Re: What 3 Words

Sadly, this feature no longer works. I think Garmin removed the feature some months ago when they updated the Drive app - a real shame.

Re: offroad maps

Have you looked at any maps available from the various Open Street Map OSM sites? The good thing is that almost all of them are free of charge,

Re: No verbal directions when listing to MP3 over Bluetooth

Have you by any chance got OSM maps, Open Street Maps enabled? If so this will cut out spoken navigation directions. If you disable them you should return to normal.

Re: Transferring Routes from Base Camp to XT

It might just be a typo in your original message, but I think you find that the XT uses 'NTU' maps.

I have 2 Garmin gps units & the old Montana uses 'NT' maps.

Are you sure you are using the correct map on Basecamp prior to transferring the route?
