Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
I find the screen to be better with an anti-glare protector on it. The first one I used was for a SmartDrive 55, which covered the screen area. It worked OK in bright sun and the glass screen was protected from my wet, muddy, grit-encrusted index finger, but I thought it would be better to cover the...

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
OK, probably a stupid question but is Garmin Explore the new Garmin Basecamp? Is this what you would now use to route plan? I had a look at it on my PC, although I don't have a compatable device as yet, and it didn't seem anything like Basecamp so I'm guessing it maybe isn't. And if it isn't, what ...

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
[mention]Stu[/mention], well, that works differently than VBulletin. Gotta hold that @ down and type, I see. Thanks! [/quote]...Anyway for the EULA it will have more than likely got a gps signal and registered as moving so all will be good now :D [/quote] Ah! Now I get it. I didn't associate the app...

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
@stu, the EULAs stopped after the first couple of days. My test today was inconclusive. I took it about three miles away with it shut down. When it was turned on it had satellites and no EULA came up. I will say that it finds satellites much faster than the 660 does. I should do a side-by-side on th...

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
If I recall correctly, it had reception, but perhaps it was learning.
I will move it a few miles and turn it on. That ought to throw a hitch into it's git-along enough to make it have to re-acquire.

Re: What bike(s) do you ride?
When by myself I have a KLR650.
At other times I use an R1200RT.

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
I cleaned off all routes and points that had come from Explore (that required going back to the Explore app on the i-phone), the unit itself, and from Basecamp. The unit had no data on it except for a persistent 001 which represents the current position. This does not show up in Where To>Saved . Whe...

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
The MP3 files on the SD card worked on the second try without anything in internal memory. Who knows why; there is always a chance there was an unknown operator error involved. Missing songs were solely due to there being ~1850 songs. The unit read the first 1024 items and reported them. The rest we...

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
All of the above was with the card installed in the XT.
At this moment I am moving 1000 songs onto the card while the card is installed in the laptop.

Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions
This is maddening. I, AGAIN, created an MP3 directory on the SD card. I dragged some music to the SD card and then moved it into the MP3 directory. The last time, I created the MP3 directory and then moved music directly into it. This should have no effect whatsoever on the end outcome, but I note i...
