Garmin talk

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

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.

Starting this forum topic for members to post any tips or details on how to start a feature on these series Nuvis.Or any question you may have to other users.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Just got the Garmin Nuvi 2597.Maybe someone can answer this question for me. I am running Windows 8 and when I connect the 2597 to the computer I don't get the icon on lower right of screen for the safe dis-connect.

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.

I know that there has been quite a bit of discussion in the past about suction cup mounts, bean bag mounts, and more recently the air vent mount.

Will the 2014 maps fit on my Nuvi 660?

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.

I just received my 3490lmt and have a question. Are the POI icons suppposed to display on the map? Thanks.

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?

Hey guys,

I recently got a new 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. And it has the UConnect 430N. Does anyone know how to upload POIs into this nav system? All I know is that it has the Garmin software. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Just returned from New Orleans...took the 1490...other than showing me driving in the weeds half a dozen times and sending me on some r3tarded routes...it was okay...except in NOLA proper...simply would not catch a signal...recalculating over and over when it did...firmware is up to date ... Happened in no other city...maps are 2011.something but that shouldn't matter.

I ran all my POI Files thru the POI Loader and when I checked my Customized POI's on my Garmin nuvi 2555LMT Device, only about half of them were listed BUT when I checked my SD Card (I store my POI Files there) all Poi Files were listed on the SD card BUT I can';r see them on my Device, Kan anyone Shed Sum Lite, Thanx..(and to think, I went to College for 4 Years, just to Learn how to Spell)

I have a garmin nuvi 500 satnav but it has frozen has it got a reset button?help

Why some people have owned more than one:

Does anyone else visit the dog-shaming website often? I'm one. Here's one of today's offerings. Is that a 5" nuvi? I bet it had lifetime maps too.

can't find it on the nuvi 260w?

Where do I look on the nuvi? I've poked and looked at what I thought were obvious places...no joy.

I need help!
