Garmin talk

I just connected my Zumo XT and got a notification of a map update. Hooray I hear everyone cry. When I look I see "Update: IOverlander Worldwide POIs 2025.40" and "Install : City Navigator US & Canada 2025.10"

I check in Basecamp and it shows I have "City Navigator North America NT 2025.1

The Garmin Drive app works reasonably well with/on my DS65 But.. could use a new feature that I'm sure is: a) possible and b) desirable. Where would one suggest it?

Seems keeping track of where trains are by showing a train icon would help driver avoid, if possible, having to wait for a train. Something the Google map/traffic page could consider as well.

Just got an update for Garmin Express for Mac version 7.23.0.0.
Installed with no problems. Looks like 7.23.0.0 for Windows too.

My Garmin 52 keeps telling me "A Slippery Road has been reported". The location is on the Cross County Parkway West in Yonkers between the exit for the Hutch (HRP) and the exit for the Bronx River Parkway. It is not raining, the weather is clear. I do not see any extra traffic or construction that would trigger the warning. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Thanks for any input.

Hi everyone. I bought a DriveSmart 65 at the start of the year. I successfully downloaded 3 POI files to it last week. I am driving around with the expectation of a ping when I drive by a certain chicken establishment. Not pinging. Volume is up. What am I doing wrong?

Time for a new Map Waiting thread Yet??

Hello

I just chatted with Garmin because my photolive icon greyed out and the app is now missing from the apps area. They told me they're discontinuing the app. I've only had the drivesmart 55 a month. I thought photolive was such a cool feature. Pretty sad Garmin are disconting such a great feature.

We have two DriveSmart 65's. Both have issues with the speed camera file. I get the icon stuck up in the right hand top corner. We traveled out of state last week and i ended up with three of them under the icon. They will not go away until i shutdown the garmins and restart. This is from day one. I don't load the speed camera file anymore. Anyone else have those issues?

Hi,

MyGarmin Drivesmart 55 got reset by mistake.(kid played with it, .

Is there anyway to retrieve the lost saved places, saved trips etc?

About a month ago, received an email from Garmin that account would be deleted if not used.
At that time I checked our password file, and did not see an entry for Garmin website.
Today I get another indicating account will be deleted in 3 days if I don’t login.
So I tried, guessing. No Go!
So I asked to be emailed new password link and used email sent to me.

In June '23 I reported the above problem and I believe that I was not the first. Today I received an email indicating that there is a new version and all is well. I think I noticed this perhaps >1 month ago. Noticing means recognizing the absence of Drive near the top of the list in Battery Usage in Android Settings.

I recently purchased a DriveSmart 76 EX. I updated it with the latest maps and the firmware (v6.80) was already the latest. But there is a bug in the firmware. When I am on an active route, the green bar at the top of the screen does not show the name or exit associated with the next action. It just says "Driving West" (or whatever direction you are driving).

After my last update on my Nuvi 3597, I lost my home page. I went to input an address and the whole page is missing. It seems that all of my saved POIs are missing too. Does anyone know how to get it back.

I have a new Garmin and I am trying to get POI's from here, but they will not load to the Garmin, what am I missing?

I somehow managed to break the socket on the back of my Drivesmart65. I haven't had this for even a year.

I don't know if I have named the part correctly and I don't know if it is easily replaceable. It is where the ball end of the mount attaches.

Please help.

So, recently my DS76 started to suddenly dim the screen and tell me that the power had been lost and that it was going to shut down. I could touch "Cancel" and could keep going, but with bright sunlight and sunglasses, it was almost impossible to read the screen. Made for "Distracted Driving". This only happened on a hot day and when the DS76 was in the sun.

Wanting a larger screen, I have been looking at a DriveSmart 86. The only requirement I would want is Lifetime maps. Nowhere can I see if it has it or not. Anyone who has one, what are the pros and cons?

From Garmin, FYI

"The July 2024 release will be the last update available for customers with City Navigator Europe NT maps. They will still be available for you to reinstall."

Is OpenMapChest legal, safe, and good maps?

I am interested in Philippines map

My Nuvi 3790 LMT has given up the ghost. What unit would be recommended to replace it? Is the life time maps still available? Don't care about the Traffic option. The Garmin based GPS in my Honda CRV is pretty good but doesn't give text to speech. It will say "Turn right" but my 3790 would say " Turn right on Main Street" Thanks in advance for any assistance.
