Garmin map update

[Easy Rider]

While we are on the subject of Garmin’s has anyone got a reasonable priced place for battery replacement? 20-40 bucks seems ridiculous.

Have you done an internet search for the battery part number ?

I called Garmin about the weak battery in mine.....which I've had a bit less than a year.....and they sent me a new battery, no charge.

And I think that $20 would be reasonable actually.

Thanks ER. I fully charged it and will see how it holds up, if bad I’ll give them a call.

I did this update, It was a small one and only took a minute.

About six months after I got my Zumo 590 I started getting a low battery warning every time I turned off my Spyder even if it had been charging on the bike all day. On my computer I left it for hours to charge and it would never fully do so. Garmin had me charge it overnight with no change in result and they sent me a new battery under warranty.

That is true with all 590's The reviews on it document the problem. My battery is only good for like 10 minutes or so on its own. I guess they just are not meant to be used on battery except for short operations.

No, mine was defective in that it would not fully charge.

It is NOT true of my 590 since I got a new battery.

I now have at least 45 minutes of time from the battery alone......if it is fully charged to start with.

With the old battery, it was about 10 minutes.....or less.
