XT vs XT2

Post by White Tiger »

Gday all,

My first GPS was the 660 and had next no problems with it. When it can time to upgrade, I got the XT and been constantly plagued by niggling little problems. I couldn't afford to replace the thing so i've put up with it until now.

Do you think an upgrade to the XT2 is a good move or should I wait until the next generation of Zumo comes onto the market?

Cheers

The Xt2 may look very similar, and is made by Garmin, but it introduces some new way of doing things, especially with routes / tracks / waypoints that I found initially confusing, especially as the instruction manuals are anything but.

The XT2 has improvements, especially the bugs are much better ones. If I was you I'd try to use someone else's XT2 before spending your money.

There is the saying, "better the devil you know" I do wonder if that's Garmin's mission statement!
