Garmin talk

So, yesterday I needed to come up with an efficient route to find 14 addresses in Edmonton. In a moment of pure inspiration I figured Base Camp would be perfect.. Wrong.. (so far).

A learning curve obviously but I figured there must be a way to just add 14 addresses and the program would lay out the best route.

The feature set of the DS86 is so large that a document larger than the Garmin Owner’s manual would be required to cover all of it. This report will cover some of the unique things I have discovered as well as the few “Downers” that have found.

My comparison will be between my DS 65 and my new DS 86.

Is it me/operator error, or something else? My 3597 seems to just stall and shows 30 or so hours to install using GE. This is my third time installing. First time I had to leave it to install overnite. The map is already installed to the computer, so download went pretty quick. When the stall happens is when install starts.

For those who don't read the Open Talk thread (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/51847) that made the announcement, Garmin has released the NA 2022.25 map update through Garmin Express.

If you need the large JCV File for this map release, see the download link for it in the "Large JCV File Download Link for Garmin NA 2022.25 Map" thread.

If anyone wants the Large JCV file for the Garmin 2022.25 Map update, the download link follows below. Again, Garmin has supplied two files, D1279450A.jcv (820,976 KB) and D3060370A.jcv (850,465 KB), with both files inside a folder named "JCV". Due to the file size, the download is a compressed (WinRAR) file.

This changes everything. I have been using Garmin GPS unites since the Street Pilot, and this one is a game changer. Here is my first take.

1. Read every word in the Owner’s Manual. It is not included in printed form but is complete on the 86 itself. It is even better if you download the PDF from the Garmin website and print it or just read it from the 86.

March, 2002, eh?

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF GARMIN WOULD COME OUT WITH A SIMPLE WAY TO HAVE VOICE ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NAMES AT SPEED AND CAMERA LOCATIONS INSTEAD OF JUST A BEEP,MOST OF US HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PROGRAM OUR COMPUTERS AND GARMIN DEVICES TO ENABLE THIS FEATURE (IF THERE IS ONE)IT SHOULD BE AN OPTION IN THE SETTINGS ON THE GARMIN IF IT CAN BE DONE.

I finally (after how many years?) found a use for it.

My old Nuvi 855 has almost given up the ghost. I do not like to give up on something until I have tried everything possible.
Booting it up it gets stuck at "Loading maps" and sometime goes beyond that to a completely light grey screen. That's it at best.
Tried the hard reset and when I get the option of "NO" or "Yes" to reset it just freezes at that point.

I've got a 2689 that I've had for about 6 years, and in the beginning it served me pretty well. But lately it's sending me on wild goose chases. It's happened the last 3 or 4 times that I've used it, but this last trip a few days ago took the cake.

I bought a new (not refurb) Garmin Oregon 450T handheld back in 2016. I've used it for 5 seasons now and it's worked perfectly. Recently however, it boots to the home screen and then freezes. None of the buttons or touch screen functions work. The only way to clear the condition is to remove the batteries until the screen goes blank.

The Garmin DriveSmart 66, 76, and 86 will come with 6, 7, and 8-inch high-definition displays that can be used in either portrait or landscape modes, depending on how you want to see the road ahead.

Did the 660 have traffic ?

Hello all,

Good day all,
Long post, odd problem, please bear with me.

My Garmin is always plugged in, I use it because of the backup camera.
But I have been noticing that the POI's loaded onto the device aren't always
there. I have to turn it off and restart, Anyone else having the same issue ? If so have you fixed it or is their an issue with Garmin GPS's

I am thinking about going to a different GPS, Do most of them let you upload POI's

Quite an interesting and wild ride at the ocean's surface with 50ft. waves and winds exceeding 120 MPH. This is not a flying drone but a Saildrone that rides the waves taking readings at and below the ocean's surface.
