Garmin talk

Given many of the new garmins support wifi for map updating, is there some way of access the internal storage via wifi?

My oldest sister just turned 70. We live pretty far apart. She is in AZ and I am in MN. She asked me to update her maps on her Garmin Nüvi 55, which I have done. I will return this to her tomorrow.

any body know how to install new map in garmin drive 51 I bought from usa and it has only usa map I try to installed unlocked map but it shows wrong map .any body help me please.

I WANT TO INSTALLED CANADA MAP BECAUSE IT DO NOT HAVE CANADA MAP.

One of these days my old Nuvi 650 will die. In anticipation of this, I periodically review the Garmin website to review available GPS models.

One feature that I do want, is a Bluetooth enabled GPS that will "speak" through the radio of the car. The product specs simply speak of making a Bluetooth connection through a smartphone. We do not have a smartphone.

A message started popping up on my 2699Lmt that the cable was not right for traffic, does the traffic antennae’s in the cable go bad? Never had this happen before Thanjs for your feedback

In order to more easily obtain a reliable source for the large JCV file, I'm thinking about buying an older Nuvi and buying a Garmin lifetime map update subscription.

My question deals with which of the older Garmin Nuvis natively downloads the large JCV file, currently D3060270A.jcv for 2019.20, as part of the update?

Can some folks report back if your units have the orientation option in display settings or not.

Garmin support indicates the device supports portrait mode, however the actual unit I have in hand (with current firmware) does not.

Garmin Express is now available.

Garmin Smartphone Link 2.9.3 for iOS was released yesterday. Installed without problems.

Release notes say "We have further improved the stability of the app. Enjoy your drive!"

Although I don't yet need it, I've installed a 8 GB microSD card into my nuvi 2689. Prior to insertion it was formatted (FAT32) in a Windows 7 PC using a card reader. Is there a way solely via the GPS to determine if the card is functional?

I have not updated my maps to the new map.
When I try to make a trip with way points, things get screwy. At first things worked OK. Then things went south.

A few minutes ago, I downloaded the pure-gas.csv file (1,503,743 bytes) from POI Factory and POI Loader said there was a formatting error on line 418. I opened the file with Notepad and Wordpad but didn't see a way to find line 418 (I primarily use Linux and only use this MS Windows box to update Garmin maps).

Hi all,

I just got a new DriveSmart 61 NA LMT-S to replace my old Nuvi 2689. So far I am happy with the new GPS except for one thing, I can not figure out how to have that thin blue line appear on the map while I am driving. I like knowing how I got to a place.

Let's have this thread track the availability of the large JCV file that goes with NA 2019.20 that became available today, 6/20/18.

Nine messages after this one, tli has provided the information. Many thanks to him (her?).

Garmin Express is showing map update CN NA 2019.20 as available. Downloading now, will update with results when finished.

Update (device and computer) for DriveLuxe 50 clone using Garmin Express 5.5.0.0 completed with no problems. Took about 50 minutes.

Device: Driveluxe 50
Firmware: 5.70 (most current as of right now)

Issue: I used to be able to push a route created in basecamp/mapsource to the device. Shortly after booting it would get imported and become a navigable route.

Hi,

On a trip last week our Nuvi 40 was burgled (and our handheld eTrex plus...) and I am about to replace the "40" My home is at about 6,250 feet above sea level and in my travels in the western US I am used to displaying the altitude and valuing it.

Several years back I would use Garmin mapping software that I downloaded when I updated my GPS devices. I know that Base Camp replaced it. What is the name of that and can I still get it somehow? Was it MapSource?

Has anyone done a POI file of Apple Stores?
