Re: Help Please - XT Archive Folder Contents.

@jfheath In looking at my XT I see a total of 11 unsaved tracks listed.
First track is dated September 16, 2022.
Last track is dated December 30, 2022.

When looking at the file structure using Android File Transfer, in the GPX>Archive folder I only see:
16.GPX
17.GPX
18.GPX

Re: Garmin Explore - creating Routes for Zumo XT

I won't be much help here, but here is my experience... Mac Studio running Ventura 13.0.1 Basecamp for Mac v. 4.8.11 iPhone 12 iOS 16.1.2 I'm a long-time basecamp user, so that is my preferred method of creating GPX files that I upload to my XT. I always create tracks in basecamp using the XT, not r...

Re: New to Zumo XT and soooo many questions

Transferring tracks via a cable led to a great deal of frustration for me because of the differences in the way in which the XT works over previous Garmin devices. While the physical act of transferring a gpx file via a cable it is the same as other devices, the results are far different. My greates...

Re: My 1st experience with XT in car

I have used the XT with the provided charging cable with the car mount, and it worked fine. Stayed on for the entire trip and never dimmed. However, I am not a fan of folding the little rubber flap back to gain access to the Mini USB Port, as I don't want to stress that over time and have it rip off...

Re: Reverse a routes- ZUMO XT

It is possible, but not as easy as past models... If you export a gpx file of a track to Explore, you can open the track using the Explore icon on the Zumo and then convert the track to a trip. When choosing to convert a track to a trip, the XT will ask you if you want it start to finish, or finish ...

Re: Questions about waypoints with multiple categories

This is part of the reason why I like the Explore Website and app. Waypoints and tracks can be saved in collections. You can choose to display collections on the map, or not. Thus eliminating the cluttering of the screen when you are not engaged in things that relate to that collection.

Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

Connect the power lead of the cradle direct to the battery. Ride the bike as normal See if the problem persists (I doubt that it does) This will eliminate the Zumo and the Power connection as the possible source of the problem. My guess is that it is a Triumph issue in the Switched Power supply line...

Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

First thing to check is polarity of the wiring from the cradle to the battery. If it is reversed, you won't get power to the cradle. It must be connected correctly to the battery.

Re: New Firmware for Zumo XT

I initially updated to 6.40 using Garmin Drive and got the 3 dot lock-up as described. Did a master reset and then hooked up to Garmin Express. Express found a couple of other minor updates that I am guessing could have been eliminated from the master reset (but not sure). Once those items were upda...

Re: Explore and Mapshare questions

So are you saying that if I buy an XT, I have to install and learn a website (explore.garmin.com), an app to access it and another app (drive) just to use the XT? I agree with jfheath . You do not have to use the Explore or Drive App on your phone, nor do you have to utilize the Explore website. Un...
