Different Media Source Options on the zūmo XT Series, and How They Work

Garmin's zūmo devices offer a variety of options for accessing music or other audio you'd like to hear as you ride. Each audio option offers slightly different functionality, so choose the media source that best suits your needs.

All audio options mentioned below are accessed by touching Music on the main menu > Select Source.

MP3 Player

• Connection type: no connection required to access MP3s; plays MP3 files loaded directly to the zūmo and/or the SD card.
• Allows you to browse through all available songs by song title, album, artist, genre, and playlist when that information is available.
• When using this audio option, the media player map tool displays the current song title.
• The shuffle button displays on the left, and the repeat button on the right.

Bluetooth Audio

• Connection type: Bluetooth connection; plays any audio transmitted by the paired device. 
• Although you can play, pause, and skip forward/backward, this audio source does NOT allow you to browse the audio on your paired device.
  • Selecting a specific song or audio file must be done on the paired device.
• When using this audio option, the media player map tool does NOT display the current song/audio title.
