Deleting saved locations
I seem to recall, on one of my previous Garmins, I was able to delete/remove locations that I had saved. However, I am unable to find a location where I can do that with my DS50. Any suggestions?

Where To screen missing icons
Not sure how it happened but the Where To page on a Nuvi 2598 somehow is now missing all the icons. Anyone see this happen before? Is there a way to get the default icons back on this page?

GTM36 confusion (rusted USB connector)
I stupidly let my USB connector get rust in it when some snow was on the floor mat. It wasn't plugged into anything.
I have tried to get used replacements from Feebay, but keep running into issues.
1. I got one that had a straight mini-USB plug, but I have never seen that, The label on the 12V section looks as though it may have been pried from another unit. Not sure of that.

Another Garmin file mystery .... Jeff.BIN
Here is another Garmin file mystery. I noticed this on the refurbished Driveluxe 50 LMTHD I recently purchased. There is a folder named JOURNAL and within that folder is one file named Jeff.BIN. Size is 32K. This file was on the original backup I made when I first took the DriveLuxe out of the box. It had an unusual date of 12/31/2025.

New To Me Drivesmart 50
Just received a newly overhauled (refurtbed?) DS50 and have a couple questions.
Which takes priority for traffic between smartlink and built-in traffic receiver?
Is there a way to change voice prompts when navigating?
Thanks in advance.

Setting help - no voice but get POI sounds
I have a Garmin DriveSmart 61 NA LMT-S.
When I travel the voice gets a bit annoying, so often mute her. The down side is I then don't get POI sounds.
Is there a way to mute only the voice and still get POI sounds? I guess I could remove voice files, but that seems a bit drastic.
Your recommendations always appreciated.

Case for nuvi 2689
Just received a new nuvi 2689. I travel a lot by plane and like to keep my GPS gear in a protective case. Does anyone know of a case big enough for the GPS, cord and mount?
Thanks.

Disable voice logs
I am using nuvi 67lm.
In internal storage, under voice --> logs, there is a file called vpm_log_all.txt that takes up 48.1 mb of space.
Is there a way to disable this? This file contains every spoken directions, street names, destination.etc.
I just do not like how much space this is taking up.

Publix Problems
Dezl 760
All of the POI files from here work just fine except the Publix file.
All of the Publix locations show normally. The problem is that the selected Publix location can’t be set as a destination. The “Go To” option is dimmed and can’t be selected.
The OEM Publix locations can be selected and used normally.
What could be the problem?

How to use the camera icon on a 3597
I have a 3597 and just noticed the camera icon on the main screen.
Has it always been there? Is it a new feature? Did I do something to turn it on?
Anyway, I can't find any info or settings about it. When I touch it, it created a camera shutter sound. So it is doing something. Since the unit does not have a camera, I assume it is taking screen shots, but I have no idea how to access them.
