Garmin Vehicle Files

Does anyone know of a way to view the vehicle (SRF) files? I found that 200+ vehicles that I've collected over the years got renamed so I have no way of know what they are. I've seen this site http://techmods.net/nuvi/ but I was hoping to find another way then converting all 200+ files one at a time. All the other links I've found so far for programs to do this appear to be dead.

Where are my custom POI's GARMIN Drivesmart 50LMT?

I have inserted a memory card and used the POI loader to get them on that card. When I plug in the unit to my computer I can see the POI database on that card. But there is no option on my Garmin to access those Custom POI's. On my other Garmin is was under EXTRAS but there is no such category on this new unit. Does anyone know how I can access them from my Drivesmart 50LMT? TIA.

Garmin Nuvi 56LM constantly rebooting

Hi everyone

Im new to this group and am hoping that you can help me.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 56LM which I use infrequently.
I took it out last week to charge it and it wont charge (either incar, via usb plug or even via the pc) as it keeps rebooting. It displays loading maps, then the garmin logo with the website and then immediately reboots.

OK, who knows this? Nuvi 660 diagnostics

I thought I remembered that on my Nuvi 660, one had to hold your finger on the Battery Icon for 10 seconds or more to get to the "Diagnostic" screen. Holding on the "Time" in the upper right (Main screen) gets me Video & Audio stuff.

Am I correct - using the Battery Icon? Or has my memory failed again? I'm over 70, so cut me a little slack.

Updating Garmin Express

It was a first, but lesson learned. This morning i plugged in both my nuvi's to check for updates. Fired up express and after 10 seconds or so i checked for express software updates. It found an update and asked me to update. MISTAKE. Somehow the auto software update kicked in also shortly after the manual update began and the nightmare began...lol. Two simultaneous updates running.

DriveSmart 50 No screen lock?

I've been the proud owner of a Nuvi 750 since 2008. I love this old thing. I bought a new DriveSmart 50 and cannot find a way to lock the screen. I feel vunerable to the fact that if stolen, one could drive right to my house. I actually put my address in by creating my first trip with BaseCamp. When I entered my starting point it ask me if it could be called Home.

Garmin Length of Route Restrictions

A few years back while traveling on a lengthy trip I encountered an unusual problem with my Garmin 478. I had preplanned my entire trip of approximately 10,000 miles.

FM Traffic Stations Update

Updated GE today to 5.3.1.0 and noticed that there was an update for my 3597.

The file that lists all the FM Traffic Stations has been updated.

Took less than a minute to update.

GE still thinks I need to update the Southern U.S. and Mexico maps though, even though they are the current versions.

Base Camp.. simple how to do "this"

I appreciate that the Garmin Base camp program has a dedicated following.. but. One would think.. it should be easy to create a way point and transfer that point to my Garmin so that I could use it as a destination.

Garmin 3957LMT & Windows 10 problem......Half Solved

I have had the most terrible problem with my Garmin 3597LMT gps. Windows 10 would not recognize it. I have called both Dell and Garmin a whole bunch of times so I hope they are reading this now. I have found a partial solution!!!!!!!

way points on my 3580

When I enter multiple stops on in my 3580 the map only shows the first stop. How can I see the whole route? Can I enter and safe routes?
