How to stop your SatNav falling off your Windshield / Windscreen
How does that cover protect the POGO pins from the outside elements (rain, moisture, etc)? The cover that Garmin offered with previous GPS units had a rubber gasket to protect the pins. How does this cover protect the pins? Can you use the included GPS rubber pin protector with this cover?
@@lqqkout4thedude it forms a seal the same way as the device does when you mount it. I can't see any way water could get in unless you immersed it in water. You can't use the rubber cap with the pin protector as there isn't enough room for it.
@@JosephByrne There must be a reason why Garmin used a seal in their cover that they offered on prior (Zumo 595) models.
@@lqqkout4thedude probably belt and braces. The Zumo XT and XT2 devices don't have a rubber gasket so they are relying on the plastic to plastic seal to protect the pins which is the same approach as the 3D printed pin cover.
@@JosephByrne Are you sure? On the back of my Zumo XT2, there is an orange/red colored area around the back of the unit. Not exactly sure what this is, but it sure isn't the same black color as the rest of the plastic. What is that orange/red colored area? What is it's purpose?
@@lqqkout4thedude you'd need to contact Garmin.
I have a rocket 3 which has a 12v charging port near the headlight...can you completely remove the power cable from the support bracket and just charge from the usb port.
You can do that if you want to. The power cable doesn't influence how the device snaps in place. You could leave the power cable in place and just don't connect it either. The disadvantage of powering over USB is that connection is not waterproof.
Xt2 needs 12v. Usb provides only 5v
@@bnordin66able No. It will work using 5V. That's why you can use it with an XT1 mount and power cable or using a USBC cable and car adaptor that comes with the car kit.
Hi Joseph, Have always found your videos very clear and extremely helpful, I have a question for you? In your past videos you have used a Garmin XT, well I’ve just purchased one today and I’m having trouble getting Basecamp on my Apple Mac to connect with it? Just doesn’t seem to see the unit at all? My old 660 connects no problem. It will connect to Garmin Express fine, but Basecamp just doesn’t see it at all, have you any idea what the problem could be? Many thanks if you could help.
@@1956colinb possibly an issue with the USB port or cable. If you are using a port replicator try connecting directly to the Mac and also try a different cable.
@@JosephByrne Hi Joseph, thanks for the reply, I’ve tried those and done a bit of research and it seems that the XT unit has basically an Android operating system and won’t connect to Apple devices? I’m absolutely puzzled why Garmin doesn’t make this obvious in their sales literature?
@@1956colinb That's strange. Are you using an XT or a XT2? I connected my XT to a Mac lots of times and made videos using it. I've not tried with the XT2 yet.
@@JosephByrne It’s an XT, a lot of the forums mention this connection problem, unfortunately I’ve just discovered it after I’ve bought the XT 🤷🏻♂️
@@1956colinb that is strange. If you can try someone else's Mac that would be useful as I've done loads on Mac with that device and it all worked pretty well.
I bought a map off ebay for my dezl OTR500 Garmin device. The instructions indicated that I am to place the .img file in the Garmin folder of an 8gb sd card, place the card in the device and start it up. It is then suppose to boot to the sd card and load the newly purchased map. It does not. It still loads the original map on the device with no option to access the new map anywhere. Do you have a possible solution for me?

Excellent video ! ! ! Accurate directions and to the point. No BS just good accurate information! Thank you for the warning regarding the valve stems!
Thanks for the feedback.
Plain sailing thanks to you
Thanks for the feedback.
👍
Hi Joseph, As usual your videos are a great help to me as I find your instructions clear and concise. Much appreciated. I was following along without any problem until I attempted to pair my XT2 to my (old) Sena 10U communication device. Following the instructions in the Sena's manual for pairing , I do get it to a voice prompt for pairing; but when I then press the XT2 pairing, it responds "No headsets were found". Any assistance or thoughts you may have would be appreciated. Cheers from Canada.
@@tr1umphrider That's strange. Maybe it doesn't recognise it as a headset. You could try pairing it from one side. I used to do that with old phones. Like have the headset search for the Zumo and follow the procedure on the headset only. Or try the opposite and follow on the Zumo side only. Maybe that will work. It's just a guess though.
@@JosephByrne Thanks for the quick response and your suggestions. It is a puzzle at the moment. Looking forward to more of your videos. Cheers
Whats your solution for trip planning now basecamp isnt compatible with the xt2
I haven't figured that out yet but I will do soon and post how to do it.
@@JosephByrne thanks look forward to it
Nice to see you back again
Thanks. I'll try and upload more regularly. I was working on some industry exams and some other things that are mostly out of the way now.
