Re: Sending routes to XT2

Does the XT2 have icons like phone and music that show on the map when your following a route like my Nav6? The XT2 allows you to customise the right-hand quarter of the screen with various options, I use trip data, but there are the options for phone or music For the XT: https://support.garmin.com...

Re: Sending routes to XT2

I saw this on a Facebook group, hopefully you can read the post and see the link below goes to it. For the XT2 I use a "normal" track width: https://www.facebook.com/groups/589819221701740/search/?q=track https://www.wiltshire.net/2021/12/21/garmin-zumo-xt-theme-file-showing-route-and-trac...

Re: Explore on the GPS - XT2

And the next question, if I may, what's the best way of deleting the files that have been sent to the XT2 internal storage, which I've imported into a collection, and then no longer need? I see lots of routes and tracks that I have used, and no longer want them in the XT2 after deleting them for the...

Re: Zumo XT power cable

I looked quickly but couldn't find a power (watts) or current (amps) requirement for the XT. Bottom line: I'd stick with the supplied power harness designed specifically for the XT. It takes 12v from the motorcycle, delivers ~5v to the device and can provide at least whatever amperage the XT requir...

Re: Upgrade from 595 to XT2?

I stopped using my XT for a 595 as the problems in routing were impacting on my enjoyment of being on my bike. The map "themes" can help, but the XT and XT2's level of detail is way better than the 595's on a good day. The biggest problem I think is that in particular, the XT2 is almost a ...

Re: Zumo 396 - What am I doing wrong?

The 396 has in my opinion the same problem that the XT has in that it chooses faster roads over a route that is the fastest. This gives some "interesting" routes which might be giving your problem. I've seen it where the sensible option would be to go between the open ends of this > but th...

Re: Explore on the GPS - XT2

Just to clarify its the XT2. Tried to cross the eye on collection #1 and still the waypoints won't load into #2, with no warning. The waypoints and also routes can be seen in the "Where to?" with the collection with them having the eye crossed out, so maybe I'm looking at a feature rather ...

Explore on the GPS - XT2

I know realise that having an "unorganised" folder is bad news, you need to put everything into a collection otherwise you see multiple waypoints if they used in more than one route (I guess). So now I have two collections, and I'd like them both to have the same waypoints in them. Collect...

Re: Is this RUT?

@jfheath

When you imported the routes into the XT2, was it to a SD card, or direct into the XT2?

If it was into the XT2 directly, I was wondering if the importing from the SD card "converts" it into a RUT free route?

Re: Is this RUT?

But the Zumo will calculate its own route based on the routing preferences set in the Zumo - not the routing preferences set for the route. (My table indicated this to be the case) and we know that the XT would head for faster roads - and go out of its way to reach one. The XT2 - I've yet to form a...
