Speed limit display on main screen

 

I have two 2797 Nuvis. Both have the same map. One displays the speed limit, but the other doesn't. What's likely to be wrong?

Check your dashboard

Check your dashboard settings. You may have something set incorrectly. But to be certain, you might want to post some screenshots.

I can't find anything in the settings related to displaying the little speed limit sign. What screen do you want shots for?

I originally needed the

I originally needed the screenshots to verify whether you were on the right dashboard or not, but since you mentioned that it is the speed limit indicator that is missing, I no longer need those.

I do need you to carefully check your maps. The detail map has the speed limit information embedded within it. The fact one device shows this data and the other does not means there is an issue with the map itself. From your description, one device has only its base map, which doesn't have speed limit information, enabled while the other has the detail map (2026.30 as I type this) enabled.

both have the 26.10 enabled.

Firmware

I would check for a firmware update first and then try a hard reset. You could also reinstall the firmware even if it's the current release.

Before I went through the restoration aggravation that a reset would cause, I tried something that an AI told me Not to do. I copied GarminDevice.xml from my other 2797 to the one without a limit display. I figured that if it broke anything, then I'd fix it with a reset, but it fixed it, and so far, I haven't found anything else that doesn't work right. If I do find something, then I'll do a damreset.
Thank y'all for your help.

AI is very spotty with Garmin stuff. I had it make feature lists for different models, 75% of it was wrong. That was with a Gemini pro account.

Any particular reason

…that you aren’t running the current map (26.30)?

Why I don't update

I updated the previously broken one last night. I'll get around to the other one eventually. As to why, I don't like to risk "improvements" to something that's already working to my satisfaction, or that does not promise an "improvement" that I don't think I can live without. More often than I would like, "improvements" are not improvements from my personal POV.

Exactly...

Exactly my view on iOS and iPadOS "updates".

…I suggest you consider the update.

One thing about this forum; had there been an issue I think it would have been apparent and discussed here. We have an abundance of users that offer feedback, good or bad.

AI for Garmin questions

I prefer ChatGPT over Gemini for practically everything. It seems to get things wrong less often. It also seems to understand my questions/prompts better. However, if I want an image of something, Gemini seems to render it faster.

For some months now I generally provide the exact same prompt on any topic of interest to me to Gemini, Grok, and ChatGPT.

Often they are similar. Sometimes one is flat wrong. Quite generally ChatGPT writes better prose (I just like the language better), but that does not mean it gives actually more accurate answers.

Your mileage may vary.
