jfheath Today's trial was a success. I followed the advice to set the start point closer to home. I set the start point on Campeau about 50 metres west of where I would start the navigation. I set a shaping point just after the intersection of Campeau and Terry Fox. Next shaping point was just afte...

@jfheath Tks much. I forgot to mention that I like your sig line. With all those Garmins, I can understand the "headache".

jfheath re: terry fox start point. I caused the confusion JF. Sorry about that. In my posts, I started with the screencap of the longer route that did, indeed start south of the 417 on Terry Fox. When that one took me east, then west then south, it did start at the start point. I was curious to see...

jfheath Your route is close. It should start on the other side of 417. So, between Campeau and the 417 on Terry Fox. Mine ends sooner than yours on Hazeldean, but that's no matter. You are correct that I am sitting on Gray just off Campeau when I start the XT2 navigating. I did as you advised. I cr...

The end point is on Hazeldean just after the turn off of Terry Fox. So, the entire route is start on Terry Fox just south of Campeau, continue south on Terry Fox to Hazeldean. Then, turn right/west on Hazeldean. I ended shortly after that turn. There is a large parking lot there that I can use to tu...

jfheath I have not yet watched your videos, but will very shortly. rbentnail I wanted to address your advice directly. I just got back from the same route. The short one that simply starts on Terry Fox and runs south. Previously, I had chosen "closest point" as my start point. This time, ...

jfheath Thanks much for this. For me, I guess the issue is your advice to "Put your start point in a location that you will pass through after you have started moving. The Zumo will take you to it." In this latest test run, I believed that I did exactly that. Logically, it should have wor...

Peobody thanks for this. Yes, I did mean "closest entry point". I understand your advice to make the start point near Kanata on Campeau. That's good advice. I think I'm simply overreacting to my initial failures - those where I set the start point at my actual start point - my house. I ta...

Peobody You hit it. I followed the instruction to turn right onto Campeau to see where it would take me. It took me east 1 km, south 500 metres to get on the 417 highway, then west 2km. Then, it took me off the 417 to turn south on Terry Fox and finally hit the start point. I can see the "logi...

Reporting back. Thanks in no small part to all the help that I've gotten here, I managed to complete a loop route without the unit telling me make a u-turn. There is one strange (to me, at least) thing, though. I am attaching a screencap. The arrow is pointing to where I selected the route and told ...
