New Version of Garmin Smartphone Link
Garmin just released a new version for iOS. The graphics are totally different. I will test functionality this morning and report back. The update notes mentioned bug fixes. I tested it this morning going to work and it seemed to work fine. I mainly use it for live traffic. It stayed connected to my iPhone 6 with no issues.

Updated nuvi 2598 to version 5.2 and now HD Traffic won't work
Updated the firmware earlier this week. I used smartphone link on my iPhone for traffic one time. Today I tried using my HD Traffic will iPhone disconnected. Message under settings said Receiver Disconnected. It doesn't recognize my power plug as a valid traffic receiver. I believe 5.2 also updated somethings with traffic receiver. Has anyone had a similar problem?

By passing a stop on a route.
I had created a route in basecamp and imported it into my nuvi 2595 which contained numerous locations for rest areas, gas stations, restaurants, and hotels along this route.

Nuvi 2460LMT Repair
I have a Nuvi 2460LMT with a damaged screen. I have removed the damaged screen and ordered a complete replacement.
If members who have replaced GPS screens would share suggestions and/or instructions it would be most appreciated. For example: Is it necessary to transfer the old “rubber” tape to the new screen? Is calibration required?

Nuvi Line Being Replaced
Garmin has announced a new line of automotive GPS units called Drive. For detail see:
http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/2016/01/garmin-revs-up-the...
The Nuvi has had a great run since the first 350 was released in 2005 but it looks like that run has come to an end.

Large JCV file
I was wondering if Garmin still assigns the large junction view to a specific map update.
I was hoping I could use the current large JCV file with a new map update.
In the past someone has been volunteering to load the update for downloading but that is hard to count on going forward.

rerouting
I know my unit is old, I think 5? (2450LMT)
Sometimes I wonder, why does it not recalculate, meaning we've veered off its suggested course for already 1 min, and it's tracking us properly, but does not reroute...
We still prefer it over the factory NAV, but I think Garmin will go the way of the dodo bird eventually....

Data Errors in CSV Files for Garmin - POI Loader Chokes
Hey all. I've been gone for a long while but I got a new Nuvi and was trying to put some POIs on it. I've got some CSV files I obtained from a website, and the POI Loader doesn't like something about them; it says there are data errors on say line 57 and it won't go past that. I've fixed the obvious things I can see but I'm still getting the errors.
