Re: Map detail

For the sake of completness, and my reputation such as it is - it wasn't my fault Guv! After the replies here I went back to Express and couldn't find the link to download the map to Basecamp so i rang Garmin this morning. They suggested reinstalling Express which I duly did. There was the option to ...

Map detail

I have just refurbished my computer,installed Windows 10 where before I was using Win 7 and have had to reload Basecamp. I am currently trying to create a route but the map is only showing "A" roads and the names of large cities. I want to start my route from Melton Mowbray and use the B686 and it ...

Re: 595 Installation

I opened mine and removed the connector and snipped it off just leaving the power wires! I then snipped the rest off! Realising I still had too much I cut it down further using a new wire from my 4 way relay with a waterproof connector so I can totally remove my mount if I need to :) If I can't ...

Re: 595 Installation

Just a suggestion,could you not loop all the unwanted leads/cables together and zip tie them out of sight? IF you ever decided to sell the 595 the bike mount may well be useless to someone else. A replacement is circa £65. Replacement mounts for 660 are like rocking horse shit--595 ones may become ...

595 Installation

I have finally given up trying to make my 550 work and have bought a 595. The first problem I have encountered is the 6 foot octopus cable. 1) What is the purpose of the USB socket on the cable? 2)My preferred method of connection requires only about 18"/50cm of cable and I have no intention of ...

My 550 thinks it has left home!

Ever since I went to Germany a couple of years ago my 550 thinks it lives there so I have to change the country before I can enter a destination. I tried a hard reset yesterday where it confirmed that I live in the UK but it still assumes I am in Germany on the destination input page. Any ideas on ...

Re: anything special about SD cards in Garmin Zumos?

I eventually worked out that I had an old version of Basecamp with the current version of Mapinstall. I went to the recomended version of both(4.6.2 and 4.04 I think) and then had no problem downloading the latest map. I shall see how it works at the weekend but it seems good at the moment.

Re: anything special about SD cards in Garmin Zumos?

I have a connected problem. Earlier today I did a hard reset to my 550 to attempt to cure a couple of problems. Then I tried to update my maps. It always used to work with my 8gb card but not this time so I tried the "cloning " technique above but my PC wouldn't recognize the card as the 550, only ...
