Re: Music playback shuttering/choppy?

I seem to have found a solution, but it's not very practical for most of you!! I have complained & complained over the years about the atrocious lack of support from Sena, I finally had enough with another issue and went out and replaced all 4 Sena 20S Evo units with 4 Cardo Packtalk Blacks (3 y...

Re: how to stop rain affecting XT

they do sell a sun shade for the GPS, but I have it mounted on my Dual sport bike and love that I can see the display when seated or standing, if I put a sun shade on, I won't be able to see the display when standing, so I don't want to do that.

Regards Gary

Re: how to stop rain affecting XT

Many thanks for the feedback, I mounted mine more vertically but also bought some perspex and heated it/folded it so it clips over the GPS unit, I will just clip it on when it rains and remove it when I need to use the touch screen, a little inconvenient, but the rest of the GPS works so well I won'...

Re: Music playback shuttering/choppy?

thanks for the idea, we have also noticed the same thing about the noise and like you, we enabled the advanced noise control, but the stuttering music occurs even when stationary and there is no noise to trigger the intercom. Also when the intercom kicks in, it reduces the volume of the music and we...

Re: Music playback shuttering/choppy?

I have never tried riding alone, so I don't know the answer, I always go riding with my wife (either on the back of me or on her bike) with the intercom in group mode. I can certainly try it next time in solo mode and see if it makes any difference, however I need it to work in intercom mode as I ne...

Re: Music playback shuttering/choppy?

was a solution ever found for the choppy music? I have my new Zumo XT paired to my iphoneXr and my Sena20S Evo intercom, the Evo20S has the iphone paired as phone 1 and the Zumo paired as GPS and the music works fairly well most of the time. Last night I went on a ride and forgot my iphone at home, ...

Re: XT Does Not Pass Rain Test

I just purchased 2 new Zumo XT's directly from Garmin, one for me and the other for my wife. We rode our first ride with them last weekend and it rained quite heavily and both GPS's went mad, the screen was moving around, it was selecting menus and changing options!! The GPS's were unusable, 2 hours...

Re: how to stop rain affecting XT

well I spoke with a Garmin contact and they thought my screen protector might be causing this issue. I splashed water on the screen with the protector and sure enough it changed menus and settings (as it had done in the rain 2 days ago), I then removed the screen protector and splashed water on the ...

how to stop rain affecting XT

Okay peeps, I just bought 2 new Zumo XT GPS for my and my wife's dirt bikes. We drove 600 miles to Mississippi to ride the "PIGS in The Forest" and we had a lot of rain, it seems the GPS was sensing the rain drops landing on the screen as us touching the screen, both GPS's went absolutely ...

Re: Problem uploading routes

I used to have a Garmin Zumo 660 and it would often crash when using basecamp and asking it to transfer multiple routes to my GPS (via USB lead), no error message appeared, the GPS would just shut down and then restart. I found transferring one route at a time was the most reliable method (but not v...
