Re: What is this?

In my area, I seem to get warnings for being 'off road' in areas where the map is not up to date with new/moved roads......

Re: "Files Too Large" for update

With 7.24, Garmin removed the option to install to the computer UNTIL the map is installed to the device 1st.
Once the map is on the device, it can then be "reinstalled" to the computer.

Or you can uninstall 7.24 and install the previous 7.23 release.

Re: What is this?

I've came to the same conclusion on traffic data...
Last year on a trip to the east coast gps kept trying to send me on a 100 mile detour for a closed road, but yet traffic signage indicated local detours ahead, so obviously I followed the local signage and ignored the Garmin warnings.....

Re: DONT UPDATE GARMIN EXPRESS

Or they will push away/alienate their userbase so they buy something other than Garmin..... I still have a 550, but if I'm not mistaken the latest map updates won't download for the 550 as Garmin classifies the 550 as EOL and not support new maps. I did not get the map update notification for the ...

Re: Zumo XT Music issues

Tell us how you have your BT connections setup. It sounds like you are pairing your both your phone and XT to the headset... that causes problems, as you are experiencing. Best connection sequence is to pair your headset only to the XT 1st, then pair the phone only to the XT 2nd. This make the XT ...

Re: xt to xt2 thoughts ?? xt dead..

One thought, as I have read in many other posts, the XT2 is not directly compatible with Basecamp, by design from Garmin.

Re: Firmware update for Group Ride Radio????

My best guess is that it will be installed the next time you put the XT online for any other updates, regardless of what updates are pending. I doubt they will let you selectively skip updates.

Re: BMW navitagor 6 problems with straight lines between waypoints

1st thing I would suggest is verify you are using a valid 'activity profile' within Basecamp for your route, other than none or 'direct'.

Re: Java (RUT) Question

Another question to answer on that issue is about the map on the 'other' XT.
Are the map versions identical or not.

Re: Cardo Spirit HD headset arrived

Tom, I have Android, and I use a Sena headset setup.(I sent you an amazon link to them in your other thread) I have 2 units. I can ride with my wife, or when I'm on a trip alone I carry the 2nd unit to swap if I get a low battery warning on a long day. Otherwise I alternate head units weekly when I ...
