Nuvi 2595LM Not Calculating a Complete Route from 6 POIs over 1,900 Miles
I have a fairly new Nuvi 2595LM with less than 12 waypoints starting in the northwest and ending in Oklahoma City. The unit cannot finish calculating the route, it gets to 67% and times out with a message that says that I must drive part of the route and it will then be able to finish.

Nuvi 2595LM Not Accepting POI Uploads
Ok, another newbie question/problem. I have been reading and studying the FAQ's tutorials, etc. and have gotten familiar with my unit's file system and structure. I have installed and tried to use GPSbabel, Extra POI Editor, POI Edit 2007 and POI Loader. I have also tried to create a small POI file is CSV format to load into the 2575. This file has 8 properly formatted POIs in it.

Garmin 25xxLMT input delay
Recently purchased a 2595LMT from Costco (on sale), disappointed that Garmin discontinued "Garmin Lock" on their devices, but nothing I can do about that. Anyway, when I press the address icon for input, the unit pauses for about 5 to 8 seconds before going to the input page. Does anyone else have this problem?, or maybe I have a bad unit.
Thanks

Questions about OpenStreetMap and nuvi 250
Having a problem getting the 3.5 gig free OSM map to run on my nuvi 250. I have installed other maps on microSD cards in the past and they work, but if I did any special magic at the time I forget it now. I downloaded the OSM USA map and transferred it to an 8 gig microSD card, putting it in a "garmin" directory on the card.

3597LMTHD Stuck in Demo Mode
My recently purchased 3597 was stuck in demo mode. None of the things I tried (driving more than 10 mph for more than 30 seconds; trying to turn off GPS Simulator-it wouldn't uncheck) worked. The unit would re-boot and always come back up in Demo Mode without ever attempting to acquire satellites.

Photo with Favorites listings?
Good morning!
My 255w allowed me to attach a photo to each of my favorites, and the photo showed to the left of the favorite in the favorites listings. This was a fun way to look through the favorites.
My 2460lmt doesn't seem to have this capability. Or does it?

Garmin Voice-Activated Feature
My wife, who has a Garmin Nuvi 500, told me this morning that she might like to move up to a Garmin Nuvi with the Voice-Activated Feature. I have really never paid much attention to that feature in the past. Anyway, for those that have this feature, is it worthwhile and do you end up using it much or is it one of those features that really sounds cool, but you rarely use?

Garmin vs. Rand McNally
Shopping for a new GPS unit. Want the 7" screen with Lifetime Maps and Traffic. Also want to be able to download POI files from this site. I know the Garmin will download - does the RVND 7720 take downloads also?
If you were buying -- which unit would be top choice?
Thanks !!

Taking my 2460 to the midwest and looking for help :-)
We are getting ready for a trip to Kansas and Missouri, we're flying, but will be driving all around once we are there.
Bringing my nuvi 2460 and would love to hear any suggestions you have as far as using it with Mapsource or Basecamp for planning purposes.
Is routing even possible on my 2460?
Thanks!!!

Hints & Tips Garmin Nuvi 3597
Hello to all the people that have the new Garmin Nuvi 3597. Have you all learned anything new about this device that isn't in the manual.
- Is there a way to change the font size on the unit. A font size of 8 or less would be nice. This way I would be able to see whole name of the POI.

Nuvi 2595 GPX Loading Problem
Hello, I am a newbie to this forum and have a problem that I need help with. I have created a collection in Basecamp that I loaded onto my 2595 and now it just hangs when powering on and loading the North American Map. I fear that I hade too much content in the collection as I had brought all of the KOA and Good Sam RV Sites as well as the generic US & Canada campgrounds into Basecamp.

Traffic provider wrong (after Garmin Express update)
Somehow,my Garmin Nuvi 265WT downloaded the wrong traffic provider software on a previous update through the Garmin Express updater.I now have the Michelin French software in my unit instead of the US provider Is there any way to get rid of the French software and download the proper US version ?
Garmin tech support is useless.
Thanks

I have a Garmin nuvi 1490.
I have a Garmin nuvi 1490. I can't charge it in the car. It indicates battery low and it shuts off. Best Buy said it can't help. They said it could be the cord or the plug hole in the back.
It is still new, what do I do.
