Greetings from Colorado

Post by Cuchulainn »

I recently purchased a Zumo XT to replace my Zumo 595, which in turn replaced my old Zumo 390.

I also recently switched from Mac to PC for business reasons, so hoping to get find some good ideas for mounting, screen protectors and other stuff for the XT as well as pick up some tips and tricks for BaseCamp for PC. I have only dabbled briefly with the PC version of BaseCamp.

Thanks for that! That is what I had on my Zumo 595 and I had forgotten the name of the company. I tried to find it in a random search for screen protectors but never came across it. I will order from them :)

It's works much better with the brighter screen of the XT.

Looking at their site, I am pretty sure it was the Triple-A film that I had on the 595. As you say, it should work even better on the brighter XT display :)

I just applied the Triple A one to my XT in the hopes that it would eliminate the reflection from my hi-viz jacket and white helmet while riding and from the window behind me when working with the XT at home. It dulls the reflections but not enough to justify purchasing it solely for anti-glare purposes.

Welcome!

I use A Brotect non reflective glass screen protector. Buy packs of 3.

Your other question for the XT and Basecamp:

Today, I discovered something really important. I found another way that doesn't work.
