Re: ZUMO XT questions from newbie
For a cross country trip, I normally carry my laptop, which has a copy of Garmin's Basecamp software and my current database of routes, etc, just in case I need to alter the rides I planned. I used to do this, but now carry my tablet and mobile phone instead, with my current database on MyRouteApp ...

Re: Working with route names
There's a simple solution for this problem - normally you already know the direction, in which you will be driving! Just set the starting point around 500 meters from your house/hotel or so!

Re: Zumo XT on sale..
I don't think I've ever had a problem when I wander off route. I simply zoom out and work out how to rejoin it.

Re: Transfering routes from PC to Zumo
An alternative while on tour is to plot routes using MRA on a tablet, then Garmin Drive to the XT.

Re: Not loving the car mount
Yes, a useful suggestion. Our cheapskate alternative is to mount the XT on a friction pad and plug it in only once each trip. It then sits comfortably on top of the dashboard when navigating, and out of sight in the passenger footwell otherwise!

Re: Suggested reading, please
