How to hardwire a XT2 to Honda CB500X so it auto powers on and off.

This will hopefully be of benefit to those who own a Honda CB500X, (mine is a 2020 model) and want to know how to connect the Zumo XT2 to the Honda and have it auto power on, and auto power off, the same as the headlights. Wasn't too hard, just fiddley. I had to remove both of the left-hand panels, ...

Save created "Round Trip".

Tried out the create round trip function on the XT2 today. It did a good job! (2 hour round trip). Only thing that was annoying using this function, was that if the XT2 was tuned off for any reason, the calculated round trip will then not show again when the unit was turned back on. Is it normal for...

Re: Garmin support for Zumo XT2

I use GAIA GPX website to first create the route. I find it a lot more intuitive to use than Base Camp. I then export the route from GAIA GPX into BASECAMP and finally send from Basecamp to the Zumo XT2. Haven't had the opportunity to test it out on a long ride but I have tested it making complex ro...

Re: Garmin support for Zumo XT2

The Garmin Australian support website is still providing a dropdown list, which shows the XT2 model and is providing support. No need to enter in any serial number.

Re: Garmin support for Zumo XT2

The TREAD app is dead in the water for me! I've completely deleted it from my iPhone. As others have said, the only reliable way to import routes is directly from base camp. I'm very disappointed that Garmin, after making such a big announcement telling all of us XT2 owners how wonderful the tread a...

Re: Garmin Listened!!!!

I think that a better name for the Tread App would be the Terd App!

Re: Garmin Listened!!!!

Yes, I'd also be interested to also hear if the Tread App finally works as it should, when meshed with the XT2.

Re: How to display custom POIs on the map

@jfheath Yes without @GerIRL explaining if they are talking about Waypoints or POIs it's hard to give the correct response. Mind you, the new XT2 unit has no POI category/folder. (as far as I can see) It only has a Waypoint category/folder. So hopefully it will help :D

Re: How to display custom POIs on the map

Hi there. A Long shot here - anyone know how to DISPLAY custom POIs on a Zumo XT2? As you haven't said how you are creating your POIs, I'm not sure if this will help you, but anyway this is to how I do it, when creating POIs in BaseCamp. I don't use the "Tread App" at all with my XT2 and ...
