Wireless map update
Has anyone had much luck on getting the wireless map updates to work? Mine just searches for forever, and once in a while, when it is able to find an update, I get an error message saying “An error occurred during the update. The device is retrying. Press cancel to exit and try again later or update using Garmin express.”

Mounting A Garmin Nuvi 500 On Can-Am Outlander 450
My wife and I ride ATVs as a hobby. We both have Can-Am Outlander 450s. I do have a windshield-fairing on my Outlander. I have a Garmin Nuvi 500 that is not currently being used. I am giving some consideration to mounting it on the Outlander. For those that have used a GPS on an ATV, what mounting solutions should I consider?

Garmin Nüvi 855 Update Problems
I purchased a lifetime map subscription for my trustworthy nüvi 855 about 9 years ago. Since then I've always used GarminMapUpdater successfully to update maps, although I think I missed the previous update.

New GPS Satellites
Did anyone notice a huge surge in GPS satellites yesterday around 3 pm. All total there was a total of 55 satellites that my gps in my phone was bouncing off of. I am aware of the Galileo satellites which there are usually 12 and the regular gps satellites which usually number around 5 but was showing additional satellites with SBS, GLO, BDS, and QZS. Does anyone know what these are for?

Garmin City Navigator North America On Minnesota State Park Roads
I spent much of my afternoon yesterday in Banning State Park and, after dinner with my wife and mother in law, Saint Croix State Park in east central Minnesota. I was using my MIL's vehicle, which has a Garmin Nuvi 3597 and City Navigator 2020.10 installed on it. I was slightly surprised to find out what state park roads that did not show up on the device while I was navigating.

Garmin Admits Macs Are Out
Below is the original letter I received from Garmin about Drive 55/65 not being able to be mounted as a drive in Finder. Note the smoke they blew about a POI Loader problem that I didn't mention to them. Also note the lane and incorrect procedure to use POI Loader in the future.
Garmin 3597 Waypoints
Is it possible to save over 3,000 waypoints to the garmin 3597? My internal memory is almost full and need to figure out how to transfer some of it to a 32gb memory card and install the 3,000 waypoints. Is it even possible to store waypoints to a memory card? I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer. Thanks

DriveSmart 55 MTB
There seems to be a problem with the New Drivesmart 55, and may be 65. It seems you can no longer Mout the Unit as a Drive in you Finder(MAC) or your Directory(WINDOWS). It connects to Garmin Express and to Basecamp and you can do the usual stuff there. But without being able to mount as a Drive, you cannot get to a copy of the garmindevice.xml file to create a clone for map updating.

Class action lawsuit against Garmin
See https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-pro...
Seems like an individual feels that a device with lifetime updates, should also have sufficient hardware to accomplish those updates.

DriveSmart 65 (update available)
There is a DriveSmart 65 with Traffic software update available.
I installed it directly from the DS65 without using GE. It took about two minutes.
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.
