Garmin zumo xt average speed cameras

[RickSkye]

Hi, does the garmin zumo track your speed thru an average speed trap?

No,

Well it might do. I dunno and don't care Rick
Most of the ones on the A9 are switched off.

They just have speed camera vans at the end of the dual carriage ways.

Yes, but I use an older iPhone. I use Waze.

No

Use a 595 for the car cos its got a windscreen suction cup thingy. The Montana didn't come with a suction cup thingy so it gets used on the bike.

Simples . . . like me

Yup, my old Garmin Zumo 590 works well both on the bike and in the car. I keep looking at possible replacements - new Garmin, mobile phone, humungous tablet - but can't really see any advantage. For example, the Zumo screen doesn't reflect as much as a phone or tablet, so it's easier to read. It's waterproof out of the box. It responds well to gloved hand. It connects fine to my headset. It doesn't rely on a live mobile phone connection. (The battery lost almost all capacity a few years ago, and I could get a replacement battery, but I haven't bothered yet.)

Maybe as and when it finally dies, I'll look again at alternatives. Brand new Zumos are expensive, but amortised over, say, 8 or more years they're not too bad.

Sounds very good. Thanks.
