Garmin talk

Hi there,

I have a strange situation in my Nuvi 2797.

In my "Saved" thread/folder there should only be two subjects.

1. "All Saved Places"
2. "Address" (Maybe this should not be there either)

I now have two more there which are from my Custom POI's.
1. Custom POIs: Americas Best Value Inns
2. Custom POIs: Super Eight

I have Nuvi 3597LMTHD which came with HD traffic receiver. Since I am in Canada, there is no HD traffic. I subscribed to Smartlink App traffic. Today, after long time I tried FM traffic using the built in receiver. Unfortunately it does not work anymore. At the top left side of the screen I see the status as "Receiver disconnected" and the main screen with the following message:

Just ordered a 3597LMTHD

Will my 1450 car power cord with traffic work?

Will the same 1450 mount work?

Thanks

It's been years since I loaded POI files onto a NUVI that I am lost in how to do it. I get as far in the POI Loader where it asks where to put the new data. Everything I enter gives the error that 'there are no data files in that folder. Please specify a folder that contains at least one file with a .csv or .gpx extension.' (Using windows 10).' I have a refurbed 3597.

Prior to updating to 4.2.0.0, 2 2689 LMT files were flagged needing updates... a Voice and Traffic listing..
(I've been out of town for a couple weeks -- so if this is old news, please ignore)

I compared line 1 of wallmart.csv to another .csv file.... then removed row 1... saved.... and POI now loads without error...

For PC:
Garmin began rolling out Garmin Express v4.2.0 for the PC today. If you would like to upgrade to the latest version, Check for Updates to Express on the Settings page within the Express application. This version includes the following changes:

• Fixed an issue with Express not detecting an SD card in a number of devices.

For Mac:

Come and get it.

I am on a search for POI's that deal with School zone alerts in Edmonton. They (alerts) have not yet entered the Garmin Data base and the city is very actively enforcing the zones with cameras. One ~$150.00 fine is too much.. going 44 km/ hr in a 30 zone!
I see POI's for red light cameras but nothing for school zones.. Anyone??

I have two laptops I use. One is running Windows 10 and all is well. One crashed and I had to reload starting with Windows 8 and then installed Windows 10, the newest version.

Now the one I just installed W10 on will run the installed BaseCamp and MapSource and I can use either program to load a GPX or GDB file from within BC or MS.

I do not see any way to download sounds. Granted I am 75 so fog takes place of brain.

Thanks in Advance

Nuvicam 3.40 is out. Below is the change log:
Changes made from version 3.30 to 3.40:
Added improvements for handling larger map files.
Improved processing for the Forward Collision Warning System.
Improved the voice dialing feature when using it with Bluetooth phones.
Fixed an issue that caused outdated files to be left on devices after a map update.

Just fired up GE and it told me that my 2797 had a software update version 5.40. Did the update but I thought Version 5.40 came out a while back.

I created a route with Trip Planner on my Garmin 3597 and purposely did the following to see how the unit would react.

I placed a shaping point close ( + - 50 feet) to the interstate I was on and as I was approaching the unit told me to exit as expected.

1- Can we delete or change the order of all the icons when we press Apps Icon on the main screen (Help File, Smartphone Link, Ecoroute,Trip Planner, Where I,ve been etc)

I previously owned a Garmin Nuvi 2595LMT and recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 2689LMT. My problem is that I use the Windshield Mount Suction Cup Holder with a Dashboard Donut and the Nuvi 2689LMT clearance is minimal with top of the Dashboard Donut.

My observation is that:

10/19/16: Garmin Express updated my 3597LMTHD today with Samantha 2.40. Previous version was 2.30.

12/13/16: Samantha and Jack are now up to V 2.50.

I have a question for you folks that have a Garmin unit with the add-on backup camera.

Seeing the feature in newer cars (namely in rentals) I can see this is a feature that I could get used to very easily. My current Garmin is fine (2450 with lifetime maps) but I know my sister wouldn't be opposed to having it as she occasionally borrows it then I would just get a new one.
