Errors with Basecamp

I'm planning a road trip, in the car, and will be using the Zumo XT with the Garmin auto mount. I have Basecamp set for "Driving". BaseCamp 4.7.4, and the XT is ver 6.20. I'm still getting "there was a problem connecting with the Zumo" errors, but it does connect and I can transfer routes to it. But ...

XT Wishlist

While I've been generally very happy with the XT, there are a few small things that bother me. Is it just me, or do others have similar complaints that we should try to get Garmin to address ?... 1. Having moved up from a Zumo 665, I miss a small, current time clock in the upper right of the screen ...

Re: XT_Alerts on Map

Just tap the one you want to change, so the screen where you see the up/down arrows just tap the text ... OK, I think I've figured it out. :D Apparently you can only select three things, so to delete one you have to do a Custom Search on that item to replace it. So, all good here now, thanks for ...

Re: XT_Alerts on Map

Customizing the Map Layers You can customize which data appear on the map, such as icons for points of interest and road conditions. Select Settings > Map & Vehicle > Map Layers. Select the layers to include on the map, and select Save. When I do this, it brings up the same three things I see when ...

Yes, I am selecting Up Ahead.
Off the bike, I see no icons on the map - even though displaying an area nearby with multiple restaurants.
Again, I saw tons of icons while riding recently (but no gas stations).

Re: XT_Alerts on Map

Tap the icon, then when you have the list up tap the spanner icon and you can then customize the list I will try that, next time I ride, apparently the icons don't display off the bike. Will tapping the icon bring up the "Up Ahead" settings? I ask because trying that (parked) I can't get anything ...

XT_Alerts on Map

When driving I get Icons on the map, showing nearby restaurants and banks, but seldom (if ever) see gas stations - even I'm when driving right by them. How or where do we set what "Icons" for these appear on the map ? I really don't care about banks, I'd mostly just like to see restaurants and gas ...

Re: Loading Saved Routes

OK, I stumbled on the answer to this and now I get it. This Trip Planner is very poorly explained in the manual, Nowhere in that section (page 16), or anywhere else, does it say a word about loading saved routes. That's a serious omission. Reading that, I thought it only concerned creating ...

Loading Saved Routes

Hello, I am a long-time 665 user, just received and trying to learn my new Zumo-XT. I have one simple question, probably stupid, but I'm baffled by it: How do I load routes that have been saved into the XT ?? I have transferred several gpx files to the XT, via basecamp, and it showed that they were ...
