Hi,

Can anyone let me know how files should look to be added to a Garmin drivesmart? I have applied new firmware so it will take unlocked maps apparently but the format looks totally different from the nuvi.

Mine is a European device. I'm planning to add the USA maps into a sd card but don't know what files it is expecting. It doesn't look like the gmapsupp.img approach of the Nuvis works... any help ...

I understand that Smartlink must be paired with Android phone in order to use Trip Advisor or FourSquare on nuvi 61LMT-S Smartdrive.

Hallo,
can someone redirect me to a threat or tell me if it is possible to "upgrade" the firmware from a zumo 590 to a 595?
Thanks'

Can someone please help me with a Garmin map problem?
I appologise if my questions are dumb, but I am not familiar with Garmin files.
My original unit was a Nuvi 1340 and I purchased the North America NT map a year ago.
The Nuvi got damaged and I have now purchased a Drive 51.
When the SD card containing the American map is inserted, the Drive 51 states the map cannot be unlocked.
On ...
