Re: The invisible unit

There are cables that will charge the device. There are cables that will transfer data There are cables that will do both. Maybe the cable that came with the unit was for charging only ? Although the one that came with my 590 does both. Its a little short for my liking so I bought a 'charge and sync...

Re: Zumo 595 Portrait Display

Is the delay to do with the Zumo recognising that it is in USB mode, or the time take to connect once it is in USB mode - that from sleep mode 18 seconds from completely off to golden computer image. I sometimes get a white image - but not this time. I don't know the white image means . I assumed th...

Re: Zumo 595 Portrait Display

Converted 590 to 595: In MTP mode. I just timed these for comparison. From plugging the USB cable into the Zumo in sleep mode, 22 seconds for WIndows File Explorer to recognise it, 35 secs for Basecamp to recognise and finish initialising the Internal memory and memory card. Mass Storage mode is ver...

Re: Zumo 595 Portrait Display

Thanks fir that addition Marcel. Thanks too for the detailed info that you posted for me on the GOSExpert forum. The communication problem is one that I haven't bothered with. It tells me that I cant communicate and then manages to do so ! I hadn't noticed the longer delay connecting to the USB in W...

Re: Zumo 595 Portrait Display

Not on my 590 running 595 firmware V4.60.... That is exactly the problem I am investigating. I don't know whether it is the software running on a 590 that causes it, or whether the installed software is software designed for a variation of the 595 (particularly since the start up screen doesn't dis...

Re: Zumo 595 Portrait Display

Thanks Hati.

It looks like it may be software for a different varant. What you said is exactly as the 590 is.

What is the SW version of the 595? Or is that just the software version.?

Zumo 595 Portrait Display

I have been playing around with the 595 software on my 590 as an experiment. 2 issues with the newly installed 4.6.0 software for the 595 1 There is no option for changing display to portrait. 2 It is not possible to schedule a date for a trip like you can with the 590. In both cases, the online man...

Re: zumo 596 next turn not showing on gpx routes?

I have only just come across the symptoms. I realised that it wasn't sensible to have two maps of the same area ticked, so I never did it - until I recently installed the Open Source Maps for the UK, and forgot to untick the others. I like those Open Source maps - so much more detail, but timings ar...

Re: zumo 596 next turn not showing on gpx routes?

What you describe sounds odd, and [mention]Breezly[/mention]'s suggestion may well be correct. But it still sounds odd. Im thinking that what you thought you had done, isn't actually what happened. For example - you said that you went to the start of the route, but it is asking you to go to the firs...
