Re: Change Map Name in Installed Map List?

I knew somebody would have a better solution! JaVaWa Device Manager has a nice feature that shows you the area covered by a map. This really helps when creating a meaningful name for the map set. Device Manager still requires the device to have a mass storage mode, which the XT lacks. To change the ...

Re: Change Map Name in Installed Map List?

That's correct, the filename on the SDcard is unrelated to the name displayed in Basecamp or the name displayed on the XT in MyMaps. As an a example, I downloaded an OSM map for the Caribbean (because it was fairly small) and installed it in Basecamp, then used MapInstall to load it on my XT. I copi...

Re: Change Map Name in Installed Map List?

One option, IF the maps do not overlap, is to just make all the OSM maps active. That is a big IF, because if they do overlap, the XT will produce some strange results. There might be another solution to this problem, but I use JaVaWa IMGName to change the name of the map set. On the XT recognition ...

Re: Ordering parts?

What parts do you need?

For nuts, bolts or other common items I'd just see my local hardware store.

Re: Tread app drains battery on Android phone

By coincidence, I just uninstalled the Drive app because it was always running in the background. My phone gets little use as a phone, mostly I use it to read ebooks, listen to audiobooks and music, check the weather, do a little forum browsing. I noticed last week that Drive was always the biggest ...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint

Regarding terminology (Waypoint, Via Point, Shaping Point), notice in your route points list that some are gray and contain "won't alert". Those are Shaping Points. The others are Via Points (alerting). All are referred to as Waypoints. I think the use of "waypoint" when referri...

Re: Zumo XT power cable

Strip the outer insulation, unbraided the shielding wires and twist them together to splice and solder to the black lead. A multimeter will confirm that the XT uses the shield as the negative connection. The center wire is the positive, splice to the red lead. Be sure the powered side of the SAE con...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint

Basecamp makes it quick and easy to verify that your route points are properly placed on the road. Open the route to see the list of route points. Check the "Center map" box on the lower left. Select the first point, the map will automatically pan and zoom to center and highlight the point...

Re: 2025.10 Maps on Zumo 550

City Navigator North America has grown to over 5 GB.

I suspect the "clone" USB has more storage capacity than a 550.
