2) how to change deg F to deg C but stay in miles . UK
3) how to change map themes, they were on the xt2. Where are they?

Re: XT3 HOW TO
1) i don't know, but it might still be available somewhere; at least the German websites still advertise speed cameras with phrases like “Information on sharp curves, schools, red-light cameras, radar controls, and more”Multirider wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2026 5:41 pm First 3 how to questions from me.

3) Presumably the same as with the Tread 2; apparently removed from the menu for users
Presumably , as with the Tread 2, the display option allowing users to make a selection has been removed from the menu.
Garmin Support has also made a statement for this question, like: "Not available on the zumo XT3"
However, there is edit: no hope, unfortunately, not for everyone
Internally, at least the Tread 2 which lost this feature also (officially),
the device works with the map themes even without the menu, just as it always has; that’s what I’ve observed.
But changing the themes is only possible if the Tread 2 device’s internal database is modified manually.
- copy your themes .KMTF to the device
- copy settings.db to your local PC, find the relevant data entry there, modify it
- copy settings.db back to device
And as if by magic, I had my desired themes back
Attention

It seems, the Tread 2 workaround doesn't work on the zumo XT3.
I got a settings.db file from the zumo XT3. Unfortunately, We didn't find anything matching the “Themes” entries mentioned above

Re: XT3 HOW TO
@proofresistant Have you settings.db file from XT2 or Tread 2, please?

Seriously though, I can get you both of them, just give me some time.
I need to look through my personal data first, since I haven’t done that in such detail before.
And if I do, I’ll send you a private message

Re: XT3 HOW TO
Although my R1200 ST has a chassis Öhlins TTX EC for GS, front frame and other parts from the GS, I’m backward of mud and only ride on asphalt or flat, compacted gravel.proofresistant wrote: Sun Mar 22, 2026 8:40 pm Only if we ever ride the TCT (Trans Czech Trail) together![]()
