Thank you! Thank You!! Thank You!!! This was very well prepared for and your presentation was excellent! I've had to go back to work to pay for health insurance price increases this year so I'm delivering meds. to patients home's. After viewing your post Ive purchased 2 of the Garmin Drivesmart 65 GPS units for both of my delivery vehicles. Thrse units are definitely not only saving time but the fuel savings in shorter routes means savings of $$$. This routing feature works perfectly!! Liked and subscribed! Have a blessed New Year and please stay safe!!

this is helpful. Thank you so much. How to get a POI from actual position on the map while you are there, with this Drive series models?

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

No problem, to save a place or a location you simply tap on that location on the map and save it. Here is a video on that kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYHaqWqblNB8eqc

[@louvega8414]

Helpful video, thank you. Once you set up the route, can you save it for use later. If like to for example have day 1 route, day 2 route and day 3 route of a three day holiday saved in advance.

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Yes you can, and that is called Trip Planner. You can create multiple trips plans and follow them one at a time.

[@louvega8414]

@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Ahh, thanks again. Very helpful.

[@The-Lone-Racer-30]

I have an up to date drivesmart 76 and have no route optimize function in route planner. When navigating to multiple destinations it is going past the first flag to another flag further away first? In navigation options it's either fastest route or straight line

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Fastest Rout is better because it will take all the Red Lights, Stop Signs and Speed bumps in consideration. So it might send you through a longer distance using freeways to save you time. The down side is you will travel more and increase your vehicle millage.

[@jason8104]

Any chance you could do a little further video on route optimization versus maybe trip planner in the apps?

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Sure I will do that.

Hi, thanks for the useful video! I’m having an issue with my drive smart I’m not sure if I am doing this correctly, but I’ve added multiple addresses that I know to see if the GPS will automatically calculate the fastest route but when I checked the gps’s route, it actually doesn’t go to a stop that is literally on the way, but it instead goes to another address then comes back around which i lose a lot of time/distance Do you know what the problem might be here? Thanks.

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Hi, you need to go to the settings rout preferences and choose " Shortest Time"

[@ronaldlouangamart8191]

@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 hi yes I have shortest time on, but for some reason it routes past a stop that is on the way and comes back to it after

Hi can you help me? I need to add a stop to an already saved trip on my Garmin RV 890 from trip wizard and I haven't figured out how to. Thanks

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Hi, 1. Make sure you are outside where the GPS can get full signal strength. 2. Start the saved trip as if you are actually ready to go. 3. After the GPS completes the calculation and starts the guidance click " Where to " 4. Enter the midpoint destination and the GPS will ask you if you want to create a New Route or add to the existing route choose Add to Existing route.

[@veryveryexpert4255]

Just came across your video, what is the maximum stops you can have.

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

I have personally not entered more than 7 locations, but I had a friend delivering packages who said he entered 23 addresses using this method.

[@dihoru6969]

Hello i have a questio. First update say 10 gb, i need insert card inside or the gps is comming with this 10 gb memory from the factory? Thank you

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Hi, Yes you need to have a Micro SD Card inserted, the internal memory is not enough to handle 10GB update. I believe they have 8GB internal memory.

[@kylehenslerify]

Can you please help me and tell me why mine won't let you add more than 2 destinations? Yours here you add like 5. I add 1 then add to active the second, and then to the third, but the third just replaces and becomes the new second. And so on each time I add new to active route. I deliver chinese food and sometimes I take up to 3 or 4 stops and it is hard to plan only 2 stops at a time. Thank you I hope you see this

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Try upgrading the firmware not with Garmin express, but with Garmin Webupdater.exe

[@tlhuffman]

Is there a limit to the number of destinations you can save for one route? Google Maps limits you to 10.

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

I did 17 routs last year when I was delivering computer parts for this company, without a problem. If google limits you to 10 routs you should try this kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3uwqKhmg7h5rpY

[@cappomat94]

hello, is it possible to upload gpx files and browse them on this device?

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

Yes you can do it directly if your GPX files are unlocked, or you can do it using the Garmin PC Based program called Garmin Base Camp. In order to see the inner folders of the GPS you must put the GPS in Mass Storage Mode. For that you need to see this video on how to do that.

[@cappomat94]

@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I tried to insert the gpx both in the internal memory and in the sd but it doesn't work. on garmin base camp it is written next to a warning signal: the device contains too many tracks (1) only supports 0 tracks. moreover the device does not have an app to access the tracks, it only recognizes the waypoints in the section where you go, saved. And this video does not show how to do this function

Hi, I'm after some help and advice. I recently borrowed a Garmin Drive 60LM from a friend with the intention of buying it from him. I have tried to use it on a journey from UK across a number of EU countries. It is a UK bought model, as far as I can tell. It is supposed to have EU maps loaded. It worked OK in the UK. I Intended to use it to take me to small destinations in France, Spain, Portugal and back to France, UK. but it has proved to be useless, it wouldn't recognise any towns in France, it wouldn't recognise Paris(?) even when I changed countries on the list of countries available. I thought that it would have lifetime maps update, and I could download maps as required. I like the big screen and would love to use it but I'm not sure what I need to do to have these maps up & running. has anybody experienced similar problems? Am I doing something wrong? thanks for your advice.

My m65 will not power on at all

[@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101]

That is most likely due to a bad power cord, or a loose USB port inside the GPS. Try another cord and if there is still no power try to gently wiggle the cord if you get temporary power for a few seconds it means the USB Port is loose inside the GPS and it needs to be re-soldered.
