DriveSmart 86: locking the backup camera guidance lines
When I used my DriveLuxe with Garmin BBC30 backup camera, the device offered an option to adjust the guidance lines displayed on the image when the camera is active and then lock them. That locking ensured that an accidental touch to the screen does not inadvertently start guidance lines adjustment.

For those of you who use Up Ahead, are there any categories that you wanted to choose as one of the three Up Ahead categories but your unit doesn't list, or any Custom Searches that you tried but didn't work?

New Garmin Auto Products
Today the Garmin Newsroom announced two new Garmin Drive GPS that will be available to order on September 14. They are designed to be wide, but with a low profile.
They have a 12 V adapter and USB-C® to USB-C cable for power. They don't have a manual on the website so I don't know if it can be powered directly from a USB-C port.

To finish the software update, you need to restart your device.
1. Unplug your device from the computer.
2. After 5 seconds, plug your device back in to the computer.

The problem with using a Garmin GPS
The other day I was reminded why I always carry a phone gps back up. I was looking for directions to a new LIFETIME gym location about 8 miles away. It had only opened about 8 months ago. Of course it was not in the Garmin database, it was too new. Often addresses , especially businesses older than a few months or even 2 or three years , are not on their database.

First negative route
Went from Mt Airy NC to a NC location nearly 2 hours away west of there , not in a town, along a river. Route ended up going north up through Virginia, then west - as there were no E/W roads in that area of northern NC.

Garmin Nuvi 360 215 MB free of 1.87 GB

nuvi 2595 - Where to - Categories
I just download the latest map update from Garmin for this unit.
When I go to "Where to" for all the different categories, the results are businesses for specific area which is 100's of miles from the designated "Searching Area"
Is their a specific file which can be deleted and replaced with the file from my nuvi 2689?
Garmin does not support this unit anymore.
Thank you
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.
