Custom POI category sort order

I think something was broken on a recent update. For many years I have accumulated my POI files into folders within a single folder for which I point POI Loader to. Within POI Files is one level of subfolders labeled as Campgrounds, Fuel, Parks, Restaurants, etc. All of the campground .csv or .gpx files are within Campgrounds; Flying-J, Loves, etc. in Fuels, etc.

Garmin nuvi 2639LMT Junction View Stopped Working

A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip using routes I had created in BaseCamp and noticed the the Junction View was not working. I used the unit in late August on a 1,000+ mile round trip, and had noticed no problems. However, I believe there were updates available just before I left, but since I was worried about update problems, I didn't run the updates.

Does 2689LMT have same way of backing up Saved Favorites as 660?

I remember asking years ago if there is a way of saving Saved Favorites on 660, and someone posted the name of one file that accomplishes this.... (Please post again, I neglected to write it down)....

Garmin maps

Hi I’ve recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 56lm. Before this I had a Garmin 52 lm. I purchased a micro sim with USA maps on which worked great in 52 on yet when I try to put into 56lm it can’t unlock maps any ideas guys cheers

Removing Voices & Keyboards To Save Space

Just updated my Nuvi's Voices and it made me think about space. On my old 650 I was running out of room so I deleted the files for all the Voices I never used (along with help files).

Any reason NOT to delete unused Voices & Keyboards from my 2699? They seem to range in size from 18k to 899k. I noticed that Keyboards tend to be ~17k, but the ones I don't use add up.

Solving GPS problems

Garmin has a pretty good on line support that can help solve many problems you may be having with your device. Also a good way to gain knowledge on a future model you may have in mind. Here is the link https://support.garmin.com/en-US/ .Just put in your model number and you will have the option to choose a topic or to do a search.

Garmin Traffic

I use that term loosely in the Subject.

Lost Speaking Street Names???

I was using my 2699 today and noticed that when I come to a turn all she says is Turn Left or Turn Right. I could have sworn that she spoke the street names before. Yes this unit is new and I still use my old one, so I'm not sure about the voice.

So, should she say the street names? Did I turn it off somehow? Or did the unit develop a fault?

Garmin alert sound file types

I recently purchased a Garmin Drive Luxe 51 LMT-S and wanted to add new alert sound files to use with my POI camera files. I asked Garmin what type (wav or mp3) is used, and was curtly told that “This information is proprietary”. So much for customer service.

Can anyone confirm which type of sound file is correct?

Thanks!

Nuvi 2699 - Reorder Categories

Just getting used to my 2699 and was wondering if there is a way to alphabetize the list that pops up when I go to: Where To / Categories?

There are 2 sections with the first showing Restaurants, etc., and the last section titled Search Tools. In this section Foursquare is first, and I don't use it at all. I would rather have Address, Cities, Coordinates.

Any thoughts?

Garmin Monterra Android Version

I am trying to find out more about what version of Android the Garmin Monterra uses. Also, does anybody happen to know if Garmin is good about updating to newer versions of Android as they become available.

DEZL truck GPS models

I haven't found a good thread about the features and map detail offered on these DEZL models such as the 570LMT.

POI Loader & Garmin Drive 50

I've used POI Loader for a long time to load .csv POI files to a series of Garmin Nuvi's.

Just bought a Garmin Drive 50, trying to set it up for my daughter. POI Loader doesn't seem to see it. Tried installing a micro SD card, still doesn't see it.

Anyone have experience loading POI's to this series? TIA.

Nuvi 2699 - Gas & Food Alerts

Just got a 2699, what an improvement over my 660. Just took a drive on 81 in the NE and noticed that I kept seeing the gas and food symbol showing along 81. It's kind of like rest areas, not just places in the adjourning areas. So, how do I turn off these symbols?

Custom POI headache.... (POI Loader is unable to delete them)

Hi,

I have a DriveSmart 61 LMT and am having a nightmare with custom POIs....

I downloaded a list of European Aires in GPX format which I put on the device, they now appear in 'Custom POIs' > 'My points'.

All good so far.

However, I'd downloaded the wrong list and now need to remove them, all 20,000 of them.

So there's no option to delete Custom POIs on the device.

Sharcnet repair request

I need to have USB jack on my Garmin 1490LMT repaired. I tried using Sharcnet-USA repair request, but it doesn't seem to operate. Anybody know how to contact them?
