Updating From Computer
Last year I found a post that outlined a procedure to update to the computer then move the file to the gps. I didn't write down the post and the info, now I want to update to the latest version.
Can someone post the procedure?? Thanks,

3597LMTHD Waypoint Symbols not handled in BASECAMP or GARMIN EXPRESS
Basecamp (and Mapsource) has nice Waypoint/POI symbols and the symbols were compatible. The new 3597LMTHD has a new symbol set which is not nearly as nice...but that's not the problem.

CN vs OSM
I have CN on my nuvi and OSM on my SD card on my 855. Under Tools/Settings/Map/Map Info, both are checked. How does the nuvi handle both files? I've noticed that with both checked, it seems to favour the CN map.

2595LMT MicroSD
I just got the 2595 today, all is well so far. I have installed a MicroSD stick, which the the computer sees after plugging in the GPS but not under the Garmin directory tree. The GPS won't show it when unplugged and running. Basic question though...is the SD only for maps or might I be able to use it for Audible books and MP3s like I did on the 660? Thanks. martin

Uphill or Downhill
Nuvi 1350
I noticed that the ECO feature is a little strange as follows....
When doing a steady speed, it seems to show 'green'
when you let up on the gas (going downhill) it does not always show an eco desirable advantage (increase mpg) and when going uphill at a constant speed it does not show a less-desirable mpg.

Walking not on streets with a 3790LMT
Last Saturday I attended a rocket launch. The friend who invited me launched a quite substantial craft, which on the second launch reached a maximum speed of 583 mph, and height of 8563 feet AGL, as transmitted by an onboard GPS module which also gave the location of ground impact.

Changing a favorite icon
Hello, I bought the 2797 LMT over the weekend. I added my work address as a favorite, so I can easily route to the office every day and get the traffic updates. When I added it, it automatically showed up as a heart-shaped icon. Since a "heart" is not something I necessarily associate with work, can anyone tell me if there is a way to change this?

3597LMTHD And Smartlink
I recently received my nüvi 3597LMTHD, and I installed Smartlink for the iPhone 5. I paired the devices, and Smartlink asked if I wanted to buy Live Traffic for $19.99. Any idea why I would buy Live Traffic via Smartlink when the 3597 already provides HD traffic? Is there any difference between the Smartlink version and the version that comes preinstalled on the unit?
Thanks.

Garmin 3597LMTHD - all waypoint sysbols do not stay on display as previous 755
On my old Garmin 755T, all waypoint symbols could be viewed all the time (with the appropriate zoom, of course). I liked this.
Problem: My new 3597LMTHD will only display the symbols when I approach the waypoint. I want to see them to the side, behind me etc as on the 755.
This is for waypoints manually added to the device or loaded from GARMIN EXPRESS.

Garmin Nuvi40 Lost on The GW bridge
This week coming and going on the George Washing Bridge and each time my Nuvi40 seemed to go brain dead. Coming back,instead of sending me to 95 north it took me off the path and to a roundabout route telling me to stay to the left. I decided to follow the signs and go right instead of listening to Sam. Most of the trip my device worked well except for this one glitch.

Garmin 550c (how to secure the mount to the boat?)
I just purchased a mount for the Garmin550C fishfinder but can't figure out how to secure the mount to the boat. There are three screwholes on\in the base but the base is in two parts and I can't get them separated. That is if they do come apart. Otherwise, how is it screwed\secured to the boat.

Can I Export routes from BaseCamp to my Nuvi 260w?
I've done some searching on the web and in gps forums, but can't find a definitive answer whether or not I can import to my nuvi 260w routes created in BaseCamp. (I originally built a route in BC, exported it to my nuvi, received the message that it was a successful export, but can't find it on the nuvi.)
Does anyone have information to add to, or resolve, my quandary?
Use 1450LMT With No Maps On Internal Storage
I just got a micro sd card for my Garmin 1450LMT. I am going to put the 2014.10 map on it when it comes out here. I read that if no maps are found on the internal storage, newer models will check the SD card, but older models will brick, requiring servise by Garmin.
