Re: Wifi transfer of files

Heh. I meant for convenience, although that wasn't clear!

Re: Wifi transfer of files

Thanks, chaps. I use the Drive method when I've created a route on the tablet, so I'll see how it compares to the USB when routing in Basecamp.

Wifi transfer of files

Is it possible to transfer gpx files direct from a PC to an XT using wifi? It seems to me you have either to connect the two via a cable or manually remove the SD card, load that from your PC, then re-insert it. Is that right?

Try a female French voice. "A la prochaine sortie, tournez à gauche". Oh yes!

Re: Racking up the numbers in the UK!

Hi @Neilsson. I live in Washington (the original one) and have owned several Zumos, currently an XT. I use Basecamp a lot, and find it unbeatable once you've learnt to avoid its quirks!

You may have to update your Zumo first, then update the computer.
Do you mean Garmin Express? Moderator: Yes I do. Thank you. Corrected.

Re: Zumo XT power cable

I've used the normal Posi Locks a few times - they work really well. I've not come across the Posi Tite in the UK. I'd track them down if I needed a waterproof connection.
