Re: More pre-purchase questions please

Honestly, I’d hold onto your 665. I moved from a 590 to an XT and the Bluetooth has +’s and -‘s. You can get a little Bluetooth receiver and connect that gizmo to your bikes AUX in. I ordered a bunch of them from Amazon to try out but the XT was just seeing all of them as a music device and not a hea ...

Is Garmin throttling bandwidth?

I have 1.2Gb/s fiber-to-the-home so download speeds for pretty much anything are lighting quick .... but Garmin updates are driving me a little nuts. I'm finding that the initial speed is pretty quick, around 65MB/s but after a few seconds it starts to throttle down, then down some more, then some ...

Re: Nav commands not going thought Bluetooth

SUCCESS! I ordered Sony WI-XB400 and an Audio Technica ATH-ANC100BT bluetooth headphones. Both are the type connected by a cable so the bulky part of the bluetooth receiver hangs around your neck leaving only small, wired earbuds to go under your helmet. The Sony's arrived today and Instant success ...

Re: Nav commands not going thought Bluetooth

I'm not near my GPS now but it is in motorcycle mode (the little motorcycle icon at the top/center). I've ordered a couple bluetooth earbuds from Amazon that would have a neck wrap (the bluetooth receiver and battery in a separate module that rests on your neck so only small wired earbuds go in your ...

Re: Nav commands not going thought Bluetooth

Oh ok. I wasn’t sure if there was a procedure to pair headset differently than any other Bluetooth device. I’ve tried reconnecting the TT-BA07 twice now. Once by deleting it then reconnecting via the WIRELESS NETWORKS page and the second time I did a full reset of the XT and reconnected the TT-BA07 t ...

Nav commands not going thought Bluetooth

Hey folks, I just installed my shiny new ZumoXT and am having a little Bluetooth trouble. I'm using a TaoTronics TT-BA07 bluetooth receiver (https://www.taotronics.com/products/tt-ba07-bluetooth-transmitter-receiver) so I can use my small, wired earbuds under my helmet. I have my Android phone ...

Any idea why the XT supply shortage?

I’m keen to upgrade to the XT but here in |+|Canada there is no available stock on these units. I’m sure COVID is playing a part but any idea what is behind the great Zumo XT drought of 2020?

Re: Waypoints, or Shaping points?

Sorry to hijack this thread but "shaping points"? Where are they found?

I have a 595 with Basecamp v4.7.0. When I'm mapping a route I only see waypoints as an option.

Thanks in advance,
