I have a new nuvi 2589 and have installed Garmin Express on my laptop. I went into My Maps in Google maps and save a .kml file to my laptop. Now I want to import it to the Garmin, how can I do that?

Thanks.

    This issue is not a Garmin Express issue so I will answer it but I will move this thread to a different forum. First, the nuvi 2589 is not a device that supports loading custom mapping. It may or may not work, but if you have trouble we really can't support it. We do have a couple of FAQs that describe loading custom maps onto a device. Please use the FAQs - "">What are some general guidelines when creating Garmin Custom Maps?">What are some general guidelines when creating Garmin Custom Maps?" and "">How can I create and load custom maps to my Garmin device?">How can I create and load custom maps to my Garmin device?".

    Hopefully this information helps.

    Thanks for the information. It is too bad it does not support it because it would be a great feature.
