So yesterday I left home at 3pm in the rain and 45 degrees, at 1am I arrived in Kansas City and checked into a motel, a nice long hot shower warmed me up. I had updated the Zumo XT about a month ago and after the update that little red indicator that always points north had disappeared, I had called Garmin tech about it but the person I talked to wasn’t much help but since I was so close to their headquarters I decided to take a ride over there, wow the place is HUGE ! They used to do tours but because of COVID-19 they don’t do them right now, I definitely would like to tour the place someday.
So I find the service department and they actually had a Zumo XT like mine on display and on that unit the little red north indicator was there and working fine. So I walk up to the service counter and tell two guys working there about my issue, at first one of them was trying to tell me there never was an indicator like that on the XT but the other guy said there was and he was going to show me how to get it back, so after a lot of monkeying around they couldn’t get it back so they make some phone calls and find out that little indicator was removed intentionally in the last update, they have had a few complaints but unless a lot more folks complain it will most likely never come back.
Also updated my Zumo 595 the same day and that little red direction indicator is still working fine.
