Garmin talk

On a Windows 10 machine, I found about 70 folders at the location C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Garmin_Ltd._or_its_subsid\express.exe_Url_44vgoklnmwzol3f5bx0zhrwgflwejvvx. The folders correspond to the versions of Garmin Express that I've used.

They aren't large, 4K generally, but can these be deleted? Each folder contains a file named user.config.

Anyone with $3100.00 in their pocket that they don't know what to do with, might be interested in Garmin's newest Marque carbon fiber golf sports watch.

I like golf but not that much!

Hi All. I was trying to update update the maps on my Nuvi 3590.

I updated GE to the latest version and plugged in my 3590.

GE just does not recognize the Nuvi for some reason. I've never had a problem in all of the ast years.

I am finally taking the DS86 on a trip with 8 routes.
Two issues are bugging me already!
1. Although the planner shows work areas, today I went through more than 12 in IL, MO, and KS. ONE warning out of the whole mess.
I am using the included cable. NOT my phone linked.

I use a Garmin NUVI 2797. I'm familiar with, and have used POI Loader many times. I am unable to get any help from Garmin.
Just recently opening POI Loader, the message "There is a problem with this GARMIN application" appeared. I have tried removing POI Loader, and re downloading. Same message. Same result Would appreciate comment from anybody who may have experienced this.

FB had this add for maps today.

I was navigating yesterday with OpenStreetMaps on my Garmin Zumo XT.

I received a message Continue to Weg.

Does anybody know the meaning of "weg"?

Can another owner of a Garmin DriveSmart 55 tell me how to access custom POIs on that device? I just bought a DS55 to replace my 15-year-old nüvi 250W. To access custom POIs on my nüvi, I’d go Where to > Extras > Custom POIs. I don’t see the equivalent of that on the DS55.

Is that because I haven’t yet loaded custom POIs? If yes, how do I get to them once I do?

Many thanks.

I need to calibrate my touch screen. However, once I start the calibration sequence the dots keep going over and over. I never get the calibration complete message. None of the touch buttons work so the only way I can get the calibration is holding the upper left corner when powering on.

I have a nuvi 205W with the latest software. Can someone help? TIA.

I am looking for maps that I can load onto my Garmin that show property ownership. OnX maps did, but they no longer sell the micro SD cards with that one them.

Polaris Ride Command shows property ownership, but they are an app for Android and Apple iOS smartphones. Are there any others that are currently available that will work with Garmin?

Garmin Express 7.18.4.0 ready for download. Resolves issue with Epix devices not being detected.

As posted above, can POIs be loaded on Garmin bicycle GPS devices?

Also, are Garmin Cycle maps actually just OSM maps?

I bought a new vehicle recently and when I was cleaning out the trade in, I discovered an old Garmin Eco-Route HD module plugged into the vehicle diagnostic port.

New update available 7.18.3.0 . Hopefully this is a prerequisite for the new map.

CN EU 2024.20 NTU released today

I was driving yesterday, and my wife was cleaning the area around the plug. She had to pull out the garmin power cable for a few minutes. Since the unit was powered on when I started the car, the garmin unit immediately turned off. From now on I am going to power the garmin unit on before starting the car, and turn the unit off when am ready to leave the car.

From the Garmin Forums:

Garmin Express No Longer Supports Windows OS versions 8 and Older
EXPRESSCUSTOMERCARE

EXPRESSCUSTOMERCARE
With the release of Garmin Express 7.18.0, support for Windows OS versions 8 and older is being dropped.

The latest version of Garmin Express, including 7.18.0, may still work on these older OSes.

GE for Windows 7.18.10 was just released. My personal advice is not to jump right in, especially if you have Garmin watches, hiking devices, etc. Garmin Forums seem to indicate that was the majority of issues with the previous version.

There is at least one report of a continuing problem with someone running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Tried running Extra POI editor v6.04 on Windows 11 and get a script when it tries to connect to Google Maps. Any fix for this, or a different POI editor program?
