    Advice on which GPS to buy

    Must have just missed you there, also parked next to the 950. I must retract my earlier comments on poor service from Avnic. They have really come to the party this week. They have booked my unit in and explained the source of this evil. Good enough for me - at least I know that somebody is...

    Advice on which GPS to buy

    Leo, You probably brought back a Zumo 550, local units are 500's (from Europe) but they seem to have the same spec, jus difernt base maps. I had to exchange my version of Sreetmaps 1, seems like a bunch came out with errors. Contact Avnic Technical Support. Give me a ring if you need the number.

Motivation: I use my bike as my daily commute to work, weekend run-around and general personal transport (we are debating to sell the second car - haven't even started it for more than a month) - and when I get the chance as a...

    Advice on which GPS to buy

    I have tried it with routes and tracks with under 100 points that I used on my first generation eTrex - still no go. Look the specs are great, the blue tooth integrates well with my helmet and phone and even the MP3 function works Ok. If the damn routes function worked at all it would be close...

    Advice on which GPS to buy

    I have tried all the combinations, routes to tracks, tracks to routes, conversions using winDb, only uploading tracks, only routes, routes and tracks together, with via waypoints, without via waypoints etc etc etc.

    Advice on which GPS to buy

    When downloading routes from mapsource, importing .gpx files direct from the units memory or converting trip logs into routes - the SW either reports "Unable to calculate route to destination" or has a pop-up which says "calculatng 0%" and stays there - I even left it on for hours just in case...

    Advice on which GPS to buy

    I must admit :oops: that I am having endless crap with my Zumo. The service I am receiving from Avnic is also crap. They have referred my case to Garmin UK who after two weeks came up with nothing and have referred the case to Garmin USA. I am about to turn this whole issue into a Jihad...

    Small compressor to take with on rides

    I think that you will be able to make significant savings on bulk mailing - it appears that it is cheaper to mail three units than it is to mail one.
