It may do that. I haven't used this since one of my early Zumos - the 550 I think. But I'm pretty sure that when you approach the mileage that you set for the 'running out of fuel' value, it pops up a message which you can respond to and it searched for the nearest fuel dump.
I may be mistaken - it was a long time and 4 zumo models ago. Not AI (most AI badged programs aren't really AI). Just a single program instruction would allow it to happen. I would assume that the feature is still there - otherwise what is the point of asking for a value for the remaining fuel warning ? You'd have to try it - because I am only assuming and relying on fading memory. I don't know.
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 !
