Re: RouteConverter

Actually it did not come with a real "car mount" just a windshield thingy and a way to mount the GPS Bike mount to that. It did come with what appears to be a power cord for use in the car. Got the maps updated and we shall see how it all works out. Had to add a memory card (32GB) but it o...

Re: RouteConverter

Cool. And yes it came with a Car Mount but I have mount I used in my 1996 Explorer (still have it but it is for sale now) so I could use my Zumo 550 in the Explorer. It has a much stronger mount and, given the weight of 595 probably the best choice. Got it connected to he Mac today but need a memory...

Re: RouteConverter

Also I might well send you a route that I would like to ride with the 595. It will not be available on the bike for a few months at least, until I get a handle on the device. If I were to use teh 595, I would have to remove the mount for the 665, so the 665 would no longer be useable.

RouteConverter

I am in the process of "learning" how to use Basecamp for use with my "new to me" Garmin 595. I Have been reading JFHeath's documents (Avoiding the Potholes) and it is informative. Lots to learn. I have been building my routes for my 550, 600, and 665 in Streets and Trips for man...

Re: Which GPS To Buy Now

I apologize for asking this question again but..... I found a used Zumo 595LM for sale on Ebay. The price is $400. It's a bit more than I wanted to pay but, before I push the button and make the purchase, is there anything I should know about the unit. I have and am still using my 550, my 665 and my...

Re: Which GPS To Buy Now

So, some things got in the way of the purchase and I did not buy a new (used) GPS. I am now, looking at this thread and the making of the decision in the near future to go or not. I just looked on eBay and a new 590 was $800 and a used one was $480. WOW!!!! Is it my imagination or did the prices alm...

Re: Zumo 665 music files

I can tell you the following. I have both a Zumo 550, 660 and a 665. On all of the units the "Music" files are stored in a folder on the SD Card named MP3. I just took a screen shot of the storage on the 665 and 660. Here is the shot. Cann't seem to post it as I expected. https://i.postimg...
