I use this for both off-road and on-road. It's a great GPS and the ability to load music is an added bonus for when you're in remote locations. Uploading maps and syncing across all devices is a breeze.

Not really impressed
Screen has gone black and staid that way several times…. Takes too long to find its own self when you turn it on…. Has trouble searching for an address… it’s a weak backup for navigating with my iphone… has many nice useless features … try doing one thing right.. navigation… everyone has a phone for the rest

Zumo XT
Been running it for a couple years now. I often travel out of state, or at least out of my normal range, so it’s navigation features are welcome. Often when running with a favorite ridding partner we search for “squiggle line roads” to explore. On interstate running it’s handy to run roads less used for less congestion, lower speeds and the opportunity to “smell the roses”. Wonderful when passing through “small town America” seeing scenic places and meeting warm and compassionate locals. At my a...

Great! Except for one big issue
I love the GPS but I’m already looking at replacing it with something else. With what I don’t know but the fact that Garmin didn’t include support for their TPMS sensors boggles my mind. Maybe an update can fix it but come on Garmin! Isn’t this supposed to be a top tier product? Fix that problem and I’ll be a happy XT user willing to give it 4-5 stars. I will also say the interface with the phone and helmet coms is still a little clunky and buggy. But the TPMS issue is the proverbial straw for m...

Man this thing is awesome
I have had my Zumo XT now for about 3 years and I love it glad I bought it

Loved screen but the mount is not secure
I had this on my GS behind a windscreen. Unfortunately the device came off from the mount and was trashed when it fell onto the ground (highway speed). Be careful with the mount

No easy interface software.
Why can't garmin make a product that integrates with an app. If you have this, you will go through many many steps to try to load a route......to which point it won't. Google maps is answer.

Improved thru the Years
This zumo XT replaced a 10+year old unit. Though the old unit worked well, the newer one is significantly improved. Screen visibility in all light levels is great as well as the Bluetooth connectivity.

Great GPS product!
I've had it for a couple of years now, used only for motorcycle riding. Very happy with the purchase. It gives me concise information in a precise configuration that is easy to read. Would highly recommend!

Essential gear for adventure motorcycle riding
I've owned an XT for over 2 years, bought it after I bought a 2021 Triumph Tiger Rally Pro - which has a proprietary on-board navigation. Like many on-board systems, it is essently useless for off-road navigation. The XT is easy to use, large, bright, and rugged. I still haven't used all its features. The only downside to the XT is that Garmin support software products for trip planning are not very Apple-verse friendly, despite the 2 billion Apple product users worldwide, and Garmin needs to im...

Accurate & Feature Rich
I have used my Zumo XT in all of N. America and it has worked flawlessly. My trips to Mexico are as finite as I want them to be.

Great GPS
I’ve been using this without pre planning and it is so easy to program last minute, easy to follow entries. My friend was amazed how easy to program and said he has to get one and I suggested the XT2 with the 6 inch screen.

Love my Zumo XT
Love my Zumo XT. Works awesome. Bright screen. Works with riding gloves. Only complaint is it came loose from its base once and when it hit the dirt road the screen got scratched. 99pecent of the time the base holds it secure. I guess I should have a tether on it!
From Garmin
easy to use menus practical options
the size of the screen is perfect and all the menu options are intuitive very easy to navigate. asks you if you made a fuel stop after power down and power up to reset the fuel usage very nice option. one problem i have found using this for riding my adventure bike is that it will not route you off the pavement through forest service roads or no name roads even though they are clearly visible on the map. this makes it hard to get distances when on the back roads. seems odd for a device marketed...

Zumo XT
It’s rugged . Screen size is good. Brightness and contrast good in bright sunlight. Touch screen works well with gloves. Garmin’s customer interface is behind the times. Phone apps like Gaia are easier to use and read the detail of tracks better

works great but has 1 bad problem
When following a route that I made on base camp it sometimes changes route. The real problem is it has me do u-turns or go out of my way to go back to waypoint that I already passed. I figured out how to go pass this by touching turn and hitting GO to next waypoint.

My first gps that is useful in daylight.
I’ve had a handful of gps’s over the years and the XT is the first one that I can actually see when the sun is behind me. All of the other ones were useless in that situation. And I feel that I have only tapped about 20% of the power of the XT. I’d like to take a class on the capabilities of the XT.

Amazing upgrade!
I updated from an older Garmin zumo last year to the XT and could not be more happy with the new device. Upgraded screen is so much better and easier to see during the day. The greater ease in building a route to group curvy roads together is also so much easier on the new device. Very happy I made the upgrade.

Its a Garmin
I bought this unit for my Tenere 700, and for the most part, it seems to be working well. The main criticism I have of it is that it is operating with the same deficit of older garmins I have had in the past - it is the Garmin code and user interface. It is just a bit of a pain to enter data, look for addresses, etc. As an example, I have my phone also mounted on my bike, and use both a phone GPS program and the garmin side-by-side - and when it comes to navigation to an address - or searchin...
