Mine does not do that. When it is in the cradle and the bike is running the GPS is powered from the bike 100% of the time.

Re: Can Garmin Express be installed on Mac?

I have it loaded on my new Mac running OS Monterey and it also ran quite happily on my old Mac running OS Catalina Edit: I don't use Garmin Express much but this thread reminded me so i have just updated to v7.12 on OS Monterey no problems. Once I updated GE it then updated a couple of things on the...

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

Is the power lead correctly installed in the GPS bracket? I know that there is a right way (as per the instructions from Garmin) and a wrong way to install that lead because I installed mine the wrong way to start with. The wrong way means the connectors on the two devices don't make proper contact.

Turn the volume on the headset down to zero when you don't want to hear spoken instructions.

Internal battery

Does anybody know what the capacity of the internal battery is? My XT battery seems to go flat after about 3-4 weeks of not being used with the GPS turned off which makes me think that the GPS probably does not actually turn off but rather goes into some sort of sleep mode. My old TomTom 400 battery...

Re: Zumo XT music artwork

Mostly people like to complain without saying what it does wrong. You could have finished the sentence after "Most people like to complain". :P It is human nature and people go out of their way to ensure their complaints are heard and spend way less time congratulating successful things. ...

My assumption is that the processor inside the GPS is probbaly not overly powerful and it can only process the large amount of data that would be required fpr this slowly,

Re: Zumo XT music artwork

Figured it out. The album art ID3 tags of the music files should be .jpg format (.png doesn't work). It’s extremely long winded to change every song with an ID3 editor. I used a program called Jaikoz to update the ID3 tags on the music I put on the XT (and for that matter on all the music I have st...
