Simply put, and these are my experiences, yours may be different, the ZUMO XT2 is a fine unit. I thoroughly believe the issue is the Tread App. When I use BaseCamp and import to my XT2 via USB, load the maps, and go, all seems to work. Shaping points are shaping points, waypoints are waypoints, no m...

Wow! You have hit on many of the frustrations of Zumo XT owners. The Tread app adds a level of complexity that seems absurd. Some tips when using preplanned routes: 1. In a route, never have the start and end points the same. You saw why. Make the start point some distance away from your physical s...

Some further experiments, because I (the user) should try to figure out the workarounds to use this $1000 CAD unit. Went back into BaseCamp, set the route profile to NONE . This takes the route and assigns CUSTOM ROUTE OPTIONS Screenshot 2023-07-18 102502.png Scenario 1 - BaseCamp EXPORT .GPX to Tre...

It's like they don't even try.

Maybe the 'B' Team is stuck working on ZUMOs while all the COOL engineers get to work on Golf Watches and Activity Trackers!

Firstly, allow me to say that my unit is up to date, loaded with latest maps and software, as is my Tread app and BaseCamp. Next, let my theorize that the Garmin Software Engineers, all either walk to work or take the bus because NONE of them seem to ride more than 10km to anywhere other than a one-...

I'll be posting on this same subject later but Garmin does some screwy things between the unit itself and the Tread app. At this point, I don't know who the "master" is... That is to say, if I create a map in BaseCamp will it align to the unit directly? If I export the BaseCamp .GPX file t...

So I've been using the ZUMO XT2 for past 3 months. We've (my wife and I) been using the units on our short and long runs so far. Here is what we know and have learned thus far. My setup - ZUMO XT2 + Samsung S21 Ultra + SENA SRL-EXT (NOTE: I don't play music from either phone or XT2) Wife's setup - Z...

As best I can tell so far, not that many miles on it yet but enough to be quasi informed. 1. Typical Garmin recalculate modes. OFF, PROMPTED, AUTOMATIC. I run with PROMPTED. If you say YES when it asks you, it assumes you want to get to the Waypoint you missed (and doesn't let go); it does NOT ask y...

Hey all. I'm here sharing my relevant experiences of the ZUMO XT2. Started with the 660, then the 595, now the XT2. Like to do long, 3 week trips around North America over the summer months. Been using BaseCamp for umpteen years. Always used Garmin units. Here to share, learn, and relay any info I h...
