    Desperate need help with Garmin 500 printout

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    All of a sudden I can't get the Activity data (the ride I just did with all the data) to print out correctly on my Canon MX870. The data on the right doesn't print out. The map doesn't contain the entire course. Everything is cut off on the right.

    This is what I am trying to print.

    This is what prints out. Note the map on the right. It doesn't show the entire ride.

    I have tried everything I can think of.
    Scaling the print down
    Changing the margins
    Changing the font
    Printing at a full width
    printing at fit to page

    Can anyone give me some advice. I have a notebook I put all the bike trips in. It's fun to page through them. Except now I don't add the trips anymore because the information is all cut off on the right.

    I know nothing about Garmin but the printing problem you are having looks like it has to do with page size. If Garmin can print directly out onto the printer check the page size in your Garmin. See that it is set to letter and not to A4 (I think that is the closest to letter size). The two are close but not the same.

    And check your printer to see that it thinks it has letter size paper loaded and again not A4.

    This is what I would check next. Computers are always so frustrating.
