Garmin talk

I had some issues the last time I travelled in the EU as I did not have enough data on my phone.

I was wondering if there were any issues in switching a US Garmin to EU?

I believe this is a one time region change.

Have you or anyone you know made the region switch>

Thoughts and input appreciated.

Hello again, folks. I'm wondering if it's possible to update an individual state rather than entire US, as this would greatly lessen the size of the download. I didn't find an answer on the Garmin help site, so I imagine that's not possible. What say you? Thanks. Ed

Hello, all. My first post on this forum. I have an older Garmin (not sure of the age). According to “about” it appears to be model 5, not sure if that’s correct, but that’s what it says. Sometimes the device just won’t turn on, but then appears to fix itself and work normally for a while.

I think I have sufficiently confused myself enough that I need help.
For some reason my two 3597s are acting different. When I connect one to my PC I get a item in File Explorer labeled "Nuvi 3597" with a nuvi_drive blue triangle icon next to it, not a folder icon. There are 2 drive icons under that labeled "Internal storage" and "Memory card".

I just checked on My DriveSmart 55 and saw that there is a software update. The update size is 62 MB.

It lists several things that are being updated, and for a change a few of the items listed seemed as quite important and useful patches.

It says the following:

DriveSmart x5
Version: 9.30
File Size: 62 MB

we have 2x 2689LMT's, and one (in Wife's Car) I believe the battery died....

I changed battery in our old 660... Was a bit intense, but we were successful....

Is the battery in 2689LMT as easy or easier to swap ?????

May look into that before trip later this year....

Thanks for info!

Hello! For some reason, when I tap "Where to?" the next screen shows only "Dynamic Parking" and "Add Shortcut" icons. It's completely different than its always been (i.e. Go Home, Addresses).

Does anyone know what happened, and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

CN EU 2021.30 NTU was released a few days ago, Garmin have skipped CN EU 2021.20 NTU for reasons unknown.

For those of us who have a subscription to Garmin's Europe maps, Europe-EUNT 2021.20 has been released.

Sox.exe, as an installable program, is at ver 14.4.2. Sox.exe for POILoader is at ver 14.0.1
Is there a need to update?
How would one update with the installable version?
Would it be just a matter of installing it, then taking the SOX.EXE and copying to the POILoader install folder or is there something special about ver. 14.0.1?

Just downloaded New Garmin Express 7.5.0.0

CDC says many Americans can now go outside without a mask.

For the entirety of the pandemic I have not worn a mask outdoors. Every day I take a two-mile walk in my neighborhood for exercise and I have never worn a mask. Sometimes I meet or overtake another walker or runner and I seek to maintain a six-foot or more distance.

I just saw that Off Road Mapping is now selling Garmin GPSs with their preloaded VV Mapping already installed.

Can anybody here tell which 5" and 6" Garmins they are selling?

I think there is a bug in software version 7.80 on all nüvi 2x5 series and later model nüvi 2x0 series devices. The nüvi models affected will add to the turn distance randomly while just simply driving. For example, all my 2x5 devices and my 200W and 260W. I turn on the road. The distance to my next turn is 1.4 miles.

I recently created a POI file that has multiple duplicates in column C and differing info in column D. I have a Garmin 2370 and a Garmin Drive Assist 51 each with micro cards for storing the Extra POI files. When I try to search the data with the Garmin 2370, every entry is displayed; however, the Drive Assist 51 seems to display only the first duplicate it encounters.

I BOUGHT A 32 BIT MICRO DISK FOR MY 55 GARMIN NAV AND JUST INSTALLED IT IN THE BACK OF MY GARMIN,THEN I NOTICED ON THE FORUM THAT IT SAID I HAVE TO FORMAT IT BEFORE I INSTALLED IT.IS THIS TRUE AND IF SO HOW DO I GO ABOUT FORMATTING IT ON A WINDOW 10 COMPUTER OR CAN I GO ABOUT DOING IT RIGHT ON MY GARMIN (OR DOES THE GARMIN DO IT AUTOMATICALLY)
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT FOR ANY FEEDBACK.

Hi all, I have a nüvi 2757 LM with a speaker that I believe is dead. It was working an hour ago, now it isn't. It just sorta went kaput.

My Garmin needs charging periodically, and with minimal driving it seldom goes in the car. I used to charge it with the cable that came with it. The same cable that I use to update, which is not a problem. I've seem a message that says something to the effect that it can't charge unless I use an original cable, but this one is original.

I recently updated my Garmin and had to reduce what was loaded because of space requirements. So I ordered a microsd card (San Disk 128gb). It came to day and I slipped it in the only slot, which is on the bottom edge. Plugged it into my computer and no disk! What do I need to do for it to see the disk? I saw nothing in Settings on the Garmin.

Hyper precise location has been announced at 100 cities with Verizon. This gives accuracy up to 1-2 cm for 4G and 5G customers. Do you believe Garmin will add this feature? If not , do you believe it could add the option to utilize it through the cell phone like they do with the current app?
