Garmin &amp; 5800? Anyone running XT on the 5800?

The latest version of Garmin Mobile XT works on the 5800, but there are still a few glitches that need to be worked out (it is usable, though).

I had no problem with Win 7. I have a different version of the Garmin, but you'll probably be ok. You have to get the software from garmin.com anyway - contact Garmin customer service if it doesn't load.

I believe TrainingPeaks WKO+ will do this. The Garmin 910xt is on the supported list.

Has anyone used the Dakota 20 for touring? Or any Garmin unit for that matter. I'd be interested in your experiences. I'm leaning towards the Dakota for a number of reasons (Battery type, battery life, price, features) I don't need a heart rate/cadence monitor(s) I just want directions but I also don't want to be directed on to a freeway on ramp by some piece of misguided software.

Thanks Darth. I detected the problem while trying to use GPS. GPS was not able to find my position and prompted me to go online thru Options. That is when I realized that 5800 is not able to connect to ATT Internet. I think I confused ATT Internet with MediaNet.

Same thing here. After their troubleshooting instructions (or anything I could find online) didn't work, they suggested that their crappy firmware update just "brought out some pre-existing hardware fault," and then wanted $75 to fix it. No, thank you.Don't buy a Garmin, they will just try to explain away their own mistakes.

thx, I guess i'll stick with 540TM :-) I am upgrading from old Garmin that had no map updates and traffic and hopefully it would be worth it at this price. I did use one of the TOM TOM models (smaller one) for a 2600 miles trip in the west coast and routing was really good.

Looks like a tablet is in your future. Garmin doesn't make one, but everybody else does! lol

I'm sorry I can't help you. I never got it working. After an hour on the phone with Garmin they recommended that I return it, which I did. I went back to Polar.

Hello, According to Garmin's customer service, I was told that the older models such as mine, The G2, were no longer being serviced. I also discovered that I had a model that was considered "obsolete". The newer models use a version of Blue Chart cards that are SD-friendly, and mine used the non-SD card, so I had to search for the older non SD-card online. I finally found one that worked on my Blue Chart through Amazon.com. E bay also had the same card-chips, but they were a bit more expensive. I hope this information has helped you, and good luck!

No I am not having those type of issues, but I have had some need of support, and in contacting Garmin support they have resolved my problems, including reinstalling updated firmware and software. So I advise you to go directly to them for help on these issues.

Garmin has confirmed that the Amazon listing is incorrect, and the 1390T does not have those features. Hopefully Amazon will get their information corrected.

Every site I've read (including Garmin's own site) says that the 680 will be released first quarter '07. That implies that it will be released by the end of March. I'm currently holding out for the 680 as I live in a major metropolitan area that is covered well by the MSN network

I can't imagine that the answer from Garmin makes any sense. Further a 2009 map on one device should show the same details and POIs that another (760) running 2009 has. Mine came today with 2009 maps and 3.x software. I've now upgraded to 4.2 There were other updates also made to the traffic receiver, GPS (MediaTek) chipset and BT version.

You mentioned that Garmin strips out features on new releases and then adds them in the next quarter or so. Do they make those added features available through software upgrades or are you SOL if you buy the unit without those features?

Yes. The 310XT supports ANT+ accessories. I bought this heart monitor for my Garmin Forerunner 305 and now use it with my new Garmin Forerunner 220.

No experience with Garmin Glo. Accuracy is related with time. I believe both BT-Q818XT can operate at 10 Hz, like Garmin Glo. I am happy with my Qstarz, love the battery life. Check out the battery life on Glo??
