Re: Zumo XT Fails to Calculate & Display Route Segment Info

Since jfheath raised the topic of editing the themes available on the Zumo XT, I thought worth sharing this for those folks who dabble with this. A useful free editor for Garmin Theme files can be downloaded from here: http://www.pinns.co.uk/osm/theme_editor.html This editor provides a graphical int...

Re: Long Routes

Modern Garmins can only handle up to 29 via points in a route, more than that and you'll get the behaviour you describe. As a point of clarity, can a route handle 29 via points or 30 via points?

Re: Definition Changes - Trip vs Route ??

First, I have to agree with danham . We need to not overthink Garmin's use of terminology. Garmin has never been consistent with their terminology. I suspect their use of terms has evolved as they modified (or added, or decided not to add) functions to their devices. If you look at the menu bar in B...

Re: Garmin Drive to Garmin XT issues

Normally I do my planning in Basecamp. I save (export) my trip data to a GPX file, after which I manually copy the GPX file to the micro-SD card in my Zumo XT.

Re: Does anybody know the margin for 'hitting' a Via point?

Hello, new member to this board. I own both a BMW Navigator VI device (made by Garmin for BMW) and a Garmin Zumo XT. I recall seeing settings on the Navigator 6 that may shed some light on the margin for "hitting" a Via Point. The Navigator 6 settings appear to be applicable to Waypoints, ...
