Garmin talk

First of all, a special THANK YOU to POI FACTORY and especially CraigW. This is a first class site with first class people whose generosity is priceless.

Anyone ever had this happen?

Few years ago, I was traveling through WV at dawn, on I-64. The highway was empty. The Venture was set to display the 'highway' graphic view. At one point, I notice a vehicle coming towards us on the display. Sure enough, there was one vehicle traveling west as I was traveling east. As it passed my window, it passed us on the gps.

I've collected a number of custom waypoint icons and included them in my Custom POIs. These were sent to my DriveSmart 61 using Garmin POI Loader. That all worked well.

Well this is ridiculous.

I have a Garmin nuvi 2370 with 2013.10 map version and would like to know what specific JCV file(s) should be used. I currently have a memory card with a folder name [.system] listed as a subdirectory under GARMIN and it has two files (D3192050A.JCV - size: 156,995 & D3373040A.JCV - size: 171,586) and I do get junction views.

Has anyone used the Garmin BC 40 Wireless Backup Camera? If so, how good is it?

Am trying to load and customize POIs but i cant figure what the maximum or best distance to put in for in terms of distance e.g the Truck stops and Walmart POIs are not giving me the alert and i have 1650 Feets currently set but not arlerting.

Drivesmart 61 version 6.0 is available via Garmin Express.

Changes made from version 4.50 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.

I thought I read here that someone bought a Beanbag Mount that had a "Silicone" pad on the bottom. If so, could someone tell me the brand name and/or the model number?

I have custom icons for speedways and red light cameras. When I migrated from my Drive Assist 50 to my new Drive Smart 55, the Icons are now TINY! Any idea if this is a known issue? Or was is just designed this way to not take up as much space. The speedway logo is now just about the width of 3 lanes of highway!

I've used BaseCamp Ver. 4.7.0 to create many waypoints for an upcoming trip. Each waypoint has a text description in the Notes to remind me of what will be found at that waypoint. I have then collected related waypoints in Lists named things like "Castles," "Distilleries," and so forth, then exported each list as a GPX file into a 22 uniquely named folders.

For those who may be interested, the New England Riders BaseCamp PC and MAC Tutorials have been updated in early 2019. Thanks to Gérard Friedman we now have a MAC version translated to French.

While these were developed for motorcyclists and the Zumo line they should be useful for other users as well.

Saw that an update was avalible for the iPhone so I thought I'd check for Android. The "store" had an update button.

Not sure if it's truly new but I am up to 2.9.8. b30 now.

Garmin Express v6.13.1.0 is now available to download.

I been trying to add some new POI files I down loaded from the factory.

I just saw that a new version of Garmin Express(6.13.0.0) is now available. So, that made me wonder, do most people here update Garmin Express as soon as you know a newer version is available or do you wait and do it just before you need to for updating maps?

Changelog of the four changes below:

Hi, Basecamp 4.7 not working at my HP Laptop Windows 10, what can I do for fix it. thanks

Garmin Express v6.13.0.0 is ready to download.

I’m trying to create a virtual USB for using Garmin Basecamp with my purchased Gamin maps, and several sources pointed me to JaVaWa Device Manager to help the process along.
