Powering the Garmin unit on before starting car
I was driving yesterday, and my wife was cleaning the area around the plug. She had to pull out the garmin power cable for a few minutes. Since the unit was powered on when I started the car, the garmin unit immediately turned off. From now on I am going to power the garmin unit on before starting the car, and turn the unit off when am ready to leave the car.

With the release of Garmin Express 7.18.0, support for Windows OS versions 8 and older is being dropped.

GE for Windows 7.18.10 released
GE for Windows 7.18.10 was just released. My personal advice is not to jump right in, especially if you have Garmin watches, hiking devices, etc. Garmin Forums seem to indicate that was the majority of issues with the previous version.
There is at least one report of a continuing problem with someone running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Apparently Garmin has discontinued POI Loader
When I tried to download the current POI Loader from http://www8.garmin.com/products/poiloader/ I got this: "Sorry, we can't find that page." I then tried searching the Garmin website for POI Loader, but there were no results.

A while back, I noticed that I was no longer receiving traffic updates on my nuvi 3490LMT...has HD Traffic gone the way of the Dodo? I can not even find anything in the "Subscriptions" area of the Garmin website to try and activate a new subscription.

If you are using Windows 7
then you might want to consider NOT updating GE to the recently released version, 7.18.0.0. Many people over on the Garmin Forum site report having issues after doing the update.

Garmin Power Saving Mode
I have been having problems getting the internal battery on my Garmin Zumo XT fully charged when using a Garmin charger in the house.
I am now using an Anker charger that puts out 5 volts and 3 amps.
It displayed this message a bit ago, so I will check in the morning.
“Charging the battery.
Press the Power key to turn on.”

Garmin Aviation And Marine Devices Compatible With City Navigator North America NT
I was looking at Garmin City Navigator today and when I checked Compatible Devices, it lists a number of aviation units. They are the Garmin Aera 500, 510, 550, 560 and 796. They are more expensive than automobile navigators.

Question for charlesd45
charlesd45, in your "Extra POI Editor | How To Build Alert Distance In Using Gpx Files" tutorial about how to use Extra POI Editor, you talk about "OPEN"ing the target file, but don't mention that the target file has to be a .csv file. That is right, right? If it is, that becomes a fairly important omission for someone completely unfamiliar with EPE.
