Zumo User Forums

You might need more than "a couple" days. Some of the XT behaviors are not what you might expect. You will definitely want to read all twelve sections of this post in order to understand how the XT works. I assure you that the links will not have been wasted on me. I am delving into them.

Thanks for the heads-up.

This information that you fellows provide is not being wasted. I have so much more of an understanding of the Zumo XT that I feel confident that this device will be extremely useful to me and just what I need. I have seen the Garmin GPS mentioned many times on the Harley Davidson Forums. This piqued ...

Thanks. That manual is most helpful for understanding the Zumo XT.
It looks to be a plug and play type of device. Connecting to my network will be easy for the updates and such.
I'll spend some time this morning reading through the manual.

Thanks, that is good to know. I will probably wire it to an accessory, if I can figure that out. I believe my bike has a couple of open accessory locations.

Thanks for the reply.
Do instructions come with the Zumo XT that illustrate how to hardwire?

I would like to purchase a Garmin zumo XT but I need to know quite a bit about it beforehand.
Does a Garmin Zumo XT require an internet service account or other type of monthly fee account for the GPS to work while on the road?

I am new to GPS for motorcycles. I will ask a lot of very stupid questions. Have patience with me.
