Garmin talk

If possible, how do I do a factory reset on a DriveSmart 50. I updated it to the latest map using GE. When GE stated that the update was completed, I unplug it from the computer and attempt to manual start it but nothing happen. I then plug in to the power card in my car and it still did not come on.

Green icons with white hearts are displayed on the map screen with no way to remove them.

Garmin has started a case to correct this.

If you don't want these icons, contact Garmin support and add you name to the list. The more complaints the sooner the problem will be solved.

WHERE DO I FIND POI FOR STARBUCKS IN GPX FORMAT ?
I ONLY SEE IT HERE IN EXCEL

A brand new Casey's General Store opened near me today. I have been watching it, casually, the past few months while it was being built. To their credit, it already shows up on Google Maps. The question in my mind is, how long will it take for it to show up on Garmin City Navigator? Some of us just did the update on CN a matter of days ago.

it seems Garmin has new dash cams

Express 6161 is released

When I was there last week I talked to the Electronics Manager and then the Store Manager as I couldn't find a single Garmin automotive GPSs in the store.

The answer I got is that that store will no longer carry Garmin auto GPSs as their sales were close to zero over the past year.

4 map updates, and the same address that was wrong is still wrong. I told them about it, and they said they would fix it. Right.... Outdated cell phone maps have the address, but Garmin can't figure it out. better start getting their information from different vendors, because this isn't cutting it.

Anyone using and ECO-Route on a newer vehicle with Auto STOP/START?
It sees the engine shut off and wants to turn off the Garmin. Any way to turn off this function in the Garmin?

As I type this, my family and I are on E/B I-94 en route to Milwaukee. As planned, My wife is driving and I am navigating. I am using both the Garmin DriveLuxe 51 and a Sonim XP8 with Google Maps. Google Maps alerts us the slow downs, crashes and speed traps. Garmin is lagging behind. Garmin really needs to start making better use of data available with live internet connectivity.

Hi Everyone,

Unit is a Garmin Drivesmart 61.

I have installed the USA Route 66 POI file from the library.
In my Trip Planner simulation the POI's work OK as I arrive close to the POI position. I get the notification.
Does anyone here know why a couple of POI's per State don't "reiease" even after 254 miles past the POI location.

Had a conversation about Garmin maps with someone last night
And I found myself having to explain the ‘out of sync with rest of world’ map version naming system.
Other than sayin “That’s the way they do it......”

Is there a reason we are in 2019 and Garmin is in 2020?

Recently obtained a Garmin Nuvi 2598. Put POIs, including RLC, onto it.

RLCs show on map when doing route simulation, but not in "overhead" or "bird's eye view", even when zoomed in to 200 feet or closer.

Tried turning on/off map layer of "along the way". Other icons toggle on/off, such as businesses in my POIs, but not RLCs.

There was a thread here a month or two back which had a complaint that they could no longer mount the newer GPSes on their Macs and, thus, couldn't load POIs, etc.

Try using Android File Transfer for the Mac. It came right up and let me see the contents of my Garmin DriveSmart 55.

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??
