Mounting XT as Mass Storage device on Windows

I just got a Zumo XT. When I connect it to my Windows 10 PC it gets mounted as a Media Transfer device (MTP), as opposed to a Mass Storage device (MSC) and therefore is not assigned a drive letter. Is there a way of changing this? The manual says that both modes are supported, but gives no indicatio...

Re: Touch Screen Troubles

I have the same issue. When I try to press on something with my gloved finger, the screen scrolls back and forth a bit rather than selecting the item. Drives me crazy.

Re: Removing residue from old trips

Not sure if you got the information you needed or not. I just got a 396 to replace my 660 and managing data is quite different. To deleted waypoints on the 396 go to "Saved" (via "Where to"), press the menu bar in the top left corner (indicated by the three bars), and then select...

Re: New routing flakiness

For what it's worth, I do this a little differently and do not have much trouble with routes. Create the route in BC. Export it (not drag or copy it) as a GPX file, saving it wherever you like on your computer or an external drive, but NOT on your zumo. Connect the zumo, then drag the file onto the...

Re: New routing flakiness

Since this is a very annoying problem (Reloading a route while riding my Harley is no fun, in particular not in winter with thick gloves on...) I am very interested in learning what you find. I have a question for you: When you wrote "sent it to the SD card, and imported it on the 660", w...

Re: New routing flakiness

So, I did get out yesterday to test again. I created a new route, sent it to the SD card, and imported it on the 660. At the first shaping point it recalculate successfully and then continued on the route. That the unit recalculates at shaping points, failing when the route is sent directly to it ra...

Re: Number of songs per device

just to be clear all the songs are in folders with 20 songs max in each folder a little over 95 folders which loads a little faster Just a note: I do the same (or similar) on my 660, one folder per album or collection and then create a .m3u playlist for the folder. Unfortunately, I discovered that ...

Re: New routing flakiness

Very glad to hear you are seeing some potential improvement. One question: are these routes using the same start and end points? I know my 660 basically refuses to navigate routes if the start and end are too close together, much less identical. -dan No, that doesn't seem to be the problem. I have ...

Re: New routing flakiness

I have North America NT 2019.3 (V22.30) on both the PC and the Zumo. I recently relocated, so all the routes that I have for this area have been newly created using this map, all with Basecamp. The routes I have been using have maybe 10 or 20 waypoints. I did get a chance to go out and do some exper...

Re: New routing flakiness

Thanks for the suggestions. I made (the painful) transition from MS to Basecamp many moons ago. I thought Garmin abandoned MS many years ago. The thing that is so strange is that this is new behavior (different software release, maybe?). A bunch of my trip counters had wrapped and I thought that mig...
