What I've noticed on my recent trip to Spain where the XT and it's version of fastest was seen to be anything but ie over 10 minutes longer over 30 minutes of travel was that the XT very quickly worked out the actual fastest route in only a few hundred yards of going off it's route attempt at the ...

I’ve been following this thread with interest as I’ve run into a similar issue recently with map routing on the XT. I’m planning a Rome road trip soon through https://gowithguide.com/Italy/rome/guides so I’m keen to get my XT working properly.

Quick tip: make sure your activity profile (like ...

I’ve seen this issue before; if the Explore Library isn’t showing in the Tread app, it’s often due to a missing link with your Garmin Explore account. Make sure you're signed into the same Garmin account on both apps. Also, check that Bluetooth and location permissions are enabled on your Galaxy ...

That’s likely because the Zumo XT2 uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which macOS Finder doesn’t support natively. That’s why Garmin Express and BaseCamp can see it, but Finder doesn’t.

To access files manually, try using the Android File Transfer app on your Mac; it supports MTP and should let ...

I’ve looked into this too, it doesn’t seem like there are many third-party motorcycle icons for the XT2 yet, especially for specific models like the Goldwing. Some users have made custom icons by converting images into .srf or .gpi files, but it's a bit technical.

I've seen similar behavior with recalc hanging around that 70–80% mark, especially when using tread or XT2. It seems like a loop that doesn’t resolve unless you force a reboot. Rebooting usually clears it temporarily, like you said, but it might point to a bug in the latest software version. It ...

I’ve come across the same issue before, those Zumo 550 mounts can be tricky to find now since Garmin doesn’t make them anymore. You might want to check eBay or some motorcycle forums’ classifieds section. Sometimes people part out their gear and still have the original cradle or mount. Also worth ...

I use Google maps on my phone when I drive my car. They show which intersection has traffic lights. I just count how many lights till I have to turn. Makes life so much easier. I'm very surprised garmin doesn't support such a fundamental feature

Surprisingly, Garmin hasn’t included something as ...

It's interesting how a simple mechanical adjustment can fix what seemed like an electrical issue. Garmin should probably take note of this common problem with their mounting system. Cheers for sharing the fix - might help others with the same Zumo XT charging headache.

Thank you, that was very helpful.
