Re: Maps to 550

Since you didn't mention it, I'll ask.

Re: Powered baseplate question

I would think that if you look at the bottom of the unit, it should have a corresponding/matching notch for that rib to fit into. I'd bet that it will only fit one way.

Re: Zumo 396 music ability

What I have read of the 396, it is basically a 395 with WIFI. According to the user manual, the Media Player app in the zumo will play music stored on the zumo, or from a bluetooth connection, or Pandora via a wifi link. Here's a link for the manuals(U.S. version): https://support.garmin.com/support...

Re: Old forum

I guess that's one way to stop conversations about a new forum....... It can't take 3 days to restore a backup. He intended to shut it down anyway, why would he care if another new forum was discussed, it had been quite clear he wasn't going to get the $$ he wanted and he surely isn't going to get i...

Re: Welcome

Thanks Stu, I'll admit I don't use my 550 as much as I used to(and my 2820 even less.... lol) but I'm still open to helping those that I can.
