Garmin talk

Of course it's much different than the 2350LMT it replaces. But, it has no traffic so the ETA is not accurate.

Main purpose is for red light and speed cam alerts--it came with a Dec 2024 Cyclops.

I loaded the rlc and speed files from here.

The first time I approached a rlc, a red bar appeared across the top, and also a gray bar.

Red was cyclops, gray was the poi from here.

It's been a while since I last did a road trip (2022). I recall back then I created the route on a windows 10 machine with mapsource, successfully saving it as a gpx which automatically imported into trip planner in the driveluxe 50.

Back in mid-February I updated both my Nuvi 2689 and PC to the latest version 2026.10 using Garmin Express. Now whenever I launch Garmin Express it prompts me to install a new update, version 2026.10. That is what I have been running for a while on both the 2689 and the PC. Does anyone understand why it would ask me to update to a version that I am already running? I have no idea.

I’ve had a Nuvi 2689 for several years now and it has been great. I have it paired via Bluetooth with my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. I usually have the Bluetooth turned off though because I rarely have a need for it. My mobile plan is through Spectrum Mobile.

I've never replaced the battery in my DS65, but it's not holding a charge for very long.

Do I need to get the battery from Garmin or is it readily available from Amazon? What is the part number?

I see 4 small screws on the back. Do I access by removing those & taking off the back? Does the battery simply plug in or is it soldered?

I've been using a Zumo XT for the last couple of years without any real issues except since I upgraded my phone last year to a Samsung S23 Ultra. Since then, when using the unit and playing music, after a few minutes, if I get any poi warnings or new direction instructions, the music starts stuttering, getting worse and worse until the music finally stops altogether until I restart the Zumo.

My old Nuvi 765 gets seldom used anymore and most of the time it sits in a plastic carrying case. Today, I took it out to be used in my truck. I was suprised to find the casing of the Nuvi was tacky and very sticky to touch. I tried cleaning it with water and soap, Windex, rubbing alcohol but it made no difference.

What is happening to the casing? Am I doomed to a tacky Nuvi?

Does the garmin 86 get free redlight updates with wifi ?

I am attempting to get the full NA 2026.10 map onto my wife’s old Nuvi 360 using an 16 Gb SD card. Interestingly, the card no longer shows as a drive on my iMac M1 (Sequoia 15.4.1) when inserted in the Nuvi but is visible when mounted stand-alone.

I was installing Garmin maps to my computer. On myy first attempt I got 12% done and then I got dial-up speeds on my connection. I reset my connection and continued. It started at 0% and continued to 38% when the downloading finished. I would have expected the program to start the download at 12% and finish at 50%.Has anyone else seen this? It is a Drive 52 and Windows 7.

Both my 55 and 2699 continue running like clocks BUT no matter what when I import the POIs the speed shown on the Garmin is not correct. My Garmins are set to KM and the POI files are in Miles.

I know it is something simple but… suggestions?

In the past if I clicked on “Recents” I got a whole lot of choices of previous searches.
Now what happens the map opens up with nothing specifically shown.

I’m probably 2 map versions behind now and this has been happening since my last update. The.GPS is in the car and I am not.

Did Garmin change this?

There was a software update 7.70 for the DS66, 76, and 86! I just updated mine. The only change I noticed, though, was the addition of a PIN lock on the 66, that is under device. The changelog said it improved searching along route, bug fixes and also improvements though.

Yesterday I WENT ON Garmin EXPRESS there was 2 updates , 1 was x6 text version 2.0.0 file size 3.66 Mb the other was soft ware up date.My Garmin
53 ex update the soft ware first and the x6 text did not in stall.Well my
Garmin went to black and white screen . And it will not do anything but stay on that screen.I change cords tried another computer tried to go to

Finally got around to updating my DS55 since about a year back. The maps have gone up each year (2026.10 as of now) but there normally would be a firmware update as well. It's been a year since the last update and the only thing changed was a time zone fix. I was surprised to still see it at v.10.2.

First and foremost - kind of glad to see some non cell phone GPS users still out in the world! My reason for still having one is - I have a CHEAP cell phone plan and if I don't use data, it only costs like $10/month! No need to use data intensive Google Maps....

Garmin Express v7.25.0 is available for PC today.

Immediately after doing my GE update all three of my devices show eligible for a time zone update.

This version includes the following changes:

Added the ability to install the basemap if it’s not currently installed on the device.

Added support for displaying semantic versioning.

Greetings All
A newby question. I've got a Zumo XT, and being dirt riders, we always use tracks rather than routes, there often being no road to route, and sometimes our planned track will cross over itself, rather like a figure 8 does.
