Garmin Nuvi 2599 Has a Delayed Map Response

If your Garmin Nuvi 2599 has a slow response time when loading a map for directions, this page offers potential solutions.

Having multiple detailed maps enabled at the same time can slow down the device's processing. On your Nuvi 2599, navigate to Settings > Map. Choose Map Info or Configure Maps. Uncheck or disable any detailed maps that are not needed. Make sure that the "Worldwide DEM Basemap, NR" is enabled, as this is necessary for the basic map to function.

Outdated system software and map files can cause serious performance issues. To fix this problem, it is recommended to install Garmin Express on your computer and connect your Nuvi 2599 with the USB cable.

Your Nuvi may be slow if its internal memory is full. Use Garmin Express to back up and then delete your saved trip logs. Delete unnecessary files (including extra voice or vehicle files) to free up space.
