Please don't buy this unit on eBay or Amazon. They don't work anymore. Bushnell broke them. Toward the middle or end of March 2014, Bushnell and Accuweather terminated their data sharing contract for the Weather FXi, Hunt FXi and Golf FXi internet-based weather stations. Since the forecast information is freely available on Accuweather's website, all Bushnell would have to do is fix/update the software to grab the data a different way. These were awesome weather stations when they worked and now Bushnell has decided to brick them by refusing to update the software. They have our money and now we have electronic waste paperweights to pollute the landfills. What a great business decision for them! I for one have decided to never buy any Bushnell products again and I hope everyone else who Bushnell screwed over by this decision to brick perfectly good weather stations also decides to boycott Bushnell products.

Hi, thanks for the above info. My issue is different (I think). I've just...

A lot of people have looked for solutions to the message "No detailed maps that support routing" which can appear on Garmin Nuvi satnavs.

This solution can also be used when the message doesn't appear but no maps are loaded. When no maps are loaded try the instructions in paragraph 5 below Selecting Maps on your Garmin Satnav

If that doesn't solve your problem the maps may be locked. In this case return to paragraph 2 below and follow the instructions to the end

(This solution is for both PC and MAC users. Follow the instructions only for whichever you use).

The "No Detailed Maps Found That Support Routing" message may appear on your Garmin nuvi satnav for the following reasons:
  • The Satnav is missing it's unlock code
  • The maps on the Satnav have been disabled
1. To determine the cause of the message, touch the screen until the message "No Detailed Maps Found That Support Routing" disappears.
  • If you see a "Can't Unlock Maps" message following this, remove any microSD / SD cards in the device and follow the instructions below for Retrieving your unlock codes followed by the instructions for Creating an unlock file
  • If you do not get the Can't Unlock Maps message then skip to Paragraph 5. below Selecting Maps on your Garmin Satnav
2. To retrieve unlock codes you need to have your satnav registered with garmin. If you haven't already registered it, connect the satnav to your computer and go to www.garmin.com. Select your country from the dropdown list and click "Register your garmin device". Follow the prompts. You'll be asked to create a username and password. Keep them safe. You'll need them anytime you need to update your maps or solve problems in the future.

3. Retrieving your unlock codes:
  • Log into your myGarmin account

  • Type gmapprom.unl in all lower-case letters for the File name
  • Select Save
  • Close the Notepad window

Creating an unlock code file for Mac:
  • Open the TextEdit application located in the Applications folder on the Mac HD
  • Click Format

  • Click Save As and name the file as gmapprom.unl (Note: Be sure to uncheck the box If no extension is provided, use .txt)

  • Copy the gmapprom.unl file to the GARMIN folder on your device. (Note: Save the file directly to the Garmin mass-storage device if connected)
4. If you have a second maps you may also need to unlock it e.g. if the first map is USA and second is EUROPE this may also need to be unlocked

  • Right-Click on the Garmin or nuvi drive
  • Click Explore

  • Select File
  • Select Save As
  • Change the Save As Type to All Files
  • Type gmapprom1.unl in all lower-case letters for the File name
  • Select Save
  • Close the Notepad window

5. Selecting maps on your Garmin Satnav:

  • Press the checkbox next to the maps to be selected on the satnav
    A tick will appear in the box. The map is now selected.

I bought a bebecar 3 Wheel City Racer 4 years ago. When I bought it, it came with standard wheels which I was told I could come back & order air tyres for it. Then 1 year on I went back to the shop...

The Racer City & At are discontinued in the Uk however parts for the Racer is still available. If your local retailer is unable to assist you, you can purchase these spares direct by contacting Bebecar customer service on 01692 408807 Monday-Friday between 09:00-17:00. Alternatively you can email [email protected]

Purchased tv from circuit city when going out of business was told warranty would begin on date of purchase from manufacturer. 30 days later tv went black. manufacturer says they don't warranty product...

Your warranty should very well be honored and yes, the warranty does start right when you leave the store as long as you have the original receipt, otherwise, they might just honor the production date via serial number. If you have the original receipt, then you need to tell them this and speak to someone higher up, like a manager. It is not your fault Circuit City went out of business.

USB Flash Drive 512

I think they are telling you to purchase a "thumb drive" with a capacity of at least 512mb. Go to Office Depot, Circuit City, etc. and purchase a 1 or 2 gb flash drive (little stick with a USB connection on the end of it). About $20.00 max.

I own a couple of "Kingston Data Travelers" if you need a brand name reference. But there are a lot of reliable units and cheap.
