Garmin talk

I tried today to update my POI files, but I could not connect.
I tried 3 different cables, one was a Garmin cable.
All cables are able to charge the device.
I even updated Express to latest version.
I'm running Windows 11.
Anyone have a guess what is wrong?

My "Custom POI" icon on Garmin 50LMT has just disappeared!
Usually it is shown on the main page or in "Other Categories" but i cannot find it.
I tried installing new POI's using POI Loader but of course i get an error message because (i assume) the Custom POI is no longer on the GPS.
I've never had this problem before. Can anyone help?
((my software has the latest update))

Thanks

I have my Garmin Nuvi 500 connected and Garmin Express states: "You're up to date!" The maps details shows City Navigator Canada + Border States 2023.20. I would like to update it to City Navigator North America 2024.20, Is Garmin MapInstall the correct software to do that or was there another way?

And, as readers here might suspect, there is not much memory remaining on the device itself.

When I power up my Garmin Zumo XT, I get the message, "Maps are corrupt and cannot be used. Go to www.garmin.vom/express to download the latest maps. OK" I click OK and it seems to work fine. How do I delete that screen on power up?

Farmer has placed a bulldozer on the gravel road just inside the fence now blocking access to the road (That leads into the cattle ranch)

Now: IF Garmin had this road indicated as a gravel road instead of a paved road, this would be a moot point, but no.

Its about that time to start another map update watch discussion seeing as the last update was Nov 8th, 2023.

We went 280 days between 2024.10 and 2024.20. Trend over the last two years are two map releases per year. Will we see 2025.10 released in February? Or will we go another 250+ days between map updates?

I routinely use Garmin Express to update my various devices. Subsequent to updating my DS 65, I could no longer boot completely, normally or in boot loader (file transfer) mode.

I entered into the recovery menu and possibly one solution is to boot from an SD card. What files are required for the SD card, I possibly could copy from another DriveSmart that I Own?

I have tried to follow the cloning process using an SD card. I have successfully created the files using the SD card and am now at the stage where it is advising that the names of files be changed.
The files that are recommended for change are
gmapprom.img
gmapprom.gma
gmapprom.uni

Hi,

Could you please show the most simple option to modify 2 ways road into one way road on new map 2024.20?

I'm waiting so long and it seems Garmin never updated the one way road on NA map; especially many one way roads were changed since many years.

Thank you.

P/s:
I did search on this forum even in FAQ from Garmin but still cannot find the solution.

I recently got the Minnesota OnX Hunt Chip and installed it in my Garmin Zumo XT. Since there was room on that micro SD card I added some additional maps. That gives me the following:

Garmin City Navigator 2024.20

Open Map Chest Midwest (Open Street Map)

Onx Hunt V 21.0

Garmin Cyclemap/Latin1 BBBike.org (Dec-2023)

Garmin North America DEM

Garmin National Parks V2

I have a Garmin Drive (will have to look up exact model number when I get back to my car) with lifetime maps, and I was curious how to tell if my maps include US Virgin Islands or not. Anyone know? Thanks!

I have a Drivesmart 65 w Alexa that died. It had a english voice Zoe that I liked. I'm going to buy another GPS to replace my dead Drivesmart. If the new series Drivesmart 66 or 76 have Zoe as a voice I will get one. If the Zoe voice is not on the 66 or 76 I will get another Drivesmart 65 w Alexa.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2595. I plugged in the power cord to usb charging port 2 days before attempting to use. Plugged into cig lighter in car, the start screen displayed "Garmin" and the warning and "agree" button, which i tapped. Screen then went dark, and stayed dark. After several attempts, I just left it plugged in and attached to windshield.

And after putting it all in it does not like something

This is pretty much what happened the other 2 times.

Give me email address or contact, that convoluted error report form is so complex it is trying to keep people from reporting.

Hello everyone,

I have successfully updated my Nuvi Drive 51 with the latest map City Navigator North America NT 2024.20

When I go into my GPS Under Settings MyMaps and I look at the installed maps beside the new 2024.20 version it still showing the 2024.10 version with a check mark enabled beside it.

The main menu has disappeared, there is not even a “settings” item when I press the “menu” button twice, I don’t see the items I’m used to, I can’t even open the settings item.

What can I do to return all the items if I can’t access the settings?

I have had my Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa for over two years. I really haven't used the Garmin Voice-Activated Navigation feature much. However, yesterday I used it and I found Toppers & More, which I could not find the traditional, non-voice way. I assume it is simply using the same POI list that comes on City Navigator.

My Express shows some time zone map updates on all devices as of this AM.

I have 2 3597s. I have just updated both and they are both configured the same. When I plug one (a later S/N) into my computer and open File Explorer.
I see:

This PC
nuvi 3597 == an unlabeled drive
Internal storage == a folder, .System & .jcv not showing
Memory Card == a folder
System (C:) == computer system folder

As the title says. I have multiple Garmin devices and the first one I always install on device and computer. How do I make Garmin Express use the already downloaded map instead of redownloading it again on subsequent devices. Yes I have it checked for device only.
