Hi, we purchased a Garmin from the new DRIVE series and installed the OSM map for Chile, the map was downloaded from this website http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl

When we want to calculate a route (eg. Santiago-Valparaiso) it shows "Route cannot be calculated".

I can view the maps and search locations, it shows all of them, but the possibility to route is not working.

Could there be a compatibility issue with the new Garmin Drive series? If not, what else could be causing the issue.

Thank you.

I have a Nuvi 1310t Garmin and "Where to" search often fails but browsing the map or using Co-ords always calculates a route. My garmin can be set to accept decimal degrees, same as OSM, just use negative values for west or south. Just take lat long from https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/-33.0463/-71.6234

You could test that map by using Garmin Basecamp

It may in fact be a incompatibility. As far as I know, Garmin did not release the specifications for their map format.

We do not yet have OSM-relevant information about this device series in our documentation wiki.

I would try other OSM-based maps for Garmins. Info: there is no single official download of OSM maps for Garmins. Have a look there: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download .

Hi, i have a Garmin Drive 51-LMT and use the OSM map from http://www.raumbezug.eu/ag/internet/osmGarmin.htm Maybe this map works also on drive 40.

Hi Garam I am still unclear as the address of the OSM maps on your attached lists are the same as I download from OSM for adding to the micro SD card. So my reading would be that I keep doing what I have done for micro cards maps on Nuvi Gps , now on Drive Gps. Do you think that is right. Thanks

Anyone with a Drive 40 able to check this. I see no reason why routing would not work on this model apart from operator error or map compilation error. I assume that the op has tried other routable osm map versions by now.

It doesn't support the loading of routes or saving of pre-planned ones but the using the “Where To" should guide you to your destination.
