I was trying to find out how to get "arrival time" to display on my Garmin Nuvi but this was not covered. Nor is it covered in the "Garmin Nuvi 2597Lmt Owners Manual" dated 2014-12-11. It's a feature I loved about the Garmin but was lost about 8 years ago and I couldn't find out how to get it back. I got a clue when you mentioned about clicking on the "N" symbol to select "Elevation". It would have been good to show what other options were available.

One thing you need to know and I found out is - you will have to update you version of Garmin Express to the latest version. I put my new 2597 LMT on my laptop but my old version of Garmin Express said it was up to date, but the map detail told me differently. It said 2014. After I updated Garmin Express it downloaded the soft wear and map updates like it should. My map detail now reads 2022.10, the latest update for the 2597.

@@m.d.taverner616 This happens when you plug the power cord in after the GPS is ON. You should turn off the GPS and plug the cable in and let the cable power ON the GPS. The reason is that the GPS needs a few seconds to sense the cable traffic compatibility and sometimes the message appears before the GPS has fully detected the cable type. If the GPS is in OFF mode when you plug in the cable, it has enough time to sense the cable type during the bootup.
