Worst Garmin update ever (routing is terrible now)

I don't know if it was the map (City Navigator NA NT 2018.1) or the software (4.40) for my Garmin 58 LMT that ruined it?

HELP.....Connection port on RV760.... HELP

OK..... this will go down as one of the dumbest questions on the forum! Which port do you connect to on the RV760 to connect to computer.....the one on the back, that connects to power, or the one on the bottom next to the SD card slot?

Software Version 5.20

New software version updated to 5.20 for Garmin DriveSmart 50

Loaded map on GPS. How do I get on computer

I attached my 2555LMT and downloaded 2018.1 with Garmin Express.

I want to have on computer to use with Basecamp.

I'm using GarminMapupdater to load on Computer Only, but there must be a better way to do this with GE.

Would appreciate your help.

Garmin with POI already installed

Is there a Garmin device(s) that have POIs already installed?
I see some Garmins using foursquare...are these the ones with it already?

My neighbor has a new car and his built in sat nav system has all icons displaying for all gas stations, restaurants etc. Is Garmin capable of this without loading POIs for every single gas station , restaurant etc?
Thank you

Garmin and Chrome

I am just learning how to use my new Garmin NuviCam and, on looking over the tutorials on how to load POI files into the Garmin, find that it opens with describing the use of a Windows platform. Does this mean that it will not work with the Google Chrome browser? I've been trying to figure out if the POI Loader works with Chrome as that is the browser I usually use.

Setting locale of the GPS to a foreign country

Garmin has a FAQ stating that it's possible to get an audible alert when going over the speed limit when the unit is set to a European locale.

https://support.garmin.com/faqSearch/en-GB/faq/content/2SFgF...

There's been talk in the past that setting the unit to Australia will give the user the ability in turning auto zoom on & off.

View all Poi

When I open my list off Poi in my garmin, why does it appear that the only ones that are close by can be viewed. Example: there are 48 UFA in alberta and stored in a poi file, but only ten appear in list, how can I view all 48 locations?

how to change little 'symbol' when importing a large POI file?

Hello.

I imported the list of campgrounds here

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/41987

But each symbol on the map is a little blue 'flag'.

Is there a way to change all the symbols to a little GREEN TENT?

There are nearly 20,000 of them so not practical to do one by one.
(I have them all in a separate list in Basecamp)

Yesterday our local Costco had Nuvicams for $249.

Offline file converter

Can i download a offline file converter tool to converts files ect:;

Garmin Anatomy

There is a little hole (indention) on the front of my Nuvi 2455LMT and I don't know what it is. Is it a mic or something. Because I think my unit doesn't support that feature.

Does Smart Link work on your iPhone?

Smart Link does not work between my iPhone and NuviCam. I get frequent disconnects. I have ZERO issues when only going from my iPhone to NuviCam when only the phone is connected via Bluetooth and not Smart Link.

Please share your configuration, especially if yours works. Here is mine.

Garmin NuviCam with all the updates from Garmin Express

An interesting test offer

Hmm, we've known for a while that Garmin map update policy states that a device not updated for more than 24 month will lose the ability to update maps.

I don't know that we've ever heard of someone experiencing this.

Here's a way to test it if anyone wants to buy a used 3597 with 2015 maps:

Keeping POI Files On SD Card

I downloaded the poi file for Harley Davidson dealerships on an SD card and inserted it into the slot on my Nuvi 55LM. The locations are now on the gps and when I tried to save a new destination as a favorite I get a message that the favorites folder is full. Is there someway to keep the poi locations on the SD card only?

CD Slot Mount

I really like my Mountek nGroove 6000g CD Slot Mount, but now that I see this, I want to learn more about it. I must admit that I like the idea of triple ball mounting and having the opportunity to hold two devices.
