I bring 2 Zumo XT (1) on any long trip, and for good reason. Last week we left Bangor Maine with the XT running - after about 6 hours on the interstate highways I keyed in a new destination further along on our trip which should have taken 2 hours but the arrival time was 6+ hours. Here and there ...

On earlier Garmin devices powered by the USB-C (stepped down to 5 volts) the connection was a weak spot. Vibrations and the small contact area of the USB-C (both male and socket) would lose connection frequently. I ended up with a USB-C 90 degree male plug that could have pressure applied to hold ...

Every Garmin I've ever owned had mini-usb issues when used on a motorcycle. A solution that worked for me was a 90 degree male mini-usb and a springy steel strap rigged up to apply pressure against the flat side of the mini-usb plug. Depending on the mount you use this might be a solution.

Please... no apology needed. I didn't think a thing of the file name and my screen name being interchanged. do greatly appreciate the time you spent reviewing my route and your suggestions for better results in the future.

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation!

This is in Mexico, a route I planned late last year on MRA. Wheels on the ground it took me about 75% of the way to the #3 way point and then went screwy - sending me into little towns and corkscrewing around them, left, right, into dead ends, gravel pits, and passages that clearly were more for ...

Thanks, I'll try that with starting points a little up the road from where I am. Avoidances are all off, and fastest time (learned that the hard way last year)... I've had Garmin GPS units for a dozen years - always car units I used on a motorcycle, Those performed very well although the data base ...

More problems. In Mexico using the 2nd Zumo XT . From the hotel a destination was 13 miles away. I used the Zumo XT screen to find a route. It claimed 11 miles. Following the prompts on the screen it took 90 minutes via a circuitous route which made no sense. We finally arrived at the destination ...

I haven't got a clue why this might have happened in your case. I would need a lot more information.

How did you plan your route ? What software ? Did you plan it on the XT screen, or did you use the Explore App or Website?
Is this a route that you were following - with start, end and some route ...
