Were you able to obtain a USB C to USB Micro - if that's what it is - cable which enables data transfer to and from your 590 from a MAc with only USB C sockets?

I'm contemplating buying an Apple Neo but am concerned about not being able to use the ...

Archive . This is a folder that contains numbered versions of previous track logs. It keeps the last 20 and overwrites the oldest one when CurrentTrackLog.gpx becomes full. If you like to keep them Save the entire folder every couple of months. If you factory reset or delete all of your data ...

Despite resetting my 595 at least three times, there are still (some) tracks and routes held in it. Is there a more effective method of clearing the internal memory or all user data rather than holding a finger on the lower right corner of the screen?

The reason for doing this is that I have ...

As an aside: how does one replace the 595 sw with that for a 590?

I'm afraid that I think that the 550 has not been beaten in the important areas although the Bluetooth implementation isn't great. The 550 screen is, easily, readable in bright sunlight unlike the awful 590/5 screen that Garmin ...

I'd love to see the gpx file of the route that goes through Capel Curig and then the massive detour over Llanberis pass. I can't make my Basecamp do that.

I can undertsand why it would go over to Llanberis before it turns back - there are no places where you can safely turn until you get over the ...

GPS is good but not as fun as paper maps taped to fuel tanks! Although, sometimes that "fun" is less than enjoyable!

I'll be in Barmouth on Friday.

Garmin does seem to have a, perverse, habit of dropping useful features. The 550 has the ability to start navigation when one crosses an active route. This is useful if one has a cluster of designed routes at a location. I've not seen it on any subsequent unit.

Regarding scatter rallies: this ...

Thank you for your comprehensive answer. I'm using a 595.

Reducing the speeds for minor roads is a good idea. However, I tend to be very lazy in my use of the 595. Often I will create a list of waypoints and, simply, instruct it to take me to the waypoint via the fastest route. This works perfectly ...

It seems that "don't allow U turns" was being interpreted by car routing and motorcycle routing in different ways. BC thought that bikes cannot negotiate some, hairpin, junctions but cars can - as shown in the screen grab.

Turning "Centre map" off, as suggested in a reply to my ...

I think it is either both zoom and center, or neither.

I typically check "Center Map" then step through the route points one at a time to be sure my route points are on the desired roads.
I also uncheck it and zoom out to see my entire route, then step through the route points to ...
