Garmin talk

Yesterday our local Costco had Nuvicams for $249.

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

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.

Looks like they are replacing the PND revenue stream with fitness devices!

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

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:

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?

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.

Used our 660 yesterday... Bright day... In past few months I noticed that the Screen didn't seem as bright as it had been before.....
I'm guessing the backlight panel is fading over time... I see it going slightly red as well, which is another symptom I used to see on screens at work that had lots of hours on them.....

Garmin Express v5.2.0.0 for Windows is available.

My 2595 keeps telling me "Memory Full". Internal memory is almost full. I have a 4 GB SD card that has over 2GB free inserted.
I assume that it's favourites taking up memory, so I've deleted GC (geocache) favourites and numbered (012 for example) favourites from the unit's memory.
My question is ...

Hi all. I am a bit frustrated why my Garmin lm58 would take me the long way around to a poi. I have a poi about 2 miles off a main highway but instead it will take me 70 km around then in.. i have tried to (check, uncheck) every possible navigation option like aviod toll roads or unpaved or uturns or ferries. Tried everything'..

I bought my nuvi 855 as a factory refurb in 2010. Later that year I bought a spare battery for it on eBay (they are no longer available, but were readily available at that time). I always carried the spare in the nuvi case. To keep the two batteries both fully charged, every few days I would swap between the two for normal daily use of my 855.

For the last many years I've been running Examdiff to do file compares on my Windows 7 system. I've recently moved over to a Windows 10 system and when I went to download Examdiff I found out it's not supported under 10. There is a new version that is, but it's very expensive for my purposes.

i HAVE A NUVI 2460,NO REACTION ON SCREEN.
There is three plug in points one on the cradle at the bottom of the unit is numerous little contacts.At the left bottom a small adapter and a larger one on the left hand side.
Which one do I use for charging and for updating unit.

I ran across this when attempting to update my FAQ on Garmin Software change logs. I found the link for the new Drive 51 and DriveSmart 51 and it reads:

Use WebUpdater? Does that mean Don't use Garmin Express? Garmin never fails to surprise me. Go figure!

It appears that Garmin has issued a software update for the entire Drive x0 series.

Changes made from version 4.10 to 5.10:

Added a feature to view the device battery level when it is connected to a computer.
Fixed an issue that prevented traffic events from appearing in Italy.
Fixed an issue that prevented postal code searches from working in Canada.

Only because the 2689LMT had a SD Slot, and my 660 was already using the SD card for maps... I added a 16Gb card when the 2689LMT was purchased....
I've yet to use it for anything....

Question to others who ARE using SD slots.. (Other than you're out of space on internal memory)...

WHAT are you using the SD space on?

considering using it for something else.... Thanks!

Has anyone experienced and battery problems with Garmin GPS units in general or Nuvi 2589's in particular? I've has two 2589's I've had to return because the battery depletes after a short period in storage.

Since upgrading it seems there is more inconsistent map displays on the screen. If I have a route displayed and subsequently cancel it cross streets do not always show, or show on the map itself. And, in the information bar it (occasionally) shows "driving on road".
