Welcome to the forum John.

Thanks for the comment

I do have my own pdf version, but it is not up to date and I am not prepared to let it out. The online version is what I use - I keep it updated when new info becomes available.
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 !

I've just acquired a refurbed XT, my first motorcycle sat nav. I registered with this forum to to say thanks to @jfheath for the youtube videos and the incredibly detailed guide at the head of this thread. How one would get this information otherwise, I have no idea! Garmin owe you a debt of gratitude, and so do I.

I'm working on a section 6b app.php/ZXT-P54a
It's to do with using the Traffic informtation.
Just a few pages with screen shots and explanations. Not complet yet, but there's nothing wrong with you seeing it grow !!

I will follow this in the next week with descriptions of how to set it up.

I've also been dabbling with making the pages responsive - ie make them better for viewing on a portrait screen.
So for these pages only - the pictures are side by side with the text, but on a tall narrow screen, the pictures drop underneath the text.
It's not pretty, its not polished. Its sort of clunky but it works (sort of).
