Garmin is having a "Summer Sale"

I own a Drivesmart 65 and just noticed they added Fuel Prices! They haven't had this option in years. Anybody have any thoughts on this and how they source their prices?

Does anybody here know a good place to get just the cradle for a Garmin Nuvi 50? The official Garmin website shows that it includes the suction cup mount, cradle and dashboard disc. All I need is the cradle.

Someone on Ebay had a too-good-to-pass-up price on a Drivesmart 55 Ex, so I bought one in spite of the possible challenges in gps-to-Mac connections. It works better than I had anticipated.

I foolishly let a "Garmin DriveSmart™ 55 & Traffic" fall onto an epoxy garage floor from about four feet, thinking it was snapped into its ring mount (it's a bit easy to release the plastic spring clip if a finger hits it). My question is whether it suffered any long term damage if it seems to work fine.

In ancient times (model 45, III+, V deluxe for example) there were some serious hardware memory limits. Garmin had some not-always-predictable limits to the number of track logs, points per log, and total points that were saved.

These days with memory as cheap as it is, is there anything other than physical memory space that limits the data saved on the unit?

With everyone in lockdown , will this effect the release of the next map update.

Hi

Thanks

Ok folks I have made some progress in getting POIs on to my 595. I have 2 questions:

I have a series of waypoints that I want to make into a POI, see SNIP please. These are all the Gas Stations I have in BC. In order for them to work in the 595 I need to use the larger ICONs. Is there a easy way to "MASS UPDATE" these current ones or do I have to do each one at a time.

Given our current quarantine situation, I have found myself going through some of my older electronic devices. I still have a Garmin Nuvi 350, 360 and 500. Usually I will update the maps on them, but not much more. Today, while checking the time on some devices, I decided that using a GPS might be a great device to use to synchronize clocks around the home.

What does list of es,fi,fr,etc. stand for in Garmin Express,or BaseCamp and can they be deleted.Thanks.

After installing 2021.10 with GE I noticed my hard drive was getting quite full.

There's a tempting DriveLuxe 51 on eBay right now from a Seller with good feedback. $83.20 with free shipping. Just search for:

Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S with North America Maps & Accessories TESTED WORKS

I hope someone buys it soon so that I don't Buy It Now as yet another backup for the one I already own.

I'm not a biker and have no need for one of these but it's sort of surprising that no one has one or at least asked about the new zūmo XT.
It's only mentioned once here and only because it was having a map update issue.

Like many folks who had previously been able to update maps to their Garmin GPS using its built-in memory, the latest maps don't fit on my Garmin Drive 50 LMT. So I figured out I needed to get a Class 10 microSHDC card. I installed a 32GB one, which is the correct maximum size allowed by this model per Garmin, in the correct slot in back of the GPS. I rebooted both the GPS and the PC.

UPDATE

Sometime in December while I was in Mexico I had a problem with my C:/Windows/Temp folder filling up for no reason to the point that my C:/ drive was completely full. Several members tried to assist me in solving this problem. I searched the internet for a possible solution, but nothing worked.

Hi Folks,

Is there a way to update MAPS in my 2008 CRV as it uses DVD for MAPS?

Thanks

Anyone else notice this? My DriveSmart 65 used to start up on its own in the middle of a longer trip every now and then, but now with the latest update, it starts up on its own even on very short trips. This is now happening every day, instead of every few months.

I took delivery of a 2019 Ford Edge recently and being stuck at home I thought I would see where I could mount my GPS and I have found a really handy place for my 2797 to go.

I have Garmin 3790T.
