Re: Usb connection

I connected a DIN/Powerlet plug to the ends of the Garmin 590 wiring harness. The 590 is now connected to the accessory outlet and can be removed from my bike in a few seconds. Any other bike with the same accessory socket could power my Zumo in a few seconds - as long as a RAM base is on the bike ...

Re: CN EU 2022.10 NTU

OK, never mind. I did it through the Control Panel. And then went through the installation process....twice because it failed the first time. It's all unlocked now.

Any guidance o how to delete the maps so that I can try a reinstall? Can't do it through the "Manage Map Products". I'm on Windows10.

Re: Is Garmin throttling bandwidth?

All depends on your broadband speed. Before going fibre I used to have to leave it going overnight but now it takes about 30 minutes.

Re: Crash while routing

Okay, I'll be the first....I'm recreating the routes from a trip I took last year. Spokane WA to Lancaster PA. I know I could have saved them off of the 550 each day but that wasn't at all convenient. I know this an old post but no-one mentioned this............... and for anyone else reading this....
