Topo Maps

3597, and I have downloaded and installed, (on a SD card) one Topo Map. The only was I can see it is if I uncheck all the other maps and leave the Topo checked in my maps.

Is there any other way to view the Topo without unchecking all the other maps?

WRONG MILEAGE on 3 Device

Last week I took a trip to go Upstate NY to go see relative for the first time since they move there.

I enter the destination on 2 of my Gps C550 and 1450 I take the C550 just for a back up just in case something go wrong on the way with my 1450 both GPS give me 281 miles and about 5 hours driving to get there.

Wrong Speeds

I've noticed numerous wrong speed limit indications with my Garmin. I have notified Garmin about it and gave them the coordinates but no change with the new updates. It's been almost a year now. I've also found many more errors which causes a concern if you are relying on the Garmin GPS to inform you as to what the speed limit is.

Garmin Got it Right

Seems as if other apps aren't handling I-11 very well.

NuviCam screen turning off issue

For the last couple of days I have seen one strange issue with my NuviCam. The screen shuts off while the device is still working. The other issue I can see is the battery. Looks it is not charging and may be due to battery issue, it is shutting down screen?

Please advise..

Is Voice Command Recognition Getting Worse?

I upgraded to the latest software and maps on my 2689 about a week ago and after a 3 day road trip I swear the ability recognize what I say has gotten worse. Seems to happen after every upgrade. Most times when I ask for a street or place it seems to come up with something not even close to what I said.

GTM 60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver

I purchased the GTM 60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver some time back for my Nuvi 2597.Was aware of the Weather icon, but had never used it and had forgotten it was there. Decided to try it out while on the interstate. Showed me the current weather for the area plus the extended forecast. Nice little feature to have.Sure it is limited on locations available to get the weather report.

New Roads Appearing on Maps

Last week Interstate Highway 11 opened in Nevada. It is a short section that bypasses Boulder City, and the freeway may expand using existing or new routes to Mexico and points north in the future.

Garmin MapUpdater - Has Garmin removed download links?

I noticed today that the download links for Garmin MapUpdater we have referenced in several Factory FAQ's and posts no longer work (e.g. http://www.poi-factory.com/node/39873). I also could not find copies of MapUpdater for Mac or PC on the Perry Archive site.

Has Garmin moved these downloads to a different link or removed them altogether?

No new garmins?

Halfway through 2018 and still no word about any new automotive units. I think we're still at the 51/61. Are we just going to skip a year? I thought someone said at CES that we were looking at 3-6 months?

Hi,

Unfortunately my screen is cracked and I'm hoping someone can tell me where I can get a new screen for it or a old 660 with a screen that's ok.

Help with new DriveLuxe 51 & Apple PC please..

I went into a small local computer store after ordering the GPS above. While I was in the store, I discovered they had a DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S on a shelf. It didn't have a price so I asked. The guy said 143.99 and I bought it. I've canceled the other order.

Now, the questions (Yes I've looked around and didn't find anything)

Computer system will be an Apple MacBook, OS level is 10.4+

BC-30 Only Works in Landscape

I installed a BC-30 backup camera last week and was surprised when it popped up and said only works in Landscape and asked for OK or Cancel. Cancel went back to maps and OK switched my 2689 to landscape but did not switched back when I put the truck in forward. I have gotten to like running my GPS in portrait, the map of where I'm going shows more real estate.

Garmin Dash Cam 55

Recently received a Dash Cam 55 and was wondering if it’s possible to load the Red Light Camera files into it?

It has the Garmin Red Light database already installed but would much rather have the ones from the POI factory.

Thanks in advance for your help.

New Garmin Smartphone update

Version 2.9.4 for iOS now available.
