Caution

Just updated to 3.80
Caution:
When I updated, all my routes on the Zumo were deleted. Fortunately I have a backup of all my routes.
Backup before you update.

Zumo 550 Update

Hi all,
just noted that there is no mention of any volume increase in this update.
Does anyone know about downloading voice updates?.

Cheers

No matter where you go - There you are!

Thread stuck, till the next up-date anyway

Update on my post No2.
The routes can be re-imported from the SD card after the update.

Changes made from version 3.30 to 3.80:
(All routes will be deleted after update, but can be re-imported from GPX files.)

That's two of my requests sorted (African time zones and distance in yards rather than decimal miles/feet).

Several more outstanding, especially the need to quickly swap between route up and track up display, and the ability to display upcoming junction diagrams per the 2610.

Check out your AVOIDENCE settings.

One of the few realy NEW thing can be found here:
Added: "AUTOBAHNS" as avoidences.

A quick test learend me this:
The present (and current) "Highways" avoidence still does not work. Not for the Highways we call them in the Netherlands anyway.
But if you select "Autobahns": It finaly does work!

Only not over too long routes. I.e. Home-Berlin (726 km) does not work and freezes the Zumo due lack of memory.
Home - Aachen (276km) does work.

Well this works for me!

... And there is a new Bluetooth version released as well...

Update on the Avoidences:

Further testing (hey where are yours!) learned me this:

You can select the "Highway" avoidence. In the Netherlands this will avoid the N- roads (how the hell to I translate that?.. Major, non-real-highway's??)
The "Interstate" avoidence will avoid the Major highway's ( M roads in Brittan I guess)

You can also select both of them, and then your route will be guided on the MINOR roads also.

Test it yourself, and report your findings here if you please, since the exact translations bothers me a little

Only that we have done it ourselfs and that it works.

Look here

Many Thanks for the link.

I translated the new AVOIDENCE button's name (Autobahn.. ?) to more British style language.

You can find it on the Zumo forum under this thread (registered users only)

If any of you can post the .GTT file download over here as well: Be my guest!

This sticky title could do with updating - V4.0 firmware's out now...

Right you are.

In between 3.90 came out.

But Zumo 500 owners can better stay with 3.80 / 3.90 and not "update" to 4.0.
It's got nasty bugs.

Care to elaborate? what sort of "nastly bugs" and will I notice them?

I need to do an upgrade prior to a trip on the 1st May but don't see a way to upgrade to the "old" 3.90, only 4.0.

TIA

Dale - have a look at the problems peeps have been having after doing the new V-4.0 firmware update....?

You can get a number of the older firmware revisions here
http://www.tramsoft.ch/gps/garmin_zumo550-firmware-upgrades_en.html

I still haven't road tested my setup yet as waiting for new bike, but I found 4.0 regularly disconnected from my Nokia phone/Cardo headset combination but 3.9 (with the older vesion 2.4 Bluetooth firmware) as well is more reliable

Up to 4.2 now. It says that 4.1 fixed the Bluetooth connection problems.

Not sure I'd agree with this. I just updated today, from 2.50 to 4.20

Blue-tooth seems to disconnect after only a very few minutes.
With 2.50 I could walk away from the bike 'Perhaps a hundred Meters or more' and the BT rider would always reconnect on returning to the bike.

My Scala rider has not been more than two feet away from the Zumo all day (in doors on the desk, whilst fiddling with the MP3 setup) and disconnects after only about two minutes of non use. I then have to do a search in the blue-tooth menu.

Version 4.30 just came out
