Received a free brandnew Zumo XT in the mail about a month ago, took a while to find out where it came from but it was from one of my brothers.
Finally got around to mounting it on my Goldwing a couple days ago. Took it for a test ride yesterday and wow the XT screen is by far the best GPS screen I’ve ever seen !
I’ve never tried portrait mode but I will but suspect the keyboard will be much smaller so probably won’t like it.
So far my only complaint about it is the external speaker should be much louder.
My old GPS is the way over priced Zumo 595, and it has the worst screen I have ever seen on a GPS. Before the 595 I used a Nuvi 1450 for over 300,000 miles but got tired of messing with plastic bags every time it rained, the screen on the 1450 was faaaar superior to the 595 but the XT is even better.
Garmin tech needs to wake up and realize many folks want a louder external speaker and not have to spend hundreds of dollars for Bluetooth.
