so when travelling and stopping, do you remove the XT and place it somewhere? I used to. The travel pack on my rear seat has external pockets and I'd just drop it in there. I've since installed a Motopumps lock so now I just put the unit to sleep when I stop and turn it back on later. It stays in t...

I measured the unit and bought a generic one from Amazon. I don't think I used it a single time last year, and maybe not the year before. It just rides around in my top case when traveling. Turns out for me it was a waste of money.

I have my XT cradle wired directly to the battery as well. Some prefer it that way, others don't. No biggie either way. While there I also installed a battery tender lead for when the bike sits for an extended period.

Yeah, the XT's faster road thing still aggravates the crap out of me. I've gotten into the habit of selecting a destination to let the XT calculate then touching the screen to get an overall view and then selecting a couple points (farthest away first, select as next stop, repeat) to shape a route m...

Thanks all. It seems I need to create a folder for each artist on the card within the zumo. I’m out today but I shall give it a try later on and report back. I am definitely NOT a computer geek, thus I have no idea what a "tag" or "metadata tag" are as described by Ikraus. I am ...

I play my music on shuffle on the XT by touching Music and select the source, MP3. There you have a list where you can play all songs, by album, by artist, etc. Again, I don't use any of that. On my display, when the music is playing, I touch the crossed arrows for shuffle.

Has nothing to do with Garmin and everything to do with file management. Can't help with a Mac but I use the File Explorer on my Win machine to see the SD Card as a drive called Memory Card. I do this without removing the card from the XT but I understand from Mac users it may be better to place the...

I'd include the track on each device and verify similarity. That way, as a precaution, regardless what the route may do on a device the exact track will never change.

I reset the trip odometer every time I fill up. It will do between 250 and 280 miles to a tank, so I start looking for fuel at around 220. But the fuel gauge isn't bad either. The various Zumo trips and bike stats - I can't be bothered with. Although I used to use the total riding time as an indica...

ya the 2005 Kawasaki 800 carb has no fuel gauge :shock: I did not think that any bike in the 800 size range built in 2000+ would not have a gauge, especially one suitable for touring. I had the 650-750's of the 80's and 90's. The biggest fuel worry was switching back to run after filling up so you ...
