Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?
I would contact Garmin support - you may perhaps have a bad unit!

Re: Garmin Vehicle Power Cable With Extra USB Charging Port
Has anybody ever "worn out" a Mini USB port? I've got some gear that is 15-20 years old, with a MiniUSB port that still works just fine. I don't see the harm in just using a cable for the XT when in the car. Adding a bike mount just adds extra junk on the dash/windshield/wherever you mount...

Re: Airline Travel After Covid
If I'm going to be driving when on a trip, the XT always comes with me on my carry-on. It has NEVER been a problem.

Re: XT cradle mount question
I always give it a quick wiggle and tug after mounting it - if I can't pull it off with my hand, I'm not concerned about it magically popping loose later. I've criss-crossed the Rockies and all over the Smoky Mountains a couple times without a single incident.

Re: Nice side by side comparison between XT and XT2
Weather animation while rolling would be a pleasant surprise, but I'd wager that if it was lawyers who made them turn it off on the XT, there's no way it would be enabled on the XT2. I'd LOVE to be wrong, though!

Re: Connecting the Zumo to a Mac is still a royal pain
I don't own a Mac or any other Apple product (and i intend to stay that way). Can you not do the following? Export or "backup" your tracks to SD within the XT and then remove the SD from the XT and insert into a card reader (or internal card reader) to copy over the track files directly? ...

Re: Connecting the Zumo to a Mac is still a royal pain
Mostly all I use Basecamp for now is to pull the tracks after a long trip.
I wanted to map out my 8-day trip in an overview, and there's no easy way I know of to pull that data with any other software.

Re: Connecting the Zumo to a Mac is still a royal pain
Basecamp finally worked by doing the ridiculous: 1. Back up Basecamp config (just in case) 2. Delete the (fully-up-to-date) Basecamp application 3. Reinstall Basecamp 4. Run Basecamp - notice spinny beachball for a minute and a half, and then it starts populating with data from the Zumo XT What a pi...

...and... Android File Transfer now works - screenshots have been downloaded.
Killed Android File Transfer Agent, and Garmin Express now sees the XT plugged in. So far, so good.
But Basecamp? Nope. No devices connected. The saga continues.

Re: Connecting the Zumo to a Mac is still a royal pain
Followup: I see I posted the same complaint a year ago, so at least I'm consistent.
My former self said I had success when I plugged the Zumo into a powered hub, rather than directly into my USB-C port on the Macbook Pro, so I'm trying that now. Wish me luck!
