From Garmin website:
Notes:
•This setup will install / pre-load all Garmin USB Drivers on your system and upgrade older versions if found.
•These drivers are designed for use with those GPS units that support USB transfer of data to/from the PC - not to include the iQue. This setup also includes the drivers for the USB Data Card Programmer.

Message from Smartlink
I guess there is a first time for everything. Driving to work today a message banner came across the top of my 2797, "small craft warning"
![]()
Anybody else had strange messages pop up?

SOX file
Where can I locate a version of SOX that will work with Win 10. When my computer crashed, my back-up did not save this file. I don't know why it didn't; it saved pretty much everything else, but I have no SOX file. Any help would be appreciated. (I tried downloading it from Rapidshare, but I can not get it to open.)

Deleting saved locations
I seem to recall, on one of my previous Garmins, I was able to delete/remove locations that I had saved. However, I am unable to find a location where I can do that with my DS50. Any suggestions?
Regards,

Where To screen missing icons
Not sure how it happened but the Where To page on a Nuvi 2598 somehow is now missing all the icons. Anyone see this happen before? Is there a way to get the default icons back on this page?

GTM36 confusion (rusted USB connector)
I stupidly let my USB connector get rust in it when some snow was on the floor mat. It wasn't plugged into anything.
I have tried to get used replacements from Feebay, but keep running into issues.
1. I got one that had a straight mini-USB plug, but I have never seen that, The label on the 12V section looks as though it may have been pried from another unit. Not sure of that.

Another Garmin file mystery .... Jeff.BIN
Here is another Garmin file mystery. I noticed this on the refurbished Driveluxe 50 LMTHD I recently purchased. There is a folder named JOURNAL and within that folder is one file named Jeff.BIN. Size is 32K. This file was on the original backup I made when I first took the DriveLuxe out of the box. It had an unusual date of 12/31/2025.

Which takes priority for traffic between smartlink and built-in traffic receiver?
Is there a way to change voice prompts when navigating?
Thanks in advance.
