    WHAT? My main model is the DriveSmart 50 and I have never seen an issue like this. The unit has been discontinued from Garmin so there is no way to service your unit anymore directly. I would personally say that if this is a simulation and an incomplete map. I would try the following solutions to fix your problem:
    1. Perform a full reset on the device.
    2. Try another full style NTU map through the SD card.

    3. Repatch using the regular format (not the kit) and retry the full map.

    "Cannot Calculate Route" you need to put it in simulation mode to test the maps.

    Repatch using the regular format (not the kit). Which patch is that?

    I have 2019 North America Map in unit and simulation mode works perfectly fine with it even after Firefox's patch.
    When I use the Thailand Map on SD card the purple route is to the right of the actual road, the road detail flashes off every few seconds and the voice prompts are missing.
    The PDF you sent is blank.
    Just had a look in .System and there is no GUPDATE.GCD file - is this correct?

    When you use a software patch, the existing gupdate.gcd file should be removed. This file contains the signature that protects against unprotected maps. The purple route to the right of the actual road sounds like a calibration error but I would need a screenshot to be 100% sure. I would reccomend you go with the universal way for patching and that you have the most up to date version of the map loaded on the SD card. You can do a full reset of the device to recalibrate the device-satellite interactions.

    So your device is working fine as we already established and patching has not adversely affected it.
    I have installed the same Thailand maps on a Drive 61 and they work perfectly fine.

    IMO the maps have been corrupted some how,I would download and reinstall them again (fresh install).
    I would suggest you use The latest WinRar

    Unpack the contents to a folder on your computer and then copy the unpacked files to a clean SD card formatted to FAT32,
    I did the exactly the same ,chose simulate ,New City ,Bangkok, category transport, Airports and these are the screenshots.

    Default DriveSmart 50 Problem

    DriveSmart 50.zip


    1. My location
    2. Where proposed Purple route should be
    3. Where proposed route shows up (always to the right of where it should be) on "Where To" routes.
    If I choose "View Map" the "Vehicle Icon" follows in the correct position.

    Has anyone seen this behaviour before or have any suggestions to the cause. Much thanks in advance.

    You also might want to try a different micro Sdcard...

    Default Garmin DriveSmart 50 acting strangely

    Wondering if any member here has had the following problem with their Garmin device and found a solution. The unit is a DriveSmart 50 LMT-S with lifetime US maps. The unit is up to date with Garmin Express and the US maps work fine under "Simulated Mode". In order to use the unit with a downloaded Thailand map I used a dedicated patch for the device(2267). Went through all the procedures (Reset etc) 5-6 times, same result. Using the device in car with the Thai map (SD card) without setting a destination, the device follows the roads I am using perfectly well. When I set a destination the lilac line (chosen route) does not follow roads and the vehicle icon appears to go straight towards the destination (as the crow flies). If anyone has advice / solution, please let me know.
