Question: I need a cable to link satnav to laptop, to update and charge it. Have tried one "compatible" one, but satnav tells me it will not charge with that cable and to use original supplied - which is lost! Is there a properly compatible one which will work?
Answer: All of the genuine accessories that we sell for the Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D can be viewed and purchased via the Garmin nuvi 3598 accessory page.
I would recommend that you purchase the Garmin nuvi 3598 AC Adapter and USB Cable Kit.
The AC Adapter and USB Cable Kit will provide you with the means to charge your Garmin nuvi 3598 sat nav via the mains. Connecting your Garmin nuvi 3598 to your laptop alone will not provide sufficient power to charge your sat nav. The AC Adapter and USB Cable Kit also includes the correct Mini USB cable to connect your Garmin nuvi 3598 to your laptop to preform an update or download.
If you wanted to purchase an update cable only (without the means to charge via your laptop) please purchase the Garmin nuvi 3598 Mini USB Cable.
Question: Please could you give me your price for a US sat nav map update for my Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D 5" Sat Nav
Answer: The latest City Navigator NT North America map for your Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D is priced at £64.99 + postage (see website for delivery options). You can buy it online here.
Yes, American vehicles like the UK have a 12-24volt cigarette lighter socket. So you will be able to take and use your existing Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D vehicle power cable.
Should you require any other accessories for your Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D you can view them all online here.
Additional mapping options can be viewed and purchased online here.
Question: Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D Automotive GPS Receiver. If I do not have a dab radio in my car, will the traffic update feature not work?
Answer: The Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D Automotive GPS Receiver works independently from your vehicles audio system. So as long as you have the correct Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D vehicle power cable/traffic receiver namely the GTM36 (using FM signal) you will receive traffic information.
You can purchase either cable here via the Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D accessory page.
Question: I want to update my nuvi 3598 but got a message telling me there was not enough space? Not very good with technology, but wonder if you could explain how I get round this one? I may have updated it once before since I bought it, or maybe I haven't.
Answer: We have no involvement with Garmin downloads.
Mapping updates that we sell come supplied on preloaded SD/microSD Card. These SD/microSD Cards are simply inserted into your nuvi 3598 sat nav and the data is then read from the SD/microSD Card. This method does not affect the memory of your nuvi sat nav.
