Garmin talk

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.

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.

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.
