Garmin talk

I have a Garmin DriveSmart 61 NA LMT-S.

When I travel the voice gets a bit annoying, so often mute her. The down side is I then don't get POI sounds.

Is there a way to mute only the voice and still get POI sounds? I guess I could remove voice files, but that seems a bit drastic.

Your recommendations always appreciated.

Just received a new nuvi 2689. I travel a lot by plane and like to keep my GPS gear in a protective case. Does anyone know of a case big enough for the GPS, cord and mount?

Thanks.

I am using nuvi 67lm.
In internal storage, under voice --> logs, there is a file called vpm_log_all.txt that takes up 48.1 mb of space.

Is there a way to disable this? This file contains every spoken directions, street names, destination.etc.

I just do not like how much space this is taking up.

All of the POI files from here work just fine except the Publix file.

All of the Publix locations show normally. The problem is that the selected Publix location can’t be set as a destination. The “Go To” option is dimmed and can’t be selected.

The OEM Publix locations can be selected and used normally.

What could be the problem?

Garmin Express v6.3.0.0 is ready to download.

I have a 3597 and just noticed the camera icon on the main screen.
Has it always been there? Is it a new feature? Did I do something to turn it on?

Anyway, I can't find any info or settings about it. When I touch it, it created a camera shutter sound. So it is doing something. Since the unit does not have a camera, I assume it is taking screen shots, but I have no idea how to access them.

updated my Nuvi 2797 with new map and now I dont have any school zone alerts. Not fond of the new lane view either

I have successfully downloaded the Truck Stops POI to my Garmin RV 660. However I can’t seem to download any icons.
This is what I’ve done so far that doesn’t seem to work;

1. I’ve gone to the icon page and click on the icon “Truck Stops”

2. It goes to the next page with the Truck Stops.BMB in blue

Have a Nuvi 52 with Base Map 5.01, Detailed Map dated 2017 and Software version 3.00.

Entered location name "Tullahoma" (located in TN, having a population of 24,494) and the GPS said... "No Matches Found". Tried using just the zip code 37388... and the same above results occurred.

My last GARMIN a 2689LMT has finally died. I am now totally only using a smartphone and Android-Auto.

I feel much better off. I have been using Google Maps and/or Waze almost exclusively for the past year, and only used the GARMIN in my 2nd car, now I'll be using my phone there also.

Based on this thread:

it seems time to create a list of Garmin GPS devices that offer Tunnel Mode.

What is Tunnel Mode? Here's an example (the left-hand device in the video):

Anyone know how Garmin Tunnel Mode works? I thought it might be Dead Reckoning, but my speed in the tunnel changed and the speedometer on the GPS unit did not. I have a Drive Assist 50 if that matters. Just curious how it worked.

I have been using my Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S for a few months now. What I really didn't give a whole lot to, when I bought it, is the Foursquare feature. I have noticed that sometimes when I search for something it seems to come from the regular Garmin source and other times it lists Foursquare.

Bluetooth connection from iphone still not stable with Nuvicam after almost three years. Even new version of Smart Link app for IOS has not fixed the issue. Sometimes it works for days and then all of a sudden it starts dropping connection. Then I have to go to Settings on Nuvi, disable Bluetooth and re-enable it to make it working again. Yesterday, it failed 5 times out of 10 times.

I am attempting to overlay a series of slightly shaded and transparent polygons built in Google Earth Pro (or any other method i can find) to represent geographic boundaries of Districts/Fire Zones for fire services.

Is there a way to create custom polygons on the map much like you see for parks, cemeteries, and golf courses? What I want to do is create habitat overlays for when I'm using it for bird watching

Model 265WT upgraded to map update 2019.10 without incident but "Recently found" list is partially Chinese (or similar) characters. Is a hard reset the only way to possibly fix the issue?

Currently in Mexico and have a question for someone who has the new map installed.

Could someone with this map version please see if there is a BRAND NEW bypass showing south of Guadalajara. It should go from Zapotlanejo southwest via Chapala and a small town Sta.Cecilia and then toward El Arsenal in the west.

Helping a buddy with a Zumo 350 install all of NA 2019.1 onto his device.

Got the NA Canada and Border states to go vai Express but Mapinstall 4.1.1. won't let me install the remainder to an SD card. Mapinstall is the current version.

My unit quit showing the % of grade when we are going up or down a grade......anybody else have that problem and if you did , how did you fix it?
