Re: XT Wishlist

They are certainly changing the models from how they used to be. Time of day and 8 point compass direction are both available as configurable buttons down the right hand side of the screen. The button at the bottom right is always there, and that too can be configured for different vehicles and for ...

Re: Traffic providers?

Yes, it's extremely vague and I can't make head nor tail of it.
Anyway, I'll just keep an eye on any updates that might be forthcoming, which I doubt.
Thanks for your replies!

Traffic providers?

I think I know the answer to this already, since I live in Argentina. Is there any way to get live traffic on my Zumo XT. Garmin says it should come through the Drive app which I have setup correctly, but the Zumo tells me that I need a compatible accessory and that no traffic providers are ...

Re: Hello from Argentina

Connected to the aux circuit, not direct to the battery and the unit does seem very secure.

Re: Garmin Drive app is not what I expected

Sorry fellas, I probably misunderstood the usage of the Drive App and in fact I don't use it to plan a full route, but use the XT instead when riding around the city for my messenger/courier work, especially when the day involves numerous waypoints. If it's a case of A to B, then I may input an ...

Re: Garmin Drive app is not what I expected

Perhaps I didn't explain it very well. You can plan a route with Garmin Drive and then send it to your phone and it works very well. Perhaps I am confused. AFAIK, you can not plan a route on the Garmin Drive app. You can plan a route on another app and than share it or send it to the Drive app ...

Re: Garmin Drive app is not what I expected

Prior to buying the XT I was pleased to see that you could plan a route using the Drive app and then send it to the unit from the phone, Where you found that information? It so wrong that I’m surprised that someone could think about that app in such way… Garmin Drive is simple bridge between Garmin ...

Garmin Drive app is not what I expected

Prior to buying the XT I was pleased to see that you could plan a route using the Drive app and then send it to the unit from the phone, but in practice it's not quite as simple that because the app isn't as feature rich as the route planner on the unit itself. It seems to be based on Google Maps ...

Re: Hello from Argentina

Welcome! Worry not about the mounting. I use my XT on bouncy dirt roads and it holds on fine. Take a look at this thread -> https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=18178&hilit=motopump#p18178 about locking devices. I recently installed the Motopumps one and like it a lot. It's a pin that ...

Re: Hello from Argentina

Welcome to the forum! I hope you will share your knowledge and experience with us. I have heard that there are mounts where the XT actually "clicks" into place. Mine doesn't. It has been held securely for many thousands of miles but it lacks a reassuring audible or tactile "click" as it locks place ...
