• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

For those of you with a Garmin GPS with lifetime maps. A new map 2020.20 has been released.

PS this is a North American map.
 
Guess I'll have to set it up to download overnight. My DSL SUX! At 1.2 Mb/s it'l take about 3-4 hours. Thanks for the tip!
 
Speaking of Garmin, my ZUMO 660 battery is dying (won't hold a charge) and I can't find a replacement locally. I'm being told by some "good luck, it's a Garmin only item and it's probably not supported anymore." Curious...….Has anyone had to replace their battery for this item?

Ray,

I may still have the two batteries from our 660 that died from a different cause. If I do you can have them. I should be home from our trip by Sunday. I will let you know.

I also have a ZUMO 660, and it is new to me. How do you find this battery and where it is located? Thanks.

There is a slider on the bottom of the Zumo 660. Slide it and the battery cover door will release. Take off the door and there is the battery. Also there is the usb plug you use to connect to your computer to update the firmware and maps.

PS Here is a link to the owners manual. https://www.gpscity.com/pdfs/manuals/ZUMO660-EN-MANUAL.pdf
 
Anyone else running out of memory space? On my last updates(haven't done this one).....on two 665's & one 660, I had to limit the geographical area updated, because of lack of memory space.

Install a micro SD card. Not sure the maximum size it will take. The manual should have that info.

Here's a fix for the 590 batteries which may work for 660 ones if they have a similar connector:

Fixed my 590 battery this way.
 
I have a garmin lNUVI40 with lifetime maps. I just purchased a 2013 RT with a ZUMO 660. I updated the firm ware, but the map update costs $49. Does anyone know if there is a way to update the ZUMO with the NUVI update?

So it appears that your ZUMO 660 does not have lifetime maps. So you either buy the lifetime map option for it or live with the way it is.
