Re: Complex Riding Routes Doubling back

You can check your routes before you go by sending them to the device then choosing Settings --> Navigation --> GPS Simulator. Then execute the route and leave it running while you watch something on TV. If the simulation makes it right round the route it should work fine in the real world. I've not...

Re: Zumo 590/595 Vs Zumo XT

I'll be posting a video comparison when I get through a few more miles with the Zumo XT but the short answer is it absolutely worth upgrading for the screen alone. The display is so sharp you can glean loads of information from just a tiny glance. For example if you get a safety camera alert you can...

Re: Cheap case for your XT

The official case is just like the 590 / 595 case except it fits the XT. I did try fitting it into my old 590 case and it didn't fit. The official case is really nice and good quality. Just a shame it wasn't included with the unit.

Re: Old bike new Zumo xt

Yes that will work perfectly. I'd recommend a Fiio uBTR Bluetooth receiver because it is good value and it can be used while charging. So if you connect it to the switched power from the bike you can leave it there permanently and not worry about charging it. The sound quality is really good. Much b...

Re: New Garmin Zumo XT

Has anyone from the UK managed to order one. I clicked through as soon as I got the notification email but all I have is an unclickable "New" button. I don't have "add to cart." I was hoping to get ahead so I can make some videos for my YouTube channel but looks like I've got to ...
