POI images

The default POI image seems to be a blue dot. I see there are a lot of images available but none (that I can find) that are 'dots" similar to the default but different colors. Can I make my own.. and how big is it?

How Many Garmin Friction Mounts Are There?

When I bought me first Garmin StreetPilot years ago, it came with a portable friction mount like this: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/pn/010-10908-02

Then, somewhat more recently, I recall hearing that a newer style was out:
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/pn/010-11280-02

Now, on Ebay, I see this style:

Garmin models with integrated traffic receivers.

Does anyone have a list of Garmin models that have the traffic receiver built in (using the TA-20 power adapter as the antenna instead of using one of the GTM external power adapter/receivers)? I don't recall ever seeing such a list here or on the Garmin FAQs, and I think this could be a good item to add to the POI Factory FAQs.

GPS off by 100 feet?

Anyone ever run into an issue where their GPS is off by a few hundred feet? I was driving around the other day and I showed up about 100-200 feet due north of where I was.

What Garmin Smartwatches Are Compatible With The Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S?

https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/552012#overview

I was looking at the Garmin website reading about the Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S. It states that is is compatible with Garmin smartwatches. Does anybody happen to know what Garmin smartwatches are compatible with it?

garmin 2689 (slow to pick up traffic info)

I recently received a 2689... I have been using a 2595--- my question has to do with traffic reception.... it seems that the 2689 is much slower to pick up traffic info???? and the power cord is different from the 2595... any experience?

Garmin recently announced they will discontinue production of FM and HD traffic receivers for their new automotive GPS models. Live traffic, via the Smartphone Link app, will be the only traffic service available on newer units.

Garmin inReach Explorer+ Vs. Garmin inReach SE+ And Legacy DeLorme InReach Explorer Vs. DeLorme InReach SE

I know that the acquisition of DeLorme by Garmin was reported here last year. More recently I have been looking at both the legacy DeLorme offering and the new Garmin offerings.

3597 pop-ups

How do you hide (get rid of) the unasked for POI,s?

In some areas gas stations, restaurants and banks were filling up my screen by changing banks to rest areas helped.

I really don't want them on the screen.

GTM60 3D cable replacement.

Bad news. Had my Nuvi stolen. Good news, police caught the guy going through another car in the parking lot. Got it back, except for the cable.
Saved a bundle and ordered one from China on 11/28/16. I wonder where it's at? shock Lesson learned.

Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S Vs. Garmin Nuvi 3597LMTHD

With the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 announcement of the new Garmin automobile navigators, I suspect that many here will look at the Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT as a premium automobile navigator in the current Garmin line up. With that in mind, I suspect that at some point comparisons will be made to the now slightly dated Garmin Nuvi 3597LMTHD.

2017.30 Update Time

During the installation of map update 2017.30 on my Nuvi 2460LMT, I was required to install an SD card.

GE recognized the card and the update completed without problems.

The lasts update to 2017.20 required 63 minutes to complete the update, however this update to 2017.30 required 3 hours and 50 minutes.

Garmin min. speed Proximity Alerts

Hello, I'm having a question regarding the proximity alert function of the Garmin Nuvi (and Oregon) models. I programmed custom points of interests for road culverts to warn public works mower operators of culverts that are not visible and to prevent damage to both equipment and infrastructure.

CN EU 2017.30

CN EU 2017.30 was released by Garmin yesterday, but there was an issue initially downloading for those with the full EU map installed, which now breaches the FAT32 4Gb limit. To cope Garmin now split the map into two, CN EU North and CN EU South, but Express was only installing the North part. That issue is now resolved.
