Fully agree, but you said that you bought an XT2.
You said that you are importing routes.

You didn't say whether or not you have installed the Tread app, and if you have, whether it is allowed to synch your routes.

If the answer is 'yes' you will see what I mean when you start your tour. And then, you will be pleased that you had your tracks.
To add a little more detail, jfheath wrote: Typical symptoms ..
Route point names are likely to change,
shaping points will probably move onto faster roads.
Your route will not be the same as you planned.
At least take an SD card with a copy of the track on it. Just in case the inevitable happens.
I really hope that you will prove me wrong. I might learn something new from you when you come back.
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 !
