Re: ZUMO XT / XT2 phone calls not working

Interesting. I am using an XT, Packtalk Bold and an iPhone 12. I have mine connected exactly as a previous poster says doesn't work. I have my iPhone paired to the XT and my Packtalk. Reasons being, I ride different bikes other than the one fitted with the XT, so have the phone able to take calls ...

Re: Bluetooth Quality

I have my phone (iPhone) paired to my packtalk and the XT. I have the XT also paired to my Packtalk. I have no sound issues, nav instructions are fine and calls when they come in are clear. The reason I have my phone paired to both is, I ride bikes that do not have a XT mount, I also need to take ...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

the thing is, if you have transferred your routes by wireless to the internal memory on the XT, deleting the routes on the device after your trip, doesn't actually delete the route from the device internal memory. They stay there. Now there is a lot of internal memory so probably not an issue and ...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

Ok, to explain. When I talk about volume, I am simply talking about being able to see the physical drive of the XT. If you go into file explorer or on a Mac File Finder, you can browse other external drives. If on a Mac you plug in say a Nav VI you can see the device as an external drive, so it will ...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

If you want to transfer a gpx file into the gpx directory on the device or if you have an issue such as I had, where the device wouldn't recalculate, the fix from Garmin was to go into the device via the file finder and delete all the files from the archive folder. This was achieved via a laptop as ...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

Guess it depends on what you are trying to do. My Mac will not see the XT as a volume because Mac doesn't recognise the Android XT software. Now whether it will allow Basecamp to interact with it, I don't know as I don't use Basecamp.

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

The maps are updated wirelessly, you don't need to connect to your mac. You can also transfer routes wirelessly via the Garmin Drive app directly to the XT. I borrowed my wifes laptop when I needed to access the XT drive to delete some files. I use my iPhone to transfer routes that I have done on My ...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

The XT uses Android software, so a Mac will not recognise it as a drive. Here is an explanation from another forum, so not my words :) The XT uses an MTP data transfer protocol. In english: it is not designed to be mounted as a volume. The new GoPros have a similar behaviour. You are essentially ...
