I answered this on your other post. But, it gets loaded into Themes/Map/.

Michael, thx, I downloaded your theme zip file to my computer, it extracted to a folder, it's a kmtf file, do you just install that kmtf file in the Garmin folder on the Zumo GPS? I just attached my 396 to my PC. The .kmtf files are in Themes/Map/ Once you copy the file to the device, boot it up in...

Michael, thx, I downloaded your theme zip file to my computer, it extracted to a folder, it's a kmtf file, do you just install that kmtf file in the Garmin folder on the Zumo GPS? YES. There is a folder on the GPS. I will have to check to see it's name and location. You copy the .kmtf file into the...

MSTOCK, I have a question, before I let my 550 go, can you confirm that the 396 will display full street names on maps instead of dots in the street names like my 550 does? "

Absolutely. Full display of street names.

I switched out a 450 for a 396. The mount is very secure and I have not had any power issues when riding. Also, I spent some time working on an improved display theme for my 590. The new Theme makes the display MUCH easier to read. The roads stand out much more clearly. I added the Theme to my 396 a...

After installing 2024.20 maps of eastern USA and Canada from my computer to the Zumo 550 SD card using MapInstall, I then went around my neighbourhood as a test, and yes the street names on the map screen display some dots, but street names are spoken in full from Zumo audio when following a route,...

..................... One issue with the 396 is that like the XT is the "fastest" routing option means faster roads, but it does use imported routes correctly. The 396 does have a much brighter screen than the 590 /595. The 396 is almost a halfway house between the 595 and the XT, so work...

I have a 450, 550 and 590. I made the mistake of upgrading my maps a few months back and the 450 and 550 both got caught with the street name display issue. I recently bought a Z.396 and replaced the 450 with it. The 396 is a good buy, just a little more than half the cost of an XT. It operates the ...

The screen of my Zumo 595 seems dim compared to my Zumo 350 and Nuvi 2959. Is it replacable by a user familiar with digital electronics? Before you start dismantling your screen, try changing the map Theme. You can switch themes, which will change map colors and could make the map brighter and easi...

Thanks Russ. This is what I have tried and it only seems to result in making a difference in the amount of time Basecamp projects it will take to ride the route. When the route is loaded to either the Zumo 550 or the XT it isn't making any change to the ETA on the GPS. Any other ideas would be appr...
