Re: Via Point / Shaping Point question

There are two separate issues here. The moving route point - when you use the XT1 screen to change a via to a shaping point is a known fault, which has been present since the Zumo 595. You don't want to know what the XT2 does. Garmin have taken an original issue and made it much more dramatic ...

Re: Tread Collections not synchronising to XT2

I've noticed in the past that items do not synchronise unless something has changed. Makes sense. There has to be a flag which I think @Frankb mentioned in his TripManager documentation. There are a few similar ones relating to routing preferences too, Cant remember the name offhand ...

Re: New to the forum!

Just been hunting. A while back Sleuth made this comment about the BMW Nav4. https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=13445#p13445 Whuch Confirms that the Nav 4 is based on the Zumo 660 - although there will be some differences. So you may find useful information in the 660 forum. Link below ...

Re: Latest XT2/Tread software version

It worked a few months ago, I've imported many GPX files from all sorts of websites. And it also worked for another guy in a thread that I created here. https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=24201#p24201 It's an iPhone bug, I hope it gets sorted out soon. It's a navigation device, if it ...

Re: New to the forum!

Welcome to the Forum.

We do have a section for the BMW Nav IV - but no one has ever posted anything there !
I am wondering if this is based on the Zumo 660. It has a sort of look that seems similar to the 660.

Re: Latest XT2/Tread software version

Routes that have been created using the Tread App and then exported from tread as as a GPX file - you might think that these would work OK ? Not so. It has issues importing its own GPX files - the import process changes the routes - but at least it reads them. Using Calimoto, Google and other ...

Re: Latest XT2/Tread software version

Zumo XT2 version 5.40 was released in January, and I'm sure the handling of GPX files when importing via the internal GPX folder is different. I used to have problems with some GPX files I had saved on my PC, but now I don't. There were elements that were sometimes lost in the process of importing ...

Re: cradle mount charging problem

What you describe is what happens when the battery is not fully charged - and it will do this even when connected to a house charger - because the XT takes more power than the charger can typically provide. If using a house charger, the XT needs to be in standby mode and left to charge for 24 hours ...

Re: zumo 340lm

I reckon that the 590 was the last most reliable and predictable satnav that Garmin have produced. I believe that the 390 was a variation of the 590 ? I may be wrong about that.

Re: Need help: Bluetooth problems XT2

Has anyone else reported this problem to Garmin? What solutions have they offered you? The only thing they have told me is to "disable synchronization while this problem is solved." Basically, it's like saying "use cable like in the 90s" lol Not this particular issue - but I have videos and logs ...
