That is an interesting question. That black line is thin and appears to be bordered by a faded magenta. I wonder if anyone who shows a track on the map in black would see it. I normally do, and I have never seen it.

Re: My first encounter with phantom road closures

Nope, no tracks displayed. I once saw similar bogus closure on I-84 in CT, and it also showed a black line beyond the closure. But unlike my Boston fiasco, ignoring the closure did not affect the route or cause a recalc request. I have also been able to ride through some closures, but then others ...

Re: My first encounter with phantom road closures

First is the bogus closure symbol. That may not be due to complexity, though I suppose one of the lower-level roads in that mess might be closed, though I have no evidence of same. Second is the nonsensical recalc route, and I am sure the complexity coupled with some possible position error could ...

Re: My first encounter with phantom road closures

I wonder if the complexity contributes to the problem? I have seen mine get confused by two situations. One is parallel roads separated only by Jersey barriers. I can think you are on one road when you are actually on the other. The other is parallel roads at multiple elevations. The XT just can't ...

Re: My first encounter with phantom road closures

danham , I am sure you've seen my posts about the inaccuracy of the traffic notifications on the XT. I have also encountered phantom road closures. I have had enough valid ones to consider the traffic feature useful although I suspect I would change my mind if I experienced what you describe. The ...

Re: Garmin Express 7.24.0 has been released

Just a 'heads up' to let you know that when I started my XT following the GE check and disconnection from the PC, it did the 'do you want to import' prompt even though I had not transferred any new routes. I answered in the affirmative out of curiosity. It was the route in temp.gpx. That route had ...

Re: Garmin Express 7.24.0 has been released

I have installed and done an initial test of GE 7.24.0. This is what I check during my initial test: - Does it recognize my XT? Yes - Did the launch at startup option get enabled? No - Did the keep running in background option get enabled? No - Does the option to install maps to computer exist? Yes

Re: Battery Life when switched off

If I am on a trip with XT route in-progress and pull into a fuel station and then turn my motorcycle off, would'nt the switched circuit kill my active route? with XT mount on direct motorcycle battery, the route would remain active when starting up the motorcycle again? When the XT is a on a ...

Re: Need help: Bluetooth problems XT2

so, do you think that the problem can be in the headset and not in the mobile phone? I think (a scary thing) that the XT just won't reliably handle 3 bluetooth connections although I would think that a motorcycle satnav that is designed to function with a connected phone and headset would handle a ...
