Garmin talk

I bought this Unit about 4 weeks ago, updated the Software and Maps. I ran a Simulation and everything was good to go. Later on that day, I plugged it into the Car Power port ( Rated at 5amps )and as soon it powered up, the Unit went into Computer connection mode, could not power down but after I disconnected the Power Cord, I got the Garmin Logo, the Unit worked fine after that.

I use my Nuvi 2598 sometimes to make a phone call using voice comment. Lately Phone Book and Call History is not highlighted any more and of course I can't use it. . Anybody has an idea what happened?

Thank you.

On my old 2460 I could tell it there was a detour and it would plot a new route around it. I use to use it often when I just didn't want to use the suggested road it wanted me to turn on. I can't find that option on our two current Garmins a 2689 and 2589. Did they remove this feature or am I just not finding it?

I just happened to look at my house on Google Earth yesterday, and lo and behold, there I am in the picture. See

That white blob is me mowing the lawn. And I know that because when I mow, I move a decorative park bench out of the way by placing it in the middle of the drive - which is what caught my eye.

Hi. I have a 3490 and several times lately it has said Overheat or something like that.

Anyone else been experiencing with their units ?

I know years ago there was a recall on some batteries that were causing overheating, but the 3490 wasn't among those units.

I need a step by step procedure describing how to load map updates to an SD card on my LMT 3490. The device is full when I attempt to update I get the message to use an SD card. The question is how? Garmin express finds the device +SD card but I have a choice of Device, Device and computer, and computer.

I've just started to find my way around this unit.

Looking for feedback from anyone with Nuvi 2599/2699. When I use voice command to "Find a Place", let's use Costco as an example, it displays Costco warehouses but shows multiple listings for same location all with the same address.

Any idea what why it does this ?

Hello, 2 questions:
1) Is there any way to remove the CUSTOM Pois directly from the Garmin device, without having to go to Poi Loader ?. My device is Nuvi 765t.
2) Is there some Garmin model that allows deleting custom pois from the device?
Thanks and regards.

Urgent help needed.
This is the USB on my 478.

Where can I get this repaired quickly?

I just noticed this over on the Garmin site

Its like a heads up display for sailors - it displays relevant information on your sunglasses

so you can use your own sun-glasses and clip this to the side of them to get speed info etc

pretty cool , has anyone seen one unreal life ? How did it work ?

Not sure if anyone can help, but...

Why can´t I download EPE files and get work? Some with the same problems. I am using a PC and Win7.

Hi, all,

When I have my new Garmin nuvi 2689LMT connected to my PC (Windows 7), there is no "Safely Disconnect" icon in the system tray, and no "eject" option in "my computer". Each time, I have had to just unplug the USB. This makes me quite concerned that data from the nuvi might be lost or corrupted, but I have no idea how to resolve the issue.

Just purchased factory refurbished Nuvi 2599LMT. Have yet to check what mapset version is installed but I'm guessing update might be in order.

Garmin Express has a new update.

The link I used to use to find the Release Notes fails me so if someone can post the changelog, or even better, post the Garmin Forum link to this and future changelogs, we'd all appreciate your help.

I just bought a RV760 and transferred files from my old Nuvi750 using Garmin Express. Where are the routes located on the 760 (assuming they were transferred)?

Ok, I'll admit the old 2460 is getting a little dated, but up until my last trip, it has served me well. While coming through Chatanooga, the unit just "locked up " and would not update. I finally powered it down, and then it would not power back up. After several attempts to restart the unit, I just powered it off.

HI, This is my first post so please excuse me if I sound too ignorant. I have loaded many POI's in my Nuvi-2597 but am not sure how to have them either show up on the screen as I ride and view the map (if possible) and also to have them alert me when one is in a predetermined area.

Does anyone have any experience maintaining a GPS unit that is built into a vehicle? How does it differ from the process I now use to update the maps, software, etc. on my standalone unit? Do they come with lifetime map updates and such?

Hi everyone i have been trying for a few weeks now to load the new map on my Garmin nuvi 660 without any success. I have the 2017 map and would like to load it on my sd card, when i copy it on the sd card in the garmin folder and load it into my nuvi it boots up after it displays loading maps a bar shows up but it does not completely load then it switches to the dashboard.
