Using Nav 6 on other bikes

[Nutty]

I've bought a garmin 660 powered mount, to use my Nav 6 on my other bike, but looking here now realise that there's a BMW mount with buttons.

If I use the Garmin mount, is there a way to zoom in and out of the map, and access all the features of the device, or is there code written in to the Nav 6 to specifically require the need for the handlebar wheel or mount with buttons?

Does anyone know?

Logically, it should zoom in and out, change pages, allow the saving of points etc independently of the cradle buttons, so as to allow bikermates to operate the device whilst chilling with like minded souls in Tesco.

Logically, it should. Does it, in reality?

The 660 mount will only power the Nav 6. So your zooming in and out is the same as if you hold the unit in your hands.

I'll have to stand in the garden and try that then!

Write multiple posts complaining if it doesn't. Liberal use of the words: 'rip off', 'shite', 'accountants', 'not fit for purpose' and 'small claims court' will earn you extra bikermate points.

Why not just buy the Nav VI 4 button mount?

Given the ongoing problems encountered by bods in this thread:

I can see why Nutty might well hesitate.

Spooky.... I was just thinking the very same thing.
