Other Garmin Navigators

Hello,
I'm a long time Zumo 550/595 and BaseCamp user and forum member going back to the original US site.

Looking for advice on current non-Zumo devices. I see the DriveSmart line on the Garmin site. Do these devices have a track log? Compatible with BaseCamp?

I don't ride a lot anymore and am ...

Re: New MacBook Air - How to Transfer Data


You can go to your user's Library folder on the old Mac using the Go command with the Option key pressed. In it you will find Application support and in that is a Garmin folder which contains Maps. Copy the Maps folder to the same location on your new Mac.

Re: Upate questions Z550 & Z595


Bill, in regards to the SD card, Garmin says 4Gb is the limit, however many here have used card larger. 8Gb and 16Gb are quite common and I personally use a 32Gb in mine. It will hold all my maps in their entirety as well as a large selection of Music(should I need it).


Thanks for the reply ...

I can't answer your Apple OS questions. But, I use a Zumo 550 (and 450) and a Zumo 590. I updated all my devices to the latest map update. I did not have to make any allowances for each device. I load the map (entire USA) to my computer, and then I use MapInstall to load the maps to the ...

Upate questions Z550 & Z595

Hello all,

It’s been a while since visiting here.

I’m a long-time Zumo 550 owner and a much shorter time Zumo 595 user.

Yesterday I came across discussion of the abilities MapManager to pick and choose certain map areas to install on a device. Particularly the 550 with its limited storage ...

Re: Zumo 550 Lifetime Updates

Thank you for that. Another tool to have.

As it happens, some combination of forcing a new Garmin Device.xml file and probably having the 550 mounted up without the SD card in the Zumo, but rather being in my card slot, Mapinstall saw it as the Zumo and happily installed a map set that this time ...
