hi owl* I do agree that Garmin products, do not play well with MAC OS,I have in the past had all the problems you have written about, but fingers crossed, at the moment mine are playing well together. every now and again I still have to close the app a couple of times in order for the XT to be recog...

hi FBF this forum is an excellent place to find information jfheath has written a book so to speak on all things XT. I had a nightmare when I first bought an XT and thought the same as you, but stick with it and you can make it work. the first thing to do is delete the drive app from your phone/tabl...

Even so far as to disable GE from running in the background.

I do agree, on Mac there is a small black triangle in the top menu bar, if you close GE this will still be present, it has to be clicked and disabled from there, but I am Sure you are aware of this, however others may not be.

hi I am also the same as jfheath and never use wifi for a number of reasons. personally I always use a cable and Garmin express, and just in case if you use a Mac, make sure that basecamp is completely closed down other wise express will not load, same the other way round. Not sure if it's same for ...

hi jfheath I wonder if once Drive has been asked to set up Explore, every time you disable it on the XT, Drive immediately re-enables it. the screen changes and a visible 'Maybe Later' button becomes available. I do think this is the indeed the case, since I reinstalled drive (on iPad) and clicked t...

just another quick update, I have now sent numerous route/trips/tracks to my XT using my iPad connected via bluetooth and the drive app, iPad is connected to wifi but the XT is not. thankfully explore has not activated. so obviously it's not a fluke, the actions I took have clearly resolved the issue.

Thanks for posting the result. What is exactly the English translation for 'Misschien later'? Is it really: 'Maybe later' or 'Not now' ? I think you need to do both, reset the XT, and reinstall the Garmin Drive App. Come to think of it, if you happen to have more devices where the Garmin Drive App ...

sorry this should have been in the quote from @FrankB

here is an update, in this original thread I asked how to do a full factory reset, and that question was answered, so thanks to all for the input,. this thread also brought up the issues I was having with explore automatically connecting to my XT. there was lots of advice and ideas, I followed the i...

I think wifi is only used for map and firmware updates. Everything else seems to rely on the Bluetooth connection, transferring data through the phone. So temporarily turning off Bluetooth on the XT or your phone will prevent any possibility of Explore re-establishing itself before you finish disab...
