Now, all that remains is to change the mount on the bike.a little moan to Garmin “why keep changing the mounts?” and get out and use it. This, to me, is what I’ve been wanting from Garmin for years.I’m over the moon! And there it is as a track on the device. Phone gives me the option to open it in Garmin Drive which then asks me if I want to send it to the XT. So, into MyRoute App on the phone, pick a route and save it to the phone.

Now, would the wireless allow me to transfer routes/tracks to the XT. All without any connection to the computer. Made a cuppa, bimbled around and it finished in about 30 minutes. The XT prompted me to do a map and software update, giving me the usual two hours or more waiting time. The wireless connection was there as soon as I entered the network password. I’ve been out in the garden in bright sun and the XT screen is clear and bright whereas the 595 is its usual invisible self.Īll connections to the android phone and Scala G9 headset were made without any hassle and I also installed Garmin Drive to the phone. Running my finger over the 595 screen is like the difference between chalk and cheese. Finger to the settings icon, to the display options and I’m totally impressed by the smooth feel and responsiveness of the screen. So, straight out of the box, I switch it on and am immediately dazzled by the brightness of the screen, which I have to turn down. Have Garmin at last come up with a device that, without actually road testing it, I am at a loss to pick holes in.
