Garmin …… things that shit me !

[Alan RootsMember]

Garmin Guru’s :whistle:

When using Base Camp to plan a route or just sussing options there is a stupid pop up widow that covers over where you are looking telling you useless irrelevant information about where you are pointing …. anyone know how to get rid of this permanently ? :angry:

On my Montana , the unit reroutes me onto other roads at it’s own decision at times , what setting stops this from happening ?

when I have it setup the way I want , is there a lock function to keep all the settings set that way ?
Seems mine changes the settings to what IT wants them to be every time I turn it on .

Cheers Alan

Umm Al, are you actually working with a route or a track? Routes when planning will have a pop up box. The box that will pop up when working with tracks can be clicked on and closed. Once I get a track done and set the way points for the dumbest GPS I will see that weekend I convert to a route again keeping it to 199 as thats all a 220 can handle

I live in basecamp and only work in tracks as that is what my Garmins record in. I load tracks on Montanas and basically everything now at the navigation rides except Zumo 220’s and Zumo 550’s

Mate I promise I will come up and sit with you and sort both. If you come to the Feb navigation ride and get there half and hour early I will give you some time and show you

If any of that has helped ask away

Hey TB and all
Have just bought Tim an Oregan Garmin 650 ($499 at Johny appleseed)
Was best price on the day. And I am not one to shop around for more than ten minutes. :pinch:
Was delivered the next mornin, free of charge.
Happy with what we bought, though have not tried it yet.
Gonna leave it up to Tim, to figure it out. :blink: :blush:
Looks the go and then we bought him Oz and NZ Topo maps for another 2 hungey.
:pinch:
Cheers
Maybe we can get out and lead even more stuff, now.
