Re: Bluetooth Advice Needed

I routed the audio out section of the 595 octopus cable to pop out where my right thigh, seat and fuel tank meet. No Bluetooth woes and I easily and unobtrusively get the audio directions when I need it. Herein lies the problem with your solution for those who own an XT... "There is no audio o...

Re: Unable to calculate path

This gets a bit complex and you need a fairly good understanding of the differences between waypoints, track points, shaping points, tracks and routes... If you are unfamiliar with those things, and how they work, I would suggest that you study these things first, to help you understand what the GPS...

Re: Unable to calculate path

City Navigator and TopoActive Maps that came with the XT are typically displayed when I ride. BTW, the process described above seems like a lot. I can complete all the steps in under 2 minutes if I have the GPX file available on my cell phone. It's really quite slick... On one of my last events, I w...

Re: Unable to calculate path

I frequently attend Dual Sport and Adventure motorcycle events where GPX files are provided for each day's ride. Here is my preferred method with the XT. I have Garmin Drive and Garmin Explore loaded on my cell phone and utilize them as the software tools to get a GPX file onto the XT. This is all d...

Re: Annoying screen rotation.

With an active route displayed on the screen (in track up mode), I can pinch to zoom without causing the green banner at the top of the screen to disappear, just like if I was zooming in and out using the +/- buttons on the screen. You have to be careful when doing this that your thumb and index fin...

Re: Problem converting track to trip

Before you try to convert the track to a trip, disable all routable maps. Then convert the track to a trip. Then you can re-enable the routable maps. The new trip that you created should follow the track accurately, even if it includes areas that are not a part of the routable mapset. To verify, you...

Re: Annoying screen rotation.

I made the assumption that you were following the route with "Track Up" orientation. When you are using the GPS in that mode and you zoom out far enough, it switches to "North Up" orientation. Seems to happen at the 30 mile zoom level. When you switch back to the 20 mile zoom lev...

Re: Annoying screen rotation.

In all likelihood, you are using the pinch to zoom function and zooming out past the point where the XT switches the orientation to "North" up. Same thing happens when you use the + or- button to zoom in and out. Not sure if there is any way to prevent this, but that is my guess as to what...

Re: XT Not Seen By BaseCamp on MacBook Pro

You can only have one program running at a time:

Express

Or

Basecamp

Or

Android File Transfer (if you want to see the folders and internal storage on the XT).

You cannot have more than one running at a time, or none of them will see the XT.
