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.

Re: SD Card

I downloaded 2 different gpx files v1.1 to my XT2, the first attempt showed only internal storage of the garmin. The second attempt is when I removed my memory card from my XT2 and put in my laptop to put the gpx v1.1 in the memory card, within the GPX directory. The internal storage found the gpx ...

Re: SD Card

Once again, I have NEVER formatted a new SD card in a computer prior to use in either my 595 or my XT. I simply place the new card in the device and turn it on. The device recognizes there's a card and asks if I want to format it. I select yes, it does its thing and the card is now completely compa...

Re: No verbal directions when listing to MP3 over Bluetooth

When listening to a MP3 over bluetooth that's broadcast to my van radio, there's no verbal directions. The music pauses but there's just silence during what should be a interruption of the music to announce a verbal direction. If I turn off bluetooth and just listen from the XT speaker, everything ...

Re: What XT case to get

will the XT fit in your case along with all those? Yep, if I used it as such ;) . I don't, everything but the XT goes in there. My point was, I bought a case and haven't used it for the XT at all. It was a waste of money. I could have just as easily spent $3 at a dollar store for generic tupperware...

Re: What XT case to get

I have this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002IICK9Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but I never use it. It's a perfect fit. It just sits on my computer desk. Looks identical to mine. I use it for postage stamps, usb thumb drive, SD cards for the XT, earbud tips, etc. when tr...

Re: Which GPS To Buy Now

I will certainly never buy an XT2 based on what I now know. isn't an XT2 the better upgrade to the XT ? Not to me it isn't. The Faster Roads instead of the old Faster Time will often add miles and hrs to my desired route. It's a horrible way to route on the fly which I do often by picking a destina...

Re: What XT case to get

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...

Re: What XT case to get

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.
