I'm trying to put in coordinates from Google maps to my garmin camper, but it won't accept them .does anyone know what coordinates setting I should be using.
I've tried several in the menu but not work🤷‍♂️
Thanks in advance
 
Changed it to less and nothing changed!
OK try this.. From the main screen, go to 'Settings'.. Then 'Map & Vehicle'.. Then scroll down to 'My Maps'.. You should have something like this.

What I don't understand is it was working fine then went looping
Well it sort of looks like you only have UK & Ireland maps, which includes a fair bit of Northern France, you may have left this area now.

So only 'basic map' is available.

Try moving the map northwards and see if the detail comes back.

Just to add you haven't got the latest maps.

Have you tried zooming in using the plus button on your map, that should bring up a closer more detailed view.

It’s worth a try, I always update the mapping on my 760 using Garmin Express, not sure about yours.

Well how stressful was that!!booked on an expensive site in epernay!! Beautiful thou. Spent hours trying to take off garmin reload and put maps etc back on. In desperation went to the reception because signal kept crashing. The very kind manager plugged me in the office and it skipped through so I am.not sorted. Thanks everyone for support

I copy the coordinates from P4N or Google Maps and use the Garmin Drive app to transfer to the SatNav. Typing the numbers never works for me!

Well reading this thread has prompted me to get my piece of 💩 Garmin camper 785 out to try and connect it to Garmin drive, well would it connect?🤷‍♂️ NO is the simple answer, I’m at the end of my tether with this pile of 💩 and I’m thinking of buying a Tom Tom camper or even truck satnav, I’m just about done with Garmin, I used to love them but this 785 is a real POS🤬🤬🤬🤬

I wouldn’t burden you with it😉😁😁

I’ve had no end of problems with it, even garmin couldn’t sort it out for 5 weeks of back and forth, “try this, try that! Eventually they wrote me a software update, it really is a pile of 💩
I had a zumo 660 for the bike and it was faultless🤷🏼‍♂️🙄
