well, my xt died over the winter, a day on usb, a day on the cradle , long press, nothing... soooo off to garmin for the exchange for $130 usd (bought new in like 2020) :cry:
anyways, I see the xt2 is on sale, and sorta looking at it... thoughts on going to the xt2 vs xt ?? more of the same, or a nice upgrade ?? trips faster, weather works in motion, or any nice things ??
I use explorer and have many things in collections, also MRA user, and have lots in folders and such there as well..also have my inreach mini2 tied to it..

2 weeks ago I had no thoughts of the xt2, but since I have to set up a new gps anyways, it got me thinking..
thanks for your time

One thought, as I have read in many other posts, the XT2 is not directly compatible with Basecamp, by design from Garmin.
