Can't unlock 2020.3

I did it again: I installed 2020.3 to my PC and Zumo 660 using my regular (not administrator) account. Now the map is locked in my account and unlocked in my administrator account. Online unlock doesn't work. I'm embarrassed to say that I did this exact same thing once before - duh! I was able to co...

New routes display beside but not on roads???

I know this has come up before but for the life of me I can't remember the simple solution. Yesterday my routes we on top of the roads - today they're beside. The route works fine in my 660.

Re: Basecamp won't download route unless I upgrade to 4.7.0.0

Someone on the Garmin forum suggested using the firewall to block Basecamp's internet access. It worked. I was able to load the route that failed yesterday.

Re: Basecamp won't download route unless I upgrade to 4.7.0.0

Yes, send a route to my 660 from BC. Long story, but a failed W10 update clobbered my user account. No data lost, just the account. I had to build a new account. I've been using BC just fine with the new account (after a bit of frustration getting it to recognize that my maps are unlocked). The gpx ...

Re: Basecamp won't download route unless I upgrade to 4.7.0.0

It's been working fine for me until this morning.

I've been looking all over for the gpx file and I've only been able to locate old ones.

Basecamp won't download route unless I upgrade to 4.7.0.0

I've been refusing 4.7.0.0 nags for some time because of the problems I had with it before I went back to Now when I try to download a route, it says "A newer version of Basecamp (4.7.0.0) is available for download. Please download the latest version" then it closes. Is there a way to down...

Re: Motorcycle mount cradle failing

I fixed that problem on my 660 by cleaning the contacts on the GPS and the pins on the mount. I didn't do anything to the USB port.

Re: Update times

Are you suggesting that the map downloads TWICE for simultaneous PC and device update?

Re: Real cures for erratic behavior Zumo 660

Every time I go through Toronto on the 401, my 660 takes me off the highway and right back on. In places where it's 16 lanes, that can be annoying. I know the road and know there is no reason to divert so I just ignore the GPS. There have been a few times when I've been in unfamiliar country that I'...
