Nuvi 2497 LTM strange behaviour.

I purchased one of these units recently, with the intention of using it to assist me in my business (primarily the transportation of golf carts to and from golf courses in Gauteng). The first thing that concerns me is the "T" part of the nomenclature - to tell the truth it's very much a ca...

Re: TOPO Southern Africa 2013 PRO

Anybody have any idea why the Oregon 300 is not listed as a supported device?

Or is it just because the 300 is no longer produced?

Thanks.

Nuvi 42LM trip logs

Eventually I managed to acquire one of these little beasties for SWAMBO... and it seems to work just fine, right out of the box. A sizeable step up in useability from my previous Nuvi which only stabilised software-wise just before it died completely... Here's a question, though... How does one dele...

Re: Tom Tom

Perhaps chat directly to Shorty on this: I know that when it comes to TT vs. Garmin, the TT has (or had) a problem navigating to any point not situated on an actual national road. I bought my SWAMBO a TT and when it was unable to navigate to a specific point in a parking area - although it COULD nav...

Re: Complaint to Garmin S.A.

Thanks guys - I'll pop on over to noeman and see if there's any hope for my little Nuvi... I must say I'm really disappointed with Garmin S.A. - they seem to have lost all their interest in customer service, and have turned into retail moguls - " never mind the quality, feel the width "......

Complaint to Garmin S.A.

Herewith a copy of the letter I have just sent to Garmin S.A. Sirs. I am EXTREMELY unhappy with Garmin South Africa. Allow me to explain why - and please check the history of the unit detailed above which is itself a swap-out replacement for the original (faulty) unit purchased a few years ago. Thro...

Re: Part of Gauteng N1 'a safety risk'

Vadi said the present four-lane carriageway on this stretch was being extended to six lanes as part of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project.
This portion of the highway would not be subjected to proposed toll fees, he said. - Sapa
hehehe - believe that, you'll believe anything!

Re: Waypoint categories

Bump!

Any suggestions as to a workaround on 'converting' categories of waypoints, anybody? :director:

Basecamp looks intriguing, but it's SUCH a PITA to have to go and change all my waypoints manually.... :swear:

Re: CN 2013.20 maps

I seriously hope that this Topo Map will then be useable on the Oregon in place of the (now defunct) Topo & Rec maps, and that they will give us the option to upgrade from T&R to the Topographic Map. Any idea of release date? :?: I'm not sure about other people's use of T&R (which includ...
