Start a group ride to see positions of other riders on the zūmo® XT2 display; requires pairing with the Tread® smartphone app. The Zumo XT2 can be powered from any supply between 12V and 24V, and uses a much more compact cable than those of older Garmins. A fuse is included, though not attached to the wire – I didn’t use it as I powered the device from my Hex ezCAN (review here), which also powers it down when the ignition’s turned off. so whether it was the full reset or the drive app uninstall or a mixture of both, it seems to have cured the issue I had. I have combined two screens into one for this image. The top bit with the speed and the TripA and Trip B is always visible. The bit underneath shows either the top two rows of data or the bottom two rows - accessed by rpessing the up/down arrow on the left.)

Alerts can be audible, though if they’re turning off music that you have playing through your intercom, they can get frustratingly frequent, particularly in city centres. Reliability was a problem with the last Garmin I reviewed, and I’m disappointed to see that some petrol stations listed on the Zumo XT2 still turn out to be long out of use (even completely different buildings in some cases) when I arrive at them. The search isn’t perfect – looking for a ‘motorcycle shop’, ‘motorbike shop’, ‘motorcycle dealer’, ‘motorcycle garage’ or ‘motorcycle mechanic’ doesn't deliver local dealers. That'd be helpful, but again, Google will help if you need it. Searching for ‘Webbs’, the Peterborough Yamaha dealer appeared though, showing in the info as in a section called ‘Everyday Life: Motorcycle Shop’ (despite that not being listed in the Categories), so it’s strange that it doesn't come up when looking for ‘Motorcycle Shop’. It seems odd not to group motorcycle dealers and mechanics, in case someone needs a mechanic while on a big trip.

I’m unable to compare the two directly, but I did get my hands on an original XT to give a rough idea of the differences…. To find the delivery costs for an item simply place the item in your basket. Our delivery costs for most items are based on each item's size and weight. Delivery and handling estimates that appear in the basket are calculated with our lowest cost delivery method

the next way, is on the main navigating map, hit the speed, and stats show up, trip a, b, and more information, that can be reset.

You can set the Garmin up to suit you and your riding so it shows what you want to see. If you go into Settings you can find: There are other niggles with the navigation: laybys often show up as toilets, and while many might smell like it, there’s rarely an official loo there.

Hear navigation prompts, music, and calls hands-free when paired with optional compatible headset and Tread® smartphone app You can select from 4 levels. Level 1 is the fastest route, Level 2 is the straight route, Level 3 is adventurous and Level 4 is a more adventurous route taking more hills & curves into account. here maps provide high quality detailed street level maps, which in addition to street information include features such as route calculation, Points of Interest (POI), Estimated Time of Arrival, and more. I can confirm the product includes a USB cable which you can use to charge the device via a computer, or themains. The ‘Popular Paths’ are those most ridden by other motorcyclists using Garmin, and can clutter the map so I leave them turned off. I haven’t noticed any Michelin Scenic roads pop up (I may have missed them), but I leave them turned on.

On this trip, I first tried the phone streaming direct to the intercom with the Garmin kept out of the loop. As that worked fine, I then streamed the music via the XT2, which gave control (I was using the DoubleTwist app on my phone) to the sat-nav via its app.

The Garmin Zumo XT2 is IPX7 rated, meaning it’s not been rated for dust resistance (the X), but that it could be submerged to 1m for 30 minutes. So it’s waterproof, and as long as the silicone covers on the base are kept closed, dust won’t be a problem.The Garmin zumo XT2 can be paired with a compatible Garmin inReach satellite communicator e.g. Garmin inReach Mini 2. Once paired this feature enables two-way messaging, location sharing and, in case of emergencies, SOS capabilities via the compatible Garmin inReach handheld device and the Garmin zumo XT2 motorcycle sat nav. The zūmo XT2 GPS navigator provides innovative, moto-specific features to bring an enhanced level of fun and enjoyment to both on- and off-road expeditions:
