XT2 - How do you Create a Route with Waypoints on the XT2 - Solved
Posted: Tue May 28, 2024 11:18 am
Help Please: Up until now, all Zumos have had a facility to build a route using points located by the Zumo itself.
I'm not talking about the Route Planner map. I was expecting to be able to build a route up from saved locations or by searching. Create the route list, save it, Zumo calculates a route. Just like we could on the XT, 590, 595, 660, .....
Am I missing something ? What is the purpose of saving Waypoints, if you cannot build a route from them ?
Update
Its OK - I found it. Sort of.
You need to have created a route with a start and an end point, and it has to be named and saved.
After that you can load the route from Apps -> Routes. The map that is displayed has a button - 'List'.
You can then use the familiar list to select a point (the start) tap the plus button + and select how you want to find your new place. A Very full list of options is provided - including waypoints and search of Michelin, Trip Advisor, ......) It adds it as a Via Point.
It may be changed to a shaping point, but it will likely be located on the fastest route between adjacent via points. I do not see the point in that, and is an issue carried over from the 595 and XT. I could not add a new point after a shaping point.
I think I will have a ready made two point route, load that and make a copy (the option exists on the menus), then edit the copy.
