Re: GPS Tracker (so the missus knows where I am)

If you have Google Maps app, couldn’t you just share your location with her? You can set it to share for specific lengths of time or till you tell it to stop.

Re: Connectivity to IPhone AND Nex headset

The best setup I came up with for my Sena headset was to pair it the the XT with a phone profile and then the XT to my iPhone, When I tried to pair my headset to the phone and to the XT (as BT device) I had several issues.

Re: Radar Weather Images while moving

To clarify, for me at least, I can open the radar app while I’m in motion, but the radar image is static. Where as if I’m stationary, the radar is animated.

Re: transfering files from internal storage to SD card

Instead of transferring files from the internal memory to an SD card, you may want to simply install the maps to the SD card. That's what I've been doing.

Re: My 1st experience with XT in car

I use mine in the truck all the time. Have had it on for several hours plugged into power outlet. No problems. I can’t say for sure, but leaving it in motorcycle mode may have caused it not to charge. When I switch mine from the motorcycle or the truck it ask me if I want to switch modes based on wh...

Re: Is it the Zumo XT or my bluetooth

I think your on the right track. As far as other notifications, yeah, make sure Smart Notifications are turned on on the XT and that drive app on your phone is connected to the XT

Re: Is it the Zumo XT or my bluetooth

I don’t know if this will help or not. I have an iPhone 11 and Sena Bluetooth headset. What I ended up doing is pairing the phone to the XT and then the XT to the Sena as a phone, not a GPS (Sena setting) with no direct pairing between the phone and the headset. Everything seems to work good with t...
