Why are you using a track instead of a route from a site called plotaroute :roll: ? I ask not to sound dickish but to recommend this thread -> https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=178. It's for changing route themes- the colors, line widths, etc. on the 595. From what I learned...

What I'm trying to understand is why recalculation should operate on a track at all. It should only be routes where recalculation functions.

When I import a track into my Montana, I get a nice pink line on my map, and whether I follow it or not, the Montana doesn't care, it's up to me to follow it, or not. It doesn't care that it originated from an underlying Google or OSM map, it is just a line. I love it. Nice and simple. But on the Zu...

I got an answer on a another GPS forum. Turns out as shipped, the Zumo 550 didn't support SDHC SD cards of any size, and it wasn't rectified until Revision 3.00 I will contact my friend to find out what firmware revision he is on, but knowing his literacy level, it's never been touched since it came...

I have been trying to transfer the files off a 2Gb SD card in my Garmin Zumo 550 onto a 4GB SD card, that has been formatted and has identical files so that I can later add some updated maps in the extra space it has. But.... Although the Zumo acknowledges that the card is there, it fails to read th...
