Re: What Accuracy Do You See On Your Garmin Zumo XT?

I use my Zumo for on the road navigation so as long as the icon on the map on the screen aligns fairly close to the ahead that I can see that's all that worries me. If I was using it for geo caching for similar I would be concerned about accuracy.

My original post was over 6 months ago. At the time I had read that there were some issues with some KTM models. There is no way I can go back and find the original source now.

Re: Can't find a British female voice file for my Garmin Zumo XT

Serena 'Speaks Real Directions'. According to the XT screen. This means that you get a bit more useful information - Like turn left at the traffic lights; Get into the right hand lane and then turn right at the hot do salesman; Be careful of the cyclist coming past on your right, and then turn righ...

Re: Can't find a British female voice file for my Garmin Zumo XT

The voices installed by default are country specific. Here in Australia we have "Australian English" and "British English" male and female voice options. I assume it would be possible to install new voice files from Garmin files or third party sources.

Re: Can the XT search an area for POIs (restaurants)?

I treat the POIs on the XT for food places as a joke. Around here I can be riding in a rural area where the might only be half a dozen households (usually out of sight well off from road) and the XT will be showing multiple food outlets located in paddocks or forested areas beside the road. It is on...

Re: Cant Find Home Address - London

Just a tip for young players. Never put your actual home address in a GPS (or other portable device) as "home". If the device gets stolen your home address will be very useful to all sorts of people. To start with anybody who has the GPS can safely assume there is at least one motorcycle a...

Re: My xt Does not charge..;

Lithium batteries do not like to be fully discharged. The overall battery life is most likely compromised.
If I was going to the trouble of taking the Zumo apart I would have purchased a brand new battery and installed that rather than trying to resurrect the old one.

Re: Text messages to XT have ceased.

I also use a Sena 50S and iPhone XR connected to the XT (but not each other). Altho the Sena updated on the last recharge (9-23-22) everything is still working including texts. My phone is using IOS 15.6.1. Yours? The current firmware for the iPhone XR is 16.0. That is the one I was referring to as...
