I just have to say that you are excellent in conveying your knowledge of the Garmin Satnavs! My problem was simply that I could not fathom out just how to fit the Ball Joint! Sounds simple, but being a plastic material (that could easily break using force), I decided to check out your video tutorial. My Garmin (52 LM) has those two small clips on the rear of the unit. Your tutorial helped me understand that these clips were for the release of the 'cup' section from the unit. My first thought was - that these two small clips were just to 'lock' the ball joint following insertion, to prevent the Unit from moving on the ball joint. Not only have you succeeded in making a great tutorial, from reading the comments, you have also helped many people with the myriad of Satnav issues. Thanks so much, and greetings from Australia.

May be i had not updated the software for long?..i dont know but when i connected it with PC i found its battery sign was showing 'zero'.

Thank you for your compliments, The most common reason for the GPS to suddenly turn off is either bad battery, or loose USB port. If the battery is completely dead the slightest interruption to it's DC Power Source leads to sudden power loss. Interruption in power source could be due to any of the following: 1 Lose USB Port On The GPS Itself, 2. Lose USB Plug on The Cable, 3. Loose connection somewhere in the car charger, 4. poor connection to the car cigarette lighter port. If the battery is fully charged and healthy even a sudden DC Power interruption will not shut off the GPS, it will simply switch to battery power.

You could do that and the unit should work fine, but I don't recommend doing that. The reason is to have battery backup power in case the cigarette lighter cord gets lose or cuts off power. As you know when you hit a bump or if you accidentally move the cigarette lighter cable it could cut off the power; and that will cause your Garmin to shut down while you are in the middle of a rout.

Always start a new rout otherwise it will add multiple stops to the previously entered routs. For example if you want to drive to Las Vegas you enter the address for Vegas, then halfway to Vegas you decide to visit your friend who lives on your rout to Vegas. In this situation you can add your friends address to your active rout, the GPS will take you to his house first and once you get to his house it will continue to guide you to get to Vegas. However once you arrived to Vegas and you want to go to a restaurant you will need to start a new route.

Also if an accident happens it takes many seconds, or in some cases minutes for these service providers to notify the Garmin users.

Hi, yes this is a good GPS but not specifically designed for harsh environments, for that you need a land GPS with Topographical maps. Although this can handle the Topographical third party maps, it cannot take a fall or excessive heat. So it is a good idea to remove the GPS from the Windshield if the car is being parked in the sun, but if you are driving it with the AC or Fan running it should be fine.

There are dozens of factors that could determine the most fuel-efficient route. Here are a few 1. The distance difference between the fastest route and shortest distance 2. The number of Stop Signs, Red Lights, Speed Bumps, etc. on the shortest distance route. 3. The road level such as elevation change on the route 4. The weather conditions 5. The vehicle type 6. The vehicle weight such as the number of passengers and other loads. 7. The fuel type ( Electric Car, Diesel Truck, Gasoline, or Hybrid ) 8. The speed limit on each route there are many more factors these are just a few to consider. So to get the best answer to your question, all these things should be considered or the answer will be wrong.

The Micro SD Card goes on the slot under the mount on the back. You can see it in my video in 0:53

Excellent 👍👍

I followed your video for changing the battery on the garmin Dezl 570 And I let it charge on my laptop for a couple of hrs but when I plugged it in using my adapter in my truck the msg battery low came on and it shut off after about 15 mins. The car adapter lights up so why is it not charging and staying on once plugged in?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The laptop USB port does not have enough current to fully charge the battery, especially when it’s brand new with zero charge. So I recommend using an original Garmin car charger to fully charge it. If it still doesn’t charge then there must be something wrong with the battery or the battery plug

@@larrydavis9582 For the first time leave it overnight, like 6 to 8 hours, but for each additional time after 2 to 3 hours is fine. The Charging cable must support 2A if it is a 1A or 1.5A cable it may take longer.

@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 thanks for that info. I figured it out. The charger is bad. I used my dash cam cord cause it has the same male receptor and fits in the garmin. Soon as I plugged it in it came on. It won’t charge it though but at least It will remain on as long as it’s plugged in . That’ll hold me over until I order a new charger. Thanks again for your help. Truly appreciated 👍🏾

I ended up buying a 61 LMT-s. I know you told me not to get it but I think it has everything the 65t has at a much lesser price. I will probably use my 65 LMT for every day use and my 61 for trips. I like my old workhouse, the 65t, but on the road I need the extra stuff in the 61. It is also 6.95 inches, a full inch bigger than the 65t.I also got it at a descent price. Do I need a TA-20 power cable with it?

@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101

3 жыл бұрын

No because The TA-20 cable is for those Garmin GPS units that have a built-in traffic receiver, in your case the Garmin 61LMTS uses a smart phone for traffic data so you will need a standard cable

Watched the demonstrion. Did not show initial use. I had to wait 3 minutes for unit to start and then the initial start menu wanted to update while on USB. Screen has now gone into lock while waiting for update for last 10 minutes.

Sometimes update takes longer, specially on the WiFi models which could face slow WiFi speeds.

can you add multiple addresses at a time like old garmin.
