Unknown files
I bought a drivesmart 65. All my gps's always have custom poi's...hmm. So under the POI directory they house a CustomPOI.gpi
file and thats all thats in there, guess what! this one has 3 additional ones
D7378050A.gma, D7378050A.gpi and D7378050A.unl. These were created or updated when i updated to the newest map version 6 days ago.

Carpool Lanes, HOV, HOT, Etc
Driving in LA, my 61 does not know when I am in an HOV (carpool)or HOT (toll) lane
as a result, you don't get help for exiting from the lanes when you have an exit ahead.
You also encounter +Recauculating+ when the freeway connects to other freeways via Carpool lanes but the GPS wants you to go tot the far right lane...
Is there a way to fix this in settings?

Map updates
I bought City Navigator (North America 49 States) from Garmin to use on my frequent trips to Tennessee and Florida. I use them on my Garmin Drivesmart 65 with Alexa, which in itself, was not a cheap buy.
I asked Garmin about updates to this map and the frequency and was told they don't update these maps, you are expected to buy a new one. I asked if they were joking to which no one replied.

New firmware out for nuvi 3590 - v8.5
It fixes the auto day/night mode that started screwing up this last daylight savings time change date.
Now it switches automatically at dusk like it used to.
The update may also apply to other 3*** models.

Problems Updating Drive 6 GPS
I have been attempting to update my "new" Drive 6 all afternoon. (Uggh!)
I FINALLY got mt Garmin Express to find my GPS and it said must download new software FIRST.
I did so, and after a few minutes, it instructed me to unplug my GPS for 5 second, and then plug it back in to allow the unit to install the new software.

Garmin chargers light color
I have trouble seeing red or green lights like is on the Garmin car chargers/power supply. Honestly we have more charging cords than GPS units so often times they're not matched the way they came out of the box. My wife gets upset when she sees a red light on the charger and a green one one the other.

Drivesmart 65 MTP settings changed?
I have 2 Drivesmart 61's and to transer from Mapsource I would go to MTP settings and select Mass Storage. In this I would be able to transferr anything in my Mapsource program that I've used for many years on all kinds of Garmin Nuvi's.

Garmin-provided POIs
Just tried to use Garmin's POIs to find nearest US Post Office. First four nearest have all been closed over a year ago. One was closed six years ago.
Any thoughts about why Garmin doesn't update these?

Directions with proper English
What bugs me when I use my Garmin is "turn right on Main St". If you are NOT ON Main St. you can't turn right ON Main St. You can only turn right ONTO Main St.
Does it bug you? I have tried to change it but Garmin uses the same ON for "destination is on the left", which is correct English.

System Files
I've been searching, but I can't find it. Plan B for restoring those system files that you remove to save space, and didn't back up. My unit works, but I had removed a lot of files to make room, but I'd like to restore this unit to factory.

Vote for Contributor of the year
This may be a dumb question.
Is there a way to find out if I already voted? I'm sure I did, but want to verify that I did.
TIA
Maximum saved locations—2689 LMT
I’m nosy.... is there a maximum amount of saved locations for a 2689LMT?
Thanks!
A 2689LMT in both our cars that we love... and a Nuvi 660 with Lifetime Maps that we have had literally forever.... And a 2011 Ford Escape with Nav System that is totally ignored!
