I recently picked up a Garmin XT.  Updated the maps with Garmin Express.  

Launched Basecamp, it recognized the XT and locked up.  Found a solution on Garmin's forum for basecamp.  In file explorer locate the POI file on the internal storage drive of the XT.  Delete the "USCanadaCyclopsSample.gpi" file.  Restart Basecamp and it will launch just fine after that.

 
Much brighter screen. Think like cell phone bright.  So far I like it. Working through Bluetooth issues to get it to communicate with the gold wing via Sena.  
 

My only knock, why Garmin didn’t at least have speaker and mic ports I don’t understand. 

 
I just got my new XT and all the pairing with phone and Sena says it worked but I don't get the traffic directions via the Bluetooth. The music in the XT transmits just fine but the driving directions don't. they play out of the little speaker on the unit but that sucks with ear plugs. Thoughts???

I'm reasonably sure it's simple but my simple mind can't seem to get it.
