Re: Alternative route through a busy town

In this instance you can't rely on Basecamp to do the routing for you. You should make your own determination about what roads you think would best circumvent the town and then place shaping points on those roads forcing Basecamp to route around the town on those roads. Thank you Peobody ...

Re: Big Picture

With an active route, I usually just touch the screen then the directional arrow then the minus button to zoom out.

Re: No satellite reception in new house.

Mine is a 2-story house with my office downstairs. I've never gotten any satellite reception. When I need to I just switch to simulator.

The USB connector is a known weak point.

Re: cradle mount charging problem

It's interesting how a simple mechanical adjustment can fix what seemed like an electrical issue. Garmin should probably take note of this common problem with their mounting system. Cheers for sharing the fix - might help others with the same Zumo XT charging headache. Any exposed electrical ...

Re: Hello, everyone!

Another boob here in North Carolina, welcome! I was hoping to make it down your way this winter but made it only as far as coastal SC. Lucky me then ended up in New England instead! Cold, windy, snowy New England...... :x

No Zumo 390/395/396 here, I use a 595 and an XT1, but with Base Camp planning and Garmin's maps, I often get turn instructions that include "turn -- at the traffic light". The unit knows they are present, why they can't be displayed is a mystery to me.
