upgrade GPS

It's time to upgrade my nuvi 660 to a new unit. I like the 2460, but most of the units online are refurbished. Is there a problem with this unit? Are refurbished unit good as new, or better. Any other units that might be better?
Thanks

Vehicles

I just replaced a Nuvi 660 with a Nuvi 1450 and love the vehicles you can download and install. I'm a big fan of the X-Wing Fighter! Such a cool idea.

Can anybody tell me how I can insert a quote in a post?
Thank you.

Traffic alerts on the 3590

On a recent round trip between New Hampshire and Florida, I noted many locations for which my receiver was out of range. Unfortunately, in some of these locations there were serious backups. Garmin offers an optional subscription for TTN support for the GTM60 receivers.

2013.30 NA

The new City navigator North America NT 2013.30 is on. I just download it.

Galaxy Note 2 Smartphone Link

Had any success pairing a Galaxy Note 2 Smartphone Link with Nuvi 3790? My Note 2 bluetooth paired but both device not talking to each others.

Garmin Nuvi350 power from car problems

I'm having trouble getting power from my car's cigarette lighter receptacle. If I can't power my Nuvi350 via the car, the Nuvi350 won't be much help on long trips.

Like always, the red light on my Garmin Nuvi350 auto power cord lights up when I insert the plug into the car, but my Nuvi350 no longer is getting recharged via the auto power cord.

does nuvi 50 support waypoint associated with jpg

I created waypoints using Mapsource and associated a jpg with the waypoint. The waypoint was created with a proximity alert. When I search for the waypoint via the custom POI. it does show up on the map and tapping on the bubble on the way point, I see the proximity information as well as a thumbnail of the jpg and tapping on the jpg, the pic shows up correctly.

Can adding a "via" make for a shorter trip?

So, I'm inside the north-western part of Great Smokey Mtns NP, at Cades Cove. I select "goto" a restaurant (Bonefish Grill) in Buford, GA. Fastest time was selected. It (Garmin 260) shows arrival time to be 1730 (5:30 pm).

Honda CR-V SRF

Has anybody here opened a Zumo 550?
If so is it possible to upgrade the internal memory?

MapSource Vs. BaseCamp

I am still a little bit confused about the whole MapSource Vs. BaseCamp situation. My newest computer has BaseCamp. Is it possible to still get MapSource on it? If so, will it get the newest maps if I use it to update my Garmin Nuvi 500 to 2013.3? Do I have to un-install BaseCamp first?

City Navigator 2013.30 North America

Has been uploaded to the Garmin servers so it shouldn't be long before it's available.

My guess is November 1st what's yours ?

Screen protector needed?

I just got the a new 2495 with HD traffic and LTM from costco for 200. My question is that does these GPS need a screen protector? I keep it in my center console of the car most of the time.

City Navigator Erupe 2013.30 is out

As in title. So North America version should soon follow.

Garmin Map problems?

I am on US 24 westbound and it directs me on the bypass for Fort Wayne and then tells me to exit at exit 324? There is NO exit 324 along there anywhere but I am coming up to exit 124, so I take it and now it directs me to the motel I pre-booked. Correct location.

Touch Screen unresponsive (garmin)

Touch screen does not repond to touch. Have tried recalibration by touching the dots on the screen. Still unresponsive.

Reversible Express Lanes

Does the 765T or other Garmin devices know which direction an express lane is running at any particular time?

Saturday it told me to take express lanes and I wondered if it knew they were open in my direction or if it just knew they were the best route.
