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

Well done ! It is quite daunting the first time that you do it, isn't it ? Make sure you know which one was the original 590 - in case you ever wish to restore it - because you cannot use this procedure to change an original 595 to a 590.

Just curious - Do you have the option to change the screen orientation on your 590 that is now a 595 ?
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
