Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

Many thanks for the pictures, unfortunately all 6 cradles are the newer type and all 6 power connectors have the 2 rubber strips (either side of the power pins) so it seems I have the latest version of both the cradle and power leads.. will try removing the power lead from the cradle on each unit an...

Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

They are all wired to switched 12V supplies.. I don’t want to put them on unswitched supplies, but I can certainly try it for a short while to see if it helps..

Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

As stated, different GPS’s give issue on different cradles.I have put a multimeter on all the cradles and they all show about 5 volts on the 2 pins, all the fuses are okay. As stated if i remove the gps, then click it back on, remove it again, click it back on, eventually after a few cycles the gps ...

Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

How do I identify if my power leads are the old or new version? I have 6 leads (one on each motorcycle).

Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

is there a technique or something that I can modify? I have 2 Zumo XT's and it seems like 50% of the time, when I connect it to one of the cradles on my motorcycles, it doesn't recognize that it's connected (ie it shows that the GPS is using the internal battery rather than the 5volts supplied at th...

Re: Device Specific Settings in Basecamp

thanks for posting that, I lack the confidence to use regedit, so basecamp list 11 devices for me, but I only have 4 that are actually valid, would love to remove the 7 old units that I no longer own, but don't want to risk breaking basecamp as it has been quite reliable the last year or so!! Wish G...

Re: tracks not appearing on main screen

well that seems to have resolved the issue, I linked the GPS to Garmin explore and set everything up and now the tracks appear on the main screen!! I would never have thought explore would affect the ability of the GPS to display a track, so thank you very much for suggesting that.

Re: tracks not appearing on main screen

Many thanks, I hadn't thought about explore, but I think you are correct, my GPS is linked to explore, but my wife's is not.. I will look at the links and see if I can get the issue resolved.

Many thanks for the suggestion.

Guys & Gals, I am hoping you can help me. I have 2 Garmin XT GPS's, I have looked at all the options and they seem to be setup identically, However when I import a GPX file on 1 the track immediately appears on the screen, when I import on the other, it says the file was imported and it shows th...
