Garmin talk

I have tried to follow the cloning process using an SD card. I have successfully created the files using the SD card and am now at the stage where it is advising that the names of files be changed.
The files that are recommended for change are
gmapprom.img
gmapprom.gma
gmapprom.uni

Hi,

Could you please show the most simple option to modify 2 ways road into one way road on new map 2024.20?

I'm waiting so long and it seems Garmin never updated the one way road on NA map; especially many one way roads were changed since many years.

Thank you.

P/s:
I did search on this forum even in FAQ from Garmin but still cannot find the solution.

I recently got the Minnesota OnX Hunt Chip and installed it in my Garmin Zumo XT. Since there was room on that micro SD card I added some additional maps. That gives me the following:

Garmin City Navigator 2024.20

Open Map Chest Midwest (Open Street Map)

Onx Hunt V 21.0

Garmin Cyclemap/Latin1 BBBike.org (Dec-2023)

Garmin North America DEM

Garmin National Parks V2

I have a Garmin Drive (will have to look up exact model number when I get back to my car) with lifetime maps, and I was curious how to tell if my maps include US Virgin Islands or not. Anyone know? Thanks!

I have a Drivesmart 65 w Alexa that died. It had a english voice Zoe that I liked. I'm going to buy another GPS to replace my dead Drivesmart. If the new series Drivesmart 66 or 76 have Zoe as a voice I will get one. If the Zoe voice is not on the 66 or 76 I will get another Drivesmart 65 w Alexa.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2595. I plugged in the power cord to usb charging port 2 days before attempting to use. Plugged into cig lighter in car, the start screen displayed "Garmin" and the warning and "agree" button, which i tapped. Screen then went dark, and stayed dark. After several attempts, I just left it plugged in and attached to windshield.

And after putting it all in it does not like something

This is pretty much what happened the other 2 times.

Give me email address or contact, that convoluted error report form is so complex it is trying to keep people from reporting.

Hello everyone,

I have successfully updated my Nuvi Drive 51 with the latest map City Navigator North America NT 2024.20

When I go into my GPS Under Settings MyMaps and I look at the installed maps beside the new 2024.20 version it still showing the 2024.10 version with a check mark enabled beside it.

The main menu has disappeared, there is not even a “settings” item when I press the “menu” button twice, I don’t see the items I’m used to, I can’t even open the settings item.

What can I do to return all the items if I can’t access the settings?

I have had my Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa for over two years. I really haven't used the Garmin Voice-Activated Navigation feature much. However, yesterday I used it and I found Toppers & More, which I could not find the traditional, non-voice way. I assume it is simply using the same POI list that comes on City Navigator.

My Express shows some time zone map updates on all devices as of this AM.

I have 2 3597s. I have just updated both and they are both configured the same. When I plug one (a later S/N) into my computer and open File Explorer.
I see:

This PC
nuvi 3597 == an unlabeled drive
Internal storage == a folder, .System & .jcv not showing
Memory Card == a folder
System (C:) == computer system folder

As the title says. I have multiple Garmin devices and the first one I always install on device and computer. How do I make Garmin Express use the already downloaded map instead of redownloading it again on subsequent devices. Yes I have it checked for device only.

For those that want/need the Garmin Large JCV file.

There are two files: D9673030A.JCV (749.7 MB) & D9674030A.JCV (77.7 MB)

New version of Garmin Express released. Has gone back to the old way of marking "Launch Garmin Express on computer startup" by default.

new NA maps released

Edit June 6, 2025: I finally have found a (simple!) solution to the problem described. Please, scroll to my final post in the bottom of this thread.
==================
I hope someone has resolved the same problem and could help.

As indicated in several other posts City Navigator NU 2024.20 has been released. Approx 8.09GB in size.
• Updated map data

As a reminder one can remove the downloaded files used for installation to free up hard drive space. See following link for general windows directions:

Never mind, I see on the interne that 2024.10 is the latest update. In the past they had been updating every 3 months, so I was concerned.
======================================================================
I have a Nuvi 55LMT, and Garmin Express had been delivering map updates routinely without problems. But the last update was 2024.10, back in February of this year.

I am giving some thought to getting a Garmin Smartwatch. For anybody here that has one, what do you actually use it for? Obviously, they will display the time, but then so does my Casio GWM530A-1.
