Re: CN NA 2025.10

I cannot update due to Garmiin Express no longer supporting satelite internet. I contacted Garmin and requested a memory card map but no dice.
Going to try to do the download with my laptop at the local library.

Re: CN NA 2024.20

I was not aware of that! What files are not installed? I followed Garmins instructions for deleting Express from the Windows registry. However the Express shortcut was still there. I started it and again it prompted me to upgrade. This time it successfully upgraded to 7.16.3.0. I am going to try a M...

Re: CN NA 2024.20

I tried the Express update several times same result. I tried to uninstall and start fresh but the uninstall failed also. I would like to update both the Zumo 390 and my PC but i'll settle for just PC. I can later load mapsets to my devices once the map is updated on my PC. I will look at the links ...

Re: Starts Up on Motorcycle Cradle But Does Not Charge

The tape is wrapped over the protrusion on the bottom of the cradle where the slot on the GPS fits. Here is a picture: GarminCradle.jpg Warning: If you add the tape it becomes a bit more difficult to insert the GPS into the cradle and if you are not careful it may not be fully locked in. Just make s...

Re: Power cord contact failure

I am sorry for the late reply. I was on a 6000 mile trip and not checking the forum.

I replaced the electrical harness with a new one. I shimmed the crade with some electrical tape to make a tighter fit. I had no problems during the 6000 mile 18 day trip so I believe all is well.

Power cord contact failure

During a 2700 mile trip my Zumo 390 stopped making electrical connection. On examination of the power cable contacts one of the gold dots has been worn down. I suspect that this is due to a less than snug fit in the cradle and the vibration in my Motorcycle's handle bars. I have the same mounts on 2...

Re: Loading routes in Google Maps, to check for road blocks

I just found your road block how to and it is a great tool! I checked a route I have planned for next month and discovered a section of it is closed! Fortunately it says it will be re-opened on May 31. I will check it again before I leave and have an alternate ready in case it does not reopen as sch...

Re: Starts Up on Motorcycle Cradle But Does Not Charge

I have a 396, a 390 and a 395 and the Garmin cradle and power harnesses mounted on four different bikes. On three of these cables I was getting frequent "power lost messages" while riding. I have solved this by adding a strip of electrical tape to the cradle opposite the two pin connector ...

Re: Zumo 390 Bluetooth

I mistakenly titled this Zumo 390. Should have been 350. I also have a 390 but no problems with it. The 350 and the 390 user screens and apps are quite different. And I am now having problems with the 350 screen sensitivity in that it has become unresposive. So I am not able to do anything with the ...
