Re: Bleeping nav 5

Hi guys I have gone into settings and switched off any alerts etc and will see if that makes a difference. Bleeping occurred whether or not a phone was linked. I'll report back (once it stops raining!) Thanks Peobody found and led me to the place for turning off school zone alerts. They still beepe...

Re: Music PLayer

I'm not going to worry about it too much as the music sounds a little better when going from phone to headset directly as opposed to being funneled through the XT2. Besides, I just put on a playlist and can control it from my headset directly better if I do at all. I tried last year with my XT, pho...

Re: CN NA 2025.10

Good point @rbentnail. It's sometimes difficult to get the right balance between Making a simple straight forward statement - which is accurate, to the point and is not cluttered with additional 'how-to' information Making a lengthy post which gives all of the necessary detail. This method runs the...

Re: CN NA 2025.10

Start GE with "Run as administrator" before trying to install maps to PC even if you are logged in as a user with admin privileges. Took me a long, long time to figure out how to do this. The whole time I was wishing you had given instructions on how to do it. There are many of us out her...

Re: Music stops and getting unwanted U turns ZUMO XT

Another way to view what you are describing: the XT is following the route precisely as designed. It's just that the points it is going to aren't placed perfectly on the road where you want to be. On the XT, I'd go to GPS Simulator (Settings/Navigation) and start the route. Then I'd zoom all the way...

Re: Airline Travel After Covid

I use a backpack with laptop, gps, mp3, and more (including chargers) every time I fly. Not once has the issue of having a gps come up. I don't think I was ever ask to take it out.

Re: Mount with USB?

From what I've read, the XT and XT2 power corded mounts, the ones you describe with only 2 leads, have their own embedded 12 volt to 5 volt converter so plugging that into a usb port isn't going to work. The XT has a usb port on it, I use it all the time to plug into my laptop and into a usb charger...

Re: No verbal directions when listening to MP3 over Bluetooth

Glad that worked ! You may have to do the same thing every now and then, but generally speaking once its set up, it works first time, every time. And if it doesn't - then you now know what to do ! I've found this to be largely untrue. 2 out of 3 times before a ride I have to un-pair and re-pair in ...

Re: Maps not updating on a 595

I've updated three 590 (all with 595 firmware) to the new maps happily, but I'm still on GE 7.19.0.0 (which GE claims is up to date, so maybe there's a problem with 7.20 as I'm not being offered it...) Exactly. In the past, folks would post about an available update but my devices wouldn't acknowle...

Re: Maps not updating on a 595

Wait a couple days and try again. I've had this happen on both a 595 and an XT.
