Zumo 660 Music Downloading

[Bryn]

Darren, i got the impression that with the sena kit (or other bluetooth for that matter) your other half couldn't listen to the same music as you, and she'd have to have her own.

I had loads of hassle with a bluetooth set up..so now I'm back with Autocom... Music,radio,speech and satnav for both of us up to about 90 pretty clear. ( in controlled conditions on a closed road of course )

You may be right Bryn. Sonia may have to just plug her MP3 player into the back of her Bluetooth Set. There is a stereo lead in the kit for this so at least she will have something to listen too while I have got my Tom Jones on

HI again Darren, re the"no MP3 files found" message-every now and then this comes up on my 660, I just switch on and off sometimes twice is necessary and by magic its all back......damned if I know,just adds to the hair surrounding modern tech stuff in my house!!

Dezzer, I get the same, sometimes it doesn't recognise music or my headset, so just have to reboot it and then its all there again.

Mine does that too.. Taking the battery out and pushing the card in and out sorts it... Until it does it again... Pain in the arse

I was surprised to find out today that when I type in a proposed route. It does not tell me the mileage or arrival time like my car's Tom Tom Does!!!

Hmm!

I find that quite handy on the Tom Tom I must say.

Apart from the MP3 player and larger screen, I am really wondering what it has over the Tom Tom Rider that's worth the extra £200

Time will tell hopefully

There is one very occasional issue with the 660. On a few occassions I have switched on the 660 and went to play music. It can back and said it couldn't find any and defaulted to Audiobooks - in German

I know full well there tracks loaded on the SD card, if it happens the only thing to do is to switch off the 660 and then switch it on again.

Kind regards

You just need to go into the settings menu and customise the screen view.  I have mine set with time of arrival, distance to destination, time to next turn etc.

The Garmin is a bit more 'grown up' than Tom Tom, but does need fiddling with to get it as you want it.

Well guy's I can't find anything obvious in the garmin menu that will let me change the settings to show journey time or mileage......  So you will have to enlighten me please.

Thank's

Hi

Its fairly easy. When the unit is on go to View Map.
There should hopefully be 4 icons on the LHS side of the screen. They might show things like speed, odometer, overall avg..........
Tap with you finger on the one you want to change ie if its the top right one, tap on that( you might need to hold your finger there for a few seconds.
It should take you to a screen which then shows the other ones which are able to be displayed ie Max speed, Fuel level etc etc
Just select the one you want and a green tick should appear next to it.
Select the back button and the icon should have chnaged to the one you have selected.

If you want things like Arrival Time, Arrival distance etc etc these are only displayed when the unit is displaying a route ie programme in a route and these should show up. If they don't then programme in a route, go to View Map and repeat the above to select the ones you want.

Hope that helps
