If you want to move the Garmin basemap from the C:/ partition where Garmin Express auto installs it so you can use it off a thumb drive or just hate having it in the C:/ partition and want it somewhere else on your hard drive, here are the definitive instructions...
I have a Zumo 660 and a locking Touratech mount. The mount works, but the 660 is near death. My question is: are there other Zumo models or other GPS units that I can get that will fit the mount that I have?
Or…..I thought I was in a movie-
A car was struck by a commuter rail train on the tracks in Everett, Massachusetts early Saturday morning. According to an MBTA spokesperson, the driver claimed he was following GPS direction when he began driving on the tracks and came to a stop nowhere near...
I want to remove the GPS mount from my 2021 R1250GS and put a Quadlock there for my smart phone. I've got it all off except for the plug. I can't seem to get the wire unplugged. It's a white male end going into a black female end. There is what appears to be a push tab lock on the side, but I...

I'm wondering if someone in this group can help me with a Navigator problem I'm having. I have a Navigator IV with latest software and map updates. I use latest version of Basecamp on my Macbook Pro. Latest version of US map. I've done all the Basecamp tutorials and when I create my route in...
I went on the Garmin web page and found out they have discontinued the BMW Nav VI.
I contacted Garmin Customer Service and they didn't have information on a replacement unit.
I'm not going to spend $950 at the BMW dealer on a new NAV VI that is discontinued.
Anyone have information from the...

After decades or riding road bikes, I am now the owner of a 2003 F650 Dakar. It is well outfitted for travel, on or off road and I have explored dirt roads in the Cascade range and the Siskiyous in southern Oregon. I have gotten into spectacular country, and made some wrong turns...
Hi all,
The past few weeks I've been having a weird problem with my Navigator V on my '14 R1200RT... While in the cradle on the bike, the GPS charges just fine (except when the unit randomly decides it's been removed from the cradle while I'm going down the road) but it doesn't think I'm moving...
Hi Folks,
new on this forum, looking for some advise on a stupid problem.
trying to remove the GPS unit from the cradle but the device wont come out, i am able to pop the cradle all the way up, however, i'm unable to pull the GPS unit out of its cradle... did anyone experience anything like...
Hi, Kinda old school but I still like using a map. I really like the GPS to show me the upcoming cross roads and the terrain. Very hesitant to put in a "destination" because I can never get rid of it. The GPS has to be off for quite a while (overnight) before I can get a fresh "view map"...
All,
I've been able to download some really nice looking routes from the intertubes but am wondering how I can change the Start/End point on the route to better match my expected travels? The routes each have a start/end specified but they don't necessarily correspond to where I would be...
Hi All,
I just recently purchased a 2014 R1200gs Adventure and have put the Nav V from my F800gs Adventure on it. Everything works but I can't seem to figure out how to change the tire pressure units. On the bike display it shows PSI but in the Nav V it shows Bar. I've looked all over the...
is it just me or does anyone else HATE Basecamp?
I can't figure it out at all...............total frustration!
I'm not all the tech savory to begin with but this program is killing me!
Does anyone know how to convert a google map to GPX?
tks,
Jason
Hello MOA Forum members. I'm new the the community, but have a few years of BMW motorcycle riding under my belt. Last year I traded my 09 F800ST for a new 15' RT. I purchased the Nav V at that time and a chief selling aspect was what I thought would be the ability to view realtime bike data and...
I've 28000 miles on my 2015 GSA and still am uncomfortable with the NAV 5. Would one of you who are geeks please call...I have some simple questions? Call 321-258-1396 and we can arrange a convenient time to talk. I'm not getting the kind of help I need from forums.
