Fellow XT2ers, against my better judgement I bought a “Garmin dual port USB power adapter for $24.95 CAD plus shipping. I had tried every USB charger in the house including one listed at 2.4 amps, and all of those showed to be “not charging” and as soon as I plugged into the over priced Garmin char...

Hi jfheath, A long time ago, I suffer from this during a long trip. Since then, to avoid any mishaps, immediately after transferring the selected routes from Basecamp, I usually rename the temp.gpx file in the GPX folder of the zumo using windows explorer("temp20240110.gpx" for example) a...

I don't/won't leave the XT in the cradle when I am away from the bike. Theft is a concern but I often bring it in to whatever facility I have stopped at, maybe looking to see how close the route goes to a place learned about during the ride, or maybe to review the remainder of the route. Eventually...

I agree with the others. I've used my XT for both on- and off-road. It does on-road reliably and once you learn the minor quirks of it it will serve you well. Something I have noticed- the more you try to do with it by digging deeper and deeper into files, structures, multi-purposing and the like th...

If I may suggest- put the new SD card in the zumo and see what happens. I did this with the last 3 cards I bought and 2 different zumos asked me if I wanted it formatted, including the 128 gb card in my XT. Sometimes there is no need to use a computer for this but be aware- in the zumo world, you ma...

All stop! What worked yesterday didn't work today. This is what I had: XT BT paired with phone. XT BT paired with BT receiver. Wired earbuds plugged into receiver, one inserted in ear. Started route, initial instructions came through earbud. I could play music from the XT SD card through my earbud. ...

Making any progress? I might be! By Bluetooth pairing the adapter and the XT, I got turn instructions and the music played from the SD card. I also had my Android phone paired to the XT for Garmin Drive app weather, traffic, etc. messages. I've been doing these for a while. Today I figured out how t...

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

That looks pretty good! I've never been a fan of the u-bolt mounts.

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...
