Garmin talk

Is anyone else having trouble connecting with the garmin servers. Just got the Garmin DriveDelux 51-lmt-s just a few days ago. Connected fine wireless and wired. Downloaded update to the operating system with wireless and then came inside and updated maps using wired method. Have connected numerous times since then both wireless and wired. Yesterday, no connection at all.

I did the latest map upgrade on SD Card for my 660, and afterward the new map works good, but GE still says I have yet to update map.....
Though I have.....

Seeing that after I download map onto SD Card, I have to re-name the 3 map names, in order to have them work from the SD card.....

Has anybody here found the Garmin maps "Lacking" in certain areas? (This may have been discussed before)

Nuvi 2689LMT latest map, latest updates...

I normally do not leave Toll Roads enabled... and with the device set that way.... (Toll Road NOT used)....

I also drive the same routes often....

Comparing Toll Roads enabled vs. Dis-abled....On Same GPS, On the same routes...

The Live Traffic portion of the Smartphone Link seems to consume a large amount of data (0.5Gb for a 2 hour trip). Can I turn of just the Live Traffic and still have the hands free phone work?

Is there a Garmin that will let you answer a phone call without having to tap the screen? Is there a Garmin that will read out a text message?
Is there a Garmin that will do both?

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?

Hi i updates my gps to 2018 maps. I wanna throw this same map onto my wifes gps but gives me the error saying MAP LOCKED. How would i go about that. My wifes gps is not eligible for a gps lifetime update.

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?

New software version updated to 5.20 for Garmin DriveSmart 50

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.

Android smartphones have an update which is stated to increase stability.

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

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.

Jonathan and I are deeply saddened by the senseless attack the occurred recently in Olathe, Kansas.

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.

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?

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.
