Re: zumo XT First (and continuing) impressions

I cannot duplicate the fault that [mention]Tom Schmitz[/mention] reported. But I am trying this on the 595, not an XT and the two don't necessarily behave the same in this respect.
I emptied my internal memory of transferred routes before doing this (from Windows Explorer on my PC, you cant get rid of them from the Zumo). I also cleared out all of the previous imported routes from the Zumo screen. I did this because each newly imported route was creating 9 additional routes. I wonder if Tom hit a different limit to do with the total number of routes in internal memory ?
I tested modifications to your route with 31, 32, 249, 250, 251, 254, 255, 256, 257 and 296 Via Points. The results were that all of them imported fine.
31 Via Points imported without splitting (as I commented above, but thought I would check again.
32 Via Points was split into 2 routes.
249, 250, 251 Via Points all split into 9 routes, 8 of which had 31 points in them. The last was obviously shorter.
255, 256, 257 Via Points points also split into 9 routes (I was half expecting a limit at 255 Via Points. (255 being the biggest number in binary with 8 digits.)
296 Via Points split into 10 routes (half expecting there to be an issue with continuing a split route into double digits.
But - this is not an XT. I'll keep my routes to test it when I get my XT - but apparently, no new XTs have entered the country yet. I got a phone call this morning. They were supposed to be in Southampton today, but they haven't arrived yet. But one of them has my name on it. .....
Would it be unkind to start a rumour that they have got lost ? Not bothered too much. With the lockdown, I am not going anywhere anytime soon.
