Map Update/Micro SD Card
I went to update my maps and the message came up that I need an SD card with at least 3gb of space. The 4gb SD card in my 3597 has about 1.2gb of free space. Can I just erase the SD card, re-insert it and update? Seems to me if I am putting in a new card then I could just delete the stuff off the old card. Thoughts.
TIA

1390 dead?
My old 1390 gave up. Every so often, I will get it out and at least power it up or charge. This time there was a second of Garmin showing on the screen, then dark. It is not being seen by desk top or my laptop. Screen is black and tried several hookups. Nothing.
No loss here. Didn't use it anymore.
Is that what happens when they die?

RV 760 Saved Tracks
I have a RV 760 and have turned on Travel History in the device settings. Went on an 18 day trip, and tried to download the tracks into Basecamp. However on the last day showed in the listing. Does it over write the data every day?

DriveSmart 50 not displaying roads/streets
For the past couple of days, my DriveSmart 50 is intermittently not displaying minor streets/roads. They show when it initially starts, but disappear a few seconds later.
Any ideas out there in Garminland?

Recent software updates for nuvi 2757 LMT
Hello All,
It's been a long time since I was last active, but am diving in again.
About 1.5 weeks ago I hooked up the GPS unit noted in the subject and Garmin Express told me that there was a software update and a map update. The software update downloaded and applied in less than 3 minutes while the maps take hours (on DSL speeds) as per usual.

Drive models and red light cameras
Has anyone got any experience of the new Drive models and 3rd party red light/speed cameras? There are reports on a UK forum that Garmin has removed that ability from their Drive models and that they only support Garmin speed cameras?

Drive 60LMT
I've purchased a new Drive 60LMT and I am looking for new vehicles and voices like I have on my older Nuvis but I have been unable to find them on the Garmin site. In the past I simply went to the Garmin Garage and found what I needed. I can no longer find the garage. Is it gone or has it moved? Will the Drive 60 accept the same options as the Nuvi?

Garmin Dash Cams
Has anyone tried the new Garmin dash cams? The product includes some interesting and innovative new features. Although a separate unit, it seems like an improvement over the Nuvicam.

Proximity alerts
I have done this a few years ago. I will use POI loader to load rest areas, certain gas stations, red light and speed cameras. Maybe a few others. I'm not sure what I used last time.
What is the general consensus on the proximity alert distances?
What do you use and maybe a reason.

Anyone else having trouble connecting to garmin servers
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.

How to turn off just Live Traffic for Smartphone Link
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?












way points on my 3580
When I enter multiple stops on in my 3580 the map only shows the first stop. How can I see the whole route? Can I enter and safe routes?
