You are most welcome.
Re the start point. It works well putting it well up the road with the 590 and XT. I used to do it with the 660, but that used to navigate you to where the start point is located, and the stop navigating , so you had to reload the route.
Putting it up the road also solves the oh so common user error. When it asks 'select next destination' and presents the start and end points, selecting the start is the obvious thing to do. It seems that a lot of people that select the end, and then complain that the satnav has ignored their planned route.
But a point well up the road gives the opportunity to go to the shops, get fuel, find coffee, and still gets you to the start point from wherever you end up.
Now the XT has 'Closest Entry Point', this is a good catch-all and although I haven't tried it in anger, I have tested what it does with simulations, and it seems to work very well - providing you have the latest software 2.7.0 installed.
