Hi
Not sure whether this is relevant on this site , but here goes!

I say Garmin as I've had one and downloaded maps etc off here and familiar with the software etc.
Have a few questions?
Can the above sat nav be firmware patched as other Garmin devices?
Are Truck ...

Cannot Unlock Maps

I'm guessing I may not be the only one but here goes. I recently uploaded new maps on my Garmin Nuvi58. All seemed to go well. Garmin Express says the maps are there. However, when I turn on my Nuvi58 I'm greeted by "Detailed maps are required for routing. No detailed maps found on this device", Screen then changes to "Cannot unlock maps". If I look in the Garmin folder on the Nuvi it just ...

Nuvi 250

I have a Nuvi 250 without a USB port, it only has the power supply (it was definitely modified due to a broken USB socket), it has a slot for an SD card.
QUESTION: should I use it as a card holder or is it possible to make updates via USB??
Thanks

Basecamp not showing maps loaded in GPS

Hi guys… for a long time I did not need to show the maps loaded in the GPS (GPSMap 78sc) in BaseCamp. I am absolutely sure that in the past I was able to see them.

It happens that now, when the GPS is connected to the PC, BC downloads the info from the device (WPs and Birdseye files) but then under the “Maps” tab only shows the Global Map but any of the maps ...

PostCode search on Garmin using OpenMapChest?

Hello,

I have a Garmin Nuvi 1300 and have updated the UK map using OpenMapChest and Garmin BaseCamp, as both are free.

I notice that searching by postcode is now missing (?).

Selecting WhereTo - Search Address, yields 'Spell City' and 'Search All', neither of which find a post code. Locale and language set to UK.

Entering a street number, name and city yields multiple results (as there a multiple streets with the same name), ...

66ST battery replacement

I have a 4 year old 66ST and I suspect the batteries are getting worn out. I want to replace the Garmin battery pack with off the shelf new batteries. I realize that the 'pack' of batteries are designed with the sleeve around them so that the button in the unit is pressed to allow charging while in the unit.
I am planning on trying one of the fixes I've seen online on how to ...

Best routing 2025 (combinding maps)

Hello people!

Wonder how does routing work with two maps with the same coverage? From what I understand the routing is "part" of the map (.gmap files).

For example I got the latest and greatest 2025.10 Garmin map and also a more recent (couple of days old) Open Street Map (.gmap file). Both are available in parallel on my device but when I choose to only have one active map I get different calculations for ...
