Nuvi 67LM
Just bought a second 67LM, it was a Birthday present for my Son. So everyone in my Family as a Nuvi. It also keeps the rugrats from borrowing my Nuvi! But I also maintain all the devices, yay

Garmin quality and feature differences.
Well, I am getting the urge to upgrade again.
What I can't figure is the differences between the "two-digit" Nuvis and the four.
Is one a better quality of the the other?
I am seriously considering going to 6" or 7". I am not sure at that point the one inch will matter, since I am coming from a 5".
Why the two "brands" within Garmin?

RV GPS is 760 top of the line or something new on the way
Had it with Magellan, just returned my new 9490 as it wouldn't pick up satellites. Do you know if Garmin 760 is top of the line RV GPS or is something new on the way??
Thanks
Bill

Long time, but long inactive member has a trip log question - Nuvi 2595LMT
All,
I'm planning a cross country trip and would like to leave my Nuvi 2595LMT running so I can record the entire trip, both ways, in real time. I will not have the ability to save out the archived data points for the log until my return.

Nuvi 2639LMT Saved Places
Hey --
Compared to my previous 755T, the new design doesn't let me separate my saved places info categories.
I personally don't like it. Do you?

Modifying The Garmin Nuvi 500
I still have a Garmin Nuvi 500 in one of my vehicle. It has a very slow processor and seems to take forever when looking for POIs. By any chance, has anybody here ever tried modifying their Garmin to a newer, faster processor? My guess is that the effort wouldn't be worth it, but I thought that I would ask anyway.

Garmin 2017.10 voice command error?
Updated on April 19, suddenly, voice command shuts device down as soon as you ask it to do anything. Can post a video showing what it's doing if necessary. 4 days ago, on 2016.30, never had an issue.

Map Updates
I took a trip to Atlanta this week and my trusty GPS seemed confused. Leaving the airport it showed me driving where there were no roads and all in all it was a bit confused. I soon realized that I have not been diligent about map updates and they have altered the roads and routes around the airport significantly.

Garmin 3490 Froze During Navigation
So I am currently travelling around the country on vacation and I have been using the Garmin 3490 extensively and it's been great but for the first time in four years it froze in the middle of navigation. It showed an exit to get off at and after I did, it stayed on that screen for at least a mile later. I tried voice command and touching the screen but nothing.

Write down your serial number and contact Garmin if GPS is stolen
Garmin folks, I recently had several items taken from my car, including a Nuvi. I filed a police report and gave them the model and SN. I also called Garmin support and let them know it was stolen. They can't track a GPS but they listed it as stolen in their system and disabled any map or software updates. After 2 weeks, the police called and they recovered my Nuvi.

Issue uploading routes to NUVI
I have a new Nuvi 2589. It is updated with the latest version of all the software. I have the latest version of Basecamp for Mac. I can create routes in basecamp with no problem. I then click the upload and the window opens and says the upload to the device is done. I disconnect my device and start it. I then get an error "Cannot Save Trip" wit the tripName.

GARMIN POI USAGE
Hello! I am a bit confused. I have downloaded POIs to my PC, and loaded them to my Garmin with POI Loader! My question is this.....is it possible to have POI files run continuously in the background, so that they appear on my GPS as I am traveling, or are the POI files only usable in a static-type mode!

zumo660 (updating camping spots)
how do you update new POI camping spot
3590LMT and SD card
Recently purchased a Garmin 3590LMT to replace my 885T.
This model accepts a 32GB micro-sd card.
I intend to have Europe maps loaded onto it.
Two questions:
1. Is it recommended to buy a "Class 10" micro-sd card?
2. I read that buying anything over 8GB was not recommended and that the larger 16GB+ micro-sd cards would actually slow the device down.
Is there any truth to that?
