Montana 700, Anyone Else Got One?

Hello All,

Just acquired one of these, the new Montana 700 which is the basic, non 'in-reach' included unit.
So far seems ok, though it was a little expensive, around $1100 AUD to get the unit and mounting cradle.
Bit disappointing to learn if I want to be able to use AA batteries like in the Montana 610 and GpsMap 276CX I have to spend even more money to buy the adaptor thingo for it, ...

zumo 590 upgrade to zumo 595

Hello everyone,

Newbie here, so apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge and stupidity!

I have a Zumo 590, Branded as "Harley-Davidson Roadtech". It turns out, unknown to me when I bought it, that it's a Dealer Demo version. That means no pre-installed maps (and thus no lifetime updates) and only 4GB RAM (Garmin's own 590 has 16GB, standard HD version has 8GB.)

I want to use the whole of Western Europe region maps, ...

used LM55 files to update my dezl 560 - no junction view!

I keep a nuvi 55LM around so I can get map updates. I deleted the gmapprom and jcv files on my dezl and copied the gmapprom and jcv files from the 55lm to the dezl. I used Protected Garmin file toolkit_2254_x64 to unlock the map on the dezl and afterwards it seemed to work fine. However, in the junction view split screen, the right side of the screen (that's supposed to show the junction) appears ...

Garmin nuvi 255w Time updating

HI,

I have a Garmin nuvi 255W satnav unit that was bought recently from an electronic surplus store with the original software installed. When I checked the time displayed, the unit showed that it was 1 hour behind than the current time. I am in the Eastern time zone. Also, the World Clock time for different countries was also off, and the date showed January 30, 2001 a couple of days ago.

I have updated ...

Garmin nuvi 255w map update

Hi all,
I have an older Garmin Nuvi 255W satnav unit that I want to do some map updates. Unfortunately, this unit does not have Lifetime map updates. This has been confirmed with Garmin Express. The installed map is from 2011.
How can I manually update this unit with updated newer maps? Also, I want to install the new maps on a 32GB microsd card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Installing new map on a Nuvi40

Hi all,
Sorry if I'm being a little special here but I'm quite new to Garmin.
A friend has recently given me a Garmin satnav (nuvi40), this is the first time I have ever used Garmin which also doesn't help. The issue is that it comes preloaded with the AUS and NZ maps which are not good to me as I live in the UK.

I have installed Garmin express on my machine and tried ...

Re: Loading maps on old Garmin gps (GPSmap 520s)

Yes you can put it on an sd card inside a folder called Garmin
If the .img file is unlocked, the GPSmap will read the maps, if not you will need to unlock it or get an unlock code that you can place in a file alongside the .img file
