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

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.

My Nav V updates without any problems on my macbook. Use the orginal garmin lead with a geniune apple usb to usb c adaptor.

Thanks for that.

Now at the Mac and left the Nag in the garage...
