Re: Zumo XT - A Revelation!

I agree that smart phones do navigation way better in general than dedicated GPS devices like the Garmin zumo XT. I just got one myself. First Garmin ever. And I was quite disappointed at its lack of search capabilities when I wanted to navigate somewhere. Addresses were not always understood, and ...

Re: Speed cam warning

Fool proof way to avoid speed traps: Use cruise control or better foot control to stay within the speed limits. But clearly, for the past years in France, speed cam are drifting from a road safety tool to a money milking system. They use to be in dangerous areas, where there is a lot of accidents ...

Re: Speed cam warning

If you're below the speed limit then that sounds like normal behaviour if you've got single tone selected. Not used the continuous tone for many years, but suspect it might give more warnings. continuous tone does give the sound but no other pop ups, and for small rides i do not use my helmet ...

Re: Speed cam warning

Where are you getting your data from? You can have warning of danger zones in France but it's illegal to be warned of speed cameras. I have the "cyclop" stuff subscription coming with the XT -> therefore it knows where the danger zone are. :( In France it's "illegal" to have the exact location of a ...

So for small trips, when i do not connect my intercom to it...there is absolutely no way i can see the pop up ...

if no power, there is a screen setting to turn off after X time
Set mine to 5min, which is the max (otherwise it's never, which is not ok neither)

Re: Trip planner strange behaviour

Trip planner is quite bad from my experience. Very hard to add an intermediate point, i also had this issue with the "yes/no" for the routing, couldn't figure out what was the difference =D. Also, several time i lost trips while making them, because i was looking on maps/phone/asking my girl where ...

Re: Trace GPX impossible a convertir en itinéraire

Salut Joseph, super ton projet de TET ! Mais effectivement, impossible d'avoir un itinéraire de plus de 30 points. Techniquement tu peux suivre la trace sur l'écran de ton GPS sans le guidage vocal. :geek: Si tu tiens au guidage vocal ce sera uniquement sur les routes, impossible par les chemins. ...
