Garmin talk

I have a Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S that randomly powers down. I assume I just need to ship it to the Mother Ship (Garmin Hospital) for repair. I have done a hard reset. Is there anything else I should try before shipping it back?

I've long ago given up on the 2797 to take the large JCV file.

The 855 does and I think the 3790 also, which right now is at my daughters.

So now my question is, can the DriveSmart 50 handle or take the large JCV file?

Map 2020.20 installed the 497,151kb file. If it can/does I don't really know how much of a difference the large file will make?

New GE version 6.16.0.0 just out.

BTW: This is I think the first time it actually recognizes my SD card installed in the 855.
Or maybe I just never noticed.

Hello friends

Following is a download link for the CN NA 2020.20 map large JCV file, D3060300A.JCV. The file is not zipped and no password is needed.

After today’s map update I’m down to 488MB free
On one 2689LMT, and 412MB on second one.
Way back when on my 660, I went through removing unneeded files and that allowed for a few more map updates before switching over to external memory card.
I see I’m about to need to do this again.
Anyone know what can and cannot be safely removed on a 2689LMT??

The new map files are up! Time to download.

I haven't read any discussion in a long time about custom dashboards. Does anybody else here still use these? I did a master reset on my Garmin DriveLuxe 51 this afternoon. as I was configuring it, I realized that something was still missing, so I enabled Trip Data and have:

-Temperature

-Elevation

-Time (on the right side)

The area to the left of the wrench icon is:

Hello im not rushing my time back-in Massachusetts but since im horrible with directions could you give me about a half way mark. I had wonderful suggestions and help setting up my Gps and gave me recommendations on were to stop for my first night coming back to Massachusetts.

Full Europe 2020.10 loads to Nuvi275T but will not load to computer. Tried on six different computes. NA 2020.10 loads fine. Loads to @ 12- 18 percent then errors off red banner There was an error loading the update. Tried in Safe mode Windows 10 V1903 same error. all virus software off.

In the 2019 Nav equipped Honda’s, the system gets its updates directly from Garmin, has the look and feel of the Nuvis and DriveSmart GPSs.

Has anyone had much luck on getting the wireless map updates to work? Mine just searches for forever, and once in a while, when it is able to find an update, I get an error message saying “An error occurred during the update. The device is retrying. Press cancel to exit and try again later or update using Garmin express.”

My wife and I ride ATVs as a hobby. We both have Can-Am Outlander 450s. I do have a windshield-fairing on my Outlander. I have a Garmin Nuvi 500 that is not currently being used. I am giving some consideration to mounting it on the Outlander. For those that have used a GPS on an ATV, what mounting solutions should I consider?

I purchased a lifetime map subscription for my trustworthy nüvi 855 about 9 years ago. Since then I've always used GarminMapUpdater successfully to update maps, although I think I missed the previous update.

Walmart has Garmin's Drive 52, DriveSmart 55, and DriveSmart 65 GPS devices on sale for $30 to $50 off their suggested retail prices.

Hello I haven't been on here in a long time and basically forgot how to use all the Garmin Programs.

Did anyone notice a huge surge in GPS satellites yesterday around 3 pm. All total there was a total of 55 satellites that my gps in my phone was bouncing off of. I am aware of the Galileo satellites which there are usually 12 and the regular gps satellites which usually number around 5 but was showing additional satellites with SBS, GLO, BDS, and QZS. Does anyone know what these are for?

I spent much of my afternoon yesterday in Banning State Park and, after dinner with my wife and mother in law, Saint Croix State Park in east central Minnesota. I was using my MIL's vehicle, which has a Garmin Nuvi 3597 and City Navigator 2020.10 installed on it. I was slightly surprised to find out what state park roads that did not show up on the device while I was navigating.

Below is the original letter I received from Garmin about Drive 55/65 not being able to be mounted as a drive in Finder. Note the smoke they blew about a POI Loader problem that I didn't mention to them. Also note the lane and incorrect procedure to use POI Loader in the future.
