Garmin talk

I just noticed last night while driving on highway 427 south in Toronto Canada area that Garmin Maps now have starting calling Dundas Street as Highway 5. I know on highway signs they have written highway 5 besides Dundas Street as well but everyone calls it Dundas Street and no one calls it highway 5 except Garmin. It never used to be the case. Waze still calls it Dundas Street.

Does anyone know how to delete a custom category? I made a couple of custom categories when planning a trip to keep the waypoints/stops in their own category. Now I would like to delete them and their contents? Garmin Drivesmart 61
Thanks

Any way they can be updated?

Downloaded POILoaderforMac_241.dmg from Garmn website on Oct 11, 2019 but it will not install on my 2019 iMac running MacOS 10.15 Catalina.

Error message: “Install POILoader.pkg” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Contact the developer.

I've been using OSM maps for quite some time on our old Nuvi 265WT and generally find that they are more detailed and accurate than the Garmin maps but address search seems to be relatively nonexistant.

I have two identical Garmin Drivesmart 61 units. I plan a trip using the Trip Planner in the Garmin on one unit then save it to backup on my computer, then connect the other unit to the computer which has all the trips and saved places deleted already and do a "restore" from the first Garmin and the trips never come out right with stops missing or other entries labeled "Area".

Can't believe that no one has started this thread yet, it's been 10 weeks.
I'm guessing December

I am not a Mac user but ran across this in another forum and don't know if it has been mentioned here.

Changes made from version 2.3.0 to 2.4.1:
Updated app to 64-bit.
Fixed issue with detecting Garmin-mode USB devices.
Dropped support for Mac OS 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9.

System Requirements:
Intel based Mac running OS 10.10 or higher.
Older OS users should use POI Loader 2.1.0

Found a working Nuvi 255W at a thrift store recently. From examination of GarminDevice.xml it is running SoftwareVersion 500 (the PartNumber is 006-B0827-00, interestingly this is the same as my 265W). I want to try updating it to version 780 but need a copy of version 500 in case I have to put it back for any reason.

I am due to visit both Florida and Tennessee in the next three months. I am in the UK and have a Drivesmart 65 with Alexa. I bought a City Navigator Lower 49 States map from Garmin and have put POI's on it from here. If I buy the speed camera POI's from here as well, will they work on my 65 in the US? I have used the map in the States before and it gives you the basics i.e. no traffic.

I did the latest map update two nights ago...firmware, etc updated first...now my gtm60 will not receive traffic...it powers the device fine but I am getting the need proper traffic receiver message...the cable is not pinched or cut...there is, however, slight wiggle in the connector into the magnetic mount for the 3597. I had no problems before the latest updates.

I am using POI Loader with sox.exe (in the same folder) to load POIs to my Drive 52 TM and in 'manual' for each file the POI Loader Application pops up with a screen that states "Do you want allow this app to make changes to your device" ;
I have been clicking on NO..
I know this screen only appears when installing / updating a program.

I've inherited a DriveSmart 51 that won't turn on. I've charged it for 48 hours, it doesn't look abused, and I haven't attempted to open it up yet.

Has anyone experienced this problem before and have a solution? Thanks.

I lost the ability to show Custom POI files on my Garmin Drive Assist LMT-S after the last update. I am currently using Version 6.20 on the Garmin. I called support and they advised me the engineers had disable that feature in the last update. Is anyone else aware of this or any workarounds?

Hi, I have a NUVI 68. Historically, when I loaded custom POIs from the POI factory, they would list in alphbetical order. All of the sudden, I can't get them to do this. I've tried everything I can think of but they stil list on the Garmin when I select "Custom POI" in not perticular order. I just did the latest update and still no order. Thanks Terry

Garmin Express 6.18.0.0 is available to download.

Just acquired a new Garmin (Drivesmart 55) and decided to install a group of POIs that I had acquired for my old Garmin. It took a couple minutes to remember the process, but it all went well. My question concerns the screen that requires some check boxes to be selected.
What is the result if I choose: Ignore this file?

Garmin is celebrating its 30th birthday with a special sale event! For 30 hours only, you get at least 30% off select products. The sale ends tomorrow, so don’t be late to the party!

I just got an extra 16 gigs on my C Drive. Garmin needs 10 Gigs to install maps. Change the size of the Drive C Paging File. Follow the instructions here:

Do not delete the Page File, but shrink it instead.

Couple of days ago I finally got around to doing the map update to my Garmin. Ever since, I keep getting this popup on my screen for Watch for children. I always drive through a school zone when leaving mu house. I have always gotten the normal school zone yellow banner on the top of the screen and the dingle. But now I get this watch for children box and it does not go away or clear.
