The nav5 came with a cradle that needed wiring in (has four buttons down the side and seemed more for wiring to a bike). I have another cradle which was about £70 which uses a 12v cig plug but I can’t remember what it looks like. Will dig it out when I get back from my alps trip 👍

Battery eventually arrived from Garmin. When they said it was i stock they actually meant it wasn’t actually in stock.

Fired it up at home, couldn’t find satellites. Didn’t bode well. Slapped it on the bike when I actually remembered to take it. 20 seconds, it found me. If only I had remembered to pair it to my lid rather than just my phone :lol:

Anyone updated these on an M1 MacBook. It decided not to find it, although the cheap USB C to USB A adapter may be the issue. I’ll dig out the Apple one, hopefully don’t need a C to micro B as I have enough sodding leads at home!

It can take a while for it (the nav) to be noticed by the pc/laptop etc, best off plugging it in using a decent cable then going off making a brew, mowing the grass, taking the dogs for a walk before attempting to load routes or update the software.
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

So a data USB C to micro doesn't work. First blurb I read said son't use a hub, then on further reading, it says on Apple Silicon you may need to use a USB 2.0 hub. I do have an older Macbook, but the daughter (who technically owns it now) has lost the charger over the summer as she was between school and college :roll:

Only Windows machine is the wife's work laptop, and installing anything on there is a sackable offence...

Remembered to dig out the car Nav connector today 😳. It has a built in speaker at the back and plugs into a cigarette lighter socket.

Well, Still can't get it to talk to even a Mac with native USB A. Wonder if I need to actual proper cable. My Sena was fussy about the right cable. So I look on Garmin - 5-8 week lead :roll:
