Garmin talk

I usually try to get to Flying J's that are RV friendly (Separate GAS Island for RV'ers), but occasionally I run into Flying J's without the RV island.

Has a POI been created for Flying J's/Pilot's that is RV friendly for GAS?

Another reason for use of the Flying J is for the Extra .05 off I get on the gallon. (Adds up on a long trip)

Thanks in advance for the link!

Just ordered the Garmin Speak Plus with Amazon Alexa, looking forward in playing with this new device since I have an unlimited data voice package from Verizon

Most of the newer units out there are under a C note. What do the masses recommend to replace my old boat anchor? My preferences are ease of use and long distance/no cell service routing. I use Waze way more than I do most other apps, but when traveling out west (on those rare coast to coast vacations), I have been in the blackout areas where the cell phone is useless.

I've always wanted one but couldn't justify the price. I'm finding myself driving past quite a few Fuel station because of my Length.

I posted on this several years ago and apparently, at the time, I was the only one with this issue.

When I download the latest mapset using GE to both GPS and computer, the map works fine on the GPS. The problem is, the map won't unlock when trying to use it with Basecamp or Mapsource on the computer.

I purchased a brand new Nuvi 2539 last September. I just sent it back for warranty repair. I got the replacement last week. The replacement unit seems ok. The micro usb plug became very contrary. It would not receive traffic signals and would charge intermittently leaving me a stone dead battery. Has anyone else had problems with their micro usb ports?

Is there any way to transfer maps between nuvi units (2539/2559) that have Lifetime maps? One garmin rep told me that each map has a license specific to a particular unit's serial number; thus maps were not transferrable and needed to be downloaded for each unit. Another Garmin rep told me that there was a way to copy maps from one unit to another but did not explain how to do it.

Does anyone know the difference between hibernation and power off? I know that hibernation starts up the unit much quicker. Will the battery drain quicker if I do not use the unit for a few weeks and leave the unit to hibernate? Thanks for the answers.

Now that I have been using my DriveLuxe 51 for a while now, I am starting to notice some other little differences between the 3597 and DriveLuxe 51.

When I am en route to a location with the Nuvi 3597 and look for another location near my destination, the 3597 shows how close the new location is to the destination.

GE keeps repopulating my GPS' after removing old, and outdated faves.

How do you delete this file?

There seems to be some interest in county lines. I think this site has been pointed out in the past but I did a search and didn't find it. If you want the lines to appear with the Garmin maps, this site has the transparent maps. It also has transparent topo maps.

Hello guys!
First of all, I'd like to say sorry if I am posting in the wrong place. I am new at POI Factory!
I am going to Hungary next week, but for sure, I'm gonna go around that region as well. Could someone say to me if there is a Speed Alert and Redlight (.gpi file) that covers Hungary to download?

Thanks in advance,

Enioli.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched and could not find anything ...

I recently upgraded to a Zumo 595LM for my motorcycle.
It has a number of applications on it that I will never use.
Is it possible to delete those applications?

Also/separately, is there a way to reorder them in the

When loading map with GE, how can I load the map to the computer and the Garmin GPS?

I was downloading 2019.10 last night and couldn't figure it. I used Map Updater instead and it's dead easy to do with MU. Just click on options and it's there.

With the latest map upgrade, I've noticed that some RLC alerts show a bright red banner at the top of the screen, while others are the standard grey. Also, the red banners appears a second or so before the "ping", while the grey ones are simultaneous.

Not a big issue, just curious as to why that occurs.

Comments?

GE Express v6.1.1.0 is available to download.

I have a Garmin 60 LMT that recently started acting like someone is always touching the lower left corner of the screen. After a few minutes it will actually cancel my route. Most screen commands won't work because its acting like there is a finger on the screen already. I can use voice commands. After the screen has been on for several hours it will stop doing this.

On Feb 6 Google Earth Pro was auto-updated to 7.3.1.4507. Unfortunately it updates to the 64 bit version. The 64 bit version cannot be enabled with the link to it from BaseCamp (at least on my computers which are all 64 bit).

The 32 bit version can be found here: https://support.google.com/earth/answer/168344?hl=en

So I talked to Garmin and they told me that they do not support my C550 because it is outdated. They replaced it with Garmin Drive 50 USA+CAN LMT for free. I only paid shipping $8.00. Now I have the 2019.10 map updates. They told me to properly dispose my old GPS however it still works so I will keep it as a backup.

Has anyone else noticed that at some point after Jan 1, 2018 traffic information is no longer being received by their older devices with FM Traffic only? I have both a Nuvi 760 with an added on lifetime traffic subscription, and a Nuvi 765T, which has lifetime traffic built in.
