Re: Listening to Audio Books on Zumo 595

I thought I'd probably have to get a "converter". Did a search and found this one. Since I have a MacBook, it would work.

Only problem is the cost. But I can download some books in advance and probably get enough for one year.

Listening to Audio Books on Zumo 595

Is there a way to listen to "audio books" on the 595? The audio books I have been listening to on the 665 are in an AAX format. I download them from Audible.

I would like to keep listening to them.

Thanks.

Audio Volume Control Zumo 595

I finally got my new (to me) Zumo 595 interfaced with my 2015 Goldwing. The main issue was that I use an Autocom Super Pro Automatic for our headsets (I have used Autocom devices since 2007) and I had to remove the 665 wiring and install the 595 wiring. Got it all up and running today and tested the...

Re: RouteConverter

Actually it did not come with a real "car mount" just a windshield thingy and a way to mount the GPS Bike mount to that. It did come with what appears to be a power cord for use in the car. Got the maps updated and we shall see how it all works out. Had to add a memory card (32GB) but it o...

Re: RouteConverter

Cool. And yes it came with a Car Mount but I have mount I used in my 1996 Explorer (still have it but it is for sale now) so I could use my Zumo 550 in the Explorer. It has a much stronger mount and, given the weight of 595 probably the best choice. Got it connected to he Mac today but need a memory...

Re: RouteConverter

Also I might well send you a route that I would like to ride with the 595. It will not be available on the bike for a few months at least, until I get a handle on the device. If I were to use teh 595, I would have to remove the mount for the 665, so the 665 would no longer be useable.

I am in the process of "learning" how to use Basecamp for use with my "new to me" Garmin 595. I Have been reading JFHeath's documents (Avoiding the Potholes) and it is informative. Lots to learn. I have been building my routes for my 550, 600, and 665 in Streets and Trips for man...
