Garmin talk

Is there any way to limit the distance that the SmartPhone App will send weather warnings to the GPS? Right now it sends warnings from over 100 miles away and not even in the direction I'm traveling or my destination.

I have looked in the App and on my Garmin (RV760) and can't find anything to change or set.

Does anybody here have any thought on whether we will ever see a replacement for the Garmin Monterra? I have always wanted one, but I also always thought that they were overpriced. With Garmin no longer supporting newer versions of Android for it, it seems destined to die, much like their Garminfone and Garmin Nuvifone did.

After almost ten years it's time for me to retire my Garmin Nuvi 1450. What's a good replacement for it? My needs are simple: all I need is a newer model that does the same thing a 1450 does. I don't need anything fancy-schmancy; for example, I don't need bluetooth or wifi.

I have downloaded and installed into Basecamp, OSM topo maps for several regions in the United States.

The Install Map command in Basecamp, will allow me to install only one of these maps to the SD Card at a time. When I repeat this operation with another map, the previous map is deleted from the card.
Is there a way to install all the maps to a SD Card using Basecamp?

Somebody has to start as to when 2019.3 will be released!

I added the N Carolina, S Caroline, NJ, Vt, Maine state police and highway patrol files and then proceeded to update my poi files favorites but it errored out every time. Same result with another gpsr and another computer. On one computer, after i deleted the Maine state police file, the update of my poi files worked ok, but not on the other computer.

Given many of the new garmins support wifi for map updating, is there some way of access the internal storage via wifi?

My oldest sister just turned 70. We live pretty far apart. She is in AZ and I am in MN. She asked me to update her maps on her Garmin Nüvi 55, which I have done. I will return this to her tomorrow.

any body know how to install new map in garmin drive 51 I bought from usa and it has only usa map I try to installed unlocked map but it shows wrong map .any body help me please.

I WANT TO INSTALLED CANADA MAP BECAUSE IT DO NOT HAVE CANADA MAP.

One of these days my old Nuvi 650 will die. In anticipation of this, I periodically review the Garmin website to review available GPS models.

One feature that I do want, is a Bluetooth enabled GPS that will "speak" through the radio of the car. The product specs simply speak of making a Bluetooth connection through a smartphone. We do not have a smartphone.

A message started popping up on my 2699Lmt that the cable was not right for traffic, does the traffic antennae’s in the cable go bad? Never had this happen before Thanjs for your feedback

In order to more easily obtain a reliable source for the large JCV file, I'm thinking about buying an older Nuvi and buying a Garmin lifetime map update subscription.

My question deals with which of the older Garmin Nuvis natively downloads the large JCV file, currently D3060270A.jcv for 2019.20, as part of the update?

Can some folks report back if your units have the orientation option in display settings or not.

Garmin support indicates the device supports portrait mode, however the actual unit I have in hand (with current firmware) does not.

Garmin Express is now available.

Garmin Smartphone Link 2.9.3 for iOS was released yesterday. Installed without problems.

Release notes say "We have further improved the stability of the app. Enjoy your drive!"

Although I don't yet need it, I've installed a 8 GB microSD card into my nuvi 2689. Prior to insertion it was formatted (FAT32) in a Windows 7 PC using a card reader. Is there a way solely via the GPS to determine if the card is functional?

I have not updated my maps to the new map.
When I try to make a trip with way points, things get screwy. At first things worked OK. Then things went south.

A few minutes ago, I downloaded the pure-gas.csv file (1,503,743 bytes) from POI Factory and POI Loader said there was a formatting error on line 418. I opened the file with Notepad and Wordpad but didn't see a way to find line 418 (I primarily use Linux and only use this MS Windows box to update Garmin maps).

Hi all,

I just got a new DriveSmart 61 NA LMT-S to replace my old Nuvi 2689. So far I am happy with the new GPS except for one thing, I can not figure out how to have that thin blue line appear on the map while I am driving. I like knowing how I got to a place.

Let's have this thread track the availability of the large JCV file that goes with NA 2019.20 that became available today, 6/20/18.

Nine messages after this one, tli has provided the information. Many thanks to him (her?).
