BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I make it a rule never to answer/make calls when riding. I have a Packtalk Bold and the phone is set up with the TFT and will show me who is calling.
I can always stop and call the number back, my wife for example, will only call me when she knows I'm on the bike if it is VERY important.

Was hoping to make it this year, but it looks like it clashes with me leading a group back from Colditz/Buchenwald unfortunately.I'll keep watching in case anything changes.

David,I had the issue of the maps not fitting on the device some time ago so installed a SD card and put them all on that. Now it just replaces them on the card although from memory I think GE gives me the option of changing the region. I don't bother, I use the card for maps and store my music on t...

David, Been putting full EU maps on SD card for some time now. I took some friends to visit Colditz/Dresden a few years ago, and quickly 'popped' across the Czech border as another country visited. Unfortunately I didn't have the right maps at that point and fell off the edge of the world.......... ...

2022.10 was the one I was trying to install. However, decided to have one more go. Re-installed maps to the 660 (they were ok anyway),then tried to install maps to my laptop exactly as I did probably 15 other times.  Eureka!!! for some unknown reason the 2022.10 maps installed on the laptop...

Hi David
Full EU still on SD card.Map Product Manager shows them as locked with a button to unlock online, which when selected takes you to the Garmin site. However that fuction doesn't exist now according to Garmin??

New 2022.10 maps downloaded onto Zumo 660 without issue. However, cannot get them onto my laptop despite never having any issues before. It goes through the entire downloading and updating process but I get an error message at the very end and the maps and Basecamp are not loaded. Tried uninstalling...

Just had this from MachineartMoto

The new Avant front fender extension for the 2021 RT is still a few months away. The design process is underway. We will be in touch when it is ready.

Unfortunately, no one makes anything suitable yet, the 2019 version does not fit according to Wunderlich. It seems that the shape of the fender on the 2021 bike is different (wider at the bottom). According to both Nippy Normans,Avantar and Wunderlich they are expecting availability of the new versi...

I tried that one back in March after checking with the manufacturer that it fitted - it didn't and they are designing a new one. I gather from NN that a headlight protector should be available very soon.

Steve attached is a photo of the original software on the TFT (and the latest).  This worked for me apart from some flaky map connections.  All changed after my service on the 28th April and I got the new TFT software. David,As I thought , my bike came with the latest version - so...

David,As an aside to the comment I made on the other forum, I have had the same issues before and after my first service on 5 May.  I was told that there was not a TFT update and my Android is only at version 8? Does this help or hinder your theory? Was your service/update after 5 May? Stev...

I don't have an XT but I still use my Zumo 660. I will continue to use it untill/if I get the connectivity/voice issues resolved with the TFT and App on the new bike. I suspect that I will probably use it after that when leading tours etc as they can be quite long and complicated when planned on Bas...

I've got a Zumo 660, and I've just checked my Garmin account, I first registered it in Jan 2011. It has served me well over the years doing many, many trips around the UK and Europe. I've got a 2021 R1250RT with the Connected App etc,but I got the dealer to move my Garmin mount from my 1200RT to the...

I can't get the Connected App voice instructions either (Cardo Packtalk Bold). Don't usually bother with music as the radio in the Cardo is normally very good if I want some background noise/music. Will try playing music from my phone today through the TFT rather than the Cardo app that I know works...
