Re: Upload looks wrong??

No, but you can force a recalc now by changing properties when you view the route on your device from fastest to shortest and vice versa. If you still get straight lines something is wrong, but without more detail it's currently difficult to say. I think if you change the vehicle type ie car to mot...

Re: Do you wrench on your bike?

For the most part I wrench on my own, and have for quite a while. I did have a BMW dealer replace the FD and transmission seals on my R1100 only because I didn't have the tool setup for the final drive. It was a carry in job for them so they were ok with doing the work, otherwise if I took them the ...

Re: Road Names Missing Letters

Unless you deleted them, you should still have the 2022 ver maps on your PC that you can re-install to your 550.

Re: Motorcycle Mount

Absolutely no luck on the mount so far, i'm constantly searching eBay, did you find any hiding in your garage? The query on the SD card resolved itself - I took it out and now use my phone for music instead! Thanks for asking. Ian Let me look in my garage. I've had 2 mounts previously(one on each o...

Re: Zumo XT map very presumptuous (and needs reporting)

At least your changes are making it to the maps(even if the road work isn't completed yet)
I've got roads around me that were changed almost 10 years ago and the maps are still not updated.....
Every time I go thru the area Garmin thinks I'm in the middle of a corn field and wants to recalculate....

I use a 32Gb SD card in my 550, and have loaded the maps to the SD card, not the internal memory. The new maps available are too large for the internal memory for a complete install.
