Re: Wild goose chase

Please... no apology needed. I didn't think a thing of the file name and my screen name being interchanged. do greatly appreciate the time you spent reviewing my route and your suggestions for better results in the future.

Re: Wild goose chase

This is in Mexico, a route I planned late last year on MRA. Wheels on the ground it took me about 75% of the way to the #3 way point and then went screwy - sending me into little towns and corkscrewing around them, left, right, into dead ends, gravel pits, and passages that clearly were more for ...

Re: Wild goose chase

Thanks, I'll try that with starting points a little up the road from where I am. Avoidances are all off, and fastest time (learned that the hard way last year)... I've had Garmin GPS units for a dozen years - always car units I used on a motorcycle, Those performed very well although the data base ...

Re: Wild goose chase

More problems. In Mexico using the 2nd Zumo XT . From the hotel a destination was 13 miles away. I used the Zumo XT screen to find a route. It claimed 11 miles. Following the prompts on the screen it took 90 minutes via a circuitous route which made no sense. We finally arrived at the destination ...

Re: Wild goose chase

I haven't got a clue why this might have happened in your case. I would need a lot more information. How did you plan your route ? What software ? Did you plan it on the XT screen, or did you use the Explore App or Website? Is this a route that you were following - with start, end and some route ...

Wild goose chase

Three times in the past week the Zumo XT has sent us off route - in cities it will suggest a turn off the road we know and expect is part of the route. Curious, I followed its suggestion twice and had a tour of some neighborhoods in Mexico that obviously weren't thoroughfares. The Zumo XT never ...

What fubction does an SD card serve?

I'm very happy with the Zumo XT and have put many miles on using it. When new I installed a 32 GB card as instructed formatted to FAT 32. Now, 2-3 years later there's nothing on the card other than .System file, Garmin file folder, and Id. 352 KB used, 29.7 free. I would have thought that previous ...
