XT2 Recalculate Woes. Looking for workaround...

Post by mervcolton »

Hi, I sometimes like to use my XT2 in a ver simple mode, I I start my bike at home, search for a waypoint, and get to navigate there (Fastest, or maybe adventure). It does that well.

BUT: If I do any kind of detour, and if I say "YES" when it asks can it re-calculate, it can jump from (say..) 50KM to my destination to 250KM. It's almost like the recalculate picks old or random via points it thinks I might enjoy. So, I no longer detour at all - and that's crazy, it's like the tail wagging the dog.

I've updated (multiple times, and I am on the latest and greatest).

I dont see anyone else reporting this behavior - Recalculate increasing the route by a factor between 2 and 5. Sometimes even cris crossing the same road a few times.

Anyone got hints as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Merv.

P.S. Happy St. Patricks day from Ireland! :-)

Did you get anywhere with this issue?

Is there any evidence that it is trying to get you back to its original route first ?
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
