Re: XT2 sometimes not drawing the map around the route whilst riding

Thanks - I shall consider a way forward - the problem is always going to be repeating the behaviour. And doing trial-and-error things.

And I don't plan on another similar trip again now this year!

But from replies here, it does seem like I probably ought to be trying to contact Garmin and see ...

Re: XT2 sometimes not drawing the map around the route whilst riding

I do rather wonder if this is basically to do with local 4G network.

I had always assumed that the entire map is downloaded to the device but perhaps not..?

When I try all these things at home on the solid wifi it's pretty good at drawing quickly - even when I look at out of the way locations in ...

XT2 sometimes not drawing the map around the route whilst riding

Just did NC500 and had various routes set up. I don't mean in advance - I just used it like a car sat nav - put in a postcode or town each day and let it go.

Firstly I can't zoom out to see an overview of the route - it just doesn't draw the map properly around the route, so what happens is my map ...

Battery for Zumo XT2

Does anyone know what the correct battery is for the XT2?

I have sen lots of references to earlier models - but not this one.

The battery on mine has never really been much good, even from new - so I don't know if I got one from a dodgy batch, but it doesn't hold a charge at all now.
Thanks

Customising Home screen?

Does anyone know if it's possible to customise the home screen?

I'm not going to be using "Group ride" anytime soon and unlikely to be using "Track recorder"

But what would really be handy is having a shortcut to the brightness settings..

I can't see anything in the manual. Has anyone got any ...

Re: Temperature settings on XT2 (Cel / fahrenheit)

Well yes, I'm in London and the UK uses always miles for distance (phew!)

Lots of people here do use Celsius, but I'm still used to using Fahrenheit, which I realise might be a bit old fogey of me but that's what we were taught at school. It's obviously changed since.
If someone says "it's in the ...

Temperature settings on XT2 (Cel / fahrenheit)

There is a post about this for XT but I can't find one for XT2.

I want to change the temp from Celsius to fahrenheit but I can't seem to work out how to do it.
I made the assumption that there may be a setting in the Tread app - but there isn't much there really.

Any ideas?

Live Traffic info, subscriptions etc...

I've been trying to get my head around the "no subscription required" for updates and live information. Presumably there is no SIM card in a Zumo XT2..?

In order to get live traffic info do you have to have an iphone bluetoothed up to the device and running the Tread app?

And if so, does the ...

Just about to invest in a Zumo XT2.. probably!

Hi all,
Just introducing myself.
I'm looking at a Zumo XT2 and have a couple of questions I'll post as I've not had any 'proper' luck searching the web..
