Garmin Zumo XT -- imp.i104546.net/5bd6OL
The Garmin zumo XT has some really nice features, but do you really need a separate unit. Why not just use your phone? Is having a separate GPS device worth $500? Today in the shop, we look at some of the reasons why we keep our phones in our pockets for long trips.

I prefer a device specifically designed for its job, i will use the phone as an emergency backup.

A cheap burner phone does a better job.

OC: I study google maps and memorize it, of course I come from the days where paper maps was the main tool. if I ever get lost, I consult the phone, but rarely do I use turn by turn navigation, I always turn off voice navigation when using phone navigation as I'll consult it when needed. I found that the more I use turn by turn navigation, the more i need it as I won't remember the route, if I go a route once without , I always remember that route.

Highly recommend the Garmin Zumo XT. I rode out to South Dakota, and I no longer had cell phone service, so I couldn't GPS it there with my cellphone. Luckily I bought a dedicated GPS unit, and I was able to continue my ride and navigate.

Honestly, I hate that so much of life is dependent on the stupid smart phone. Anything to reduce dependency on that device I'm all for it.

I used just my phone for a while, but after getting the Zumo XT, I really love it, especially the adventurous routing feature. When I am up in the mountains and am ready to head home in no hurry, I crank it up, update the settings to allow dirt roads and see where it takes me. It's been a really cool way to find new roads.

Do you realise you have your cap on backwards?

The only reason I put the XT on my GS is if god forbid the bike goes left and I go right, I have a cell phone in my pocket for help.

@anneambrose4840

I destroyed 3 iphone cameras shock mounted on a motorcycle. Apple came out and said not to use them on motorcycles. Maybe they've addressed the problem.

OC: I've been using the Zumo XT for the last 4 months. No issues so far with the unit or any features. Pairing with phone and Cardo is seamless. Definitely recommend for anyone in the market for a dedicated GPS.

@TomasBrunclik-tk2ri

I once was considering the Zumo XT and I almost bought it but after reading a lot of discussions and reviews I decited to buy a cheap used 150$ rugged Samsung smartphone to work as my GPS. Its waterproof, shockproof, light and pretty versatile, since I can chose from a really wide variety of map apps which can work offline. Meanwhile my expensive iphone is safely hidden in my chest pocket. I use Google maps for on-road navigating and Locus map for offroad(adv) riding. This setup showed to work really nice for me and I saved a lot of money.

@whitedrguy6503 Год назад

Cheaper just to buy a cheap phone with off line maps and use a paper map to plot a route then just use the off line maps to tell you where you are.

With my zumo I have ridden in the rain, dust, and on hot days which would make my phone shut down, sometimes it’s just nice to use a dedicated piece of hardware. I’ve had no troubles with mine, though the main issue is that I find myself checking it when I should be paying attention to the road.

@djkak5320 Год назад

I run a Zumo XT. When I’m planning rides through places like TN and the Carolinas, every turn throughout each day is pre-planned. I’ve been using Garmin BaseCamp for years to plan my rides; it’s free and it is amazing.

I started having a look at gps units yesterday and this one stood out. Looks awesome!

@timothyholtjr.8600 Год назад

OC thanks for the informative video!! Much appreciated and safe travels

@getrollin2471 Год назад

Great Video! I've have the the Touratech mount for the Zumo XT on my Tiger 800 XCa and highly recommend it.

@sandtiger47620 Год назад

OC: I still use my phone, Waze and Highway Radar for those times when I am going to do some more

@GrumpyGoat Год назад

Great video review. Direct and to the point, and a practical discussion of why a good dedicated standalone GPS should be considered instead of using a phone as a GPS - I feel exactly the same way regarding potential loss of the phone vs a GPS.
