This is a long shot, but... My Zumo XT won't charge when it is turned off. So I set the display intensity to it's lowest level and leave it on the charger (turned on) for a few hours. It charges that way just fine, Don't know what the issue is with it being turn off. I have tried multiple USB ...

I corrected the flag in my profile. This unit was purchased for the U.S. market; it was shipped with NA maps.

I did update the firmware and maps on the unit with GE. Thanks.

So my Zumo XT was replaced under warranty; now I have a new unit and the old unit was returned.

Does this mean I need to delete/reinstall the City Navigator North America NT 2022.2 map in BaseCamp?

Thanks for any advice.

Greetings All. Seeking experiences on battery charge longevity. I bought a new Zumo XT last April. I used it without issue maybe 6 times, sometimes on battery for an hour, sometimes powered via a car accessory socket, connected via USB charger accessory to the USB charging port. For the first three ...

Does this recommendation to not use the USB port for powering the device on a motorcycle due to shock/vibration apply to use of the XT in passenger cars as well (not off road)?

So, I'm using Basecamp to create several routes for a road trip using my Zumo XT. I'm trying to understand how it all works... What are the issues/trade-offs for using waypoints created with the Basecamp waypoint tool as intermediate points (via points) in a route instead of using shaping points ...

The points you set to "don't alert on arrival" will not be available as waypoints on your device. When you set them to "don't alert on arrival" you changed them from viapoints to shaping points. They are not waypoints. If you want to have separate waypoints in a list, create them as waypoints in BC ...
