Recently I purchased a Drivesmart 86 device.

After bringing it home I connected it via USB to my PC. I then started Garmin Express which said there was a firmware update. I installed the update the process went without a hitch and the firmware was updated to 6.80.

After the reboot I then clicked on the "Where To?" selection and then Selected "History" and then selected "All Categories" and everything worked fine, no problems.

The next day I connected the the Drivesmart 86 via USB to my PC. There was a map update notification, I pressed install and the installation completed without issue.

Something happened after updating the maps to 2025.10 because that afternoon I was going on a trip and wanted to look up historical information on places to visit during my trip so I selected the "Where To?" and the "History" selection was gone (Not on the screen anymore).

Something happened after the map updates.

Can anyone help me with this?

Above is a photo of what it looked like before updating to map 2025.20.
After the install of 2025.10 the selection for History disappears.
 
I Have just heard back from Garmin and they inform me that they have been able to recreate the problem and the engineers are working on the problem. This effect the Drivesmart 66, 76 and 86 Devices.
 
I used to have a DriveSmart 65, and it had the feature where one can select the shortest route or the fastest route. The DriveSmart does not have this anymore. It has a useless feature of straight-line, or fastest route. Anyone have any idea if the shortest route feature will be re-introduced ?
Also, the DriveSmart 65 had the feature where it will ask if to avoid Toll Routes, whereas the DriveSmart 86 has only the feature to enable Toll Routes or to avoid them. Anyone know if this important feature will be re-implemented, as it was very useful ?
