just ordered a bluetooth receiver on Amazon, it has a 3.5mm jack socket and uses USB type C charging socket to charge the battery, says 15 hours battery time, receiver is with 5.3 bluetooth version. I am going to test using that bluetooth receiver on my 550 by setting the 550 on bluetooth, selectin...

Unless you switch to OSM maps for your 550, you cannot get new maps from Garmin. They dropped the 550 from map updates earlier this year. for new Garmin 2024.20 maps for my 550 here is what i did. I used Garmin Express w/550 connect to computer, and selected 'Computer Only' in the Express download ...

Which brings up one nit to pick. The music player applet resets every time that you power off the GPS. When you bring the player up it starts playing your playlist from the beginning again, alphabetically. The way to avoid that is to briefly press the power button to put it into standby instead of ...

I like the new zumo XT quite a bit. The screen is very visible in daylight. Some of it’s appeal was in cutting the cords and moving to BT. I don’t really use a lot of the wizz-bang features that the new zumo brings to the party, but as a navigator and displaying off-road tracks work very well. I als...

I just found that when I downloaded the newer Nov8/2023 CN NA 2024.20 maps to my 550 the street names come up as S.....R... I have an older full NA map version 2022.25 on my PC via looking in Basecamp. Now my decision is to live with the street name dots on the 550 or revert back to the 2022.25 fil...

I have an old copy of the Garmin 24k Topo maps for my area. Those maps were never locked. That shows street names fine, but the maps are very old, and there are only topographic poi’s in the map set. No features like gas stations, restaurants, etc. A friend and I rode around Vermont on the dirt road...

Yes, that seems to be the case. No fix because of device obsolescence, but it wasn’t a problem until they caused it in the map updates by going to lower case letters on street names. And to compound it they won’t provide an easy way for people to roll-back to a map-set that works. I looked around on...

Came to this forum looking for the solution to this problem. Doesn’t sound like there is one, besides rolling back to the 2020 maps, which I’m willing to do if I can get ahold of a copy of them. I deleted the maps off of my PC a long time ago. Does anyone know of a legitimate source for old mapsets?...

I’m a long time Garmin gps user, and was a member at the old zumoforums before it imploded. Looking for help with some old zumo 550s that still work, and one has lifetime maps, but was stricken by the truncated street names. Hoping to find an older version of maps from 2020 to roll back to before th...
