Garmin talk

now that i have learned how to use base camp how can i send a route to my riding friends home computer . i have a drive 60 GPS. .now that i know how to use base camp every one wants me to make
routes for them .

thanks for any info .

It's been a while since my last long trip and my memory is a bit fuzzy on best practice for getting my preferred route rather than the "optimum" route.

Changes made from version 8.50 to 8.60:

* Improved software stability.

I have a Zumo 550 GPS on my Harley. It's 9 years old, and I've repaired it three times. I've had a handlebar cradle mount problem that finally died last week. They're no longer made, none on ebay, or Amazon. Found a new one in Australia, ordered it, with shipping and taxes cost $108.00 It shipped yesterday. My GPS died today.......

The app, for Android at least, has been updated today. Sounds good.

WHAT'S NEW

Improved GPS signal usage
Enhanced power efficiency
Miscellaneous bug fixes

I see the stores dropped the price down to $199 for this unit.. I bought one from Amazon last week and paid $249...
Being just released this spring I wonder if there are hardware issues etc that are realized and they are offing them fast to come out with a better one. Just seems odd so I wonder.

i see that everyone saying they have the new updated map for the garmin, my question to you all, where do i get the update

I was expecting to see some discussion on the 2018.20 map update thread regarding the WiFi map update capability on the 2017 Garmin Drive 51/61 models. Maybe I just missed it, but I don't recall seeing any comments about it.

Oh, almighty Garmin Guru's... I plead your indulgence.

I have an old Garmin 1490 and I have just returned from Florida and I have a question about Routing. I've never had this problem occur before.

I will be purchasing a new Motorhome for retirement in the not to distant future, and I know my current GPS will not suffice for that purpose. I have looked at both the DESI and RV770LMT.

Today was interesting looking at the temperature displayed on my Garmin Nuvi 3597. While I was driving though rural Minnesota, I noticed that the temperature displayed on my Garmin was 90 degrees! That was with data received via the HD radio signal. Then, I switched to Bluetooth and the displayed temperature dropped to 82 degrees.

Tried everything in the menu's.. can't get the huge green heart icon not to show on the map... Any work around... I called Garmin and he worked with me and it didn't help..
Something I'm missing? similar menu compared to the 2797 I have.

I have noticed that there has not been a thread dedicated to correcting map errors. We have addressed a couple, but as a whole there are many people who are not able to correct the errors via MapCreator by HERE.

I have a nuvi 67lm memory is almost full, I bought a scan disk ultra 16GB and formatted it fat32 the nuvi doesn't recognize it but it shows up on my computer as a separate file on the computer when I plug in the nuvi into the computer?

Has anyone use a Power Pack with there GPS? If so, what brand are you using?

Does anyone know where the map file is stored on a 2689LMT? I cannot find it in any visible sub folders.

When I went to install 2018.20 last week, the unit told me there was not enough storage available and that the update required 10 GB. Holy cow!

I was going to move the map file to my HDD and remove it from the 2689 so that I could then install the new map but I could not find the file.

Well, I'm about to give up on Garmin. I moved into my house 19 months ago. Google maps added my neighborhood and my house address 12 months ago. Garmin finally updated the maps with my street with this update, unfortunately I still can not enter my house address.

I'm trying to figure out what this setting does. (I want to find ways to extend battery life.) The owner's manual says:

"Display Settings

Display Timeout: Sets the amount of idle time before your device enters sleep mode."

Does this mean the unit is put to sleep when the GPS no longer detects motion?

I bought a traffic receiver for my 58LM and it says "accesory not available". From what I can read the only difference between the 58LM and the 58LMT is the plug but I can't verify if this is the correct one.

The plug is a GTM 25

Any ideas?
