Re: Problem Installing Maps to PC

Re: XT / Basecamp mismatched map versions

Re: Prevent Zumo XT from recording speed

If the cops could be botherd and knew there way around the Zumo they would find that. But who is to say you did that on the highway, could have been on a track or private road They could also read this from your tracks stored on the Zumo. I would not worry too much.

Re: Updating maps and software

I would add that in the last 18 month I do not update before a big tour or holiday. The update has at times caused too many problems and on once killed the unit. Before this updates were no issue.

Re: Zumo XT on sale..

I think in the round from what i have tried and seen of TomTom and trying to use maps it is the "one eyed man in the land of the blind" The errors and problems can be circumvented with some work. This would be the one I would choose for multipoint fun tours and trips. Point to Point there ...

Re: Different route data etc

We used to tour with 3 Garmin's in Europe. One of the points that killed the annual event was arguments over which way to go. One point had to be introduced. The Leader ; leads, and ONLY gets suggestions if he/she asks. We tried everything with the Garmin’s but could not get two identical units to d...
