Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

I have exactly this problem with my XT on my Tiger 900. I have received four new mounts from Garmin and they even replaced my XT in case it was a hardware problem in the unit. Using the brand new XT this week on a touring trip and once again it has also shut down to battery mode randomly and the sc...

Re: Speed Camera Warning After Market

I can't get on with the Garmin Speed Camera warnings. It is the same sound as the speed change warning. I use Pocket GPS worlds after market downloads. On the 550/690 and 590 you could set POI in the excel file to ping only once. You changed the @ to a - But it does not work now. Any pointers or ca...

Re: Adding name to post code

Probably the easiest thing is to save it as a way point, you can then add an icon & name, its then very easy to find in 'Favourites'.

Re: Duplicate maps on my XT

Luckily for me Garmin resolved the issue where you could not download maps to your PC (windows 10). It took them weeks, but I think they updated Express & it resolved the issue. I can definitely see the maps & their type via windows explorer, and in my case they are NTU. Have you got the map...

Re: Duplicate maps on my XT

I think something is not quite right. The XT uses City Navigator NTU type maps. 'NT' is used by older Garmin GPS models. I have an old Montana 600 and that uses NT type maps. Have you an older Garmin GPS, its looks as if you may have managed to put the old type maps on it? I have just checked my XT ...

Re: Waypoint icons

When I got my XT I exported all my waypoints into Garmin Explore & then synched with the XT. From memory they all appeared as green flags, so I went into Explore & edited the icons. However I only had about 60! When I synched the XT to Explore a second time it replaced the plain green icons ...
