Re: Next action/turn distance is not showing

Peobody - Ok, the argument of group riding makes sense to me! But what's wrong with choosing Closest Entry Point? I used it a few times and never had a problem with it! Also normally if i had to leave the pre-planned route, i get back to it 'on sight' - route recalculation is permanently 'Off' and ...

Re: Next action/turn distance is not showing

Hmmm - the one and only reason for me using a via point is on a long (>300km) tour with my wife, because her fuel tank is smaller than mine and so i pick a gas station around after 270-280km and set a via point 100m in front of it on the street, so to not get troubles with less fuel. Is there really...

Re: Checking for update

PaulaRay - This must not be any firmware update (no new firmware than 6.50 at the moment)! This could be language files, speech files, POIs and so on! All those updates, excluded map files, will be be shown under 'Software' - the only way to get an idea, which files are updated, is to use Garmin Ex...

Re: Definition Changes - Trip vs Route ??

jfheath But - I've been looking at XT2 screen shots, and I notice something rather revealing. There is no longer a Trip Planner App. In its place is something called a 'Route Planner App'. Which looks (from screen shots) like a renaming of the Trip Planner App. In german, the app on the Zumo XT was...

Re: Routes failing to import

Oh, maybe i've misunderstood that!?
Was the same point used twice or where there two different points with the same name used?

Re: Routes failing to import

FrankB Conclusion: It might be as simple as "You cannot have multiple Via points in a route with the same name." Hmmmm - maybe you've trapped an error(?), which often occurs in the last months! There where so many postings with 'could not import this route' in many of the navigation-based...

Re: Zumo XT and Road Closures - options to disable

electro_handyman - i know that i can disable those functions and i'm driving the last two years with this functions disabled, which i also have written in my last posting! But that's not the point - the point is, that i have to disable a function, which is in principle useful, to use the unit just ...

Re: Zumo XT and Road Closures - options to disable

The road block ahead only seems to be spotted when you enter the 'section of the route' containing the road block. A 'section' in this case is between two Via Points. So if you have a Via Point a mile before where the road block is, you are not alerted to it until you pass that Via Point !! At that...

Re: Zumo XT and Road Closures - options to disable

jfheath - We discussed this problem in the german Naviboard long ago and our findings, inclusive a statement from Garmin: Simple answer to this problem: You can't! - Reason for this: Garmin says "It's a feature, not a bug". :cry: First bad thing: If a full(!) road closure is reported by t...

Re: Routes up ahead

RedzDave and jfheath I think, i know what he means as i would also be glad if the Zumo XT and the newer ones would allow this - but i fear, that this is not possible! What i was looking for is the following - you can enter via the three-dot-menu three categories of POIs, which will be shown on the ...
