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 ...

I have a Drivesmart 50 LM.
All updates downloaded thru Garmin Express..
Speed camera box ticked.
Still the unit doesn´t detect speed cameras.

I´ve ticked all options, hidden files, systemfiles etc.
Is there a way to access the mapfiles?

Appears that I initially need to first add the Australian Region ? Garmin Express does ...

Good day to everyone. I bought a Garmin Echomap ULTRA 126SV.
Please tell me, is it possible to put cards on it for free?
Are only Navionics and Bluechart suitable? (I need east europe)

I have a Drivesmart 65 and there are times I will take a trip where I would like to take highways for most of the trip. I will set the destination with "Avoid Highways" unchecked and start my trip.
