Garmin talk

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???

Is Garmin currently using USB-C ports on any automobile GPS devices?

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?

Does anyone know if you can mount a Garmin BC 40 camera with magnets without creating any adverse affects or product damage?

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.

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.

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.

Hello again, folks. I'm wondering if it's possible to update an individual state rather than entire US, as this would greatly lessen the size of the download. I didn't find an answer on the Garmin help site, so I imagine that's not possible. What say you? Thanks. Ed

Hello, all. My first post on this forum. I have an older Garmin (not sure of the age). According to “about” it appears to be model 5, not sure if that’s correct, but that’s what it says. Sometimes the device just won’t turn on, but then appears to fix itself and work normally for a while.

I think I have sufficiently confused myself enough that I need help.
For some reason my two 3597s are acting different. When I connect one to my PC I get a item in File Explorer labeled "Nuvi 3597" with a nuvi_drive blue triangle icon next to it, not a folder icon. There are 2 drive icons under that labeled "Internal storage" and "Memory card".

I just checked on My DriveSmart 55 and saw that there is a software update. The update size is 62 MB.

It lists several things that are being updated, and for a change a few of the items listed seemed as quite important and useful patches.

It says the following:

DriveSmart x5
Version: 9.30
File Size: 62 MB

we have 2x 2689LMT's, and one (in Wife's Car) I believe the battery died....

I changed battery in our old 660... Was a bit intense, but we were successful....

Is the battery in 2689LMT as easy or easier to swap ?????

May look into that before trip later this year....

Thanks for info!

Hello! For some reason, when I tap "Where to?" the next screen shows only "Dynamic Parking" and "Add Shortcut" icons. It's completely different than its always been (i.e. Go Home, Addresses).

Does anyone know what happened, and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

CN EU 2021.30 NTU was released a few days ago, Garmin have skipped CN EU 2021.20 NTU for reasons unknown.

For those of us who have a subscription to Garmin's Europe maps, Europe-EUNT 2021.20 has been released.

Sox.exe, as an installable program, is at ver 14.4.2. Sox.exe for POILoader is at ver 14.0.1
Is there a need to update?
How would one update with the installable version?
Would it be just a matter of installing it, then taking the SOX.EXE and copying to the POILoader install folder or is there something special about ver. 14.0.1?

Just downloaded New Garmin Express 7.5.0.0

CDC says many Americans can now go outside without a mask.

For the entirety of the pandemic I have not worn a mask outdoors. Every day I take a two-mile walk in my neighborhood for exercise and I have never worn a mask. Sometimes I meet or overtake another walker or runner and I seek to maintain a six-foot or more distance.

I just saw that Off Road Mapping is now selling Garmin GPSs with their preloaded VV Mapping already installed.

Can anybody here tell which 5" and 6" Garmins they are selling?

I think there is a bug in software version 7.80 on all nüvi 2x5 series and later model nüvi 2x0 series devices. The nüvi models affected will add to the turn distance randomly while just simply driving. For example, all my 2x5 devices and my 200W and 260W. I turn on the road. The distance to my next turn is 1.4 miles.
