Not sure about that. In the V you have the option of deleting any one route or some or all irrespective of where they have come from. A gpx route sent to you still has to be opened by BaseCamp before it can be transferred to the GPS so it's no different to one generated directly by BaseCamp and cop...

Also my wishes for a Happy New Year

When I travel to the UK - or anywhere with a specific route - I generate a route in Basecamp and copy it directly to the GPS.  Afterwards, you can delete the route(s) directly from the USer Menu in the GPS.  If you copy a GPX to the device, then you need to manually delete it. (I l...

They use the same maps, unless of course you have a new GPS, with an "older" model.  Then there are two sorts of maps available.  The newer NTU, updated 4 times a year, and the NT (which the 660 uses.)  I understand the NT set of maps are updated twice a year. My...

You are indeed correct MapSource is no longer supported by Garmin.  Or at least maintained - however it is the official product of choice by Garmin for an "older" device such as the 660. Keeping the maps up-to-date is via Garmin Express, which is another product.  This wi...

I would be interested in discovering how you transfer the data to the Zumo 660. One of the advantages of using BaseCamp/MapSource is that you use the same map as on the device.  This means there are fewer recalculations & strange routings between creating the route and uploading it.&...

I am not aware of any possibility to upload to a Zumo 660 from an Android device.  It can be done via a Windows PC, or Mac. The best way to upload routes is via BaseCamp (free download from Garmin) alternatively use MapSource (also free download from Garmin)  However these are not ...

I agree with you Paulh.  I have a 2010 model, and I ride virtually all year round.  It is only when there is snow, ice or mechanical problems that really stop me from riding. In Belgium, as your motorcycling costs are tax deducible for the percentage you use it for travelling to / ...

Welcome to the forum, from another new(ish) member on the forum.

I am 6'6" and I get a pain in the seat position, not the back. I have the seat set on the high position, which does sort out the problem of the back, as I sit more or less upright.  Yes the head sticks above the stock windshield, however even with the seat on the low position - it stil...

Belgian car drivers are generally terrible, as the Dutch are too. They all follow extremely close. I've no idea why. Having experienced both sides of the Channel.  I live reasonably close to the Dutch border, I have experience of their driving standards. For a motorcycle Belgium, and in th...

..., so I find myself moving over all the time to let through faster "filter-ers",...[/size][/font] I should say that I am considered one of the slowest Belgians on the road.  I also slide over as soon as I see a fellow bike / scooter behind me.  I want to get to work -/...

I use the bike every day to go to work.  As I find the RT looking naked without her panniers, I keep them on.  I also have a top box permanently attached.  My run involves me filtering through a dual carriageway.  I have never clipped the panniers while filtering ...

Greeting & Merry Christmas (Prettige Feesten) from Belgium

Currently (or at least until Brexit bites) you are entitled to the same Healthcare as residents of that country you are visiting. (This is of course it is part of the EU.) This means you don't need travel insurance to cover your medical problems. The only time you would need it, is if you have to be...
