Hello Hi from Quebec - XT2 Comment

Post by Teabee »

Hi guys,
I am presently configuring my brand new Zumo XT2.
I upgraded from a Montana 610 that is still installed on my Norden 901.
Tomorrow's gonna be rainy with thunderstorms so I will mount the XT2 on the Norden tomorrow.
I loaded a "local" topographic map, via micro sd, from Trakmaps and it seems to be working well.
I didn't "install" the XT2 with Garmin Express, because I use a Macintosh and there seems to be problems with transfers between Basecamp and the XT2 when Garmin Express is involved.
So far, I transferred 2 folders worth of waypoints and tracks from Basecamp to the XT2 and everything seems to be fine.
I hope you have as much fun as myself when riding your bike.
I graduated from ZX50 in the early 80's and went all the way to 1190's.
I then chose the 701 to have a lighter bike but the Norden stole my heart last year.
So here I am ...
Cheers !

Hi and Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for your contribution. A nice, informative first post.

I've placed it in the XT2 forum. Its Ok, you haven't done anything wrong ! Your post contained useful information and it will get seen by other members who keep an eye on XT2 activity. Your original entry remains in Newbies - but it brings people straight to the XT2 section when they reply to it.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
