Poor Bluetooth Quality
Poor Bluetooth Quality
I've had Zumo 550, 660 and now a Navigator VI and all have been plagued with poor Bluetooth quality, it does seem to depend on connection order whether I get very good quality or poor crackly quality. I'm now looking to move to the Zumo XT, have Garmin finally fixed the BT quality issues or do they still not admit its an issue and the XT suffers too?

Phone calls on through the XT are a bit crackly at times but the rest seems fine to me
I always take calls directly from the phone now

yes they reduced it some time ago but SBS always seems to be cheaper and free next day delivery too

Re: Poor Bluetooth Quality
You have to use BT with the Zumo XT. I have found it to be very clear. - providing the BT devices are clear of the rear of the bike, where the ECU is located. It interferes with the reception very badly.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Re: Poor Bluetooth Quality
I get it crystal clear some times and crackly others, can be in the same day.
