Hello.

I noticed a problem on my Garmin 1200 GPS.
The GPS date is incorrect...

Is there a solution?
I've updated the GPS firmware via Garmin Express, but that doesn't solve the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, I have a problem with my Garmin Drive 50 LMT. I accidentally formatted the internal memory, and now I no longer have the gmapprom.img file or the Foursquare file. When I try to update using Garmin Express, it tells me that my device is up to date and does not reinstall the missing files needed to use the GPS. Otherwise, everything else works correctly (language, keyboard, options). Thank you for helping me restore or ...

Hi. I have a Garmin Nuvi 2595LM/T, with firmware 8.30 and the most recent City Navigator map: 2026.10. The problem I am running into is the navigation of the GPS. I had this problem since like the 2020.xx version of City Navigator where for this model of Garmin 2595 - I live in NYC the GPS navigation seems to take me off the highway on a route, drive on the service road then direct me ...

Hi. Do you maybe have some kind of list of which Garmin Nuvi and DriveSmart devices are supported with manual map updates? Like those NT and NTU maps we get every quarter.

Why does the nuvi 2689 device not read the memory card?

Hi, firstly I am a complete muppet with regard to this problem.....

I had a Garmin Camper 780 which worked perfectly for me for over a year in my motorhome, sold the motorhome and listed it on Ebay. (I know :lol: ) Some guy bought it and had it for three days and then came back to claiming that there were no UK maps on the device, ...

I have two garmin alpha 300 handhelds, I have one micro sd card with a lot of maps on it (birdseye, .jnx jiles), I copied the maps to a new sd card hoping I could use those maps with both devices but it doesn't work. The new handheld gives the error of "Invalid satellite file" with the original and copied sd card. I am assuming the maps are somehow locked to the original device. Is ...
