Mapsource 6163 Patched
My Zumo 665 has worked fine since I got it. Its been a few years so I decided to buy a map update. In the process the Garmin web site there was new software available for the unit so I upgraded it. The update went fine, and I also updated to the latest Basecamp.
Routes compute fine, but I keep losing route guidance at random times. Will be going along on guidance, and all of a sudden it can't find a way to the route - even though I'm on the same road with a long ways to go. If I select my data and restart the route it immediately picks it up again. It never loses map position so its not losing gps position. Sometimes it will last 5 minutes, sometimes 60 minutes. Worked perfectly before I did the update.
Garmin Mapsource v6.16.3, MapInstall v3.14.4 and Basecamp v3.1.2 patched exes. Download from Garmin site and install original versions BEFORE.
Any ideas how to fix this? Any way to roll back to the original device software? I don't think its the map database. I think its the firmware that was loaded.

I don't think its the map database. I think its the firmware that was loaded. This last link is Mapsource without maps, so no way to build a route within the program. GARMIN really fell on it's face with the 660 and 665. They stopped shipping Mapsource with the maps and stopped supporting it before they started selling the 660 and 665 and by their own admission BaseCamp does not work well with these models as many of us have found out. Another problem is that the XM antenna that is supplied with the 665 is nowhere near as good as the old GXM30 antennas and keeps loosing signal unless you mount it totally in the clear such as on a mast so it is above your head and not shaded by your body.
NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH THIS EXPENSIVE PIECE OF GARBAGE. I have had the same issues in the past. I load my route from a Basecamp created route to the SD card I have in the 660/665. When you turn your GPS on after loading the new route to the SD card it can take a while for it to 'see' the new routes. It will then ask/tell you you have new data to import. Import them and then try taking your route and see if it acts up.

Mine would take a completely different course to just stop navigating and say something like no road at end of route. I would then have to select route and it would take me further along until it decided it wanted to irritate me again. Since putting them on the SD card and importing new routes, I have not had anymore issues. I just completed an 11 day trip with each day a different route created with Basecamp. Yes somewhere on the Garmin site it states the 660/665's are not compatible with Basecamp????
I figured out how to get Mapsource. Download and install the Mapsource trainer. Then download and install the latest (and I assume last) Mapsource update: The updater will see the trainer as an install and allow it to be upgraded. That will give you Mapsource with no maps. Connect your 660 to the PC. Assuming you have Garmin Express already installed (necessary to do map updates), Express will start.
There is an option to load maps from the GPS to the PC. After copying the map to the PC, open Mapsource and go to Utilities Manage Map Products. You will see the map extracted from the GPS, and it should be unlocked. I did find another web site with alternative instructions to install Mapsource. I did not try this because I had already found the 2-step process above.
