Re: can 595 firmware be loaded on a 590 ?

Only just got chance to check this - no, I don't have the option to change the screen orientation.
Also, the converted 590 does not get the "proximity alerts" that I have on the original 595.

Re: can 595 firmware be loaded on a 590 ?

Thanks for the help John, lkraus, that has worked fine. I now have two units running the 595 version.

Re: can 595 firmware be loaded on a 590 ?

I currently have a 595 and a 590. I use the 595 as my main unit and the 590 as a back up when ever I travel for more than a few days. I have the same routes loaded on both. My initial thought was to make both units run the 595 software so they both look and act the same should I ever need to swap ...

Re: can 595 firmware be loaded on a 590 ?

Hi all,
Is it still possible to update a 590 to 595 software? I have one of each unit (I take one as a spare when I travel) and would prefer them to both look and feel the same. I've tried various links in this thread but none of them seem to work.
Thanks

Re: Shaping points converting to way points

@jfheath
Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
I need to start using BC the way it's intended rather than following how I used it in MS.
A new thread for back up/restore is probably the best way forward., as this thread has answered the original questions.

Re: Shaping points converting to way points

Point 1 above, backing up the DB for BC would be good to know. Is it fairly easy to do?

Re: Shaping points converting to way points

Appreciate the replies. Once I've completed working on a route (or a collection of routes for a trip) I save it to my hard drive. If I want to use part of a previous trip I can find it easily from the year its stored under. I also share the file with others via email. I've never been keen to build ...

Re: Shaping points converting to way points

I used the "Custom" suggestion from rbentnail above. It seemed to work when transferring to the unit. I then saved the routes (exported) to my hard drive both as GPX and GDB. When I open these saved files in BC neither are saved as "Custom" routes, both have reverted back to the "motorcycle" profile ...

Re: CN EU 2025.10 NTU

I can no longer update anything. With 7.19 if I try PC only or unit only, all fail. Well done Garmin.
