Zumo User Forums

Hi All.

New to this bike GPS lark. Always managed with a map and a bit of prior preparation before.

But for the first time in more than a few years took the bike (GSX750SZ Katana) a bit further than the home patch and went to the EuroKat rally up in Denmark.
I bought a Zumo 346 for the trip. But found Base Camp and the user interface on the box itself frustrating to use! To the extent that I went off on the bike and the Zumo stayed at home!

Anyway, got to Denmark and home again but felt I could have done a bit more as I was always following another rider.

So I decided to get to grips with the Zumo. A G-search threw this forum into the fore, and after "lurking" for a few days I have decided to join up.

I have seen some pretty good info already and there seem to be some pretty clued up folk on here. So hope you don't mind but I will probably be asking some daft questions over the coming weeks.

Cheers

Jim

Welcome! Post away, there seems to always be someone willing to help.

Welcome to the forum Jim. Most of us found that Basecamp took a bit of figuring out (I know I did). Look at the suggestions in Garmin Basecamp for PC/MAC. It takes a while but when it clicks, it's a good way to plan your routes.
Cheers, Pete.

Welcome to the forum Jim. A lot of nice knowledgeable people here ready to help.

Welcome to the forum Jim....no such thing as daft questions just daft answers

I used to think the same until I watched a load of videos and did some reading and figured out the way it works

its a bit alien to other programs but it does work well when you figure it out

I feel the same way now about BaseCamp, it was hard to learn but once you do it is a great program.

Thanks for the welcome all.

It'll be another week before I get back home from work before I can start to play with the box and BC. in the meantime I'll be looking through the "How To..." sections

Cheers
