What is the latest map version for Garmin Nuvi 1490T?

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.

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

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.

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.

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”.

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.

Does anybody has a poi for land location

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

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.

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

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”.

Available again at theGPSstore.com for $99. (8/22/2020)

Updating map STUCK at 26.2 complete.

Ping Gamin ok but no download data just sits there for last 30 min.

Gamin 3597
Still on downloading files hope I can start over since it has not started the install.

Don't want to unplug but looks like I'm stuck.

I've noticed lately that when choosing to replace the Proximity field, it doesen't replace it, just adds a new alert at the distance entered. I've been doing this for several years now for the RLC files and it always used to replace the default value.

Comments?

Garmin Express 7.1.2.0 is now available.

when I connect the 1490 to the car it powers on when power applied, shows the logo and copyright, then powers off with a flash and repeats that cycle.
If running on battery it does the same thing.
If connected to computer it gets to show the progress bar of going into mass storage mode then goes off.
Battery it 3.9V going to 3.8V when on.
It will not do a factory reset.

Just got a notification for updating to V 7.1.1.0 in Garmin Express and updated to latest one!

Please check your GE...

Hi, I tried to post this to the end of an older thread, but it did not appear, so I am starting a new thread. I am a new member.

First a little information about this situation.

I bought a new laptop with a 128GB SSD. Which means I have to use an external HDD for almost all the programs I want to install. First off I needed to learn how to set up my registry so new programs will install on the external HDD instead of the C: drive.

BaseCamp and MapSource are installed on the C:/drive.
