Navigation prompts

Don't need bluetooth for navigation prompts (they will come thru the speakers). Just make sure the voice you choose is "TTS" (Text To Speech) so it will say the street names.

Whew!  I thought you were TRYING to conjure up the 'voices'.  Then, we'd have to 'up' the med-i-fi-cation.  har!  spyder

How do you know if the voice selected is TTS, I have been using the british Karen I believe.

[Fired00d]

It will have "TTS" behind it. I'm using "American English-Jill (TTS)". When your Zumo is on press on the "wrench" > "Locale" > and the second item from the top w/the lips to the left will show you what voice you have selected. Make sure the one you have selected has "TTS" beside it.

Hey guys...for those of you not wanting to deal with Mapsource when planning a trip to load to your Zumo...

I was on the Harley Davidson site, and if you are a HOG member...go to the HOG Ride Planner...here's a link.

http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/Content/Pages/Ride_Planner/Ride_Planner.jsp?locale=en_US

You can plan a route either using other people's loaded routes, that are recommended for riding, or you can make your own.  It's an easy
planner, and at the upper right hand corner is a GPS Synchronization button.  It loads the routes into our Zumos.  I like it much better than Mapsource.  Good luck, and ride safe!

Good Tip, Doc.
Thanks

Hey Doc,
Great tip, just got done planning a trip for June.
Nice set up and easy to use.

I didn't like it. You can add or use Waypoints, unless i missed something

Interesting observation in Mapsource routes....they take into account Time Zones when estimating the time of the trip...

Home to Joplin:  1488 miles, 21:00:09 Gain 1 hour
Joplin to Home:  1496 miles, 23:05:51 Lose 1 hour

So the nominal time is actually ~22 hours non-stop travel time.

Same basic route except for minor change in MA for the return trip...this accounts for the difference in miles.

I need to pay attention to this!

That is correct (at least it was for me). Those that have bought a Zumo (or any Garmin GPS) that came w/the 2008 map should register w/Garmin. Once you do that you can log in to your account, go to "My Maps" then "Manage Maps" there you will see the updates available and if you are entitled to a free update.
