Garmin Drivesmart 3D building view
Hello Firefox 58!
A question to the specialist for a newcomer to Garmin:
Is with my Drivesmart 50, version 5.90, the 3D building view = gmap3D.img usable?
This file is present under System (unlocked) but will not be displayed on installed maps.
I have already written the Garmin support and received the following answer =
"The buildings that are displayed as 3D are stored in the map material and are updated with it. Please keep in mind that only important buildings will be displayed in 3D. "
After another inquiry, this answer came from the support:
"According to my information, the Drivesmart 50LMT-D does not have 3D building views.
>> Some devices of the 2019 Drivesmart devices again feature the 3D building views, for example:
>>
>> Garmin DriveSmart ™ 65 with Amazon Alexa "
With Navigon one could change with appropriate attitudes in Device and version
make.
There is no possibility to change something here, maybe other software, without that
Device to make "paperweight"!
Or am I generally doing something wrong?
Would be grateful for every tip.

Hi dear!
Garmin Drive 50/60 series do not have 3DBuilding view, they don't recognize gmap3d.img.
There is nothing to do, as it is a Firmware limit.
To know if a Device has this feature you must search in GarminDevice.xml (\Garmin folder).
If you find the following entries the Device has 3DBuilding feature:

Hello Firefox 58,
Thanks for the fast information!
Unfortunately, this entry is not in the GarminDevice.xml.
Is it possible to install Drivesmart 55 software, this 3d-building has Garmin.
I'll probably destroy the device here.
Maybe I also hope that Garmin will offer a software update in the near future,
that contains this feature.
The acquired company Navigon did that with their models at the time.
Thanks again for the feedback
greetings

As I said above, It's a Firmware limit.
You cannot install a Firmware of another Device if they DO NOT share the same HWID, you surely brick the Device.
Furthermore, Drive 52 has Linux based Firmware, completly different from Drive 50
Belive me, 3DBuilding feature is not a great thing, you can easily do without it
