Re: 346/396 map detail gone/cant enter postcode

Welcome to the forum. Quick grasp at straws. Settings -> Map & Vehicle -> My Maps - make sure that your maps are checked and that you don't have any non-garmin maps checked. You should have CN Europe NTU (2 of them) Europe DEM (digital elevation) TopoACtive PS (3 if them - Central, west, east eu...

Re: Variety of Waypoint Icons Not Showing Up?

I understand what you are saying PaulaRay , and I appreciate the evidence that you have sent. But I cannot see anything that confirms that a point has been created as a Waypoint. Personally I have never had a Waypoint be changed in name (or position) from when I entered it in Basecamp - but I have a...

Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

Get them to take it out of the box before you accept it. There should be at least a little power in the battery for it to work - but bear in mind Peobody 's comment above. Phone Garmin before you go. Ask them if these batteries die if the XT has been left uncharged for a long time. Is there any way ...

Re: Variety of Waypoint Icons Not Showing Up?

Yes - thanks Peobody . Sometimes - not every time, but more often than not - route point names from imported routes get renamed when they are imported into the XT. It also happens with the 595. It isn't a big issue as the names are rarely displayed - Buy are displayed when starting a route (Select N...

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595

I cant help with the iphone. I did connect mine via the Ipad to see the difference - but its not the same. However. I found the packtalk manual useless. I note that you have two edges paired to the phone. BY the time I had finished I didn't want either edge talking to the phone. Explanation in the a...

Take it back. I guess they have given you one that someone else had returned previously ?

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

Still working on this - I've had some success with the playlist from VLC, but hit a snag for which I need to use Microsoft Word. Do you have Microsfot Word ? Actually - as well as that info - send me a playlist file that you created on VLC. I'll modify it and send it back. See if it works. I'll PM y...

Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

Yes - they do not come fully charged. Plug it into a USB adapter = I always use a 2A one - most are less than that and don't seem to work effectively. A Wall socket with a 5v 2.1A will work just as well. Make sure that it doesn't go into file transfer mode. The top right hand corner battery icon wil...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

There is no need to edit the .M3U files manually, or resort to spreadsheets. (Would you do that to create a route, or would you use Basecamp?) I got the impression that VeeBee had exhausted all of the options like that that were available to him ! It worked though, but not straight forward - except...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

What I was meaning in my last post - if you use the Zumo to create a playlist then access that from wherever it has stored it, you get something like this. Well - exactly like this, becasue I have just done it. #EXTM3U #EXTINF: -1, The Boys of Summer.mp3 3:/MP3/Don Henley/The Boys of Summer.mp3 #EXT...
