Adventure Motorcycling Maps for Garmin Zumo XT GPS Units

The Garmin Zumo XT is a fantastic motorcycle GPS suitable for on and off-road riding, but the included maps often omit obscure or less travelled sections of publicly accessible, unpaved routes. As an adventure motorcyclist, the ability to easily find and identify unpaved roadways enhances the riding experience. This set of pre-built maps suitable for the Garmin Zumo XT highlights unpaved roads in a green checkered pattern and unpaved “tracks” or smaller routes in a yellow checkered pattern.
