Review of the Garmin Zumo XT GPS

Are you thinking about pulling the trigger on a GPS unit for your bike? In the video I provide a detailed breakdown of the features on Garmin's ZUmo XT GPS unit and whether I think it's worth their $500 asking price.

I bought it 2 weeks ago to replace my 10 years old Navigator lV. Not comparable it’s so much better. The screen is so bright and made of glass (I use a glass protector 9h) and it’s reactive almost like my iPhone. I did a lot of research to find a way to plan a route using Google my maps I now I just love it!

This guys got great content, wish there was more

BTW your riding in helmet audio sounds pretty solid!

[@ridingwithrusso7790]

Thanks, about time I got that sorted. Different helmet helped.

[@jonathanart1992]

I get a question for you, what product do you recommend to maintenance the DRZ so clean and shiny?

[@furyroad7565]

Awesome video sir 👍

[@ridingwithrusso7790]

Thanks man!

Does the Zumo XT have a accessibility feature for adjust Text size for street Names and other text elements on main map screen? Thanks. Kam

[@ridingwithrusso7790]

Thanks for watching! I checked the settings and best I can tell the map font size can not be changed. It is a bit small. I would say if I were doing lots of traveling and touring I would go with a helmet with Bluetooth speakers to hear the turn by turn.

Very nice vid! Honest question, why go with this over just using your phone for GPS and an app like WAZE? Inquisitive minds 😊

[@ridingwithrusso7790]

Thank you! Good question about the phone, I should have made a point of that in the video. I had a Quad Lock case mounting my phone but the vibration from the bike destroyed the phone’s camera. Supposedly Quad Lock sells an anti vibration accessory but I didn’t want to risk it with my repaired phone.

@@ridingwithrusso7790 Gotcha totally understand that! I have a quad lock and that always makes me nervous. Thanks for the info :) Keep us posted on how you like using the larger GPS!

If your phone is connected to the GPS, playing music, and you have headphones plugged in to the phone, does the music play though the wired headphones? My intent would be to use this GPS to control the music/volume to the headphones plugged in to my Iphone. I would not be using bluetooth headphones.

[@michel2641234]

You probably know now, if you want to use your wired head phone connected to your phone you will have to play the music on your phone not on the GPS

I’ve been debating on buying this but it is expensive

[@ridingwithrusso7790]

Overall I’m happy with it now after having it awhile but it’s definitely a luxury. At $500 I think it’s overpriced, if you find it for $350, it’s worth it. Thanks for watching!

[@jesseonamotorcycle]

@@ridingwithrusso7790 just purchased it for 500 🫤

[@michel2641234]

I bought it 2 weeks ago it was on special 460$ instead of 670$ (Canadian $ l’m living in Quebec). Don’t forget the support is included! I paid about the same price 10 years ago for my old Navigator lV !!! If you can get it around 400$us don’t hesitate cause it worth it!
