Garmin talk

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.

Is it possible to save over 3,000 waypoints to the garmin 3597? My internal memory is almost full and need to figure out how to transfer some of it to a 32gb memory card and install the 3,000 waypoints. Is it even possible to store waypoints to a memory card? I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer. Thanks

Garmin Express v6.15.0.0 is ready to download.

Went to check on something on Garmin's website today and I see that the co-founder Gary Burrell passed away.

There seems to be a problem with the New Drivesmart 55, and may be 65. It seems you can no longer Mout the Unit as a Drive in you Finder(MAC) or your Directory(WINDOWS). It connects to Garmin Express and to Basecamp and you can do the usual stuff there. But without being able to mount as a Drive, you cannot get to a copy of the garmindevice.xml file to create a clone for map updating.

Seems like an individual feels that a device with lifetime updates, should also have sufficient hardware to accomplish those updates.

There is a DriveSmart 65 with Traffic software update available.

I installed it directly from the DS65 without using GE. It took about two minutes.

New Garmin Express is out.

Has anyone received an email purporting to be about
"updated the privacy policies" recently???

The email it is sent from is "reply@email1.garmin.com
That is "email1, the number one after email.
Somehow this does not look legit to me.

CN EU 2020.10 NTU now available

I was looking at the Garmin GPSMAP 66i (GPS and Satellite Communicator) and noticed that it is "Available exclusively at REI." Has Garmin ever done this in the past with any other products? For those here that have more retailing and marketing experience than I do, which is pretty much everybody, is that a good move for Garmin? Is that a good move for REI?

So it appears Garmin dropped the prices on the auto navigators by $50. Not sure how long ago they did this but does anyone know if this is a temporary reduction or now the new permanent pricing structure?

I received a Garmin email about this, but wasn't this already discussed here?

Both my old nuvi 755T and nuvi 855 are showing software updates available today for GPS Chipset type M) to "fix a possible bug in the reported date". I suspect this is a carry-over from April 6 2019 "Week Rollover" date issue that has been discussed in other threads.

Hello all,
I am really seeking an help right now. I have a Garmin GPS device. It originally has europe map installed in it. However, I want to add US map as i moved here. I bought it online but it's not getting installed and giving an error "unable to install this content". Kindly advise me for this

My Drive Assist51 when plugged in is flashing the Garmin screen off and on then shows garmin with a white line across the screen then the screen goes black then shows the garmin then garmin and white line then goes black over and over again. I have it plugged into a wall usb now but it does the same thing with the vehicle plug.

Just received my new Garmin 56 Dash Cam.Not so cheap.It is very small compared to most.There is no real set up instructions so one must download Garmin drive app for cell phones to see the instructions.The unit has a menu which will get you started but when connected to cell phone app by bluetooth it is easier to navigate.

GE v 6.14.2.0 ready to download. Is map update on the way???
