Garmin talk

One can edit Garmin themes. Is there anyway to edit the built in icons? There are a ton of icons to use but they are all too large. Some way to make them smaller.. or add something simple like a small colored circle to locate my home.. instead of some huge (green) house.

I installed an update for traffic language translations now every time I turn on my drive smart 50 unit it asks to restart for an update.

to notice that Garmin now displays Red and Yellow lines on the roads indication slow and stopped traffic? Like Google and Wand Waze does?

At C:\Users\jwint\AppData\Local\Garmin_Ltd._or_its_subsid\express.exe_Url_44vgoklnmwzol3f5bx0zhrwgflwejvvx I find 59 folders present, all around 1.6 KB in size and dates as far back as 3 years (when computer was purchased). Is this just another case of Garmin Express not doing well cleaning up after itself? Can most of these folders be deleted?

The YouTube channel, Great Big Story, has added a new video one week ago. The video already has about 1300 comments:

GE 7.16.2.0 ready to download.

I have the Nuvi 2797LM , I keep this update, I went on a road trip this weekend and I was getting wrong directions and some places. I was going to Delaware on North I-95 when the gps was giving me directions to downtown Washington DC, which was out of my way, there was some traffic on the road but not that much.

Just downloaded new update.
I also noticed that one says 2024.10 America Canada & mexico and the other says America 2024.10 all US do I need both ?

Pawleys Island – Litchfield, SC
Stables Lane was the street that led to the entrance of Stable Park. It no longer is and stops at a fence at the park boundary. Garmin doesn’t know about this and uses it in some routes. You don’t want to use it.

The solution is to use the “Custom Avoidances” setting to keep it out of any route.

Garmin Express v7.16.1.0 now available.
Download problem fixed.(Maybe)

Downloading map to PC as I type.

For those that want/need the Large JCV File. Again, Garmin has split the large JCV file into two files, D9673020A.JCV (750.8 MB) and D9674020A.JCV. (77.8MB) Both files are inside a folder named "JCV".

How long until the next update? Discuss ...

Just started downloading 2024.10 from Garmin.

7.16.0.0 as of a few minutes ago. I use Windows so I assume something may be available for Macs as well.

Details seem to be

Fixed an issue with critical software updates not requiring a restart before a map update.

Extended timer to prevent failure for installing maps to the computer.

Fixed a crash when saving a music folder path manually.

Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

Has anyone tried Garmin's new Dash Cam Live?

Beginning July 1, 2023, Garmin map updates will be discontinued for certain Australian and New Zealand Nuvi and Zumo automotive navigation devices. The list of devices is rather lengthy but at least for the time being this change only applies to Australia and New Zealand.

Check it out: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?identifier=14933&faq=pHuPu...

Garmin has introduced a new series of products designed for those that travel in groups such as motorcycle clubs and off-roaders called the Tread series. These features include two-way communication and companion tracking.

I am needing help with proximity alerts not working. I have always used TourGuide in my files with no problem except that poi files like QuikTrip in Dallas or other cities where there's a lot of stores,my garmin is going off constantly. I usually have it set for 2 or 3 miles.

I made the mistake of updating my map from the 2018 version to the 2023.20 region but then lost my voice commands. Apparently I have to install the FULL version instead of a region however I need a uSD card for the latest version.

Hi All.

I have a NUVI 3590 and use the "Tongue" mount with the Ball & Socket.

The Ball keeps popping out of the socket so darn easily, it pops loose if I hit a large pothole.

Plus the "Arm" with the socket seems to droop and needs to be tightened up somehow.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to tighten things up with these ball and sockets type mounts?

Thank You !
