Nice information, thank you.
I've got a 42LM I've had since 2012. I have used it a few times over the years. Never updated the map though. Glad to see I still can update it and will get that done. I've got to go to Walmart to get a microchip for it. Got a road trip coming up for Thanksgiving.
My 10 year old Nuvi 50LM still works great. When I got it new, there were 2 options - one version with lifetime free maps, and a less expensive one where you have to pay a fee each year to update maps. I got a lifetime version (for like $20 more) and have never had trouble getting map updates.
yeah it's 100% worth the extra bux...does your have trouble finding position indoors and when it's stormy outside?..mine has started doing that recently but i'm blaming the satellites so far
It will not GPS at all indoors. I can't speak to stormy conditions, cause I usually don't leave the house if the weather is nasty. Still at least as reliable as waze or googlemaps.@@OMNITEK
check this link if yours can still get updates : support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=NT9XVzB1Kh2GVsfa1inKZA @t7zr9et8z
Indeed! I'm so glad I went for the lifetime updates for the Nuvi 2555 LMT when they first released. When I was in the Tigerdirect store, I was debating with myself weather I would have it for more than 2 years. Just updated and it still works great! But I do need to replace the battery.
yeah i'm going to need the battery change on mine soon, but it works great while driving and plugged in anyway...they're still quite accurate actually after all these years.@@jeremiahratliff4332
I updated my old Garmin Nuvi 50LM. The SD card is installed in my Garmin.
I checked if Garmin sees changes in traffic in my neighborhood. In one place, one-way traffic became two-way.
NO, the map shows old traffic.
How do I know if this SD card is readable? Maybe SD card needs to be formatted? Is there anything else that needs to be done?
Should I make any changes to the settings? Thanks.
Hello. I want to buy a GPS unit but I see too many model. Can you tell me their differences? like which one is the most worth buying and why. I found nuvi 3750, 1495t, 255w, 1320, 1455, 2555, 1375t,...etc. Quite a lot and the price is quite cheap, but I only need one. Please answer me
Thank you
I have one of these , Nuvi 50LM .
The express software program will not detect the device.
Tried different cables, different USB ports and different computers.
Support was not helpful, they only wanted to sell me a new device.
I have a NUVI 885T and apparently there aren't any map updates available anymore.
Seems Garmin doesn't support it anymore.
What are my options, other than using it as is and hope for the best, or purchasing a new device?
Is there any other place to download the latest maps for this device?
Now how do i put the right date cause mine stuck at November 18 2004
WhichGarmin model had an altitude function?
And what if you have the superior OS Linux?
it only has the cigarret lighter charger
Is it also possible to give it a software update to improve how it works? And does the sd card have any benefits?
I think sd cards allows you to hold more maps if your device is limited on space.
Any idea why mine is changing launguage everytime i shut it off? It goes from czech language back to german language. Is there any way how to save it permanetly?
Try this: Connect the navi to your computer, there must be a file which is Called: Language (or "Sprache" in german). Try to delete the language that you don't need. Hope it works!
What about the garmin for Volkswagen/seat/Skoda?
is there a name of this navi? Handbook of your car?
How much does it cost to update to current maps?
With these devices i didnt see any paid option for updating maps, just download whati had there...as per if you want the latest like in google maps, i dont think these can handle that much detail anyway.
My brother gave me his old garmin. It does not have a memory card. Can I still use it?
In my experience, yes. You will likely have to chooe between 2 map regions instead of being able to load them all.
where can we purchase the cord that you used to connect the gps to the computer?
i just added the link to the type of cable needed, this one here : amzn.to/4c7MTpn
@@OMNITEK Thank you!!
0:48 that cut deep. I’m not that old
i don't think so either but technology changes too fast lol
@@OMNITEK gone the way of black berry and Pirate Bay. 🪦 my youth
Did you pay anything for the update maps?
No, it was free
How to get a free gps map for Garmin Nuvi 255w
What are my options, lol, thats what i always say
on my 255w, i get purchase option. how come
Mine too
@@nicodar9686 Garmin is greedy, They want you go throw your unit away and buy a new one.
Now I'm using AVT 5 inch gps navigator. Nice one but the voice volume is somewhat low for me unlike Garmin, it's louder by 50%
Not all have free lifetime maps.
Garmin wants $189 au for the updates So NO its not free
Where to get battery replacement?
EBay
Garmin likes to make GPS units not detectable by Garmin Express, They claim that if you don't update the maps every two years you will be locked out of updates, but many folks are saying that their supported device won't work with the garmin express software, which eventually leads to being locked out of updated map support, seems like forced obsolescence in an illegal fashion. Garmin's a dirty company that wants you to throw away your GPS units and go buy another.
This is a bunch of BS. A coworker gave me his wife's Nuvi 1300 which she had not used in 6 years. I went to use the Garmin Express tool and it updated with no problems.
Thank You from a 62 yrold not tech man
I wasn't born tech either haha
my nuvi 1390 wont update, is says installation incomplete and stops suddenly, any idea?
Try reformatting or getting a new sd card.
@@goldfish2289 I did that and it worked thanks
@@atvsandtrails it was a lucky shot in the dark. Glad to help you out. 🫧
THE UPDATE IS FREE BUT TO DOWNLOAD A MAP YOU HAVE TO PAY A FUNNY EXPENSIVE PRICE FOR A RETARDED OLD Gps device
Not on this one....at least for what you see on video i didnt pay anything
my garmin has spain map, the update is free. but to download Dubai map, i have to pay @@OMNITEK
Garmin wants $189 au for the updates So NO its not free the dudes talking crap
@@beeragonewhere2819 You wrong, when you bought one with lifetime updates you have free updates i have a 9 years old 2595 LMT and have free updates !
@@beeragonewhere2819 Some devices were sold with Lifetime maps updates. So as long as the device is detected correctly you should get the associated updates.
This video goes way too fast without showing the how to details. For example, were do we get the cord? Where do we plug in the cord into the computer? How do you get to and navigate the Garmen web site?
Old go pro uses same cord. That’s where I got mine. Also my Nikon uses same cord.
Older Motorola phones and older blackberry phones had the same usb too
If you're on the internet, and have an older phone or camera, you likely have the cord that works. If that's the case, then you know where the USB ports are on your PC. Otherwise, you know, Google around till you discover e-bay.
@@dpaulku you lost me with cord and USB port. It’s like you’re talking Chinese. It’s directions like this that cause me to throw up my hands and just give up. Is there anyone out there that can speak English and give directions?
Boomer
slow down !!
sorry if i went too fast, sometimes i forget that part myself and i keep correcting, and sometimes i have to remake entire videos because i do that. Thanks for the feedback, it helps a lot, much appreciated.
