Does anybody know the meaning of "weg"?

How to access custom POIs on Garmin DS55?
Can another owner of a Garmin DriveSmart 55 tell me how to access custom POIs on that device? I just bought a DS55 to replace my 15-year-old nüvi 250W. To access custom POIs on my nüvi, I’d go Where to > Extras > Custom POIs. I don’t see the equivalent of that on the DS55.
Is that because I haven’t yet loaded custom POIs? If yes, how do I get to them once I do?
Many thanks.
Touch Screen Calibration Never Ends
I need to calibrate my touch screen. However, once I start the calibration sequence the dots keep going over and over. I never get the calibration complete message. None of the touch buttons work so the only way I can get the calibration is holding the upper left corner when powering on.
I have a nuvi 205W with the latest software. Can someone help? TIA.

Garmin Maps That Display Property Ownership
I am looking for maps that I can load onto my Garmin that show property ownership. OnX maps did, but they no longer sell the micro SD cards with that one them.
Polaris Ride Command shows property ownership, but they are an app for Android and Apple iOS smartphones. Are there any others that are currently available that will work with Garmin?

Powering the Garmin unit on before starting car
I was driving yesterday, and my wife was cleaning the area around the plug. She had to pull out the garmin power cable for a few minutes. Since the unit was powered on when I started the car, the garmin unit immediately turned off. From now on I am going to power the garmin unit on before starting the car, and turn the unit off when am ready to leave the car.

With the release of Garmin Express 7.18.0, support for Windows OS versions 8 and older is being dropped.
The latest version of Garmin Express, including 7.18.0, may still work on these older OSes.

GE for Windows 7.18.10 released
GE for Windows 7.18.10 was just released. My personal advice is not to jump right in, especially if you have Garmin watches, hiking devices, etc. Garmin Forums seem to indicate that was the majority of issues with the previous version.
There is at least one report of a continuing problem with someone running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Apparently Garmin has discontinued POI Loader
When I tried to download the current POI Loader from http://www8.garmin.com/products/poiloader/ I got this: "Sorry, we can't find that page." I then tried searching the Garmin website for POI Loader, but there were no results.

GTM 60 / HD traffic...gone?
A while back, I noticed that I was no longer receiving traffic updates on my nuvi 3490LMT...has HD Traffic gone the way of the Dodo? I can not even find anything in the "Subscriptions" area of the Garmin website to try and activate a new subscription.
In-Dash Garmin Nav Systems
Some in-dash infotainment systems use Garmin for navigation.
Custom POIs can sometimes be installed on these in-dash systems using Garmin's POI Loader software via a memory card or disk.
In other cases, custom POIs might require an alternative process or not be available.
Discussion threads for some makes/models are linked below.
