Garmin Drive 52 Red Light Camera Alerts

This is my first post. Thinking of installing the POI-Factory Red Light Camera file on my new Garmin Drive 52 GPS device. This is my first Garmin GPS device and I am not sure if the Red Light file is worth installing. Will I get Red Light camera alerts using this POI file or do I have to pay Garmin to use their Red Light service?

DS-86 Downer

I just discovered that the DS-86 does not have a “Shorter Distance” navigation option.

I discussed this with Garmin Support, and they said that it was an engineering decision, but others had complained, and a case had been opened. He said that if enough complaints are made, it will be added.

DS 65 fails to start.. or just a black screen?

I have my DS65 permanently connected to the ACC power source (cigarette lighter). A connection that has served me well for several generations of Garmins. Unit starts up when I start the vehicle and (with a countdown) turns off with the vehicle.

nuvi 50 -Custom POI

I installed Custom POI with corresponding Map Icons using POI Loader.
These icons do not show up on the map.
Does this unit have the ability to show the icons on the map?

Request for Garmin Drive 52 highway exit screenshot

Been searching all over the internet for this and couldn't find it, so I'm hoping somebody here can provide a screenshot (or photo, either is fine.)

What I'm looking for is an image of what the US highway exit number looks like when displayed in the top green text bar, like this:

Garmin NA 2022.30 Map Update Watch

Given Garmin’s convention of naming updates one year ahead, the time is drawing near for the final map update of the year, 2022.30. Time is drawing short for Garmin to either “perform” or get off the pot with “perform” being used in a metaphorical sense in order to maintain forum civility.

Traffic Issue with NUVI 2555LMT

I haven't used my NUVI2555LMT for a long time, until recently.

I noticed that the Traffic Icon was Gray and when I tapped it, it said "The Traffic Receiver Power Cable is Disconnected"

When I looked at the Traffic Info on the GPS, it read "No Traffic Providers". I'm confident that my cable is OK, since it worked the last time, that I used the GPS.

Speed Limit Missing from nuvi 2597LMT

I recently purchased a used 2597 because my 57LM quit working and is not repairable. I updated everything on the 2597 and it works well except that the speed limit is missing. I have tried reinstalling the maps, hard resets and anything else I could think of, but the speed limit is still missing. The memory is nearly, but not completely full. I did not get a memory error when updating.

nuvi265W

Basecamp can not find this GPS
"You may also need to set interface option on your GPS to Garmin or Host"
How do I do this on the NUVI265W

Testing Dash Mounts

I do not like mounting my GPS to the windshield, and I don’t like leaving the GPS and/or any of its accessories in sight when the vehicle isn’t occupied. For me, that means some sort of dash mount to hold the GPS suction cup mount. I have had success with that method with several different dash mounts and GPS units.

GE and End of Useful Life, and Questions

In attempting to update my nuvi 765T to 2022.25, I got an error message from Garmin Express about the new maps having too much information to be installed on the 765T. I've been using an 8 GB card for map updates for some time, that card is just a hair over half-full, and the update to 2022.20 had gone flawlessly.

Garmin Inreach Communication

Does anyone here have, or have experience with, Garmin's Inreach Satellite Communication service?

https://discover.garmin.com/en-US/inreach/personal/

It's compatible with several Garmin handheld GPSr's. It requires a monthly subscription plan with varying costs depending on the level of service.

Lost in Space -or- empty City Navigator

If this is the wrong place to post, my apologies, please direct me to the appropriate one.

When you know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to recover....

My Garmin (2460LMT) now boots to an empty map. The screen shows my car, blue line traces for my recent travel, and POI icons (like Home), but no street map.

Windows 11

I just had a chat with Garmin Support and they said that if there is a problem running Garmin Empress or POI Loader on Windows 11, they will fi it.

Basecamp - Hide name

Is there a way hide the name of a waypoint and just show the icons? I’ve created a bunch of POIs and want to take some screenshots that just show the icons. If I zoom out it works but I’m looking for a way to change it in the settings. Thanks!

Garmin Nuvi 2589 LMT - Can't load maps

RESOLVED: BAD (NEW) SD CARD!

I updated my maps a few months back and Voice Command > Find Address stopped working.
Error says "This feature is not available for American English"

Since then, I can't get any maps to load except for CN North American NT 2022.20 Foursquare, which doesn't do me any good.
I have tried Change Map, Reinstall Map, changing cables, installing an SD card.

New GPSMAP 64s Firmware

Garmin recently released V6.60 for the Garmin GPSMAP 64s. It's been a very long time since the firmware has been updated.
