Yes But I wanted to go on the cheaper side to try this to see if it is even something I would use. I have rode for 20 years and never used one before, I have always just used the trail maps. If it turns out to be something that I will use I will go overboard like usual and buy the best.
I ended up picking up a used Nuvi 205W. Now I need to mount it and find out which trail maps to use. and how to set it up.

Unpack this file to folder "Garmin/Vehicle" on device and then choose a one of its in menu "Setting-Map-Vehicle icon".
Thus this guy is the direct victim of the direct Garmin marketing! Originally Posted by Butters

There are no problem with conversion to Zumo but snowmobile is a main fisherman transport in our region and lack of BlueChart is inadmissible...
P.S. I suppose only the one device is really good for snowmobile. GPSMAP 620 (640) is worth his money.Last edited by Giomen; 27th December 2018 at 01:52 AM.

Joey G i have been using Nuvi's on my sleds for about 6 years now, my Fav model to date would be the Nuvi 2555 LM you can pick a unit up off Fleabay for $25 US, run a direct connection to your Battery, don,t run it off your Acc Plug, its Hard on the Stator, I run mine through a 3 terminal Lighted toggle switch, and only turn it off at the end of the day, or end of Ride. I have a few sled maps, depending on what part of the world you are in. Feel free to Msg me for more Info on setting up a Unit. Sorry don,t see how to rotate photo,,,
