I learned this the other day but, if you just touch and hold the back arrow button it will take you immediately back to the home page with out having to click multiple times to get you there.

Your videos are a model for how this sort of thing should be done. Absolutely great!

...just picked up my Zumo XT. It hasn't even been fitted yet. This was an exceptional tutorial. Thank you.

Excellent video. I appreciated you moving right along with the instruction but with clarity and a cadence that was easy to follow. I saved hours of messing around by watching this. Thanks

You can't beat Cruiseman for explaining stuff👍

Sending a big thankyou from across the pond. I’ve struggled to plan trips on my Garmin 395, and your explanation is the clearest thing I’ve found 👍👍👍

Thanks for this very clear and complete tuto

Bloody good, clear and concise tutorial just how it should be done

Great tutorial. Clear, concise and easy to follow. First class!

Were you a teacher at some point? You’re really good at explaining things simply and effectively. I just got one of these units and find your videos very helpful.

Superb, you couldn’t have explained it any simpler, thanks

Hi, Cruiseman. I just purchased a Zumo XT and this video was very helpful.

I recently bought the Zumo Xt. There is a lot more to learn than an automotive GPS. Thank you for your in - depth instructional video; I had my GPS partially set up your video help me complete the rest. There is so much to learn and know I have to go learn Base Camp.

Superb demo many thanks, at 63 I hate computers and elektrickery but this helped Ride safe

Great tutorial. Just bought a Zumo and this will be very helpful, thank you.

This is EXACTLY what I was after. Thank you sir.

I just received my new XT and am exploring all it's features. Your video on the trip planner really helps. To be honest I didn't even know the XT had the onboard planner until I saw your video, but to be completely honest I hadn't looked in the apps yet. So, thank you very much. BTW, the XT is replacing my venerable old Zumo 550 which is still functioning fine on bike and in car but is certainly showing its technological age. The XT, from extensive review reading, is the first motorcycle GPS i considered worthy of replacing the 550.

Awesome video clear quick and concise thank you

That's a GREAT tutorial, just information outlined in the video description! !! !!!

Excellent demo Cruiseman…good stuff “thank you”

Great video! Extremely informative…very professionally done! Thanks so much!!

Great video... It helped me immensely get started my Zumo XT.

Thank you SO MUCH for your GREAT video! I've been using Garmins for years, but still learning. I now know how to add a location between locations! Subscribing!

PERFECT- exactly what I was looking for to learn about this. Thanks!

Clear, precise and very well presented. Thank you.

An excellent description and clearly explained, thank you.

Excellent. Garmin is the way to go for GPS. This one looks like a winner.

I will upgrade to this thanks to your excellent video. If it behaves like my old one, a good thing to know is you can get back to the initial screen in one hit from any other screen just by pressing and holding the back arrow button. A very informative and well presented video. Thanks.

Really clear. I enjoy your style of explanation!.

Very informative. Thank you. Many thumbs up.

Very good review. I've just added the Zumo XT to my V-Strom.

Hi Driftless Rider, just got my Zümo XT, after your clip I see I must learn a lot. Ty for showing one of many, many skill of my navigation. Have a wide road anytime. J.

Excellent job. Very well put together. Just subscribed.

Such a well put together video tutorial! Thank you

Thankyou for sharing this, very informative.

Brilliant 🤩 thanks very much for your video, very helpful

This is an excellent video. We are currently using the Garmin 660 but considering upgrading

Excellent tutorial. One of those you wish you could give more than 1 like. I downloaded this

Great instructional video, thanks!

Great video! Well done and very informative. Thank you!

Great information. Thanks so much for the detailed explanation!

Very clear and helpful. Many thanks.

This was a great vid thank you so much for being so clear

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you.I experimented with this today. Looks like it is not possible to drop waypoints when roads are seasonally closed. Probably not an issue in Tx but it is in Or. in the McKenzie Mountains.

Very clear explanations. Thank you.

Brilliant, great explanations , Thankyou

Great video, very informative thank you

Very useful video, thanks.

Thanks for that. Great instructions

Fantastic reviews of the XT and trip planner, thanks!

Excellent video ! Thanks much !

Very well explained, thank you.

Thank you for the brilliant tutorial

Thanks for the excellent information

Great video. Thanks so much

Hi Cruiseman....you're the best ...thanks for the great Zumo video...i have the same DCT GOLDWING as you...if you got the extra dough get a Africa Twin DCT ES ADVENTURE SPORTS....I'd think you'd love it as a change of pace now and then ...it's a also a keeper...thankyou again.

EXcellent! The Garmin XT is the first stand-alone GPS I've seen that is actually practical to use to plan a route!

Fantastic job

Thanks man! Thanks Garmin!

Loved the clip!!!!

Thank you sir, so clear.

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, My Garmin is BMWs Navigator 6 , but this will help to learn mine . Really appreciate this instructional video .

So helpful. Thank you-

I have that Gps,. And I just Love it.. It's Awesome. U can answer calls from GPS. and it comes through my Bluetooth headset. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Excellent! Thank you.

You are a great thorough communicator. Thanks for showing me how to set up a trip. Question, I just added a SD card to my Zuni cat for South America. I’m traveling to next month how do I see on the Garmin where that map is installed? How do I start using that map?

Well done vid thanks

Wonderful information

Thank you!

So informative ! Thank you !

That ‘where do you want to start your trip’ feature is incredible. Neither Google Maps or my Garmin Montana have it and it’s a pain in the ass if you need to restart your phone or app as it won’t navigate.

