Re: Service Provider Needed?

I should add some additional bits and pieces. The unit comes with maps - for a particualar local area. So the Zumo XT LM for USA and the Zumo XT LM for the UK will be the same hardware, but will be configured differently. LM means Lifetime Maps. But only for the region in which it is sold. USA Zumos...

Re: New from Denver, USA

I am new to GPS for motorcycles. I will ask a lot of very stupid questions. Have patience with me. Welcome to the forum. Ask away. Stupid questions are my favourite - 'cos they usually seek out the information that half of us take for granted, and the other half don't ask because they think they sh...

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595

My, possible, solution to using a phone to tweek the Cardo settings was going to be to take a second phone that is only used for that purpose and not switched on when the Cardo, Zumo and phione with Garmin Smart Link are in use. Would that work? Yes - I think so. It would save messing with anything...

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595

Around the 11 minute mark he shows how to pair the GPS and how to pair the second phone. If you want the Zumo to be at the centre of things, take notice of what he has done, but don't follow the instructions - becasue that puts the Edge at the centre of things. Instead, when pairing the GPS roll the...

Re: Tread: no results when searching

Thanks for the post. It's nice to hear a positive response to the new online software. I have limited access to Tread, because I need to be able to plug in an XT2. There must be a way of fooling it with an sd card, but I have never tried.... This is in no way a criticism - except perhaps of me - The...

Re: Pairing Zumo 660 with Cardo EDGE?

It has been a long time since I owned a 660. But... Some things I discovered with the Edge and my current Zumo * Pair the edge as a second phone, not as a GPS * The passkey for the Edge is 0000. I don't recall ever using it. The opportunity to pair times out after a short time. Make sure that there ...

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595

The way that I set it up is the way Garmin intends, not as the way Cardo intends. Pair the edge to the 595 as a second phone, not as a GPS. I think that You need the voice going through the 595 - in effect, it needs to be seen as a phone by the headset. Pair the phone to the 595 as the first phone. ...

Re: New User - Mysterious Problem with my Zumo XT

Right - the Xt will only pair with one headset, so to get the Zumo to give you navigation and for you to be able to talk to your pillion, you need your headset to be paired with your pillions headset on a second channel. Pair your headset with the XT first, then pair your headset with the other head...

Re: XT2 changes Tread’s route when sync’d

I think I can probably answer that. But it would involve me in a lot of specuation about the disparity between Garmin's original concept and the ability of the average user or technical support worker to understand it. Particularly when the documentation that I have read hardly disturbs the air abov...

Re: XT2 changes Tread’s route when sync’d

I don't know Tread, and cannot experiment much as it requires an XT2. But I did some testing with how routes from Explore behave when they are sent to the XT. At the time, routes were just straight lines between points, and it was not possible to include a waypoint in a route. But it seemed to make ...