I’m hooking up mine now, first installation was on my Silverwing with a cigarette lighter connection, but I now want to hard wire it to the battery of my TW200.. you’re saying that once the unit is removed from the cradle there is ZERO battery draw? I would expect the converter box to drain a bit just keeping itself alive…. thanks for a great vid!
Pretty much zero. I've not had any issues over the past few years. Purists from my motorcycle club wire it to a switched live or add an extra relay, but I've always hard wired.
Can my garmin use all my saved tracks And create a route if I say home to a waypoint I have saved. Use multiple tracks to get where I want to go automatically without drawing it out on base camp.
Is their a way for me to download the update and put it on my laptop and then transfere the update onto the garmin
No. It has to be done directly from the Internet.
Very good content, thank you. I am currently struggling to get Basecamp to recognise my Zumo XT2 device - any advice would be most welcome.
Awesome video, thankyou
Anytime Stephen. Thanks.
Made it so much easier as the Garmin instructions are frankly rubbish
Thank you for your help
Anytime.
You could have cut this chain quicker if pressured grinding more
Great idea, just done this with my XT2, works brilliantly... however... Has anyone found a workaround for the crappy onboard speaker? External speaker? Bluetooth? thoughts?...
Bluetooth is your only option really. If you Bluetooth to your car you'll get the the instructions through your speakers but then you won't be able to play music. It's a shame the speaker isn't louder, my phone speaker is better. The Zumo 550 had a pretty decent speaker built into the cradle. I've got the Latest Zumo but I've not got it out of the box yet to test if it's louder.
@@JosephByrne totally agree. LM595 car mount had an external speaker with volume and sound being OK. The wifes Garmin Drivesmart 76 actually has good sound / mic performance. So Garmin CAN make this happen when they want to... I understand Garmin had to use a waterproof mylar speaker on the bike gps, and the tradeoff is sound quality. But i think we would all pay more for a powered base with a speaker and mic for dedicated car use? (they would prefer to sell us anohter gps for our car...) The requirements for the car kit are not that different to a helmet bluetooth. I have read that the car handsfree needs to use the correct handsfree protocol. It appears this is not that common? Could also be internet fud? I am about to go down the aliexpress rabit hole of cheap-arse car handsfree kits to see if i can get this premium XT2 GPS to do a basic requirement. No wonder BMW Motorrad dumped them Disapointed... again... Garmin.
👏 thank you for this, I'm looking forward to changing this out seamlessly between a CB500x and an NA Miata!
No worries. After having powered cradles with the previous 3 models there was no way I was going back to messing around with cables. The solution works great. I've been using it regularly since I made this video 3 years ago.
Sorry, but as a Brit, I wondered if any American viewers were bemused by you calling 68 degrees outside as "hot"
A few called that out in the comments. I'd be happy with 20 degrees and 12 hours without rain just now.
NO PHILIPPINE MAPS
Nice vid and saved as my Zumo is in the post, do you know if I can pair a headset at a later date as the one I’ve ordered is on back order and won’t be here when the Zumo arrives
Yes you can pair whenever you want. Just go to Bluetooth, add device. The setup wizard just helps make it easier the first time you power up.
I have NO idfea how you will ever get a GPS unit to work on Basecamp in MAC, it is 100% impossible to do. There is no direct USB C to mini printer USB cable that works. Using a USB C adapter to USB A will make it work in Garmin Express which is good for ??? I have still no idea. But it will not show up in basecamp. If anyone have made a Garmin XT work with basecamp on a MAC with only USB C ports, please share a solution
How to join Routes, with different directions.
Well, it's 2024. There's only one map available for Europe (City Navigator Europe NTU) for 89,99€!!! What the hell happened??
Very good video. Loved the idea of using a marker on those parts.
Can't get mine to go off demo mode so no bluetooth.....
Hi, great video. Question: I like to purchase the Asia map, but when I click on Asia the Middle East map comes up. On your video it shows 4 Asian maps on mine just 1 map, can you help
It will not affect to the motorcycle battery?
I've not had an issue in 3 years of use.
Thank you so much, Garmin should have paid you for this incredibly well done job.
Omg pls don’t lie to people … press more .. I cut the 22 mm in 20 seconds one side and another 20 second the other side … just press and u see how u cut it ..( u done good marketing) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So post a video. Use your phone to film it. It'll take less than a minute.
Hi Need Help I have purchased Europe maps from garmin followed all the steps and download completed .disconnected the device turn on but no Europe maps !( the SD card is 32GB ) can you help ?? regards D
That's strange. What happens if you specify a country in Europe when setting a destination.
