Thread: DriveSmart 51LMTHD (Enterprise Rental Edition) Restricted Mode SOLVED

Why would you want to remove the Restricted Mode off on a DriveSmart 51LMTHD (Enterprise Rental Edition)???

When I use any of my Garmin units I never play with it while I am driving.
If I need to check a new location I stop my car and lookup a place after I turnoff the destination I was going to.
But have never had to do that in the first place.
I setup my places I will go to on the main screen long before I set off so they are all there when I need them.
Then when I am ready to go I tap on the one I will be going to first.

The whole point of this Restriction on a DriveSmart 51LMTHD (Enterprise Rental Edition) or any other model that has this Restriction mode is for safety reasons.

It is just like leave your fingers off your smartphone too many accidents have happened by taking your eyes off the road just to play with your Garmin unit or smartphone.

Arrive a live...........

PLus no one is going to go through all those steps just to be able to disable the Restricted Mode.
One mistake screwing with the settings.db and you have a nice paper weight for your desk.

To make it the same as every other Nuvi in the world that do have the option to disable it.
Because many of us have partners or passengers who can operate it while we are driving.
And lots of other reasons

Clearly one already has, and there's a lot of interest it's been asked many times previously.
And insight into the internals can help with a lot of other things, it was an excellent post.

Apart from not doing basic homework before posting, why are you constantly putting down and discouraging those who make the valuable contributions?
