Re: how to stop rain affecting XT

I just checked, there is definitely NOT an XT lock screen by following those directions.

Re: BT Headset for XT needed any ideas?

For your bluetooth adapter, do you also have an attached usb power bank to it to make the adapters battery last longer? I got my receiver but wondering if the small battery in the adapter is enough to play music from the zumo on a long ride. Nope, no power bank here. The adapter I got lasts at leas...

Re: Cannot Calculate Route

I downloaded your route out of curiosity, there are others here more likely to help. But right off I see loop routes, crossover routes, backtracked routes and it looks like the end and start points are the same. These things are problematic for the XT. It looks like all of this can be solved by havi...

It's becoming clearer now for me, thanks 8-)
Exactly!

Re: Inexpensive Android Tablet for Tread?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 that I use every morning as a news reader but have also used it for streaming and web browsing. It's small enough to be handy but still substantial feeling. I like it a lot. I have a cover on it that folds into a stand. Admittedly it is a toy for me. A 15.6" Wind...

Re: Cleaning Files from Zumo XT

Re: Is my Zumo 550 now a paperweight

Success, I tried it again, the 550 does indeed play MP3 music via bluetooth on the 550 to an external bluetooth speaker. I unpaired the FLIP4 from my Samsung phone this time and then did a fresh pair again of the FLIP4 to the 550 and success. Also in the 550 Bluetooth screen press 'Audio' and then ...
