Yep, I did that. Usually I receive an acknowledgement but haven't seen one yet.

Just tested the Direct Point today as shown in the route above (I’m the OP). As expected, there was no routing instruction but since the points were close together there was no off-route message either. This is a great solution to the occasional routing bugs that I see on long trips.

Good news, the route didn't blow up! The route follows the same path shown in BaseCamp though there is no associated turn direction. This stands to reason, I suppose, since it is is a Direct route point and probably works similar to a track. I call this a win!

Brilliant! Works perfectly on BaseCamp. Hopefully, it will show up the same on the Zumo. Thank you!

Thank you for the confirmation. I thought I was proficient with BaseCamp but I've never run across a Direct route point or how to create one. Does this involve changing the Activity Profile or using a track? Thanks to this forum I've started under(over?)-laying tracks with my routes so I should be a...

When checking turn-by-turn directions for an upcoming trip I came across an anomaly that I am unable to correct. The route was created in BaseCamp, transferred to the Zumo XT's SD card, and then imported, where it shows the same result. In this case, I am coming from the south, making a left turn (u...

Jumping on here as it seems very related to my "Cannot calculate the route" post. In my case that message was preceded by numerous u-turn directives that I ignored. This caught my attention: Has anyone compared routing results between the Faster Time and Shorter Distance Calculation Modes?...

I have had this once or twice and it sounds like it's related to this https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2030 I came across this post when searching the forum but only read a couple pages. Now I'll read the whole thing. I wonder if changing Off-Route Recalculation from Automatic to Pr...

I use the Zumo almost exclusively for all-day and multi-day trips. I almost never enter a location and let it calculate unless it's a restaurant or something. The "cannot calculate" thing is a PITA and I expect better from Garmin.

Thanks for the clarification. So what's the best response to the "Cannot calculate the route" message? Just restart the trip?
