    FYI - Garmin 2610 Works With PDA Screen Protector

    In case any of you anal retentive types, like me, are worried about possible screen damage, I cut down an extra PDA screen protector I had to fit the 2610 and it works fine! Screen response is perfect! :good: Should reduce the worries for some, at least.

    How do you like your Scorpion helmet?

    A little late chiming in, but I received my 2 Scorpion helmets last week. I am just getting back into riding - am picking up my bike next week in fact. The only comparison I can give you is to the Shoei I had 17-18 years ago, with my last bike. I don't rememeber the model, but I know I paid...

    Mounting Garmin 2610 on Tech Mount

    Techmount says they have changed the top plate for the Stem Mount - that may be why some have had to drill new holes. Another question for you guys - how are you hooked up electronically? Are you piping the Garmin audio into your intercom system? I am picking up my bike, an '05 FJR next week...

    Good feedback, thanks! I'm a sucker for the carbon fiber look, so that eliminates the Staintunes. :(

    Garmin Mapsource - Finding Intersections

    I think Speedfreak might have nailed it. I've found some other intersections, obviously, but those with ramps off Interstates are dicey. More experimentation needed...

    Garmin Mapsource - Finding Intersections

    SCR, Thanks, but that's not it. I should have clarified that I'm having problems with Mapsource on the PC, not on the unit itself. And I do have the necessary detailed maps loaded.

    Garmin Mapsource - Finding Intersections

    Hi all, I just received my 2610 a couple of days ago and have been just playing around with it and the accompanying Mapsource software. I updated the MS to v6.9.1 and the 2610 firmware to 4.60. I can't say I'm too impressed with the MS software, but the thing that is really bothering my is...

    Tech Mount Feedback Wanted

    Hi all, I am waiting for my Garmin 2610 to arrive, and am planning to mount it on the stem with a Tech Mount. I read in another thread that these don't last that long due to the plastic bushings. Can anyone who has experience with the Tech Mounts please comment? Is there a Ram Mount option...

    Electrical Question

    Speaking of service manuals, is this the one to get?: https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FJR1300-FJR...023088750QQrdZ1 Are those "service manual" cds found on ebay worth anything? Anyone here used them? Here's an example of that - looks official... :unsure...
