Garmin talk

Just logged in to review some of Norwood's tutorials and I get a video not available, private. What's up with that?

Hi,

Anytime I use GPS and I’m coming home from I40,
The GPS has me take a road that is not grey (indicating a gravel road) that frankly I did know was there, so I didn’t take it.
Last time coming home from Asheville, there was no traffic so I slowed down to see this road.
You gotta be kidding me! It’s a dirt road in the middle of a cornfield!

My 2699 was updated to the latest N America 2023.20 on the SD 32GB card and has 2.35GB free out of 7GB internally.
Can I delete GarminJVC files in the nuvi 2699 folder, there is a JVC folder on the SD card? Are there any other files to delete?

Hi All.

I would like to know what the absolute "Best" / "Top of the Line" Garmin automotive unit is right now?

It seems that Garmin isn't putting out as many new models as they used to.

Thanks !

I have a Garmin Zumo XT and a friend of mine just bought a Garmin Tread-Base Edition. They look very similar to one another. So, I entered the two into this and found there are a few differences.

Hi,
Please excuse my ignorance, but I am new to this.

I have just purchased a new Drive 5 plus (to replace my old Nuvi).

The warning 'Bong' when I exceed the speed limit or when approaching speed cameras etc, is very quiet (compared to my old Nuvi).
I have all the volumes set at max. The voices are all fine....just the warning 'bongs'

I read through the license for the Lifetime Maps Updates and was surprised that a Garmin unit will lose its Lifetime Map License if it has been over 2 years since the last map update.

I did the most recent software update for my Drivesmart 86. Now I have (2) white oblong 'backlights' coming from the back of the screen at both bottom corners. Not bright enough that I can't read the screen, but still something I haven't seen before and wanted to make sure that I don't have a problem with the 86 going bad.

Hi Guys,
sorry I've not been here for very long time, but one of the things I learnt from you clever fellows was how to personalise the splash screen on my Nuvi 310. (I put my name and address on mine).

As I have moved house I would like to change the screen on my Nuvi, but I've racked my brains, googled my fingers off and I can't figure out how I did it.

I have two units a Garmin Drive 52 and a DriveSmart 5. The Drive 52 responds quickly to screen input. The DriveSmart 5 is very sluggish. Sometimes it freezes. Other times it is very slow to respond to screen input (30 seconds or more). At times it responds better to input from a stylus rather than my finger. The unit is a few years old, and I had the battery changed by a service center.

Lane assist with junction view (displays junction signs) DOES NOT WORK 99% of the time. I Upgraded ha) from a 760, the LA worked 99% of the time even with small junctions.

I just got an email about the new 7" Garmin with a DriveCam and Navigation functions. $449.99 seems steep. Are there any takers?

I did a dumb thing. I somehow uninstalled Extra POI Editor.

I wasn't perfect, but it still worked.

Does anyone have a link where I could download it?

This is very curious and I wonder what your thoughts are. There's an eBay seller whose seller name starts with likenew... offering many used Garmin devices for sale. Right now, there appear to be 51 Garmin GPS auctions offered, some auctions with multiple units listed. The seller has feedback of over 7000 and has been on eBay since 2012.

On a recent drive across Pennsylvania, I experienced a navigation error with my Driveluxe 51 that I have never seen before. I left Pittsburgh and used the "Home" option to create a route to my home location just east of Scranton.
