Garmin talk

Hello all,

I have several img files which I want to put on a SD card (32GB) to use in my Oregon 600 Garmin device.

Why is it that when I hook up my DriveSmart 60 to Web updated that is states no updates available. When I use GE it shows and update. So, should I disregard Webupdater and start using GE?

I recently had a melt down on my PC (Windows 7) and now have Windows 10 installed.

Would anyone out there have a copy of the Mapsource install file that I could get?

Still prefer it to BaseCamp.

Regards,

GE 4.1.25 is out

Does anyone know if a planned trip in the Garmin 2589LMT using the "Apps" Trip Planner can be backed up so it can be transferred to another Garmin 2589LMT? If so how is it done?
Thanks, Gene

Hi all,

It looks like all the nuvi models ending in 9 have an update offering:

Improved software stability.

Hey everyone
I was wondering if any of you know some other places to get GPS Voices...
I have gone to Pigtones I was just if there was any other ones out there.

Does Garmin or anyone publish a list of firmware changes?

It has been a couple of months since I last checked for updates for a Nuvi 2699 and it showed a firmware version of 8.3. After checking earlier today using Garmin Express, the most current version is 8.5. I was able to apply the update using Garmin Express without issue.

Hi all,

Today Garmin Express offered an update for my 3597LMTHD. It turned out to be a traffic update. The file downloaded was \.system\TrafficProviders.xml. This update may have been available for a while as I haven't checked for updates since the 2017.20 map came out.

GE is showing updates to 2017.20 for all (not Montana) my GPS units.

I've had this 2595 for a couple of years now and this past week it became unusable. It turns on and appears to function, but if I select an address and try to start a route it bogs down and becomes very unresponsive. After hitting the Go button, it takes a while (maybe a minute) to switch to the map view. Then once there, the calculation will very slowly increment but never seems to finish.

Hello all,

My trusty 1490LMT has finally given up on me after 6 years of loyal services.

I will buy a new Garmin GPS (58LMT) and I'm wondering if it's possible to transfer all of my favorites from the old GPS to the new one.

I found this method while searching althought it appears to be an old post

Will this method work in my case?

Thanks

With the launch of HD radio stations in Canada early this year we may expect the lunch of HD traffic in Canada as well. I use Smartlink app for traffic which works great but still will be interesting to see HD traffic. I tried to test HD but it will stick to smartlink app only with the message "you need charging cable with a receiver". I am using Garmin charging cable with HD receiver.

Soon will be time for the 2017.30 update.

I have tried to load the pilot / Flying J POI and all that comes through is the listings but it will not open when I press the go to button. For some reason it is telling me, when I download, that the file is corrupt. I had this working a while ago, added some other POI's and now it does not continue to let me "go" to any of them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I was ask to report on the 60LMTHD. It is great GPS. What I liked about it that when driving through Houston, Samantha gave great direction. She let me know when to change lane and which lane for me to get in. I also like how you can change the dashboard to what you like. When I came to a red light, she told me which way to turn and what lane I needed to be in to make my turn.

My Nuvi 885T which I bought in 2009 was stolen out of my truck the other day. Wife used the truck and forgot to turn the alarm on She doesn't normally use it and was in a rush to get out of the AZ heat that afternoon. The unit was never mounted when I wasn't driving, stored in a case a slot in the drivers door out of site, but having the truck unlocked was a bit too tempting I guess.

I just bought a NUVI 680 NA off ebay with City Navigator north America 2010.40 in it.

I was thinking of buying the newer City Navigator North America 2017.20 for it but from what I've been reading through some google searches it sounds like the 680 won't hold the entire map because it only has a 2 gig limit and that map is something like 2.7 gig.
