Garmin talk

I am looking to replace my nuvi 2689 and Dashcam with the above unit.

I use a dash mount for the nuvi as in some states it is illegal to attach items to your windshield. My dash cam is mounted on the back of my rear view mirror.

Is there a dash mount that you can purchase for the Drive Assist 51 or any other GPS with Dashcam?.

New Garmin Express is now ready for download.

Had a Pop Up on screen of 765T today that my Map Update was over a year old. Never saw this before and yes it and the 1450 haven't seen a Computer in more then a year

I'm still wondering why Garmin decided to stop including a password option on power-up.

Just picked up a NOS 3597LMT.
It responds quicker than my original in route calculation and screen refresh. Any ideas what causes the slower response? I'm assuming all 3597s have the same processor. The serial number on the new one is about 1400 higher than my original.

I have a gtm-60 from my 3590 and the ta-20 that came with the DS 55.
Both work, but which one is better suited for the drivesmart 55?
If the DS55 doesnt get digital traffic and only gets it through the app I might as well give the gtm-60 to my dad (whom I gave the 3590 to)

Like the title says, upgraded, figured it was time. the 3590 was 8 years old. I like the 55 mostly and added a ton of POI's. It's faster and BT pairs better (but still has horrible issues with pairing when you turn the device on, and I know it's not my note 9.. Believe me, the 3590 BT stack was way worse, it wouldn't even let the device shut down unless I turned off BT).

My NuviCam BT issues were finally resolved by Garmin about year ago but looks like it broken again. It could be new Apple IOS causing issues. It is not consistent anymore. Secondly, it does not allow me to connect BLE only anymore. I have to connect BT as well. Before I used to use BLE only for traffic and weather. I don't use BT for Phone etc.

Finally was in an area with significant traffic. Smartphone link app on phone showed connected to Garmin. Icon for connection showed on the Garmin. The traffic info received was very generic, such as Accident on I10. No east/west bound, no mile marker etc. Not very useful IMO. Do I have some setting wrong or am I just expecting too much?

I have 4 Garmins and updating them all takes some time. Is there a way to either, download the map file and have it installed through Garmin Express or have Express do it through a setting that I don't see?

Thank you all, I've got to learn to use BaseCamp. I've tried to but when I export it to device, I can't find it. I have 3 Nuvi's and one Drive GPS

I have questioned if the BC 40 gives a “Low Battery” message before the batteries are completely dead and never gotten an answer, even from Garmin. The BC 40 gave me that answer today when a “Low Battery” message appeared at the top of the DriveSmart 65 screen.

After updating to the new map and installing the Nuvi in the car, I noticed that I was not receiving any sound. I removed the GPS from the mount and got sound from the Nuvi. Upon reinstalling it, again, no sound. I did this a couple more times with the same result. I removed the Nuvi once again and rubbed my fingers over the pins on the mount, reinstalled the Nuvi and guess what?

On way to vacation in FLA We had trips to and from Disney Parks from our rental house, and we encountered a strange issue....

Large JCV File D3060320A.JCV (829.1 MB) for Garmin CN North America 2021.10 Map Update. The file is in the native unzipped state and no password is needed.

Is this the new update? Garmin says it is.
Several other updates that don't pertain to me.

I'm downloading 2021.10 right now.

For those of you familiar, Foursquare is similar to Yelp and Google in terms of POIs, but it's ridiculously inferior in every way. Much of the POIs are three or more years old, often extinct. Surely Garmin can use Nokia (HERE) Maps POIs instead or another source?

Is it possible to just load these cameras for just a few states in your vicinity instead of all 50 states when downloading from POI factory.
(IF ITS NOT COMPLICATED)
THANKS

Unfortunately formatting my sd card in the device caused my Garmin 2797 internal drive to be wiped. I was able to restore many files to the point that GRMIN express can load the latest maps. The installed files came from Garmin 3790 which is quite different.

In Windows file manager, the maps are shown as installed, however are not operating in the machine.

I recently bought Garmin's Topo US 24K pre-programmed data card northeast version. I installed it in the usual way in the mini SD card slot behind the batteries on my Oregon 650. After booting, the Oregon will not recognize the map. It is not listed when going to "Settings", "Map", "Configure Maps". I have other Garmin 24K map products which work normally on the Oregon.
