Thanks All sorted now. I had attached the power lead upside down

Hi, Edit: [size=2px]All sorted now. I had attached the power lead upside down.[/size] My adapter arrived today from https://www.adapter3dmotorrad.com/en/product/e-nav-xt-rt/ [/color][/font] so I tried to fit it to my new Zumo XT Whilst I can't rule out that I'm an idiot, I'm wondering if Garmin may ...

What do I have? It's a 2018 R1200RT


Just so I know if discussions or replies are relevant


Thanks

Quick tip - Google Translate will convert printed text in other languages to English (for instance) using the camera and some sort of magic.

Thanks for all the help. I've had several hours playing with Basecamp but it still seems more complex and less intuituve than what I would expect. I've had a play with MyRouteApp and I think I'm going to use that instead. It seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, particularly the quick switch to...

Shame you're so far! if you had being really stuck I could have helped you out with a temp solution and lent you a mount Thanks so much.

After reading a number of comments I've ordered a Zumo XT, on the understanding that I would get a mount from the Italian place - this one: https://www.adapter3dmotorrad.com/en/product/e-nav-xt-rt/ - to take care of power needs etc. The Zumo is now on its way to me but unfortunately the 3d Mounts ar...
