Re: Satnav bracket

Right lads thanks for the reply’s, I’ve just looked at the suggestion by wks (Bill) and I’ve come across this 124506736106 and if the holes are in the right place it should do the job. I’m waiting until it stops raining so I can go in the garage and measure it. But it looks promising, just hope my s...

Satnav bracket

Hi, Been a while, so my latest project is to mount my 550 onto a satnav bar above the clocks on my bike. The problem being I cannot find the right backing plate to fit my mount. I want to fix it directly to the bar without messing with ball mounts. The backing plate just needs to have a recess to fi...

WAAS/EGNOS

I can guess from the subject title you already know what my question is going to be. I found this the other day and cannot work out what its for?. I Selected it went for a ride out and couldn’t work out what the difference was, it made no difference to the routing or the screen appearance! Also whil...

Re: LOST on route

All went as expected today, set myself route comprising of ten waypoints? (Whatever they are called) and once again deliberately went off route several times and every time I was directed back onto my intended course. So has far as that particular exercise is concerned all is good. The only part of ...

Re: LOST on route

Well looks like all your suggestions were correct, set a route today, purposely turned off the route and the unit recalculated me back on the route, also returned me back to my fictitious home (1/2 mile away) so good news all round. Just received an email from my bike insurer informing me that trave...

Re: LOST on route

Once again I’m overwhelmed at the response to my posting, tomorrow I intend to do exactly what MSTOCK27370 has done and purposely ride off route and hope the 550 keeps up. I will be riding to my father’s home (COVID exemption) following a pre-installed route in my satnav then turn off route for a co...

Re: LOST on route

OK Everyone one more question, if I’m on “MY” route and everything is going to plan but for what ever reason I deviate from the route will the 550 automatically re-route me back onto my route further down the road (not returning to were I left the route) I’ve got the feeling if I wonder off the pre-...

Re: LOST on route

OK, So now I’ve had a look a my problem, and to me it appears if I don’t stick exactly to the pre planned route it try’s to go back to the start? because I decided to turn in opposite direction to the route (my first turn in my street) the satnav could not just reroute and catch up, it totally lost ...
