Re: No instructions with iimported track

One final thought, have you got OSM maps (open Street Maps) on the unit & enabled?
I had them on my unit & lost the voice prompts, once I disabled them everything returned to normal.

Re: New to the XT, some daft questions

I think you can do both! If you send a route & track to the unit you can display the route over the track. If you deviate from the route you will see the track underneath. Do a search on this forum, I am sure its been discussed. The unit has a 'Track recorder' feature, it is on the main screen '...

Re: No instructions with iimported track

I am by no means an expert, but my understanding is that a 'track' is just a line / breadcrumb trail displayed on the unit, you do not get instructions, you basically just follow the line. A route however, will give you spoken instructions. Have you tried converting your track to a route on your gps...

Re: Speed Cameras

In the UK they have always been included in the price of the XT, although they show on Garmin Express as aan option that you can purchase.

Re: Zumo XT2 in few weeks?

On the Garmin web site now: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/867974 No manual available yet. (It's a Garmin, so don't expect much documentation.) Bigger than the XT or Tread (5.5" screens), smaller than the Tread XL (8"). Possibly the same mount with a different cable - six electrical conta...

Re: Zumo XT2 in few weeks?

The new unit is physically larger, so will not be compatible for those of us with the Touratech mount.

Re: Zumo XT mount & charging issues

Just for your own sanity to check it out, why not run it straight to the battery via the Garmin M/C lead.

Re: Garmin Express update error

Have you checked that you have 12 volts going to the lead & 5 volts at the pins where it connects to the XT?

Re: Garmin Express update error

Will the device charge via the motorcycle mount? As I am sure you are aware, the car mount is just a plastic suction mount with no power, power is supplied via the usb port from the cigar lighter lead. Some people are finding that from 'new' their units are requiring a good overnight charge from a >...
