Zumo User Forums

I actually gave up after hours of trying, for my latest trip to Scotland, and using all of the suggestions made. My wife remembered she had an old (15 years +) Microsoft laptop in the back of a cupboard, so we charged it up, plugged in the Zumo and it connected up immediately, downloaded the latest ...

these past few posts, do not in any way help the OP to sort his problem out, sorry "OWL" All interesting stuff, though. The early posts helped me to understand what was going on.
