Garmin zūmo XT All-Terrain Motorcycle Sat Nav, 5.5-inch Ultrabright and Rain-Resistant Display, One Size, Black

I have been using Garmin Satnavs for many years now, relying on it for years now in my role as a Motorcycle Instructor / Advanced Examiner. I've had many different models as Garmin evolved their units, now with the XT model. I always use their mapping system too, to make sure a new route works. Simply cannot fault them with lots of other abilities they build into it. Personally, I would not be without mine.

Being my first motorcycle sat-nav, I can't comment on how it compares with others. That being said, I love this device. The large clear screen and fast processor are great. It's also easy to use. As a rider who likes to plot exact routes, I didn't like the Garmin Basecamp software, it feels old fashioned and clunky. I use the MRA MyRoute app with this device and the two work well together. Navigation seems a bit of a black art with everyone's algorithms working differently. It came with the auto mount kit included with the motorcycle kit. This makes it easy to use in both situations. Most electronic device purchases disappoint in some way, this product has not done and I'm happy with it.

Bought this as a replacement for a 10 year old Garmin Zumo 396. This Zumo XT is a far superior GPS. I have used it on 3 European tours now and I am completely satisfied with the performance. My only criticism is that it is very slow to connect with my computer when I want to download preplanned routes. Whether this is just a problem with my my Zumo XT or in general, I don't know. Otherwise it's great and I am very pleased with it

It's a Garmin so you know it's a good product. The TX screen is plenty big enough to see/check with a quick glance on the move. Maps are easy to download. Route planning can be as simple as putting a destination in and choosing how 'twisty' you want it to be by moving the on screen slider or you can plan the whole route on your PC and download it. Highly recommended.

being old school I still look at maps and make notes, which at times I've been glad of because there are times when this satnav does pick some odd routes and sometimes it can be a little slow, you can by right on top of a round about waiting for directions and it can be a little last minute at times, on whole I'm happy but it does have some quirks

Addition to my initial review. This does not come with a powered car mount, there is a mount and a usb charger to plug into the USB mini B port on the back of the unit, this is garbage!! the usb mini b port was obsolete in 2007, this is a repeat of below, it was done away with due to not being robust, and failing within 1000 insertions, which if like me you use it in a car is only three in and out of the cable a day, I often do more than that not wanting to leave on view in a vehicle. It has completely failed within 12 months, shorted out and no longer works. Be aware if you want to use it in a vehicle. Whats to like and what not, first it is a great screen bright clear, and responsive, looks and feels fairly robust, thats about it, you may ask why not send it back, well that is due to the fact that it is better than the opposition and they are the only two options so its take it or leave it, I need a bike sat nav so this is it, but to be fair the design is pretty garbage. Whats not to like but put up with, we USB connected that was obsolete in 2007 for a start, the mounting system is flimsy, the screen is to responsive sometimes and no way to tone it down, the software is not as intuitive as previous versions, no option for the trip info screen with compass, no usb, no headphone attachments on the cables, in fact no headphone jack at all, very little customization of the screen display, you can get it to show different information but not permanently it constantly switches back, feels cheap against previous models. Its not worth the money, feels cheap and nasty, software is nowhere as easy to use as previous versions, lot of very useful functions removed. Oh no powered car mount either, so constant pulling of the little rubber door on the back to plug in a 15 year old usb connector with a lighter socket plug on the end!!!! what plant do Garmin live on, a usb connect to power direct off 5v would be fine but no you get a monstrous large 12v to 5v transformer in a lighter socket plug, I mean this is 1990 tech not 2021, some really weird design choices. In short you are being ripped off, its a paired back device compared to even the last version, and being charged top price for it. The ONLY reason to buy one is that there are only 4 real gps devices for bikes, 2 by garmin and 2 by competitor, this is the best of the 4 but that is not really saying much. Caveat Emptor

Pleased with product. Takes a while to get familiar with its use. Practiced as passenger in car.

Love the device itself and the Off Road mode that means you can follow Off Road Tracks I can plot “Green Lanes” routes in the OS Map software and transfer them to Tracks on the XT. This allows me to plot only “Boats”, so no more getting told off by walkers for accidentally going on a Green Lane not meant for motorcycles. The Garmin Drive App works flawlessly, however the Garmin Explore Apps and web page definitely need more work. The Collections are a brilliant idea but isolating particular Routes or Tracks is hit and miss in Explore.

