Re: Zumo XT/Garmin Tread Mounts

Since the Tread Group Ride Mount is compatible with the Zumo XT, I would assume that the XT Mount and the Tread Mount utilize the same pins for power, and the extra pins on the Tread Mount are for the extra features like the Group Ride communications. What I don't know, is whether or not the Tread l...

Re: Garmin Group Ride Radio

At $349.99 USD, that's a pretty expensive mount... Might be nice to know the location of other parties in your riding group when on a ride with a group of friends, but I really don't see a bunch of people springing for a $350 mount on top of the cost of the GPS. The guys I ride with are really good ...

Re: Checking for update

Whenever I have the XT connected to an external power source, and that power source is lost before I push the power button, the XT always checks for updates and then turns off. However, it you push the power button while under battery or external power, it will just go into sleep mode. If you push a...

Re: Bluetooth Advice Needed

Not a loss. Technology has marched on from having to be tethered via wire to get quality audio. XT pairs via Bluetooth with my iPhone and my SENA and works as intended.
