Oh No, broken? (1450)

It has been some time since charging my 1450. Plugged in to do the map update and thought it was going OK. Map didn't register on the Garmin or the computer. Went through the steps and noticed that 1450 screen which was on then turned black. My 1390 will charge but with 2 different power cords the 1450 is dead. Did the receptor for the mini usb cord inside the unit broke off the board?

Lake Villa district library

I post this because I’ve not come across this type of thing in quite a while.
Do a search on
140 N Munn Rd, Lindenhurst, IL 60046
On Garmin with latest map
You won’t find it.
So Wife got directions off her iPhone and we used that
To route us there.
When we go there, we discovered that the street was seen by Garmin. All the way to that address!!

Dose anyone know why Garmin GPS's will show my POI icons on one day, but not the next, and then they will be back again, the next day. I leave my Garmin plugged in all the time, it comes on when I start the car. They have all the latest updates,

Posting pictures, how?

As far as I know, one can not post pictures in this forum. If it is in the FAQ's I missed it. How do members get around this limitation? Instructions?

Drive series magnetic mount

Idea for this came from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5KIpp_05Q

I recently picked up an arkon magnetic mount - SPHDMAGKIT ($15) https://www.arkon.com/product/SPHDMAGKIT-magnetic-phone-moun....

This is a magnet base with a female socket to mount to any 17mm ball mount. The include several metal plates which are suitable for phone (cases), but not so much for a garmin device.

DriveLuxe 51

I have no idea what this'll go for assuming there are some last-second snipers hovering over it but there's a DriveLuxe 51 on ebay now with the listing "Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S with North America Maps" with no bids, a $60 starting bid plus $10 S&H that expires in just 12 hours.

Questions about map update (do new updates erase previous map data?)

I have a garmin 2557 and all the map updates through the years went fine. The latest update called for a memory card. I installed a 16 gb card and the update went good. My question is do new map updates erase or over write previous map data? Or does it just keep piling up and using all the memory. I have deleted most voice files and most car icons.

thanks

Caution GE where you download

I needed to download Garmin Express and for what ever reason I did not pay too much attention to the link I clicked. It said
"MyGarminExpress"
(CAREFUL DO NOT GO HERE) -> https:// www. my garmin express .com/

I clicked on download and things looked funny. Told me its downloading, installing maps and ended up telling me that my device is now locked.

DriveSmart 55 and GPX file

Hi, Having trouble reading my GPX file. The way I have done it for close to a year is connect the unit to the computer find the GPX folder and copy it to my hard drive. After that I would use MapSource to open the GPX file.

Garmin reported to be down again

Note sure if this affects automotive units

See https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/garmin-down-a...

An in-app message informs users that the various platforms are currently “down for maintenance” and advises to “check back shortly”.

Learned something new about Bluetooth

I have an old car with no connectivity, so I use a Bluetooth/RF translator to connect my phone audio player to my stereo to listen to audio podcasts while I drive.

I just bought a Garmin Drivesmart 65 and thought I couldn't use the Garmin Bluetooth features since I am already using a Bluetooth/RF device.

Poi for land location

Does anybody has a poi for land location

2597LMT need more maps

Hi guys,

sorry if this will another boring topic for you, but I need some help. My beloved 2597 LMT crashed during update - white screen on the loop and is not loading. So I had to search for another device and came up one from the ebay. Same 2597 LMT, just from different country.
There is where fun begins

Garmin Express 7.1.3

Great news. The problem with 7.1.0, 7.1.1, and 7.1.2 is fixed. My Garmin fleet 670 now is seen by Garmin Express for map and software updates. Six days ago, I contacted Garmin by email with the problem and sent them my GarminDevice.xml file plus my Garmin Express log files. This may have prompted today's release of GE 7.1.3 which doesn't have published Release Notes yet.

drivesmart 61

So the wife wanted this unit when it was on sale after she saw my 65. The problem is i can't get the traffic to work. This is the second unit i got from Amazon. It tells me the receiver is disconnected top left of screen. I did all the updates except the Map. hit the traffic icon and it tells it wants smartphone link or traffic compatible cable. This is a lmt-s. What am i missing?

thanks

Persistent delay report (tab showing no traffic delay)

I have a problem with a traffic report of a delay (with a delay time of zero) that is persistent. It occurs when the Smartphone Link app is connected to my DriveSmart 51LMT-S and I am not actively navigating. My issue is the persistence of the tab on the right of the screen that says something e.g. “no delay, 5.2 miles away”.
