DriveLuxe 51
EBay currently has a seller (with great feedback stats) offering two Driveluxe 51 LMT devices.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/285255272996
Offered at $80 but if you add it to your Watchlist, you may be sent an eBay email from the Seller offering a 5% discount.
It appears to be complete but if buying it, check to confirm that it includes the powered mount and power adapter.

Drivesmart 86 problem.
Drivesmart 86 owners, can you try photolive on your GPS and let me know if it works for you? I've been working with Garmin support on and off for months, and I would like to hear from one actual owner of this device that has it working or not. My GPS always says "no traffic cameras found", but I can manually select every camera in front of me and view it.

It it time for a new GPS? (voice directions stop working - Solved)
My most recent GPS for car navigation was a nuvi 3597. Suddenly it's become virtually useless for navigation.
- Having it navigate from home, I get verbal instructions on how to get out of my driveway and which direction to turn in at the end of the street. After that I get nothing verbal. The map shows which way to go, but the purple route track is usually not present.

New model — Garmin Drive 53
Garmin has released a new Drive model, the 53.
https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/1019429
It's available with and without traffic, and its map is the full North America plus a few Caribbean nations.
MSRP: $150
Its manual is specific only to the 53, a pleasant change compared to some manuals that cover multiple models with the advisory that some features only apply to some models:

Catamount Drive now blocked by second cattle fence
Mentioned a couple map versions ago, that Southbound of I40 in North Carolina, (Exit 20) on US 276, a few miles south is a newly added GPS aware road: Catamount Drive, a 1-2 lane gravel road that degrades to a dirt path through the middle a cattle pasture……. To a where a wooden corral fence blocks it ~1/4 mile down gravel/dirt road.. from access to the next available road: Return Drive.

Garmin Drive 51 Saved Waypoints using folder?
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to do this, On Basecamp I have a List named Houston with all the Houston waypoints. I have another List named Dallas with all Dallas waypoints. When I upload both lists to Garmin Drive 51, all waypoints are in the same list. Can I separate out those waypoints into different list or folders within the "Saved" app so that I can distinguish the waypoints ?

Garmin 1090 --- where do the POI's "go"?
All,
Do POI's uploaded to the 1090 show up as red entries on the 1090? I ask because I uploaded a bunch to my new 1090 and they don't appear as custom POI's in a new directory on the 1090. Thus, I don't know if they were uploaded or not. I speculate the red entries are the new additions but I don't know for certain.
Thanks for your comments/help.

although I haven’t verified if that is the case. See content at https://www.thedrive.com/guides-and-gear/garmin-gps-satellit...
Drivesmart 65 Incorrect Speed Limits
After last years update to my DriveSmart 65 I noticed that some sections of roads I travel started to display incorrect speed limits. Most of these are on 55mph roads that now show as 25mph. I notice this most often after a curve in the road. I don't like this because now I can't trust what speed limit is displayed on a road I'm not familiar with.