Very clear video. Thank you! Will the Zumo turn you around and take you on the same route in reverse to get back home again?

Thank you

Excellent tutorial. Does the Zuni 396 work the same way?

Nice video. Very informative. I don't have my XT yet, but on my nuvi, if you push and hold the return button, it will jump back to the home screen eliminating having to push the button several times.

Thanks for these videos! I’m baffled how any McDonalds on earth could receive a 4-star Trip Advisor review though. 😂

Excellent 👍👍

Great video. For the routes I have imported into my XT, why when I open the route and hit nearest entry point, it only displays the route from where I currently am taking me to only the first or starting point of the route? The entire route is not displayed. I assumed when choosing "Closest Entry Point" meant no matter where I am, it will take me to the closest point anyshere on the entire route from where I am. Thanks

Thank you!! May your children be blessed with super wealthy parents :)

Thanks for the great instructions - I am a school bus driver and I have poor sense directions so I was given a Garmin GPS which I am not familiar at all. We have a new kid on the bus so which means I have to add a new address in my planner but I have no idea or another words there was no where it says ‘edit trip planner’. It’s very poor set up the way Garmin do their GPS. Is not very clear at all. I appreciate for helping out and I’ll try see if this works when I get to work 👍

Great video. I just got an XT a little over a week ago at a Spyder rally in MO when my 660 started malfunctioning. I skimmed through the manual and just jumped right in by importing several of the rally routes gpx files all which were loops back to starting location. Of course I got off course on the very first route but eventually got back on the route but after a few miles I missed a turn and but instead of directing me to do a u-turn it recalculated to take me down the road I was to ?. I was only a few yards from the missed turn, did a u-turn and rejoined the route on my own. But the XT kept recalculating to take me directly back to the start/finish and followed its directions for awhile but realized what was happening and just ignored the directions and followed the track (blue line) and finished the route that way. It even put me 2.5 of gravel which it was supposed to avoid. I’m not sure what I did wrong but I didn’t have a similar problem with several other loop rydes I took over the week. Maybe there was an errant waypoint in the route as they were downloaded from sponsoring group Facebook page and tweeked by me in Basecamp. I’m still learning as this thing is quite a bit different than my 660 but I love it. Thanks again for the video.

Ooooof Midland TX, used to live there. Sorry you ever have to go !!!

Will custom made waypoints show up while navigating after they have been imported? When I view the trip on the zumo xt after transferring, I don't see any of the waypoints I have created and imported.

where might I find a list of all different icons on the different screens and there meanings?

Hello, Ran across your videos after purchasing a new Garmin Zumo XT. Very informative. Thank You. I got my iPhone,Zumo and Sena headset all set up and paired but I am having an intermitent problem with the XT recognizing the headset. The error states "No phone support since no headset connected". I have gone through the XT and it recognizes the Sena but will not connect. Then (say after a gas stop) and everything is shut down it will connect perfectly. I THINK I have tried all possibilities to trouble shoot but too no avail. I am thinking that there may be a certain order for powering up the Zumo, iPhone (11 Pro) and headset?? Just curious if you or anyone else has had this issue? Thanks again for the videos. Leaving on a long trip next week and I am already setting up the trip planner as you demonstrated. Thanks again to anyone with ideas for my problem.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I want to follow a route sent to me with coordinates as waypoints. Can you input coordinates as opposed to locations to make a route?

Just purchased the XT and the thing I find very frustrating is when I've set my route and then I decide to take a different road on the said route which will end up at the same destination, it won't re-route, but instead just keeps telling me to make a u turn, when I fully know the road I'm on will get to the same destination point. I'm I doing something wrong...

Hello Cruiseman....sorry about the bike....I just saw where Honda is discontinuing the Honda Trip Planner on May 31st. I guess it was being used enough.....

cruise man what year did they include outdoor temp on the desk top display? On the map on the lower left can you change speed to elevation? thanks

The planner was explained well and very essential to know to give individuality to trips- I am wondering after saving a trip and selecting Go or next will the route be shown as arrows and next turns as graphics and not text on the full screen? I don’t want to be reading route text just glances at arrows are best.

On my 2015 GW I have bluetooth dongle plugged into the auxiliary to receive music from my iPhone. Here's the problem I have when using the XT. I can connect iPhone to XT and XT to auxiliary/bluetooth and listen to music but the navigation still continues thru the external speaker on XT. I know it works at least when connected to my Sena 30 because I will receive navigation and music thru speakers in helmet. Any solution, the only thing I can think of would be maybe dongle out dated but it was purchased this year, so not sure. On my old Zuma I was able to plug jack into auxiliary and reciceve both, music and navigation thru GW speakers.

good Info! If you want to import a route from Basecamp can you still hook the XT to your PC using a provided cable? Thanks & it looks like a great GPS

Great tutorial! Any idea how many way points i can add to a trip? Does the ZUMO xt have a limit?

Hello. I still have this question about changing references along the planned trip. Let's say I'd like high from A to B, no highways from B to C, then Highway again from C to D... possible to set this way ?

How easy is it to reverse the destinations and the home location to return on the same trip?

Question for you Sir. Is their a way to plan a trip on the desktop computer e and then send it to the GPS ? Ether with Google maps or Waze. Or something like that ? Thanks.

And do we know how long one will last on a 2022 Goldwing? Expected life? Ok, these questions might be answered on Garmin site, I’ll have to check that. But seems like a better mousetrap than on the new bike. It shall wait a few months $$$

Hi. What does : closest enters point, means ???

Does the zumo 395 work the same as the XT?