@@JosephByrne cannot calculate
Sorted problem was with the formatting the Sd card before installation. you need to make sure on the mac that you choose the correct option for formatting needs to be fat 32 regards D@@JosephByrne
Why all this can’t be done on a smartphone and use Wi-Fi ???? Who carries computers these days
This video is 8 years old. The latest Garmin devices are WiFi enabled so can be updated directly and don't require a smart phone. Also ease up on the excessive punctuation.
Zumo 590 was utter garbage, audio output circuit was factory faulted as it went bad on most units without a way to repair it (some issue with motherboard inside the unit)...
I had no issues in 10,000 all weather miles. Garmin are also great with their warranties. I've had a 550 replaced and 2 cradles that failed.
@@JosephByrne Most of the users don't use media player on 590 at all as it's a bike satnav and they're happy with silent mode but in a few years, warranty expires and then it's too late. Factory reset helps in some software based glitches. Factory battery was flawed as well, wasn't holding a charge... there's plenty reports web wide. I'm glad it worked for you. You were lucky!
@@Helloverlord everyone I know used the audio. The battery will lose performance after about a year typically because it doesn't cycle properly as the device is almost permanently connected to power. Replacement batteries are cheap and effective. During the period I had the 590LM I rarely had software issues and I used it in the UK, Europe and the US. I miss having the option of wired audio which the XT doesn't have.
I’ll stick with google maps it’s never let me down and it costs nothing also it updates regularly
Good luck if you go anywhere remote. Google maps is fine for built up areas but outside of that the quality declines.
Thanks!
Anytime. Thank you for the feedback.
Your demo was exceptional. And London was great to see. But, what happens if after you do all this custom work, download to the device and headout on your ride and decide to go off route? Your last route was great for riding, but I noticed a few locations along the route that would have been fun to explore without loosing your way to the final destination based on your custom route. Also, I imagine you can create several different custom routes of the same begin n end point and store them accordingly. Finally, do you use a micro SD storage device? If so, do you have a demo on that? Thanks again, happy safe riding in UK..
So if you go off route the device will keep harassing you to get back onto the route. The best thing to do in that case is to stop the route, then ride off piste for a bit then when you want to get back on the route again, relaunch it and choose, "closest point of entry," as the start point. Saving routes to the SD card is easy, it appears in Basecamp as a location you can save to. I normally save to the decice though. You can absolutely create multiple custom routes with the same start end end points in Basecamp. Then you can do useful things like join them together in Basecamp to create a new combined route.
Great video and very helpful. I am trying to use this with my Garmin Overlander which does not have Trip Planner. How do I get it into the Overlander?
Thank you so much, I finally got it to work on my Garmin 390 after watching your video. This is such a a brilliant way of planning trips on Google Maps, much easier than trying to do it in the Garmin app.
Thanks. Great feedback.
Hello, I downloaded garmin express but all I’m trying to do is sync my garmin to my MacBook so I can edit my messages. Do you know how I go about doing this?

Thanks for the feedback.
Bit more useful test would be trying with it loose on concrete as this would be the most “ideal” situation that a theif would ever encounter. Obviously suspended in air even more difficult but flat on the ground would be the best possible for a theif so why not test that
Because it's dangerous. Our test was ok but their is a more skilled operator on RUclips who cut an Almax Series 5 on the floor in under 90 seconds. If you search you can find that. He'd destroy this chain in 30 seconds I think. The Oxford Boss can also be cropped. I wouldn't use it as your primary device.
@@JosephByrne The almax 5 is 22m so too heavy to carry on my bike and 3 times the price. The 12mm is the most I want to carry with me so better than not locking at all which I'd have to do with an almax that would have to stay at home
@@jamie123b Buy some Xena alarmed disk locks. If you have two, one for the front and one for the rear disks your bike will be fairly well protected. They are easy to carry and fairly light.
@@JosephByrne I was going to get an Oxford Screamer 7 disc lock for the front wheel. Is that as good as the xena?
@@jamie123b I don't know to be honest. It looks like a similar design.
Thank you so much. I was struggling with Basecamp and hated buying a Montana. Your video has made things a lot more clearer. Are you still using Basecamp or have you moved on to another programme to plot routes which maybe a little more up to date than BC. Also can you tutorial for something like Garmin explore or similar to plot routes and sync whilst not near a pc.
Thanks for the feedback. I want to make some videos on Garmin Explore but I have some other projects to finish first.
Brilliant. Great introduction to the basics of Basecamp. 👍
Thanks for the feedback.
