for now, I just need it to start. Please help.

Thanks in advance!

Does POI Factory red camera poi include NYC area?

Wasn't there a series of nuvis that showed the name of the cross street coming up instead of the street you are driving on? Question #2, what do you owners of the 2595LMT and the 2797LMT think of those GPSr?

I've got 2 gps unit (both Zumo 550's). I have 2 separate lifetime map updates (North America), 1 for each. I have downloaded 2014.10 update to my PC (using MyMaps site on the Garmin web site for one of the units), used MapInstall to load the news maps to that unit.

Garmin Battery Issue

Nuvi 2660LMT
Out of Warranty

Good Morn'en,
I recently upgraded from a 3790 to 3490LMT and cant get it to load up my POI's. The computer is not finding the device. Does anybody know what the problem might be and have a solution.
Many thanx in advance.

Looks like a new map update is available or has been....instead of fooling with express, since last time garmin told me not to use it as it is often problematic, I simply went to mapupdater and it will probably work the first time.

Nothing like waiting 2 hours to see something fail, then try again for another 2 hours for the same thing (at least that was my experience with express)

When I fired up BaseCamp today an update was downloaded to my computer. I installed it and am playing with a new feature (Trip Planner). At least I think it is new. Not sure what benefit it will be to my Nuvi 50, but interesting none the less.

I’m one of those who had problems updating the map and spent several hours with Garmin’s help desk on 3 July 203 with zero progress.

Finally found the solution to my problem by using a SD 8GB card and following instructions in the two notes below after I BACKED UP my device with GarMim Express.

I'm about to buy my first gps. I know I'll get a garmin nuvi, but don't know which model. Seems from reading this forum that people don't believe the traffic is accurate. Is that true? If so, I'll spend less and get an older model with "fm traffic" instead of "HD" traffic. Thoughts? Model reccomendations? Thanks

For those, who are updating Europe maps. Below link to map size comparing to 2013 if you have little space on your device.

Garmin's latest trail GPS uses the Android OS and supports downloading 3rd party apps from the Android store.

At 2.9" X 5.9" by 1.4", that is one BIG handheld device to carry on the trails!

It's an intriguing move, and we can only hope to see something like that in the mobile camp eventualy.

nuvi2555 has custom POIs that were in when I got it new like MT and FC files and that is overseas like to remove them if I can

twice now coming from Indiana to Chicagoland on 90/94 at the 394 turn toward Chicagoland, the new maps in a route to my home north of Chicagoland has prompted to go South on 394, not North.

The Map routs shows correctly north, but audio prompts says take 394 south, not north.
