short freeze ups Garmin DriveSmart 61
I have a Garmin DriveSmart 61. On this GPS when you are using the touchscreen what you touch is highlighted in orange for a couple seconds (see the photos at the links below) then it completes the task.
When I touch a command now it tends to freeze, what used to be a couple seconds can be a minute or more now. It used to be once in a while, but now it's more frequent.

Traffic no longer works on Nuvi 2689
All of a sudden I notice I am no longer getting traffic on my 2689. When I plug my older 2597 spare into the same traffic cable, traffic is available. I forget the cable # but it is the extra one purchased specifically for traffic, and it was working just fine.
From a traffic inquiry I get a message to the effect: The traffic cable is not compatible........

ATV Custom Vehicle Icon
It has been quite some time since there has been discussion of custom vehicle icons on here. Now that I just set up my Garmin Zumo XT on my ATV, I am interested in getting an ATV icon. Does anybody know where I should check for an ATV icon? Many of the URLs from some years back are no longer active.

Garmin Express 7.6 (Windows) recalled?
I fired up an old laptop for some Windows updates and after doing all that, decided to update Garmin Express from 7.5 to the current 7.6. I was surprised that GE 7.5 said it was the lastest version. I then uninstalled 7.5 and downloaded GE straight from Garmin and ran it. It installed 7.5 and once again, showed no update to 7.6.

Garmin Drive 52 M > "Where To" > "Cities"??
Hi. I looked through the FAQ's, my owners manual, searched the internet and this website but couldn't find the answer. I apologize if the questions have been asked or the answer is obvious.
I recently bought a Garmin Drive 52M.
1.) Where is "Cities" located in the "Where To" interface?

Water Resistant Garmins
I have been shopping for a water resistant Garmin for use on an ATV. It looks like Garmin uses IPX ratings. I gather that the higher the number on an IPX rating, the more resistant to water it is.
Right now I am still using my Garmin Nuvi 500. Yes, it does still work, but it has some limitations at this point.

about garmin nuvi display
I have 2 3597s. Somehow I have gotten them to display different menus. on the Where to? menu, one has Go Home, Address, Restaurants, Gas Stations, Shopping, Custom POIs, and Add Shortcut.
The other only has Add Shortcut.
The folders and files on each one appear identical.
I can access all of them by tapping Categories
How do I configure the Where To? screen???

Symbols not transferring to device
I was able to change symbols (pictures) on basecamp for my route. When I transferred my route onto my Garmin Drivesmart 65 it did not copy over my symbols. What is the most effective way of doing this without manually creating separate files for each POI. Does anybody have a good process for this?

RV 760 Update to 2022.10
I have attempted to update my RV 760 to map 2022.10 since the update was issued for most models. Garmin Express shows that it is up to date on version 2021.30. I read on an RV forum that there an issue with this specific model that has delayed the update. Does anyone have any information on this issue and when a solution might be expected?
Any insights would be appreciated.

Travel History Log file location
Hi Buddies!
I'd like to know if there is a way that I can retrieve old "Travel History Log" info from my Garmin Drive Smart 55.
I recall being able to do that on my previous device, a 2589LMT, but I can't seem to figure out on my current one.

Switching from US / North America to Europe
I had some issues the last time I travelled in the EU as I did not have enough data on my phone.
I was wondering if there were any issues in switching a US Garmin to EU?
I believe this is a one time region change.
Have you or anyone you know made the region switch>
Thoughts and input appreciated.
Garmin Dash Cam Red Light & Speed - Subscription Only
So I obviously have a Nuvi and a Drivesmart and download the Red Light and Speed Camera info from POI Factory but I was considering one of the Garmin Dash cams yet it doesn't look like it would accept POI Loader like the navigators do. The ad for the cams shows that it's a subscription service only.
