Re: Music on SD card

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...

Re: Tips for matching routes on two XT's

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.

Re: Fuel Gauge Setting ?

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...

Re: Fuel Gauge Setting ?

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 ...

Re: Fuel Gauge Setting ?

To me the XT fuel setting are useless bloat that I would love to delete. Last bike I owned that didn't have a fuel gauge was back in the 90's. I certainly don't need estimates from the XT when I have actual fuel level right there on my dash. I understand the 800 doesn't have one (you have the carb m...

Re: How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

with my routes and waypoints on files on the SD Card, I can delete those unneeded in internal memory and re-import them again whenever needed, that will keep 32GB storage space used in internal memory lower, putting most of the storage of waypoints and routes on the 64GB SD Card. I might even be ab...

Re: How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

An exported gpx on the card is invisible in Basecamp so I that can't tell just what is already on the card, and File Explorer can't tell me, either. The file has to be copied to the computer, and then imported into Basecamp to see what it contains, edited, then the revised version re-exported, re-c...

Re: How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

Yup! Just do everything from within Basecamp. In fact, there may not be any reason to use the card at all except for music. I emphatically disagree with this! I use the SD card EXCLUSIVELY for routes. I NEVER transfer to the internal memory. ---------------------------------------------------------...

Re: How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

I have never "created any directory structure myself". I do not export the route "out of Base Camp". Using Base Camp, I simply drag and drop the route (including waypoints) to the SD card. To me it's more important to have good organization with Base Camp's Lists and List Folders...
