Driver Assistance speeding alert can be set to off, Over, or 5mph Over for inside and outside the city area.Peobody wrote: ↑30 Sep 2023 17:29 My speed warning is off as well. It has been since early in my XT experience. Like @lkraus, I would find the it useful if I could set a sensitivity level; it going off at +1 mph over got old very fast. I do my best to adhere to speed limits when in urban areas but admit to cruising at +4, conditions permitting. At first I really liked that the color changed on the speed limit indicator. It served as an alert. I thought it was pretty accurate too. Not any more. I rate that last two CN NA NT maps at >50% accurate for speed limits which makes that color change just another unreliable part of the XT.
Note that this setting is stored separately for the car mode and for the bike mode. So if you set the settings when in your car, you will need to set them again when you are on the bike. Not that if you load a route that was intended for a car, then it switches the Zumo into car mode while the route is running, and it leaves it in car mode. When working on the XT on your desk with powere coing intot he USB port, the XT may well change itself to car mode - although I think this is the first Zumo that gives you a warning.
I've just changed my unit to be a USA variety - this gives it things like the Helmet Law notification when crossing boundaries, and 'Favourites' become 'Saved' and a few other things.Peobody wrote: ↑30 Sep 2023 13:27 Perhaps this is a U.S vs European device difference but my XT (U.S.) does not have Driver Assistance -> Proximity Alerts.
It didn't have the option where you could select off, single tone or continuous tone for alerts either until I added a custom POI list. Now I can't find how to access that option.
But the Driver Assistance Speeding Alert is still there. Proximity Alert was also still there, down at the bottom of a list of 8 items which starts with Rider Alerts. Proximity Alerts has 'Audio' as a menu item, which offers Single Tone, Continuous Tone or Off. Alerts just has Garmin Safety cameras on my unit in UK mode. But this may be where your own POIs may be listed for turning alerts on and off.
To change the region, you need to access the long press circular speedo button. It is in Configuration & Settings, Change Locale. The XT reboots on pressing Save.
Try changing your Locale to UK - see if that makes a difference. Clearly it affects some of the menus.
