Re: Can I Use Basecamp To Install OSM Maps On XT

Just a follow up on this. BBBike is a route planner for cyclists in Berlin. It is now ported to other cities around the world thanks to the OpenStreetMap project! I have downloaded maps from there several times. I make the request on the website linked below. In just a few minutes they are emailed ...

Re: BBBike.org map extracts

As is often the case, when I am looking for other things online, I run across something that I was looking for in the past. I think the reason you were getting the message: Maps Are Corrupt And Cannot Be Used is because you added a map in UTF-8. In retrospect, perhaps you should have used maps in ...

Maps Are Corrupt And Cannot Be Used

As is often the case, when I am looking for other things online, I run across something that I was looking for in the past. I think the reason I was getting the message: Maps Are Corrupt And Cannot Be Used is because I added a map in UTF-8. In retrospect, I should have used maps in Latin-1 format.

How Do I Determine When My Garmin Zumo Battery Needs To Be Replaced?

I bought my Garmin Zumo XT in June of 2021. Lately I have been using it on bike rides on the internal battery. In warmer weather the battery lasts the entire ride. Lately, the temperatures have been about 18 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the battery doesn't last as long. I know that the colder ...

I have a Garmin Zumo XT. I want to use the Vehicle Power Cable with Extra USB Charging Port PART # 010-12840-00 with the Garmin Zumo. On the website that comes up with the link below, I see the disclaimer "NOTE: This accessory only works with Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa." Why can't that ...

Re: Garmin Zumo XT Went Dead Again

6 amp charger? you said 6amp at 12 voits. isn't that too high an amps? I would feel better using 1.5amps or no higher than 2.1 No, that is not a concern. My vehicle has a 10 amp 12 volt power outlet and I have plugged in devices, like my Garmin, that don't need that much. Now, if you have a device ...

Garmin Zumo XT Went Dead Again

My Garmin Zumo XT went dead again. It had been on a 6 amp 12 volt power supply for a few hours. I turned it off and it would not power up, again. The last time that happened, I left it on the power supply over night and in the morning it did power up again. I am trying that again and hope it comes ...

Re: I am venting about a dead XT, again.

...It seems that the computer was putting out almost about enough power the XT and keep the screen 100% bright, but in fact the XT was taking slightly more power than the computer was providing. So very very slowly, the XT was using small amounts of power from the battery - and not charging it. As ...

I Am Venting About A Dead XT

...The XT was plugged into an AC wall charger overnite (about 10 hours). In the morning it required a longer then normal press for it to start up but it started like a wake-up, not a cold boot... I just wanted to say thank you for posting that. This afternoon I took my Garmin Zumo XT off the ...
