Re: 2025.10 Maps on Zumo 550

City Navigator North America has grown to over 5 GB.

I suspect the "clone" USB has more storage capacity than a 550.

I think you are selecting too much.
As @rbentnail said, Bottom left, select only the individual item(s) you want to include.

Re: Other satnavs

Basecamp works just fine with free Open Street Maps (.gmap format), and TomTom does contribute to OSM. I'm uncertain about the practicality and limitations of using a .GPX file in a TomTom, or converting a .GPX to an .ITN file. ITNConverter used to work but it has been decades since I played with it.

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

I've verified that this method using VLC and the card reader to create a playlist for the folder on the card does work when the card is replaced in my XT: Create M3U Playlist in VLC Media Player I've also verified that MediaMonkey (MM) can also create the playlist, though the method to to create the...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

(continuing, hit Submit instead of Preview...) I created the playlists one folder at a time, entering a title for each manually. It might be possible to automate the process in MediaMonkey with a script but after fifteen years with MM, it is beyond my ability. (I can crop a picture in Photoshop, bu...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

Unlike the 660 and 59x Garmins, the XT and XT2 cannot act as "mappable" drives. Windows file managers see them as a media device, but they are never assigned a drive letter (C:\, D:\, etc.). That is a problem for most programs. I think you will have many more options if you remove the micr...

It has never bothered me so I have not looked f...

Re: No Album Art via Bluetooth

I think the problem with the controls is more important than the lack of album art. You might want to look at the permissions settings for the apps on your phone(s). I've had issues when "Remove permissions if app is unused" is activated. Turning that feature off and then granting permissi...

Re: Dots Vs Flags

Drag and drop to a location along a road and you create a via point (with alert). Drag and drop to an intersection and you create a shaping point (no alerting). Don't drop at an intersection where you might actually want to turn. Open (right click or double click on route name) a route to see and ch...

Re: Need Italy on a USA Zumo XT2 ?

Garmin City Navigator Europe NTU maps will cost about $100. They are available for download or on microSD card. The download is locked to work only with your particular XT2, the card version is copy protected. Using either in Basecamp requires that you connect the XT2 via USB. Neither can be update...
