And the device guides you through downloading the Garmin Drive mobile app on your smartphone (required for traffic and weather information), connecting to Wi-Fi, and updating the maps and firmware. Setting up and mounting the zūmo XT is just about as painless as one can ask for. Life on the handlebars isn’t too much for the zūmo XT to handle either, given the IPX7 water resistance and a military-spec drop rating. This type of USB cable was surprising, given that the movement is solidly toward USB-C, but I would not need the USB cable too often as an included mount enables the navi to be hardwired into the bike’s electrical system. In the box with the zūmo XT are the instructions, a rubberized ball-mount system (compatible with RAM), electrical power cable, and mini-USB cable. Garmin’s motorcycle line has mostly concentrated on street, but their latest navi, the zūmo XT, has a few new features that make it more useful for adventure/DS riders off the tarmac. Garmin has long been the big fish in the pool of GPS, and their zūmo line of products has graced motorcycle handlebars for years.
