How long until the next update? Discuss ...

Just started downloading 2024.10 from Garmin.

7.16.0.0 as of a few minutes ago. I use Windows so I assume something may be available for Macs as well.

Details seem to be

Fixed an issue with critical software updates not requiring a restart before a map update.

Extended timer to prevent failure for installing maps to the computer.

Fixed a crash when saving a music folder path manually.

Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

Has anyone tried Garmin's new Dash Cam Live?

Beginning July 1, 2023, Garmin map updates will be discontinued for certain Australian and New Zealand Nuvi and Zumo automotive navigation devices. The list of devices is rather lengthy but at least for the time being this change only applies to Australia and New Zealand.

Garmin has introduced a new series of products designed for those that travel in groups such as motorcycle clubs and off-roaders called the Tread series. These features include two-way communication and companion tracking.

I am needing help with proximity alerts not working. I have always used TourGuide in my files with no problem except that poi files like QuikTrip in Dallas or other cities where there's a lot of stores,my garmin is going off constantly. I usually have it set for 2 or 3 miles.

I made the mistake of updating my map from the 2018 version to the 2023.20 region but then lost my voice commands. Apparently I have to install the FULL version instead of a region however I need a uSD card for the latest version.

Hi All.

I have a NUVI 3590 and use the "Tongue" mount with the Ball & Socket.

The Ball keeps popping out of the socket so darn easily, it pops loose if I hit a large pothole.

Plus the "Arm" with the socket seems to droop and needs to be tightened up somehow.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to tighten things up with these ball and sockets type mounts?

Thank You !

Guys, we spent some time road-tripping this past week and I took my DS61 along to guide us. I can't say I have ever noticed this attribute before, but what are the blue green (teal) tracks that show up on the screen all the time? Adjacent routes? (This is not the light blue trip history track.)

You can see it in this photo from Garmin:

Was hoping for a new set of maps.. but perhaps next year.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays 2022 to all

I went for a new job, but Garmin said no such address found luckily it was in google maps. I have never had this where Garmin could not find an address Once I got to my location, I was able to just save it. I thought about it if that happens again, I should be able to take the longitude and latitude coordinates even if it's not in the map correct? I tried it.

Garmin Express 7.15.2.0 is available for download. No issues installing it.

As of 01 Dec 2022, all my devices are showing that a new time zone map is available.

Just bought a Drivesmart 86 on a Black Friday sale, and I'm having trouble with Photolive on the map while driving. When enable it, I gets a caption "No cameras ahead on this road". I can tap on "find cameras" and it will find cameras, I can view them, save as a favorite, etc but I can't view them on the map even if I have a route set.

Is it advisable to update Map install to the latest version? I may be wrong but i thought there was something about installing maps that would not work with the latest version.

I saw a member name that I didn't recognize so I clicked on him (her?). His Factory id number is 400037. 400037! This place is awesome.

I am considering upgrading our Garmin DriveSmart 60's. One feature of the 60 that I really like is its ability to change to Portrait or Vertical orientation.

I downloaded the Garmin DriveSmart 66/76/86 Owners Manual and this is what it says:

Display Settings
Select Settings > Display.
Orientation
Allows you to set the display to portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal).

Here me out please, I bought a 12 year old truck that has a special mount drawer on the dashboard that has a Nuvi 750. The car was imported USA to Canada. So the maps had old data and home address. Excitedly I performed a master reset and everything was gone. I started getting acquiring satellite with a "?" On the anchor.

I somehow managed to delete the vehicles I had installed on my Zumo XT and I've been trying to find them again. I thought there were more vehicles installed as default than appeared after I reset my device.

Can anyone tell me what vehicles appear installed on their Zumo?

Any motorcycle srf files gratefully accepted.

Thanks
