    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.

    • @OMNITEK
      @OMNITEK  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

    • @scottwhitesell5476
      @scottwhitesell5476 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

      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.

    • @OMNITEK
      @OMNITEK  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      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

    • @brentmarquez4157
      @brentmarquez4157 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      FYI, I had the same problem with a Nuvi 50LM and finally got it to show up in garmin express by deleting all GPX files in an "Archive" folder in the "GPX" directory on the device. It had a corrupted track log file and was preventing Garmin Express from recognizing it. Using Basecamp or otherwise, see if you can find if there are any errors caused by importing corrupted files and that might give you a clue of what you need to delete or modify to get it to work.

    Is there any other place to download the latest maps for this device?

    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.

  • @IvanOoze1990
    @IvanOoze1990 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    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.
