Garmin talk

I currently own two new Nuvi 67LM that I bought back in 2017 as my gps unit in my car. Although it is not the best unit, it gets the job done when it works. Lately, with everything up-to-date, both units would randomly reboot during trips and even tell me to make a u-turn on a highway. I spoke to tier 2 garmin rep a month ago when the issue first began.

Is there anyway to download favorites in bulk? I have over 25 and have to click each one to download to my PC if I loose them.

Not sure if this is a Basecamp or GPS question!

With my Saved locations on my GPS I sometimes assign a graphic Symbol. I've transferred these Saved locations back and forth to Basecamp trouble free from my prior 2557LM model and the distinct assigned Symbols stay intact.

Is there a way to set a destination from Points Of Interest?
For instance if I call up Best Western Hotels if will give me several screens of them that are close to my present location.
What I need is one several states away. I know I can enter another state and address to do this but would like to do this from within the opened POI. Is this possible. Using a Garmin 255W.

Hi,

Garmin Drive Smart 61

Does anyone know the total destinations that can be entered
using the "TRIP PLANNER"?
I put in a trip of 45 destinations and only 31 show and usable on a simulated trip.
Once the 31 are done then I have to go in and select the 14 to complete the trip.

Does anyone have real world experience with Garmin Real Vision feature? Garmin said may only work where applicable. I'm sure mileage may vary. Looks very cool in the Ad you have argument map on destination address.

I believed feature only applied to DriveAssist 50 and 51.

I don't think this has been reported yet. The DriveLuxe 51 has a couple of updates:

Software version 6.00 March 27, 2019:
Change History
Changes made from version 4.40 to 6.00:
-Added support for the new Garmin BC 40 Wireless Backup Camera.
-Enabled Galileo satellite support.
-Improved routing calculations.
-Improved the reliability of connections to Bluetooth devices.

Am I blind or has no one asked yet when the new 2020.20 map update will come around?

Hello.

What's the difference between the 3597lmthd vs the 3597lm? If I connect a gtm60 to the lm version, will it become a lmthd?

Thanks

Question. I was thinking about upgrading my 3490 (which I still love due to its size) for a Drive 55. When I went to CES, the resolution appeared to be the best with that model. Anyway, the website indicates that this unit comes with a •Traffic receiver/vehicle power cable but it does not indicate which one. Under accessories, it lists both cables as being compatible.

Tried to re-load Garmin POI Loader to my computer running Windows 10 and program does not install. I get a pop up window that says "Modify Setup" with options to "Uninstall" or "Cancel".'

It does load the desktop with an icon .... but that just takes me to the pre-mentioned screen.

What am I doing wrong??

hi, I've loaded my WPs using POILoader and also using ETE to my garmin 700 device successfully, i have verified that they have thier prox' set to 10m as i wanted. started the garmin and selected that route and started walking but execpt for the start point there was no alert. where did i go wrong ? is it possible to follow a route and get alert 10 meterd before each and every point ?
thanks,

I will be traveling to France, UK and Ireland this summer. I have a Garmin Nuvi 55LM, which is getting a bit old in the tooth and Garmin will not update the Europe map that I have that is many years old. I need a reliable Garmin to use in Europe, with update-able Europe maps. All suggestions appreciated.

Never seen this in a lot of years of Garmin use. Worked fine. Powered down, next trip, car was ?west of the road I was on - consistently stayed that way for a 2mi trip. After a power down and reboot, it was fine.

Normally it thinks its off in space, then corrects itself?

was on most recent firmware, will check again w garmin express....

Normally I have Garmin Bluetooth turned off on GPS
Because it fights with 2011 Ford Escape over the phone iPhone. It’s the latest firmware on iPhone 6, Smart Link, and Ford Sync for 2011 Ford Escape.

I have never used the BirdsEye Satellite Imagery Subscription. I know that there has been some sporadic discussion of it here in the past. None of my devices will work with this anyway. However, for those that do have devices compatible with this and have a subscription, how useful have you found it to be?

Hi Everyone,

Garmin Drive Smart 61
I have made some trips with "TRIP PLANNER"----> "NEW TRIP"
The trips are in my "SAVED TRIPS" screen.
Can I save them on the Micro SD and access them after I reset the unit.
Also can I share the trips in the Micro SD in another unit my friend owns.

Thank you

I was inspired by the post referenced below and some other previous posts the mentioned the Galileo GNSS. Honestly, much like others have posted, I don't need another automobile navigator. I have a Garmin Nuvi 3597, a DriveLuxe 51 and others. However, now that some Garmin devices have Galileo, I need to start paying closer attention to this.

My Nuvi 3790 will use the computer for power when connected by USB but I can not get it to show up as a drive so I can update the maps. Using a 2015 iMac and MacBook Air. Also have newest Garmin Express which can't see the Nuvi.

In the March 2019 edition of PC Magazine there is an article about the possibility of some GPS systems failing come April 6. Evidently something to do with resetting the timing stamp every 20 years. Anyone heard of this? According to the article any GPS systems built after 2010 should be fine or those that conform to the ICD-200 or GPS-200 specifications.
