Garmin 550 Setup

CaN SOME ONE daKA maybe?? Help.
Debs has soaked the book in tea.

It's also desided that it only likes the fag lighters on the fly.

It hates the downstairs one, even thogh the inverter is quite happy with it.

Think where things are going wrong, is after you select english, then it asks questions I dont understand.

Result is. It works fine, but cant get lat and long to apear on screen. Only numbers that make no sence.

Haydn - here's an online (pdf) manual if that helps - just keep Debs and her tea mug away from it.......

Umm, it's not a street plotter, nor a motor bike plotter. It's a boat plotter, not looked at the site. Maybe getting wrong end of stick.
.Garmin 500 might make more sence. Except for the mobike bit when I looked it up.

Sorry, only wonky lappy here on boat. Gets a bit flustered if asked to much

Bit limited confuser j

It's this one
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/manual.jsp?product=010-00616-00&cID=148&pID=8060

Look at manual and Quick Reference Guide.

If you are having problems with initial setup, that isn't covered, so post what it says (exact detail) and we can tell you what to input
