Re: Tread Changes Exisiting Routes - Shaping Point Issues

well, spent a bit of time playing with the xt2 in the house. I think I like it so far.. is it worth $500, when I have a few week old XT in my hand as well, I have 30 days to decide that answer.. Now I might understand the tread issue on possible routes... its explorer that seems to be organizing the ...

Re: Tread Changes Exisiting Routes - Shaping Point Issues

skimming through this thread, as a possible xt2 owner, just got my xt swapped out by garmin.. the ignoring shaping points seems like a huge failure, as I'm sure you guys feel as well.. are there work arounds for that without basecamp, and without pulling the sd card ?? is tread like explorer, that ...

Re: XT charging & 40% brightness issues

I may consider another mount idea, using the USB, as when I connect this cable it does charge. Right. I had the same set of issues on my bike ST1300 (Pan European). I also got the 40% issue on a rented BMW in Spain and my old backup Nuvi 1450 saved my day. At home, my solution was connecting the ...
