Solved it! Have found out how to do it by myself. Gleaned some info from other online websites on how to change the map theme on an XT2 (it's an easy thing to do) Also worked out how to have both the track and the route displayed at the same time on this forum by reading jfheath's excellent "B...

G'Day I'm looking for a way to display both my route and the track at the same time (import via BaseCamp). As far as I can tell this involves changing the map theme on the XT2 itself. I've seen quite a bit of info on how to change the map theme on the XT, but I haven't been able to find instruction...

Thanks, jfheath.
Fantastic to see that your "RUT" testing of both the XT and the XT2, shows that the XT2 doesn't experience RUT problems,
(If I have read your excellent post correctly)

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...

Will be very interesting to see how the XT2 behaves compared to the original XT. Look forward to seeing what hapens.
Thanks again jfheath>

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! I use Gaia GPX Maps and Base Camp on my Widows PC for all my route planning and then transfer the GPX files directly from the PC to...

Is there a reason that there is an option for a "Straight Line" Route (or segment)?
I can't ever imagine wanting to travel in a straight line, and most times (unless you're a bird) I doubt it would even be possible.

Short answer - Repeated U-Turn - Problem the XT has with imported routes with more than one way / via / shaping point and you go off route.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Very new to using my XT2. I see the anacronym "RUT" used a couple of times in the above posts. Could you please tell me what RUT stands for? I'm thinking it might be "Request U-Turn". I'm Looking forward to seeing more of your insights Jfheath into your experiences with the all n...
