    Default Send location to GPS

    Hi, I have Garmin Fleet 670. Is there any app on phone that can send a location or POI to garmin device .

    I have used Garmin Drive and Dezl app in past , but Fleet 670 is not compatible with both these apps.

    If there a different app that can mimic the functionality? .

    i thinkthere is no one , but you can try to install Garmin smartphone link in that you Garmin, but try to find a crack or mod app about garmin smartphone link
    or a solution that works sure is this: find and download the app: SEND TO NAVIGATION ...so now you can use it to search/found coordinates and then you can copy this coordinates and then you can put them into your garmin on manually with copy/paste

    thanks for your suggestion , i dont understand about the Garmin Smartlink mod app ?. Can you share me the app installable if you have ? .

    I tried using the Garmin Smartlink from Playstore , it didnt work.

    Also is there a way to load Foursquare Poi database to garmin devices that doesn't come with Foursquare POI ?

    Appreciate the help .

    Try with Garmin Drive App
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    Spoiler: Or just use MapSource

    Tried Garmin Drive app its not compatible. Mapsource is an option, but I am trying to send location from a mobile phone. I normally gets location paged to my whatsapp address .

    Felt let you on this segment no help from Garmin either . Right now finding the co ordinatws using the 3rd party site n inputting it in garmin, but if there is a way to send it will be amazing.

    Another potential but still messy work around if your phone has OTG and you have the cable (or you can read or swap in the memory card) is to use a phone app that can save the location(s) as a .gpx and put the .gpx file in the device or memory card top level "GPX" folder.
    Then in the device Where to > Saved and the location(s) should be showing in the list.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it's too much hassle .
    Fleet 670 has NFC and my android device have NFC as well. Is there any way to make Fleet read location via NFC .

    Sure
    10BTC and it will be done

    Or write directly to the creators of the NFC protocol and Garmin maybe they will grant your wish

    Jokes apart , is there any other option i have here ? . Like changing the name of the device from Fleet 670 to something that compatible with Garmin Drive or dezl app ? . I have seen other Garmin Android devices able to connect to Garmin Drive but there is some restriction only for Fleet devices .

    i have a Garmin Outlander that has the same issue , not able to connect to Garmin Drive or any other app.
