Re: No verbal directions when listing to MP3 over Bluetooth

Have you by any chance got OSM maps, Open Street Maps enabled? If so this will cut out spoken navigation directions. If you disable them you should return to normal.

Re: what3words & Garmin Drive App

Thanks for your observation, It looks like Garmin Drive was updated on 15/11/23, maybe the functionality changed the. I find what3words very useful here in the UK, as post codes tend to cover very large areas & are not that precise. I seem to remember Garmin did a similar thing a few years ago, ...

Many thanks Stu, I assume when Garmin updated the Drive App recently they changed something, intentionally or by accident!

Until recently I have been successfully using 'what3words' to find locations & send them to my XT via the Garmin Drive App. Over the past few days, when I try to do this, I get an error message in the Drive App : 'location information not present in the link provided'. Has anyone else come acros...

It might just be a typo in your original message, but I think you find that the XT uses 'NTU' maps.

I have 2 Garmin gps units & the old Montana uses 'NT' maps.

Are you sure you are using the correct map on Basecamp prior to transferring the route?

Re: South Dakota ATV GPS Maps

Have you tried downloading the ATV map onto the XT's sd card? I am aware that the XT will not run all map types, here in the UK , for off road riding the best maps are Ordnance Survey, but sadly they will not run on the XT.

Re: No instructions with iimported track

One final thought, have you got OSM maps (open Street Maps) on the unit & enabled?
I had them on my unit & lost the voice prompts, once I disabled them everything returned to normal.
