Re: Staying with a pre-planned route on 396
After over 3000 miles (so far) on this trip, I can really say that I've wasted my money on this POS. Even with tons of shaping points, when imported my route gets changed to whatever it feels like. Yesterday it worked, today garbage. I'll probably eBay it when I return home and see if I can buy a co...

Re: Staying with a pre-planned route
So far, if I tell it NOT to recalculate when starting the new route (at a state border), even though preferences have changed - it seems to work fairly well. It can even rejoin a route, but woun't lead me back to it. Will even let me load that route a mile or so early and just continue on it. It is ...

Re: Zumo 595 Bluetooth audio
It appears that the 2.0 software may have changed that. I will know in a few days, but initial testing says the feature to set individual volumes is gone. Would be a moot point if Garmin let you set the Bluetooth volume it sends, but alas, it doesn't.

Re: Zumo 595 Bluetooth audio
My problem with 396 through SMH5 is that it's TOO LOUD!! Cut it down to keep from knocking me off the bike with prompts, and I can't hear my cell phone. All clear as a bell, though.

Re: Staying with a pre-planned route
Ok I've taken all the suggestions, marked a ton of shaping points. The trip is from North of Knoxville, TN to Williams, AZ via US-70 (NOT I-70!). I broke it up into states and used Basecamp to figure ballpark travel times so that lodging can be arranged at easy to achieve (hopefully) distances. Auto...

Re: Staying with a pre-planned route
What about mode on the 396? Does setting to Automotive just turn off the fuel minder, or does setting it to Motorcycle do other things?

Re: CARDO PACKTALK BOLD DUO
Because I have a Windows Phone (Lumia 640 running mobile 10), I can't use the Garmin apps (they don't exist for this phone). So I've found that I must use multi-point pairing of my 396 and phone to my Sena SMH5 or they will fight each other. Paired this way, nothing on the phone goes through the 396...

Re: Joining a route
We seem to be going backwards with technology instead of moving forward. 590/595 also having problems with Bluetooth connections which never happened on the 660 Exactly! But they are selling like crazy, Garmin is dropping support for the older ones and forcing us to buy the new junk. And yes, comin...

Re: Staying with a pre-planned route
I never had these problems of getting back to the route or missed waypoints on the old StreetPilot 2730. Just hoping I can find a way to fool the 396 into funtioning the same way.
