I have had the Zumo 550 since 2011 - it still works well, in that it tells me which way to go if I put in a post code. Unfortunately, that is as much as I understand. (You have to realise I do not understand ANY of what Whatton has written in his "what I now know about the Zumo" topic - I have read it and read it and read it, trying to decipher what it means....)
I am still on the basic maps the Zumo came with - I have lifetime maps from Garmin, but have not worked out how to use them yet. I can't even find out how to download them - I have contacted customer support, several times, but not even had a reply, despite them sying they will contact me within 3 business days.....still waiting 4 years later. I have done that several times, not received a communication back yet.
I have Garmin Express, but I can't find where the maps section is on it. My Zumo shows up on the list when I turn Garmin Express on....and it says to update maps. I have tried it, and I think it has done that, but then I can't see the maps afterwards.
We went to Italy in April, in the car, the maps ran out just after Dover.....good job I have a road atlas. It got us there and back.
I am going to The faroes in August and I need to try to learn how to use the Zumo more than what I can do at the moment - is there a course I can go anywhere does anyone know (I need one for my mobile phone too)? Everyone says "it's easy" - I wish they wouldn't because it is far from easy. If it was easy, I wouldn't be asking for this help.
Is there anyone willing to come and help me work out what to do please? You won't be able to ride home though, not after the beer I shall provide.
