POI Loader - Will Not Load - HELP!!

Tried to re-load Garmin POI Loader to my computer running Windows 10 and program does not install. I get a pop up window that says "Modify Setup" with options to "Uninstall" or "Cancel".'

It does load the desktop with an icon .... but that just takes me to the pre-mentioned screen.

What am I doing wrong??

Traveling in Europe (GPS w/ update-able Europe maps)

I will be traveling to France, UK and Ireland this summer. I have a Garmin Nuvi 55LM, which is getting a bit old in the tooth and Garmin will not update the Europe map that I have that is many years old. I need a reliable Garmin to use in Europe, with update-able Europe maps. All suggestions appreciated.

Garmin 51LMT "off west?"

Never seen this in a lot of years of Garmin use. Worked fine. Powered down, next trip, car was ?west of the road I was on - consistently stayed that way for a 2mi trip. After a power down and reboot, it was fine.

Normally it thinks its off in space, then corrects itself?

was on most recent firmware, will check again w garmin express....

Garmin smart link

Normally I have Garmin Bluetooth turned off on GPS
Because it fights with 2011 Ford Escape over the phone iPhone. It’s the latest firmware on iPhone 6, Smart Link, and Ford Sync for 2011 Ford Escape.

Garmin BirdsEye Satellite Imagery Subscription

I have never used the BirdsEye Satellite Imagery Subscription. I know that there has been some sporadic discussion of it here in the past. None of my devices will work with this anyway. However, for those that do have devices compatible with this and have a subscription, how useful have you found it to be?

Saving a Trip

Hi Everyone,

Garmin Drive Smart 61
I have made some trips with "TRIP PLANNER"----> "NEW TRIP"
The trips are in my "SAVED TRIPS" screen.
Can I save them on the Micro SD and access them after I reset the unit.
Also can I share the trips in the Micro SD in another unit my friend owns.

Thank you

Garmin Devices Compatible With Galileo GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)

I was inspired by the post referenced below and some other previous posts the mentioned the Galileo GNSS. Honestly, much like others have posted, I don't need another automobile navigator. I have a Garmin Nuvi 3597, a DriveLuxe 51 and others. However, now that some Garmin devices have Galileo, I need to start paying closer attention to this.

3790 Nuvi not connecting to computer

My Nuvi 3790 will use the computer for power when connected by USB but I can not get it to show up as a drive so I can update the maps. Using a 2015 iMac and MacBook Air. Also have newest Garmin Express which can't see the Nuvi.

GPS to fail April 6 ??

In the March 2019 edition of PC Magazine there is an article about the possibility of some GPS systems failing come April 6. Evidently something to do with resetting the timing stamp every 20 years. Anyone heard of this? According to the article any GPS systems built after 2010 should be fine or those that conform to the ICD-200 or GPS-200 specifications.

Garmin Venture oddity

Anyone ever had this happen?

Few years ago, I was traveling through WV at dawn, on I-64. The highway was empty. The Venture was set to display the 'highway' graphic view. At one point, I notice a vehicle coming towards us on the display. Sure enough, there was one vehicle traveling west as I was traveling east. As it passed my window, it passed us on the gps.

Custom waypoint icons on routes?

I've collected a number of custom waypoint icons and included them in my Custom POIs. These were sent to my DriveSmart 61 using Garmin POI Loader. That all worked well.

Garmin 2020.1 vs. Microsoft S&T 2013

Well this is ridiculous.

JCV files

I have a Garmin nuvi 2370 with 2013.10 map version and would like to know what specific JCV file(s) should be used. I currently have a memory card with a folder name [.system] listed as a subdirectory under GARMIN and it has two files (D3192050A.JCV - size: 156,995 & D3373040A.JCV - size: 171,586) and I do get junction views.

Beanbag Mount

I thought I read here that someone bought a Beanbag Mount that had a "Silicone" pad on the bottom. If so, could someone tell me the brand name and/or the model number?

Icons Really Small

I have custom icons for speedways and red light cameras. When I migrated from my Drive Assist 50 to my new Drive Smart 55, the Icons are now TINY! Any idea if this is a known issue? Or was is just designed this way to not take up as much space. The speedway logo is now just about the width of 3 lanes of highway!
