My replacement unit does not have a screen protector and seems less affected than the first one.
There doesn’t appear to be a screen lock on the XT (I wonder if this is why they added one to the new units)

Re: how to stop rain affecting XT
Having used my replacement unit on a recent trip to Spain it is much improved. Earlier in the trip I did have a problem a couple of times. I ride a Ducati Multistrada with the full screen and the screen spacers I found rain drops were coming behind the screen and striking it more, the problem was ...

Re: 'Real' Speed not displaying correctly
Thanks for the replies. The point I was making is that this behaviour is something new, the 'speed shown' was always pretty accurate and would settle within a second or two and read slight lower than my Ducati speedo (as expected). The problem now is that it's jumping up in random steps and taking ...

Re: 12 days on the road with MyRoute-App and Zumo XT
I'm not sure on the difference in naming. MRA seems to call it a Via point (which appears to act the same way as a waypoint to me). If you look at the following route you can see my Via points on the map and listed Screenshot 2021-10-29 at 11.22.05.png When you zoom in, click on a point and then ...

Re: Garmin Express no Longer Allows Map Downloads To Computer
Just an update, I got so fed up with Basecamp that I've now converted to My Route App, what a revelation! So much easier to use and the option to overlay Michelin or Google maps is a joy.

'Real' Speed not displaying correctly
I went out yesterday on the bike and I seem to have developed an odd problem, the Sat Nav is lagging behind the actual speed I'm travelling. As I move away the sat nav starts displaying the speed something like this: 5mph > 7mph > 12mph > 24mph > 36mph > 40mph > 42 mph My real speed has been more ...

Re: 12 days on the road with MyRoute-App and Zumo XT
Likewise I bought the lifetime offer which I think is an excellent offer (very often it's a promotion around Black Friday time or occasionally at other times if you sign up for the emails). I'd agree about using MRA and the Garmin, after I figured out how to transfer from MRA to my iPhone I then use ...

Re: how to stop rain affecting XT
I had the same issue with mine last year, Garmin also said the screen protector may have been a contributing factor, they replaced the unit under warranty. I didn't fit a protector on the new unit and the problem largely went away. Twice on a recent very wet trip to Scotland it changed screens ...

Re: Garmin Express no Longer Allows Map Downloads To Computer
OK, so having turned off and rebooted I checked Map Manager and discovered that the map does seem to have been installed on my computer.
I don't think Garmin really like Mac people!

Re: Garmin Express no Longer Allows Map Downloads To Computer
Thanks for putting this up, it's been really frustrating me not being able to do this when I always had in the past. First off installed Version 7.8.0.0 of Garmin Express HOWEVER I followed the procedure, plugged my Garmin XT in, it shows as connected, asked to download maps, it tells me it's ...
