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?

I need a non-geek to explain in simple language how to transfer favorites
Once I attach my c550 to my PC..... none of the answers regarding transferring favorites are relevant to the information on my screen i.e. none of the Garmin files available respond to the information given. I have been at this for 6 months and so far no help. I just keep re-entering data manually on the new unit...I have about 900 address to go.

Poi Loader for Mac...any other users here?
When I load poi that I've d'loaded from the Factory, using Poi Loader for Mac, on the "Express" setting, I get nothing in terms of sound alerts on my nuvi 260w. When I check to see if the alerts are registered by going to custom poi and touching the first entry in a category, no alert shows on the screen.

It will do this at least seven or eight times both attached to the car charger or with battery then at least up to now will start up again and continue to work. This has happened several times. Any ideas as to cause?

UConnect system users?
Chrysler offers a multimedia system in passenger cars and SUV's such as Jeep Grand Cherokee. Within some of the UConnect systems is a Garmin GPS unit.
Are there any UConnect users "out there" with suggestions, questions, concerns? I've read several posts here at the Factory, and would like to get more info for myself as well as create a place to exchange information about this GPS unit.

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.
Retired Street Pilot C550, Garmin Drive 50 USA+CAN LMT 5, I phone 12 pro.
