Found Nuvi 610-660_OM_EN on Garmin -- Can it be safely deleted?
Found this file on the root directory of Garmin 660... It appears to be a .pdf file.... Can this be safely deleted to save space? 1.42Mb in size.
It appears to be an owner's manual.
Thanks...

Thank you.

Garmin Trip Planner: Mediocre Planner, but Good Trip Organizer
I have been learning the various features of my new 2555LMT and I first thought Trip Planner was of little use, when you could load multiple Via Points, using Where To.

zumo 665 Firmware update v2.90
FYI,
Last night Garmin Express uploaded and installed a firmware update to v2.90 ON my zumo 665. I was attempting to find on the Garmin site the details of the update TO READ AND POST ... but ... for the life of me, I can't find where Garmin is hiding it on their site.

Can't see schools in POI on Street Pilot c550
Hi, I can't see schools southeast in my POI on my C550. I see the red light cameras and when I look at the file when hooked up to the computer I can see the file on the Garmin. What am I doing wrong? Can I get a step by step format to download the school file and upload it to my Garmin?
Thanks in advance.

Garmin Monterra And Virb Coming This Year?
Interesting.
http://gpstracklog.com/2013/04/garmin-monterra-virb.html/com...
UPDATE: There is an Amazon page for the Monterra that lists it as a 4″ unit with WiFi, 1080p video, and an Android OS with the ability to use Android apps — opening the door to app developers creating ”new outdoor-centric apps.” The MSRP is shown as $699.99.

Is it Time for Garmin to include UTM data input?
No I'm not seeking to be trendy. There is however an increasing use of the UTM system for mapping material, particularly off road, & non conventional street & road locations . The online conversion sites have proven to be frustrating to use, often with bogus results. So I ask:
Is it time for Garmin to include UTM data input on both it's Nuvi & hiking GPS units?

Chrysler 430N
I went to load POI's onto my Ram 2500's radio, which is the 430N. This is not a Garmin GPS, but, it does use Garmin's software. Custom POI's are supported, but, the instructions on how to do so are a bit lacking, specifically with regards to naming & POI file selection. So I'm writing this.
{moved to FAQ page, link below}
I have installed eight custom POI files this way.

Which Garmin stand alone GPS is most like Jeep's UConnect navigation system?
Does anyone have any idea as to the comparable Garmin unit to the UConnect 8.4AN unit that is an option in 2014 Jeeps?
I've read some things about the UConnect system and it appears that some owners are having problems loading custom poi, getting alert sounds to play, and updating maps, etc., from NavTech.

Map Symbols
This is a pet peeve of mine. My 3790 has quite a few decent map symbols. My 3590 ones are crappy. So...what can I do about that? As far as Garmin is concerned....nothing.
Mapsource is a garmin product. If one loads favorites into it, one can highlight each entry and change the map symbol,

HELP, Garmin Nuvi 2595 LMT, Do you like it? Pros and Cons
Ok Best buy has this on sale for $129.00 and I was thinking that it would be a nice upgrade from my Street Pilot C550. I am so confused as there are a lot of different model Garmin GPS units. Is this a unit that Garmin is not going to support anymore? What are all the differences between all the models?
Is the Garmin Nuvi 3590 LMT much better and is it worth the extra for $399.00

POI Icons Do Not Display -- Help Please
I downloaded several poi custom icons from the icon library on this site. I made sure the file names match the poi csv file name, except for extension. I followed the steps given here: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/4359
But my nuvi 2460 displays only the default gray dot. This is the case in all views. How do I get the custom icons to display?
New Garmin?
Looking to buy my daughter a Garmin. Please recommend a good one for the least amount of money.
Thanks
