Thread: Garmin ecoRoute -Save Gas and Money

Hello, I'm new to this site and I'm also trying to get my EcoRoute to work without having to purchase the Ecoroute HD Accessory unit like Cat2115. But I'm totally lost and confused on what to follow on the "Transform a 37xxx to 34xx" link as I already have a 3490LMT US version. Can someone help me on how to unlock/use my EcoRoute app without having to buy the EcoRoute HD unit? This really sucks that Garmin tries to make you buy the HD Accessory in order to use it, plain dumb! Thanks for any help that I can get.

Thanks for the reply but I already did that part and I still can't acccess the EcoRoute app. So what happens was that I was able to set up the profile which includes the input of "car type, gas type, city mpg, highway mpg, and gas price" and then it prompt me to plug in the EcoRoute HD Accessory unit in order to access the EcoRoute Menu. It won't let me go any further than that, so, everytime I tried to open the app, it just says "plug in the EcoRoute HD Accessory" to use it, the only option I have when that pops up is, "try again or cancel" However, I do notice and see that the "Gas Price" show up on my "Speed Trip Log" and that's about it. Any help on how to bypass the HD Accessory unit?
