FYI: Garmin Email: Account deleted in 3 Days!
About a month ago, received an email from Garmin that account would be deleted if not used.
At that time I checked our password file, and did not see an entry for Garmin website.
Today I get another indicating account will be deleted in 3 days if I don’t login.
So I tried, guessing. No Go!
So I asked to be emailed new password link and used email sent to me.

Garmin Drive App CPU Consumption Problem Seemingly Solved
In June '23 I reported the above problem and I believe that I was not the first. Today I received an email indicating that there is a new version and all is well. I think I noticed this perhaps >1 month ago. Noticing means recognizing the absence of Drive near the top of the list in Battery Usage in Android Settings.

DriveSmart 76 bug
I recently purchased a DriveSmart 76 EX. I updated it with the latest maps and the firmware (v6.80) was already the latest. But there is a bug in the firmware. When I am on an active route, the green bar at the top of the screen does not show the name or exit associated with the next action. It just says "Driving West" (or whatever direction you are driving).

Lost home page (on Nuvi 3597)
After my last update on my Nuvi 3597, I lost my home page. I went to input an address and the whole page is missing. It seems that all of my saved POIs are missing too. Does anyone know how to get it back.

Drivesmart65- socket broke?
I somehow managed to break the socket on the back of my Drivesmart65. I haven't had this for even a year.
I don't know if I have named the part correctly and I don't know if it is easily replaceable. It is where the ball end of the mount attaches.
Please help.

DS76 was dying
So, recently my DS76 started to suddenly dim the screen and tell me that the power had been lost and that it was going to shut down. I could touch "Cancel" and could keep going, but with bright sunlight and sunglasses, it was almost impossible to read the screen. Made for "Distracted Driving". This only happened on a hot day and when the DS76 was in the sun.

Looking At A Garmin DriveSmart 86
Wanting a larger screen, I have been looking at a DriveSmart 86. The only requirement I would want is Lifetime maps. Nowhere can I see if it has it or not. Anyone who has one, what are the pros and cons?

Garmin LMT (recommend a replacement?)
My Nuvi 3790 LMT has given up the ghost. What unit would be recommended to replace it? Is the life time maps still available? Don't care about the Traffic option. The Garmin based GPS in my Honda CRV is pretty good but doesn't give text to speech. It will say "Turn right" but my 3790 would say " Turn right on Main Street" Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Garmin Software and Walmart Locations
Does Garmin have an issue w/ Walmart resulting in 'spotty' marking of their locations? I have CNNA 2024 & some locations have a white shape showing the store & is labelled Walmart. Other locations will have the shape, but instead of the Walmart label, just a 'stack' of icons for the various businesses that are usually associated w/ Walmart stores.
Garmin trk*.bin files
The Garmin Alpha200 handheld has a directory path of Garmin/EDM/trkevt
In this folder are lots of trk(number).bin files.
Does anyone know how to open these files or convert them to GPX?
Thanks

So GE for W7-64
There was a post here indicating a certain GE version was last for W7-64...
I'm on W7-64 (Must stay there due to software running on this system is not update-able...)
I stopped updating GE at 7.17.3.0 and it still works.. Shows a TZ map update is available, and did update last maps fine on 2x 2689LMT's
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.
