Re: Not charging despite being connected directly to battery

I would check the connection pins with a multimeter to see if there is power to the pins. If not do you have the fuse inplace and if so the fuse good? Lastly check you connection points, splices, etc.

Re: XT occasionally switches off

Using a Fuzeblock there are no splices. The wire connects directly to the busbar via a screwed connection.

Re: XT occasionally switches off

I have had this happen as well. I ended up doing a field repair. I use something called a Fuzeblock. It is a product with a built in relay and connection points for multiple devices. So I use this for my aftermarket heated grips, onboard camera and the Zumo XT. The Zumo XT wiring harness come with t...

Re: Zumo XT "Cannot Calculate the Route"

When I was in the Geographic Information System "GIS" industry or digital cartography there were three things that I used as a measure for information accuracy. It was what I called "QIC" Quality, Integrity & Completeness. Each of which describe different aspects of data mana...

Re: Zumo XT "Cannot Calculate the Route"

But I do know that the maps in North Carolina can cause some weird behaviour - they seem to have roads plotted that disappeared years ago. [/i] This is common in the USA. I believe that it has to do with how the map database was created and how it is maintained. This could be a long and complicated...

Re: Zumo XT "Cannot Calculate the Route"

Peabody, even on my 660 I have had recalculate off forever so the illogical results I am familiar with. I almost exclusively use Basecamp for my motorcycle routing. I have learned over the years to use a lot of shaping point forcing the route in the satnav to follow my specific route that I have pla...

Re: Zumo XT "Cannot Calculate the Route"

Peabody, thanks for all of your responses. Although your last response about the XT behavior and no real resolutions is bothersome. These are expensive units and Garmin should provide at a minimum an error log when building imported routes. But for me I did find the issue, see attached, the two circ...

Re: Zumo XT "Cannot Calculate the Route"

Thanks for the link but not much help. These are dead simple routes very few points. In fact the route that fails only has a handful of point. The route in Green is the route that failed to import, the other worked fine, plus it had more complex road types. Hwys to dirt. Failed route all paved roads...

Zumo XT "Cannot Calculate the Route"

Hi new to forum, not new to Basecamp and Satnav. I just bought a Zumo XT after my Zumo 660LM touch screen started to fail and inopportune times. The other day I created a route in Basecamp something I have done thousands of times. The route was a loop about 250 miles. All types of roads. I transferr...
