    NAV Prep question

    Good morning, I am a proud owner of a brand spanking new 2016 RT. I am picking it up next weekend from Grass Roots, in saying that I have a question about the built in NAV prep. What model of Garmin GPS's fit? Can you only use the Navigator V? I already have a Garmin GPS (Garmin Zumo 660LM)...

    Doofus, the NAV-IV, started misbehaving when about 20 miles from the Intergalactic Headquarters of Garmin International, in Kansas. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find that out because (1) I was headed to Engel's in Kansas City for an emergency repair (2) Doofus wasn't responding to anything -...

    2014 - 2015 RT Navigator V Bluetooth Interface Communication Syst control integration

    I'm thinking about upgrading from my '09 RT (which I love) to a loaded (which is pretty much how they come) '14 or '15 RT. I find one of the most unclear and confusing aspects to me is how all the BT / GPS / communication system control interface work together. I've gotten three slightly...

    Using a tablet as a GPS

    Does anyone have any experience using a tablet, say like a Nexus or Samsung, as a GPS running Goggle maps? If so would appreciate hearing how it worked out and what kind of mount you used. Thanks in advance.

    Adding Routes to a Zumo 665?

    Got my son a GARMIN Zumo 665 for Christmas. Are there web sites I could direct him to when it comes to planning and downloading routes he wishes to create on his laptop to put into the unit? I will admit that though I already have the Zumo 660, I have no clue how to do this, and would...

    ZUMO Tech Question?

    Considering a ZUMO 550. If I read the literature correctly, when the unit is mounted on the motorcycle, the only way to hear route instructions is via a Bluetooth-comm equipped helmet?
