Thanks Doc! That’s great info for our viewers!

Hey Drisk.. Thank You ! FYI - I'm just finishing a new video on a Complete Setup and Review on a GARMIN DRIVECAM 76. Happy Trails

Thanks Dylan!

@@PompanoBrownie I need some help , I did everything you said and I download the software but it the bottom it also has another option that says “ map update available “ and it the corner of that it says “ see pricing”

Glad I could help Lois!

Thanks Sunny!

Thanks Vejo!

Glad to help Rene!

Thank you Colin! I appreciate it!

Thanks Mohsen, glad I helped you.

Glad I could help you Lorenzi !

Thank John, the updated instructions were needed from my original video a year ago.

Thanks Jim! That cable makes it easier! 😀

Thanks Muhammad!

Thanks Bruhh, I appreciate it.

Try a different computer Vanessa.

Barbara, you may want to try a different USB cable if Windows cannot see the GPS.

You are welcome!

Thanks Travis ! Happy Travels!

Look on the bright side B3, you get to upgrade to anything you want now. Safe travels. 😊

Thanks Strick.. now go travel!

Try a new SD card in a size that Garmin allows.

Thanks for the quick response! The update is 6.05GB, could you recommend a SD?

Rob, call Garmin at 1-855-607-2536 and ask them the type and capacity of an SD card for your unit.

Usually, the people who make the software have what they call a minimum system requirement for your computer. If it doesn’t meet that spec, it looks like you get another upgrade.

You bet Navi!

You Bet TonyLou !

Correct! It gets connected with a USB cable. The newer ones use wifi.

Glad to Help Lordmaul!

Thanks Julie! Glad to Help!

Scott, you need a computer to perform the update on older units, I suggest finding a friend with a computer and following the video step-by-step. You can order the cable on Amazon. Here is a link. amzn.to/2VnEats FYI The newer Garmin GPS Units can update themself via WIFI much easier. Watch my video on the Drivecam 76 and all of it's features. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RO-j3pMpp04.html Or.. just purchase a more affordable Garmin Drive 52 and it has wifi update capability too. Here's a link to that unit on Amazon. amzn.to/3opyT19 *These paid links to Amazon pay me a very small percentage if you use them, without raising the cost of the product. That helps support the costs of making the Videos. Thank You !

Pumpky, I doubt they would let you update a Garmin with anything that is a competing product. That would be great if they would allow that. It’s not a perfect science but I’ve also found a few errors in Apple and Google maps as well. I still like the Garmin way better than using a phone. Thanks for coming to our channel.

You are Welcome Daniel!

Jak, I explain how to perform a “Backup” of your Garmin in the Video. The Backup gets saved to your computer, not the SD card.

@@PompanoBrownie thanks. The problem is 9gb needs updating. It would be so easier to update via WiFi buts it's asking me to update through the website. But I need to put it on sd card so the unit starts performing again

Jak, you have to update using Garmin Express software with the GPS connected to PC via USB cable. Here’s the phone number for Garmin if you need it. 800-800-1020

Cihazın ayarlar menüsünden harita seçimini yapın sonra harita bilgisini seçim çıkan ekranda hangi haritayı veya hafızayı kullanmak istiyorsanız o satırın başındaki kutucukların içindeki seçimleri işaretleyin veya işareti kaldırın.

John, you should call Garmin and find out if the feature you lost is obsolete or moved to a different screen. Here is the Tech support phone number. 1 (800) 800-1020

@@PompanoBrownie I've contacted Garmin already and was told that a Reinstall was needed.

Line, make sure that the USB cable is inserted all the way on the Garmin and also the computer. Then make sure the Garmin is turned on and after all that just fire up the Garmin express app. I would do a reboot on the PC to give it a fresh start and get all that prepared before opening the Garmin express again. Hope that helps.

Sam, it could be due to the fact that your Internet is slow or your computer might be a little older and slow so I would give it at least two hours before giving up on it. Then reboot your computer and don’t open up anything else except for the software and try it again. If you get the same result, I highly recommend trying it on a different computer that might be a little bit newer. Also make sure you’ve got the newest version of the software from Garmin.

I gave sorted it now

You bet Sam !

Jedi, I do believe that the SD card will only be used when internal memory will no longer hold the update you’re trying to install. Here’s an article that explains that. Hope this helps. If it doesn’t resolve your issue, please use this phone number for Garmin support. I have also included. +1-800-800-1020 support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=b17m7lCO3R4UKUAt8x67J7

Marian, if yours doesn’t have the LM or LMT after the model number you are better off purchasing a new GPS. Look in the info section and I have a link to an affordable unit.

Ok...it's a old Garmin from 2009...Will be better to get a new one...thank you...!

Marian, *These paid links to Amazon pay me a very small percentage if you use them, without raising the cost of the product. That helps support the costs of making the Videos. Thank You ! The new GPS "Garmin Drive 52" is a very popular model amzn.to/3opyT19

A sat nav is out of my wheelhouse, call Garmin at 1-800-800-1020

Thanks Raul! Glad it helped you!

A Laptop won’t matter. If it doesn’t complete, reboot and try again with the newest software.

@@PompanoBrownie how bout if I have satellite dish...thank you.

That might slow it down. Just let it keep running overnight or take to a Pc with high speed Internet.

Thanks Athar , my wife and I got lost in Miami once with a GPS that didn’t have updated maps…and I can tell you from experience that it wasn’t a lot of fun. Lol

You are Correct! Always advisable to purchase a USB cable that is manufactured by Garmin. The link I provide in the information section of the video is indeed a Garmin product and you can buy it with confidence. Thanks for pointing this out.

It happened to me! I had to go to the garmin store to buy an original charger because the usb cable we had wasn’t garmin. It charged just fine but my laptop wouldn’t recognize the device.

Thanks Jay!

James, I would try a different memory card. If that doesn’t work, look on the bright side…it looks like a new Garmin GPS is in your future.

@@PompanoBrownie Thanks much for the reply. I did try 2 other memory cards, each one recognized by my laptop. What i finally did was first connect my Garmin, then i went back to download, and it seems it went straight to Garmin, taking around 4 minutes to install. I'll take it out for a spin tomorrow to see if i notice any difference. thanks again my friend!

Peter, you connect to PC with a USB cable. amzn.to/3Axiygi

@@PompanoBrownie Thank you Pompano.

It sounds like your GPS does not give free updates. Try calling Garmin support to see if your model has fee updates. 1 (800) 800-1020

You bet Darren !

Walt, I think the LMT stands for free lifetime maps and traffic. Just try and update it. Give Tech Support a call at 1-800-800-1020 if it doesn’t work.

Waze maps are installed on a Smartphone not a GPS.

Fibby, if that GPS came with US updates than there will be a charge for other countries. In my opinion you are better off buying a new Garmin in Scotland that comes with free updates for the country. I hope this helps you. Here is a link from the Garmin website explaining that. support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=JkPEUtYUF91VrNEPsreYN7

@@PompanoBrownie great thank you-very helpful!

Sorry to hear that, sometimes that can happen if you’re traveling outside of the United States, and it needs more room for maps.

@@PompanoBrownie No, I was just trying to do an update like you did.

@@PompanoBrownie Luckily I found another video that shows you how to insert the card into GPS. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fjxA2fv4-0c.html

Elaine, je ne parle pas français

You can call Garmin to verify if your model gets free map updates 855-607-2536

Reboot, Download newest version and try again. Hope this helps you

@@PompanoBrownie it did thanks 🙏
