How do you get to the "root" of a usb drive? I have been unable to transfer favorites from my Zumo to the infotainment system.

"Root" is the main directory.
Think of it as the first level when you double click on the Drive.

Just got back to the hotel from day 2 of riding the Black Hills.

Rapid City, Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Road, Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore, etc.
Not a single issue with the NAV System

Route 1: Hotel to Mt. Rushmore, taking some scenic ways to get there (Needles Hiwy, Iron Mountain Rd)
Route 2: Mt. Rushmore to Custer (again not direct route, but custom scenic way I built)
Route 3: Custer back to Hotel (same as above, not direct route, but several scenic roads coming back).

Nav system hit every single road and turn I put in perfect.

neugierig, haben Sie Ihre lauguage auf Deutsch ändern?
no, I have the language set to English-speaking. I'm Dutch and although I do speak basic German it's a little different if your concentrating on the road ànd listening to a foreign language at the same time.
It should, if that's what you imply, not be necessary to change language when you ride abroad.
And yes. I had a fantastic trip with great people, beautiful food, nice hotels and the most mesmerising trips through amazing sceneries you can imagine.

I'm sure you will enjoy your trip at least as much as I have but I would like to suggest a few practice trips to get the settings of the boom right. Following routes instead of waypoints and all that makes things better, apparently.
I found the Boom less intuitively than the Roadtech (zumo)on the ultra but I suppose that you will get used to it.

Safe and enjoyable trip!!!!!!

But I disagree with DaveVn007 when it comes to pronunciations. When riding through Germany the street and town names are spoken in an alien language and names are unrecognizable. For a system that is sold abroad it's a disgraceful shortcoming.

Maybe you should set it to the British girl voice. I have mine that way & love it, makes me laugh.

Davesvn007, if you want to quickly adjust the volume of the directions, while she is talking, click up or down on the radio volume,, it does only the GPS volume then..

I've tried that. She sounds too much like my ex mother in law. Makes me go left when she says right and turn when told "straight for six miles"

Scaredofraim - no, I was not implying that one has to change the language when you ride abroad - however, I have found that the English pronunciation of a city is a bit different from the German pronunciation.

My wife is from Weniveiller Germany (not far from K-Town). If our GPS is voiced in German, the US locations sound different. That is why I was suggesting the German locations sound different in English

I understand what you're saying but what i heard during my trip was more than just a slightly different pronounciation of a town name. I can understand that it's difficult to cater for soo many different languages but what came out of my speakers was just a garbeled blurb and even with the town name in front of me on a road sign it was impossible to find any similarity.
