Re: Paring XT as a phone. Any downsides?

My XT has been paired with my Cardo Packtalk Bold as Phone 2 for quit a while. I think when I first got it I did it as GPS but (iirc) the phone functions on the XT didn't work (properly.) As phone2 it can do phone functions like dial pad dialing or dialing contacts and, at least in my case, it works...

Re: XT locking device

... You are correct in what you say, although Ram offer a security 'wheel' to replace the thumb wheel. Personally I would not recommend using a Ram mount as it is something else to vibrate / move and put the unit out of the ideal position. My TT mount is bolted firmly to the bike. The "Ram&quo...

Re: 'Real' Speed not displaying correctly

When you are getting delayed speed reports it usually means that your GPS is not getting a strong reliable signal. It could be because of things blocking some of the satellites and/or just because the satelites are not in a good position to lock onto enough satelites to calculate locations. Yes when...

Re: XT can't make calls

@Peobody

if you get it hooked up and working you can press the "Voice Dial" button on the XT. This does the same as saying "Hey Siri or "Okay Google or Hey Google" and passes your command the phone.

Re: When following a route, what is the top right mile indicator?

I have been playing with the GPS from my recliner and think I have figured out that it is some sort of scale of miles because the value changes with screen zooming. While riding, I see it change but don't notice a change in zoom. Perhaps the commonly seen change from ".8 mi" to "1.2 ...
