A:AnswerSmartphone Link is a free mobile app that connects your nüvi 2597LMT with your iPhone® or Android™ smartphone. When paired, your nüvi 2597LMT can use your phone’s existing data plan³ to share information — such as where you parked, POIs and your destination.
Smartphone Link also gives you access to Garmin Live Services, useful real-time information such as weather and traffic conditions. Garmin Live Services are available free and by subscription.
A:AnswerActually, Chromebooks are not compatible with our update application, Garmin Express. Chromebooks run Google Chrome operating software.
Garmin Express requires a PC or Mac computer running Windows Vista SP2 or newer, or Mac OS X 10.8 or newer. Unless, you've installed a Windows operating system on the Chromebook. However, this has not been tested as compatible.
