Garmin talk

Good morning friends,

I forgot how to unhide System folder on Garmin devices. My windows are set to show all files though. I will appreciate your help.

can you change the boot up picture on the garmin drive 50

Hi

I have GTM 60 cable that has stopped working. What easiest
way to open the 12 volt end plug? I realize that there is
a silver plug contact, a fuse and spring on the inside of
the end assembly, but I am wondering how the pressed plastic
plug elements come apart.

thanks
Jim

Is it possible to install gmapdm.img file on these new generation of units like drivesmart 61?

i loaded routes into the driveassit 51, but can not find them. Originally i used basecamp, the second time I tried using a GPX file, I got message that the routes were already in the GPS but I can not locate them. any Ideas?

Have had my Drive Smart 61 several times now, tells me that the interstate is closed ahead and recalucaltes to avoide. This has occured on several different interstates (57, 75, and 24). Have ignored and once I get further down the road it again recalculates and cointinues on the origional route.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I was looking for an address this evening and I noticed that Google Maps refers to a road as Juhles Road and Garmin Mapsource refers to the same road as Juhls Road. Not a huge deal, of course, at least not for me, in this case. I Am just curious which one is more likely to be correct?

I am trying to remove irrelevant maps from Basecamp.

1. I removed all the Computer Maps files using "Program and Features -uninstall command".
2. I removed all the maps from the SD Card in the nuvi 2689.
3. I removed the SD Card
4. I connected the nuvi 2689 to the computer and opened Basecamp.
5. From the menu item "Device Received from device" -nuvi 2689.

If I have multiple maps activated on my unit, will the unit read both, so as I leave the coverage of one of the maps, the second map coverage will automatically display on my unit.

Presently, the only solution to the above situation is to deactivate the first map before activating the second map.

I am too far from this situation to physically investigate with my unit.

I own a Nuvi 67LM GPS and recently, the device no longer produces any sound. After several factory resets, reinstall of the firmware, I decided to contact support. As I purchased for christmas last year (2017), I contacted Garmin along with my proof of purchase. The representative I spoke to apologized and told me that the GPS I currently have has been discontinued since January of this year.

My BaseCamp just reminded me that v.4.7.0 is now available.

Just added poi's to my 3597 using poi loader.
I received the successfully added notification.
They are not showing up when traveling.
I tried zooming in and being with 200 feet or less
They are listed under custom poi but don't show up on the screen.
Is there an upper limit to the number of poi's causing them not to show up?

Just got a new RV660, and it has map 2015.40 on it. Tried using Garman Express to update and no new maps for it. Email Garman Tech Support and got this as a response.

I have attempted many times to make a correction to a OSMap, but I have not had any success. I am looking for a contact for either OSM or another account member, to whom I can forward this information so changes can be made to the map.

I have 700 Disc Image Files, one for each of the contour maps in Canada.

How I can I combine these files to produce a Disc Image File that I can load into my Nuvi 2689

Hmmm!!!

a. If you have a European map installed
b. Have the SmartPhone app installed
c. Are IN the US

Can you get traffic info from europe if you get the screen to display roads in europe??? Probably not.

But the traffic in Paris, France shows up in Google Maps on a PC here in the US. Don't have a European map installed in my 3597LMT, so I can't test this.
