Garmin talk

Updated Base Camp 4.7.1 is ready for install for PC.

When I display the weather on my DriveSmart 51LMT-S using the Smartphone app I occasionally get local weather. Most of the time I get some North Conway weather. Google maps has only one North Conway, in NH, that is ~1,800 miles from home. The GPS says that it is 30° and the Weather Service says 48° so I am doubly puzzled.

For years I've used voice alerts with a few of my POI files on my 2555LMT.

Following the recent updates, all my alerts work but with a chime only, no voice alerts.

My POI and audio file names match. SOX is in the POI Loader directory.

Has Garmin changed anything?

The wait is over. The map update is showing up on Garmin Express.

Would some kind soul be able to point me to a location for downloading the latest TTSVoiceEditor. Wikispaces seems to be closed.

Thanks in advance.

I have seen some Garmin Fleet 670s for sale on Ebay. Has anybody here ever used one? It looks like they are Android based. Is there any way to add other Android apps to it? My assumption is that it would be locked down and not easy to unlock it, but who knows.

Just got a new RV780 and have 64gb Sandisk Extreme Sd card with the Custom POI loaded on it. When I turn on the RV780, and get the prompt to copy the custom POI file to the GPS, I can click on No and everything is fine. If I check the box to don't ask again, then click No, the GPS stops responding and leaves that screen showing.

anyone know if it's ok to use an old car charger from a (garmin 1450) with a drivesmart 7?

the old car charger is 5v, 1a.

i bought a used drivesmart 7 but it didn't come with a car charger so i'm using the old car charger from the garmin 1450...

seems to work so far but but just wanted to make sure..

k6rtm is these days? I used to like reading his posts.

Anyone know what happened to k6rtm ?

I'm posting this in the Garmin thread since I have no idea where else he may have posted.

My Dashcam has GPS, so if I've driven a route and a program like https://dashcamviewer.com/ exports the GPS route to a file of CSV, can this be inputed into Basecamp, saved and uploaded into a Garmin DriveSmart 50LMT so that the exact route can be followed in future?

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
