Garmin zūmo® XT2 All-Terrain Motorcycle Navigator, Ultrabright 6″ Sunlight Readable Display, Visual Route Planner, and Ride Summaries

This is a good GPS unit.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:During long motorcycle rides you will find yourself in “cell phone free zones”- no cell service.  Just buy this as a  dedicated waterproof motorcycle GPS and you will not have to worry about downloading maps to your phone, or your phone overheating or getting too cold and shutting down. I have the XT GPS on my one motor and bought this one for my new motorcycle.  The XT2 has a little bigger screen and comes with a mount in the box!  Who knew?  I bought a similar mount, mounted it on the motorcycle and then opened the XT2 box and found the same style mount.   This XT2 GPS has been accurate and brightness very visible in the daylight.    I have not had a ride with it at night so far.  The touchscreen feature works with a gloved finger.  I actually bought this unit while Amazon had a sale price going on.  Although everything is getting expensive these days, the fact that I don’t have to use my phone for my GPS unit makes this unit worth the money to me.   

Love my new Garmin Zumo XT2!
This high resolution unit is easily readable in the direct sunlight and can be dialed down as needed. There are so many amazing features that I am still learning. Easy to install. Make sure to hard wire the power to your battery so it does not turn off with the ignition. It also comes with various handle bar mounts for different configurations.

Inexcusable Failure for a Device Designed for Adventure Travel – Unreliable while traveling.
Garbage! I’m on my second Garmin Zumo XT2. The first unit began an “update” that never completed—days of being unusable. I returned it and received a replacement.Now I’m on day 3 of a two-week motorcycle ride, and this second unit is also failing. Today it repeatedly flashed—screen dimming to the point of being nearly black and unreadable, even though it was still technically on. I could barely make out the screen, rendering it useless while riding.I reached out to support. Their only solution? Send it back (again). I can either:1. Ship mine first and wait for them to send a new one after they receive it, or2. Put down a $360 deposit to get a replacement shipped in 1–3 days—then get the deposit refunded after returning the broken unit.Sounds reasonable until you realize I’m on the road and can’t sit still in one place for 2–5 days waiting on a delivery. Garmin refuses to ship to my next destination or guarantee expedited delivery to a future stop. No voucher. No workaround. No real help. Just “sorry, we can’t.”These devices are supposed to be built for travelers, yet Garmin’s support model completely fails those who are actively traveling.And this thing isn’t cheap. At this price point, you expect premium performance and reliability—not to be stranded with a malfunctioning unit and no real-time support options. Garmin is charging a premium and delivering a lemon.Also worth noting: the Tread app is a disaster, and discontinuing BaseCamp was a monumental misstep. Stripping away BaseCamp’s route planning in favor of the clunky and unstable Tread app represents a massive regression in Garmin’s software ecosystem.Verdict: Don’t waste your money. This unit—and Garmin’s support structure—simply cannot be trusted when you need it most.

Expensive, but worth it!
Ok, I did my research before purchasing the Garmin Zumo XT2. I have a 2022 BMW R1250RT motorcycle and the the stock BMW Ride Connected app is a disaster, in my opinion. It uses your smartphone and the app for navigation, but when navigating in hot weather it overheats your phone to the point your phone shuts down navigation. Not good when in unfamiliar territory. It is also constantly glitchy. Enter the XT2, it solves all of the problems I’ve had with BMW system. The large screen is excellent in all light conditions and the interface is typical Garmin, which is a good thing. Another awesome thing is it pairs with my Sena 50R helmet communicator. I can take calls, get navigation directions and listen to music without having to worry about it overheating. It stays connected and I have had no glitches. It just works. I have not utilized route planning yet, but I don’t anticipate any issues. I am very happy with it overall. The only thing I marked it down one star for is that it is slow to display my music at initial startup, as it searches for a bit depending on how many songs you have loaded the micro SD card. All in all the best option out there for my application. In addition, there are plenty of mounting options out there for motorcycles.

FACIL DE CONFIGURAR E INSTALAR, LO RECOMIENDO AMPLIAMENTE.
