Re: XT Does Not Pass Rain Test

About the Zumo XT screen changes while riding in the rain.
I encountered the following problem while driving in the rain. My XT is upright just behind my windscreen, during considerable rain showers in recent weeks, under certain circumstances there are still drops on the screen. I thought by checking the Restricted Mode (while driving) setting, that I would not be bothered by screen changes, but to my surprise there was regularly a full-screen window with the question whether I might want to operate the screen. This is not desirable, so my proposal is, which I have send to Garmin support, as with other choices on the XT, to show the following options in Restricted Mode: On, Always Ask, Off. Selecting the On option solves the problem of spontaneous screen changes during rain showers while riding.