bluffé par le produit, qualite, finition, qualite de la dalle tactile et reactivite. ergonomie excellente du logiciel qualite et definition graphique tres tres bonne ergonomique dans la navigation des menus , rapide pour synchro avec les satellite facilite synchro bluetooth egalement tu balances ta playlist du telephone et tu pilote alors ta music sur le gps, le telephone est dans la poche au chaud tres lisible, ecran affiche fait quasiment la taille flobale du boitier! utilisation moto 1290sas ktm.... esthetiquement sympa aussi prevoir queques minutes pour la premeire mise a jour wifi , le package est gros... 30-45 minutes en ce qui me concerne malgre un bon reseau wifi et une fibre 500mo a 1g j hesitais avec le tomtom rider 550, mais ce dernier est d une autre epoque deja, et le.prix du zumo xt, ici m a facilite le choix. bref sans regret un bel objet, lourd, donc attention a ne pas le faire tomber, je pense que la dalle fera glace ;) fourni avec toute les accessoires pour le branxher, fixer en coiture et sur la moto il manque jsute une housse de transport qu on trouve 10€ et eventuellement un verre de protection ecran. j ai recu le mien zumo xt donc semaine derniere. il est simple à apprehender, hyper rapide à synchroniser satellites, sensible au toucher gants, conviviale, ergonomique. Que du bon. un vrai plaisir plus plus en moto. j ai pu avec un des kits de fixation fournis, le monter sur le centre du guidon de ma 1290superadventure 2020, il est idealment placé. j ai,pas encore achete le kit fixation vendu par ktm car finalement , le gps fixe au guidon est accessible, bien visible, ne masque pas le compteur de la moto, ni la vue. et c est moins blingue blingue m as tu vu que de le suspendre au dessu du compteur moto. ce qui bouche le a vue......

I made a grave mistake when I decided to go for this navigation system for my beloved BMW GS, thinking I was saving a cool 360 euros by not splurging on the original BMW nav. Well, let me tell you, I've regretted that decision. Here's why this purchase has been nothing short of a navigational nightmare: First off, updating this thing is like trying to teach a dinosaur to tap dance. The desktop app, Garmin Express, seems to have a PhD in avoiding my device. I had to play musical chairs with cables and USB ports until, by some cosmic accident, it finally acknowledged the existence of my nav. And no, it didn't do it because I made any specific changes - it just felt like it. This kind of inconsistent behavior is what nightmares are made of, especially in the realm of software. Speaking of Garmin Express, it's the emptiest app in the history of emptiness. It's good for one thing and one thing only - fixing map issues and updating software. Forget about pasting GPX files into it; you'll need to employ another piece of software for that. So, it's essentially an app that's supposed to make your life easier but just leaves you scratching your head. Now, let's talk about importing trip data. When it comes to GPX files for road trips, this thing's idea of calculation seems to be stuck at 96% on repeat, like some bad '90s pop song. Sometimes it doesn't even get off the starting block, stuck at a glorious 0%. It works only when it feels like it, probably when it's having a good day. This level of inconsistency should be a Guinness World Record in the "How Not to Design Software" category. Garmin, I hate to break it to you, but you're a one-trick pony. This device can barely do 10% of what my old OnePlus Android phone can do. I'd rather dust off that trusty old phone, fire up Waze, and enjoy a much smoother, more feature-rich experience. Sadly, the 449 euros I dropped on this gadget now feel like they've vanished into the abyss. Am I still using it, you ask? Well, reluctantly, yes. I reserve it for those quick A-to-B rides when I can't be bothered with the hassle. For trip planning, though, I turn to my dependable Android, where I can tap into a world of navigation apps that actually work. This whole ordeal has shown me just how far mobile phone technology has come compared to these archaic navigation systems. Garmin, it's time to step out of the '90s and catch up with the modern world of navigation. Until then, my motorcycle and I will be navigating into the future without you.

Good quality

Ich komme vom Zumo 390 und bin mit dem Garmin Zumo XT sehr zufrieden. Positive Bilanz nach 12 Monaten Einsatz! Besonders begeistert mich das brillante, große Display, das selbst bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung hervorragend ablesbar ist. Die Bedienung ist intuitiv und perfekt für den Einsatz auf dem Motorrad per Handschuhe ausgelegt. Ein echtes Highlight sind die aktuellen Verkehrsinfos, die bei der Routenplanung und unterwegs sehr hilfreich sind. (Straßensperrungen, Staus etc.) Zumindest meistens. Ebenso überzeugt die nahtlose Integration von Smart Notifications: WhatsApp-Nachrichten, SMS und andere Benachrichtigungen werden übersichtlich angezeigt, ohne dass man zum Smartphone greifen muss. So kann man immer noch entscheiden, ob mal anhält. Zusätzlich nutze ich die Einbindung von zusätzlichen Reifendrucksensoren, die zuverlässig Druckverlust anzeigen. In Kombination mit Apps wie der Blitzer-App werden Warnungen sowohl akustisch als auch optisch direkt auf dem Display ausgegeben. Das erhöht den Komfort und die Aufmerksamkeit während der Fahrt erheblich. Bis dato keine Abstürze etc. Updates erledige ich per Kabel + Rechner. Per WLAN gab es schon mal Probleme. Am Ende dann der Verweis, man solle den Vorgang am Rechner wiederholen. Solange zu Hause, kein Problem. Auf ner Tour im Hotelzimmer ist die Sache schon schwieriger. Deswegen kein WLAN unterwegs. Für mich ist das Garmin Zumo XT ein zuverlässiger Motorradnavigator mit vielen durchdachten Funktionen. Klare Kaufempfehlung! 👍🏍️📍
