Garmin talk

Having a problem with my Nuvi 660.

The battery discharges in a short period of time even when the unit is off. Charges in a normal fashion. It's not the battery. Installed new battery, same issue. Reinstalled old battery, same time to discharge as with new battery. It's like the unit is not actually shutting down, but it is. Restart has normal boot pattern and time.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Anybody hear any rumors as to what is in store for the Garmin series in 2018? It appears that they have started to slow down their releases and there wasn't a lot different between the 50/60 series and the 51/61 series.

I looked at all previous posts, with no help. Here are the symptoms. Switch on, loads Garmin screen, then "loading maps" screen, then the white line that is supposed slowly turns green, only mine doesn't turn green! It just shuts off! Argh! Help

Been a long while since posting on this forum, due to the fact the car I recently purchased had a built in GPS. Had to drive to LA over the holidays and realized how much I missed my old 3790 (which died).

OK, just upgraded from a Nuvi1350 to Drive 60 LMT.(Canada & US maps)
I did find out how to transfer saved locations to new unit using Garmin Express. But not sure if I can add my old or any POI's as I don't see a fold like "EXTRAS" on the older unit.

Thanks

My Nuvi 1390T has developed an annoying issue with the zoom function. Auto-zoom seems to be working fine when the unit is routing, but in the non-routing mode it will randomly zoom way out. I can manually zoom it back in to a reasonable scale, but in a short time it will have zoomed back out again.

I posted this in another thread in response to a question on battery life. A lot of this is just common sense but in light of the recent questions, I decided it warrants a topic of its own.

Here are some tips to extend the life of your GPS battery:

thank you for your help

Recently purchased a DriveSmart 51 & 51 to replace our aging nuvi 2460s. I've got two questions that I'm afraid I already know the answers to. Hopefully I'm just missing something.

Is there a way to have the GPS show routing with and without toll roads, or at least ask if you want to use toll roads when routing.

I'm new to Garmin and my TomTom would always ask if I want to use toll roads.

On the way home last night driving down I95 my 3597 had me paralleling I95 off road about 350 feet to the west. Took the exit to US1 and the 3597 had me a block east into the neighborhood. Happened once before a couple of years ago.

I used it yesterday and it worked fine. This morning, wouldn't turn on, either in the car or connected to PC.

Comments?

New map CN EU 2018.30 NTU just released.

I have a Garmin dezl760LM and I installed a 8GB Sandisk micro DS card in the slot. Now what? Is there a way to format it in the GPS? It isn't seeing the card now and when I hook the GPS to the computer is shows the internal storage is pretty full with a suggestion to add more memory via a card.

Thank you in advance.

Garmin Express 5.9.0.0 is out

I have subscribed to PhotoLive Service in my Smart Link App. So far I have not used it properly. Not sure how it works properly besides opening it manually and see the selected sections of the highways.
It does not show these live pictures on the map while driving as well.

Is this the way it is suppose to work? I will appreciate your feedback.

750 working but needs a new battery, 765 and 3790 have cracked digitizers but LCDs appear to be intact and could both probably use new batteries as well. Would like to repair the 3790 the most but only if I can get it done at a reasonable price and looking for somewhere near Columbus, OH.

I am okay with mailing the items if need be.

My Nuvi 3590LMT refuse to show the map functions in Garmin Express, the maps are dated 2014 but Garmin Express think I am up to date.
I can see my Nuvi in Garmin express, I recently updated the GPS software (V8.30)
Garmin support asked me to remove and re-add my unit...... no go.Garmin express still believe the maps are up to date as it doesn't go into the update function

Hi All.
I have Nuvi 3590LMT in need of a replacement battery.

Has anyone purchased a replacement battery lately, and if so, what was your source?

I see a "NEWPOWER99.Com", and a few on ebay and Amazon

But what has been your best source?

Thanks!

Hi all, Looks like IOS 11.2 broke Bluetooth on Nuvicam. I have not tested it on my 3597 yet. I upgraded my iphone to IOS 11.2 over the weekend and after that I lost Bluetooth connectivity with the Nuvi.
I reset Bluetooth on Nuvicam and on Iphone but still IOS service is not connecting with Smartlink app anymore.
