Re: XT not flagging closed roads

Mine is good for that, much better than the car. Some traffic reports use overhead cameras or other user movements. I thought because both these metods would show a clear road (actually closed) that it does not report an issue Horror story about a 7.0 AM flight nearly being missed ! Check setting in...

Re: Talk to XT

Give me a few days to confirm but I(think) can move music tracks and pause them from voice commands on the XT linked to my Sena SRL3. I did not try with my Cardo Pack talk as i found the function on the SRL by accident. That is the sena controlling the music. You are talking to sena which controls ...

Re: Problem Installing Maps to PC

TBH the XT is so flaky when it comes to connecting to the PC. I have had this issue and I used the time honoured and scientific rule of do the same thing over and over until it works.

Re: XT / Basecamp mismatched map versions

I get this from time to time. I check both maps and they are the same version. Just another example of how there are so many more bugs these days in the whole Zumo to PC connection for updates and compatibility.

Re: Updating maps and software

I would add that in the last 18 month I do not update before a big tour or holiday. The update has at times caused too many problems and on once killed the unit. Before this updates were no issue.

Re: Zumo XT on sale..

I think in the round from what i have tried and seen of TomTom and trying to use maps it is the "one eyed man in the land of the blind" The errors and problems can be circumvented with some work. This would be the one I would choose for multipoint fun tours and trips. Point to Point there ...
