Re: XT More Observations when Driving Routes.

Track trips are fixed in place - they do not alter. Except if recalc is on, it will plot a route from where you are to the closest point. As you move, the closest point alters, so it recalculate that bit, but the route after the closest pointcstays fixed. A good way of observing this is to plot a r...

Re: XT More Observations when Driving Routes.

Actually, I think that you are wrong in your assumption that it is taking you to the Shaping Point behind you. It doesn't make a great deal of difference in this particular situation, but you have missed three shaping points, and I believe that it is trying to take you to the first shaping point of...

Re: XT More Observations when Driving Routes.

Test 5 & 6 and the other Track Trip tests confuse me. You say you converted to a trip (a track-trip) and are running that but you say that skip is available. Track trips don't have any route points - via or shaping. The have a Begin and an End. and thats it. They should not recalculate, but the...

Re: XT More Observations when Driving Routes.

I think that Tests 1 to 4 are exactly what I would expect as did I, I just thought it would be good to put all my findings on here. others could then gain some knowledge, and perhaps practice a similar test. there is also the potential that someone may attempt one of these tests and gather differen...

Re: XT More Observations when Driving Routes.

I deviated from this route a few times during the course of the journey. On each occasion the XT quickly and effectively recalculated a new route from where I was towards the next route point. This is how it should be, but I have rarely seen it do this on the XT - it has always seemed more concerne...

Re: Routes Prepared in MyRouteApp - Used with XT

The big test will be in September in Germany, they do like to close a motorway and give you no diversion to the next open junction.
ahh yes the dreaded umleitung, and the XT wants to take you back to the missed via/shaping points, effin nightmare sometimes ✌️
