Garmin talk

About time to crank up a new thread

how can you format a sd card to suit a Garmin Nuvi 270 ,and change to mass storage . i just acquired this unit , my first unit

It was a first, but lesson learned. This morning i plugged in both my nuvi's to check for updates. Fired up express and after 10 seconds or so i checked for express software updates. It found an update and asked me to update. MISTAKE. Somehow the auto software update kicked in also shortly after the manual update began and the nightmare began...lol. Two simultaneous updates running.

Antivirus vendor Bitdefender obtained the Bart decryption keys from the Romanian police

Maybe this will help some poor soul

I've been the proud owner of a Nuvi 750 since 2008. I love this old thing. I bought a new DriveSmart 50 and cannot find a way to lock the screen. I feel vunerable to the fact that if stolen, one could drive right to my house. I actually put my address in by creating my first trip with BaseCamp. When I entered my starting point it ask me if it could be called Home.

A few years back while traveling on a lengthy trip I encountered an unusual problem with my Garmin 478. I had preplanned my entire trip of approximately 10,000 miles.

Updated GE today to 5.3.1.0 and noticed that there was an update for my 3597.

The file that lists all the FM Traffic Stations has been updated.

Took less than a minute to update.

GE still thinks I need to update the Southern U.S. and Mexico maps though, even though they are the current versions.

NEW Garmin Express 5.3.1.0 RELEASED!

I appreciate that the Garmin Base camp program has a dedicated following.. but. One would think.. it should be easy to create a way point and transfer that point to my Garmin so that I could use it as a destination.

Loaded up my Nuvi 2595 with the latest North America NT 2017.20 unlocked on my SD card. Now not recognizing my voice commands with the standard " this feature is not available in American English" although I have it checked and loaded, the one that says street names and all the voice recognition files.

I have had the most terrible problem with my Garmin 3597LMT gps. Windows 10 would not recognize it. I have called both Dell and Garmin a whole bunch of times so I hope they are reading this now. I have found a partial solution!!!!!!!

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?

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

Garmin Express 5.3 is out

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?

Hello all,

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?

Does the San Disk Ultra 16GB Ultra Micro SDHC UHS-I/Class 10 Card work on nuvie 67lm

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?

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.
