Garmin talk

Poi do not display on my Garmin DriveSmart 66 EX, they use to be displayed and now they don’t probably after an update.

I have tried everything I could think of, no success.

Anyone has an idea of the cause?

Thanks.

Any Ideas?

I had to switch to another surface pro (windows 11 rather than 10), when I attempted to download my favorite poi files, I discovered they are not showing up in my Garmin file folder. The previous week is still reflected in my poi file folder. Any suggestions? Is the problem in my poi factory download process or is it in the downloaded file process?

I recall looking at a RAM 1500 some years back and it had an in-dash Garmin. I thought it would be pretty nice until I heard how much it would cost to update the City Navigator Maps on it.

at least for my nuvi 2689

My wife and I are on the road in our RV. This morning, we were looking for 21 Campers Circle, Ashland City TN 37015, which is the campground we are staying at. I found it interesting that my Garmin DriveSmart 65 (with Amazon Alexa) using City Navigator could not find it. Google Maps did find it.

My wife and I are on a road trip right now in our Jayco RV. I have the Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa navigating as well as Google Maps on a Sony XAV-AX8000. They definitely do select some different routes. Usually they are just minor differences, though.

Hello everyone, as you all have try ed factory reset as i did also after garmin support said, my old bc40 stopped working after a couple years, so i brought a new bc40 camera, i couldn't get it to connect, after getting frustrated, i went into add a new camera, instead of unsparing the one that didn't connect for some reason it was listed, ok go to add new camera, go through the steps again, mine

I posted on here recently that there are no displayed speed limits while using Open Map Chest. I got that from the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) area of the Open Map Chest website. However, I have noticed that speed limits are displayed on the screen while driving with my Garmin Nuvi 3597.

Garmin is currently running a sale with significant savings on many products.

The Epix Pro 2 Sapphire smartwatch caught my eye at 50% off:

I've been trying to refine a long trip, so that I can better predict where I'll be stopping for the night. We're having a family gathering and my techie son & son-in-law got into a discussion of how Copilot was helping them do things in their respective jobs and it gave me an idea.

Any old timers still remember this?

I really miss a Microsoft Streets & Trips Trip Planning feature. You could schedule a stop every 2 hours or so for a set period of time. It wasn't perfect, since the stops could be away from a rest area or gas station. It gave a decent approximation of where you might end up by the end of the day.

I have added several maps on my Garmin Zumo XT. How can I rearrange how they are displayed?

My first pages is three map choices.

The second and third page offers four map choices.

I would like all four of my BBBike maps on the same page.

I would like another page of City Navigator Maps.

Another page can be the remainders.

I have never paid much attention to the Garmin GPS Simulator Mode until today. I used my Nuvi 3597 and my Driveluxe 51, with as many settings as possible configured the same, but using different maps. It is interesting to see how they compare to one another even on the same route.

I have had an old Garmin Nuvi 500 for a number of years. It doesn't get much use and can I no longer update City Navigator NT. (Maybe there is a workaround.)

Anyway, I added Open Map Chest Midwest by downloading it onto my computer and using Garmin BaseCamp to install it on the Nuvi 500. It works great.

Just a reminder for anybody that hasn't used these recently (or ever), Garmin MapSource does still work. In fact, I used it today to switch from City Navigator North America (CN NA) to OpenMapChest (OMS) US Midwest. MapSource makes it very easy to toggle between two maps and see what the differences are between them. I like having the POIs/business names display on the map.

What would cause the listed or registered Devices get wiped off from the GE Home screen? No apparent harm done. Just curious about this phenomenon.

Now that my Garmin Nuvi 3597 can no longer be updated to City Navigator 2027.10, I am giving some thought to their 30% offer on a replacement. The biggest Display Size in the models offered is 8", which is the Garmin DriveSmart 86. The 30% offer brings it down to $244.99. My wife and I own an RV. We currently use a Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa in there.

Updated my Drivesmart 55. Failed once

Hello,

Where do you store the sound files on the DriveSmart 76 For custom POI files? Do I have to create a new directory on the unit or the removable memory chip installed on the unit?!

TIA!!......
