Garmin talk

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.

Garmin Express is showing map update CN NA 2019.20 as available. Downloading now, will update with results when finished.

Update (device and computer) for DriveLuxe 50 clone using Garmin Express 5.5.0.0 completed with no problems. Took about 50 minutes.

Device: Driveluxe 50
Firmware: 5.70 (most current as of right now)

Issue: I used to be able to push a route created in basecamp/mapsource to the device. Shortly after booting it would get imported and become a navigable route.

Hi,

On a trip last week our Nuvi 40 was burgled (and our handheld eTrex plus...) and I am about to replace the "40" My home is at about 6,250 feet above sea level and in my travels in the western US I am used to displaying the altitude and valuing it.

Several years back I would use Garmin mapping software that I downloaded when I updated my GPS devices. I know that Base Camp replaced it. What is the name of that and can I still get it somehow? Was it MapSource?

Has anyone done a POI file of Apple Stores?

I know that no one can answer this with certainty but what do you think would be the time before Garmin brings out new models of GPS? the models out now have been here for over a year. I need a new one but I just know if I get one now they will come out with something new. I looked at the DriveSmart 61 LMT-s at best buy and it's almost as big as an iPad mini. Plus it has some weird features.

Garmin DriveSmart 61 NA LMT-S GPS w/ Smart Features Refurbished 1 Year Warranty for $150 until June 18th. See https://www.buydig.com/shop/product/GRDRIVES61RB/Garmin-Driv... for the details.

Can I use my POI's from here and my current Favorites on this GPS?

As a pleasant change from Garmin's usual roll-out, the changelog data is available already.
