I tried to give a good idea as to how to use the Zumo in this video. Its not cheap to buy, so have a look at the video if you are thinking of buying one.
UPDATE: Towards the end I say that the smart messages/e mails weren't being sent to the Zumo and that I wasn't certain if this was a setting issue on my iPhone 11. It was! Under settings/Mail/notifications i hadn't allowed notifications to all of my e mail addresses.
Also see
Part 1=why i chose the Zumo XT • Garmin Zumo XT Part 1
Part 2=How to set the Zumo XT up, headset/iphone etc • Garmin Zumo XT Part 2
Check out this video for how I installed a dedicated switchable power supply to the XT on my Africa Twin • Garmin Zumo XT switche...
Lots of videos of people just poking buttons on other Zumo's which doesn't show a great deal, so i tried to do a video that made some form of sense to any prospective purchasers!

Hi from Ireland,I got myself a zumo XT for my V-strom XT.I have watched your 3 videos many times,they are very well made,thank you for taking the time to make them.At the moment due to bad weather i am spending more time playing with the Zumo on the Kitchen table than I am spending riding.You mentioned you didn,t get a lock for the mount yet,I made one myself in my garage,it,s by no means bullet proof but its ideal when just popping in to pay for fuel etc.I cost nothing to make,you can release the zumo in a second with a small wire (when you know how),it cannot be seen when the zumo is mounted..Looking forward to more videos and maybe some photos of Jersey,I spent 2 weeks there in 1991,St John,s road,St Helier

1:55 Track recorder allows one to record (obviously) and save a very specific route which might not involve the use of a road. Tracks are mostly used by off road adventure riders who ride on unpaved, undesignated trails or even in the absence of a trail all together. One can also record a paved, but unknown scenic route which is worth the while. The saved route (track) can then be shared with other friends who might be interested in following that same track as is for instance the (TET) Trans European Trail which is solely based on tracks. The key difference between a route and a track is the way the GPS handles either or. When following a route from point A to point B, if one deviates (for example if one misses an exit) from the suggested optimum route, the GPS device will automatically reroute itself in order to get the driver to his intended destination regardless of how many deviations may occur. When following a track, (which has multiple specific waypoints) if one deviates from that track, the GPS device will not reroute the driver who will have to get back on track on his own means, if he so wishes to. Very handy when riding off the beaten path and need to follow a very specific route in order to reach a desired destination, which may be a spot on this planet which is not connected by any road or trail. I think Mr. Sven Olsen does a great job in explaining the differences, but also demonstrating how to plan a track in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLKHha1inNS5qH0.html

I have put 150 songs in the internal memory and I don't want to use up all the internal memory. I wish there was a written manual for the Zumo XT that would explain things more thoroughly. I'm very grateful for these KZfaq videos. Please let me know how to play mp3 files from sd card.

Hi and many thanks. Its really difficult to work out how to put the video together, what to show/include etc . There are lots of videos out there on the Zumo's which don't show much at all really....just a view of the device mounted on the bike some distance from the camera and lots of talking and button pushing. These videos take ages to put together and those who give it a thumbs down....well i just wish they would go and make one themselves. I don't think you will be disappointed with it. I did look at the TomTom 550 but am glad i went for this unit. Its brilliant(in my humble opinion !) and i love the way you can access fuel stops very quickly . I will also use it in my motorhome. Like all these things you have to sit there and just play with the bloody thing to see what it can do, with a little bit of help from a youtube video of course! ride safe.

Thanks . The Sena is in my opinion light rain proof . It’s been in a few days of heavy rain with no problems . The only thing that may be an issue for corrosion when wet would be the metal contacts between the unit and helmet mounting bracket. Pretty good little unit . Jacket is the Oxford mondial . Very good and about £190 👍

Birds eye view is kind of a redundant, or not well thought out feature, given that most people nowadays have a smartphone with a wifi connection. Quickly checking one's surroundings in google maps on the smartphone is much quicker and simpler that going through the hassle of downloading a birds eye map segment.

Hi . Just been into my garage and the answer is yes . Played via my iPhone 11 with my senna headest . You have to start playing via the phone which then throws the album art up onto the zumo screen and you can scroll through the music you have selected . Don’t think you can search for genres though you have to do all selecting via your phone but can scroll pause etc via the zumo xt. There is no Spotify app . So yes you can play Spotify and control it (limited) via zumo head unit .

I would have to assume your issue with information not always sent to you GPS is due to the Garmin being an android device and your phone not. The android device is a Motorola device and the satellites/towers are Motorola. So it makes sense the best performance would be using an android (Motorola) phone with the Garmin android (Motorola) GPS operating off of Motorola satellites/towers.

I’ve had a quick look. I don’t know if you can but from the scenic locations if you go into the edit part of the location it gives you the latitude and longitude, so I guess you could manually enter these coordinates as a favourite in the zumo ! Guido who runs the scenic app is very good and he may be able to give you a definitive answer if you send him a message 🤞

Hi . I’ve just had a quick look at my Zumo . Green flag is your start location , not sure about Blue flag ? Blue spot maybe , this is a shaping point where if you just enter a start and finish point , garmin works out a route and if you want to go a different way then you can “shape” the route and force it to go that way , all done on the zumo xt. This blue dot can then be selected and it changes into an orange flag , which will be announced to you ..... the blue dots , I think are not announced . Hope this helps . Like all these things you have to sit at home and just play with it ! Ride safe😁

Then it will simply recalculate and change it to an orange flag . Cruiseman on KZfaq with his gold wings etc has good stuff too on all this .

Hi thanks yes it can ! Go to “settings” , “map and vehicle”, then “map layers” then scroll down to “map layers“then down to “up ahead places” and make sure this box is ticked . The arrow to the right select this and then you can tap on any of the three(?) pre selected items..... this will then allow you access to all of the things you can have displayed on the map , 3 is the maximum that you can have . I have petrol stations , restaurants and motorcycle locations . Then select save and these choses will always show on the main map . When you go back to the main map and select up ahead from the sub menu bottom right with 3 small dots you will see that the up ahead now has the selections that you have just made . Hope this helps 😃
