Re: Garmin Express v7.25.0 has been released

My Windows 11 has Smart App Control off, and tells me that I have to re-install Windows if I want to turn it on.

Re: Route points: Some non-alerting, some alerting

This is all sounding very complicated. My simple rule is that shaping points go on junctions, default is not to announce, via points never go on junctions, default (IIRC) is to announce. "Turns" to me are simply products of a route once it has been formed, not part of its formation.

It's not a complete answer, but if you insert a point on a junction it doesn't alert.

Re: Using the Drive app to send routes from an email in my Samsung Galaxy S22 to my Zumo XT

You could try saving the file to your device, then trying to open it. That might give you the option you need.

Are you sure Russ's method won't allow you to do this? When I can find a tuit I'll try it myself.

Re: CN NA NT 2026.10 is available

IIRC, GE always downloads as "GarminExpress.exe" but it is a full version so renaming it as a filename that includes the version number works for the purpose of re-installation (I use GE_<version>.exe, like GE_7.24.0.0.exe). The only GarminExpress.exe on my PC is five years old. I'm running 7.24.0 ...

Re: Hello.

2.I am also looking to install the XT2 on my 2021 BMW R1250 GS Adventure having removed the OEM Nav Prep. I may put a BMW repair plug on and use the vacant Plug/Socket left by the said OEM Nav Prep. I've not come across the BMW repair plug. I wired my XT in to the original loom using a £20 lead ...

Re: Update to Europe NTU 2026.1

I installed NTU 2026.1 on my PC running GE 7.24.0. I just needed to try the various menus and options until I found one that worked. I'm fairly sure I had the XT connected.

Re: XT handlebar On/Off Switch

I don't see why not. I did a similar thing but using a rocker switch in the dashboard. I liked the idea of independant control of power to the XT.

Re: Via points set by rubber band

I always put shaping points in junctions, and they don't seem to alert.
