What sort of system are you using to run BaseCamp?
Sometimes it can be something as simple, as a "bad" connecting cable between the PC and the XT2.

I transfer any route from BaseCamp to my Zumo XT2 (Via PC), using the original USB cable it came supplied with. BaseCamp will warn you that it doesn't support the ZUMO XT2 device, but just ignore the warning and you go ahead and transfer the route. I also notice on my Windows 11 laptop, that it take...

Looks like a well thought out testing route.
Will be very interesting to see how the XT2 behaves compared to the original XT. Look forward to seeing what hapens.

I easily fixed ALL the problems I had with the Tread App. It was a very simple process. I completely Deleted the App from my iPhone. It's way to glitchy and unreliable!

Anyone know of a way to stop the unit form deleting an in progress round trip, when unit it is temporarily shut off, stopping for fuel, coffee etc. I have an XT. When stopping, it will maintain its route when it is allowed to go to sleep. It wakes up ready to continue on. Turning it off with the po...
