Hello everyone !
I am still using an old Garmin Colorado !
It always works perfectly. I hope to find a map here for my next trip.
If I can, I will gladly help by sharing my experiences.

I have added a personal message to the startup screen showing my name & phone number if found. The problem is that the screen remains too dark to read the message until the device has fully booted when the message is visible for a fraction of a second.

Is there a hack to make the startup screen illuminate whilst the device is booting?

Unlike previous Zumo models, it's not officially possible to change the Splash Screen at startup on the Zumo 590 and 595. However, since different Splash Screens DO exist (eg: BMW, Harley Davidson, Touratech have different splash screens from the standard Garmin one) if we knew where these were located, perhaps it would be possible to change them.

When I updated a Harley Davidson 590 to the Garmin 595 firmware (there is no HD version of ...

Hello All,

Just acquired one of these, the new Montana 700 which is the basic, non 'in-reach' included unit.
So far seems ok, though it was a little expensive, around $1100 AUD to get the unit and mounting cradle.
Bit disappointing to learn if I want to be able to use AA batteries like in the Montana 610 and GpsMap 276CX I have to spend even more money to buy the adaptor thingo for it, ...

Hello everyone,

Newbie here, so apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge and stupidity!

I have a Zumo 590, Branded as "Harley-Davidson Roadtech". It turns out, unknown to me when I bought it, that it's a Dealer Demo version. That means no pre-installed maps (and thus no lifetime updates) and only 4GB RAM (Garmin's own 590 has 16GB, standard HD version has 8GB.)

I want to use the whole of Western Europe region maps, ...

Will this map work on DriveSmart 50? Thank you.

I keep a nuvi 55LM around so I can get map updates. I deleted the gmapprom and jcv files on my dezl and copied the gmapprom and jcv files from the 55lm to the dezl. I used Protected Garmin file toolkit_2254_x64 to unlock the map on the dezl and afterwards it seemed to work fine. However, in the junction view split screen, the right side of the screen (that's supposed to show the junction) appears ...

Hello!
As the title says, Im having difficulty installing the 2021.20 North America 49 States map onto my Garmin nuvi 1100. This is my first time doing this and I've spent hours trying to figure out how to install the map onto my microSD card. I've tried renaming the folder, the img file, installing older img files, and nothing works. Can somebody please help me figure out how I can upgrade my nuvi map from ...

HI,

I have a Garmin nuvi 255W satnav unit that was bought recently from an electronic surplus store with the original software installed. When I checked the time displayed, the unit showed that it was 1 hour behind than the current time. I am in the Eastern time zone. Also, the World Clock time for different countries was also off, and the date showed January 30, 2001 a couple of days ago.

I have updated ...
