Re: Planned distance not making sense

If you can't install Basecamp, for whatever reason, you could try MRA: https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/

In addition to an App for IOS and Android, it is also webbased. Lots of people like it, so it must provide reasonable to good results. (Although I still prefer Basecamp)

Re: Waypoint moved 25 miles out of position after uploading from BC

The waypoint at Charlbury is actually included in the route twice. The XT has problems with waypoints included multiple times in a route, see: https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=17656&hilit=import+route#p17656 You could try to duplicate and rename the waypoints so their names will...

Re: XT routing offroad despite avoidances

I would look at the routable maps that are checked in 'MyMaps'.
Keep City Navigator checked. Uncheck others like Topo, or OSM.

Re: Trip Planner Routes

Do you have a clue why a newly saved route on the XT sorts to the top? I'm guessing! The newly created route has a new begin point. That new begin point will have the mArrival field set to zero. Will need testing. I haven't tested whether doing this as a way to flip the mimport bit also sort to the...

Re: Trip Planner Routes

The mArrival bytes in the .trip file may be a red herring as far as this is concerned. John, I may not have explained it quite correctly. The mArrival field is stored for every Begin/Via/Shaping and End point. The sorting of the trips, routes, rowts or whatever you pronounce them, is done on the mA...

Re: Trip Planner Routes

If Trips (what we have been calling "routes") are sorted by date/time, what date/time is being used? The .trip files have, for every Shaping/Via/Begin and End point, a field called 'mArrival'. This field is set to nonzero if a BC route has the departure date/time set. Unfortunately it is ...

Re: Trip Planner Routes

I know that this post is about trips (routes) and not tracks, but just to confirm. I agree that trips are Sorted on date/time, but Tracks are sorted on proximity. This is something to keep in mind when you start a trip and want to display the corresponding track (with the same name as the trip) on t...

Re: Trip Planner Routes

@Peobody
Very unlikely that changing the mimported byte has an effect.
But to change it, you have to 'save' the trip file on the XT, thereby changing the file date. Maybe that has a side effct?

Re: After map updating routs do not match roads

1. Send them again from Basecamp to the XT. (Delete them first on the XT to be sure)
2. On the XT. Change the calculation method to 'Direct/ Straight lines' and then back to faster time.

For multiple routes I prefer option 1.
