I don't have an XT2, but from what I am hearing about Garmin saying the "XT2 not compatible with basecamp" almost sounds like when Garmin said that the old 550 was not compatible with SD cards larger than 4Gb.... most all know that was not the case.

Garmin sure has it by the tail.. they say the device is obsolete so no phone tech support, you can still download recent maps(if you have the subscription), but yet you can't download an older version that you had previously downloaded..... You will most likely have to go the route of OSM maps. In m...

I've used Basecamp to create/export GPX routes for loading/importing to my Harley boombox nav system.
They have loaded and routed ok, so far.

If I'm not mistaken, don't you have to put the Nav unit into MTP transfer mode, for the PC to see it.

+ what sussamb said, you have to have the correct map and unlock key for it to work.

You might be able to use OSM maps, I use them on my SP2810.

I get my off route/recalc when the road locations are newer than the maps..... multiple times the map thought I was in the middle of a field that is now a road.

Try removing your avoidance's and recalculate. I've been on the parkway this year and last year and there are sections that are closed with detours.
Not saying that's the answer, but something to try.

Adding to what Rofor said about the routable maps being active, note that the OSM maps most likely will not have the junction images, speed zones, school zones, etc.... and (at least here in the states) the OSM maps probably will not have a detailed address database for searching.

I will say that the only sure fire way for the XT to not record your activities is to leave it at home, or not turn it on..... if you don't like it don't use it. Problem solved.

You might inquire about what Harley you are renting. Most all of the newer Electra Glides and Road Kings have built in GPS maps in the radio/nav unit.
My '17 has it, so I'd imagine that anything newer also would, unless the head unit was replaced with something aftermarket.

My XT did the same thing.... wanted a wifi update that for some reason didn't come thru the express link on the pc. I had done the express updates and new maps so my guess is that the XT wanted a wifi connection to confirm? I did turn on the wifi and it only took a short time to connect and then the...
