Re: Hide track from map
I wish they would enable the ability, within a collection, to display a track, or not, They do. Read my option 2. Where to -> explore -> collections -> spanner -> collections on map. You have to set up your collections on the explore site first though. And add tracks etc to your collections either ...

Re: Hide track from map
I have my XT set up to link with Explore and love the convenience of wireless transfer of routes, and the grouping of tracks and waypoints for a weekend motorcycle event, and it was the only way I found that I could have custom icons for waypoints for tracks, and to get it so those icons displayed w...

Re: Avoiding buying sat nav and charging the zumo xt
Yes... The Zumo XT will provide you with greater coverage than cellular service because it is receiving its signal via satellite, rather than cell phone towers. It even does a remarkable job in fairly dense tree coverage. Your cell phone also uses satellite networks for it's GPS rather than cell co...

Re: Avoiding buying sat nav and charging the zumo xt
It is not advisable to charge the unit via the USB port for a couple of reasons. 1. You have to have a rubber protective door open to access the USB port, which opens up a spot for water to enter the unit. 2. The USB port is not designed to handle the constant vibrations created by the motorcycle wh...

Re: Issues with Garmin Drive app and Spotify
There is not a Spotify app on the XT. You can still stream music from your cell phone via Spotify, or any other music app, such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc. (loaded on your phone) to the Zumo XT. When the music player is open, you can change the source from MP3s housed on the device or a Micro...

Re: XT not following planned route
If you import the GPX file into a collection, you can choose to have the collection displayed on the screen, or not. Again, every track in the collection, and all of the waypoints of that collection, will display on the screen if you have the collection visible. Within a collection with multiple tra...

Re: XT not following planned route
Turn auto-recalculate off on the XT. Create the planned path in Basecamp. Export the GPX file. Send the GPX file to the XT (I text the GPX file to myself, open it, and then send it to the Explore app on my phone. When the XT and my phone are near each other and paired, the file will then appear on t...

Re: new user questions
The settings are either metric or not. MPH/Fahrenheit or KPH/Celsius - I don't think you can combine the two... Current Speed Indicator is letting you know how far off your vehicle speedometer is off... GPS indicated speed will be the accurate measurement. I haven't found a way to change that data f...

Re: WARNING - Garmin Zumo XT hot-shoe connector weakness
For what it is worth, I had the original design mount and cable when I first set up my XT. I installed the "improved" replacement mount and cable and began having problems with the XT losing power while riding. I never had that issue with the original design. It seems as though some combin...

Re: How to see Waypoints
The XT is very frustrating with Waypoints or Points of Interest that are built into a GPX file. On every other Garmin Device I have owned, when you import a gpx file of a track that contains waypoints, when you make the track visible on the screen, the waypoints just show up. The XT treats them diff...
