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.

Re: Other satnavs

Basecamp works just fine with free Open Street Maps (.gmap format), and TomTom does contribute to OSM. I'm uncertain about the practicality and limitations of using a .GPX file in a TomTom, or converting a .GPX to an .ITN file. ITNConverter used to work but it has been decades since I played with it.

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

(continuing, hit Submit instead of Preview...) I created the playlists one folder at a time, entering a title for each manually. It might be possible to automate the process in MediaMonkey with a script but after fifteen years with MM, it is beyond my ability. (I can crop a picture in Photoshop, bu...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

Unlike the 660 and 59x Garmins, the XT and XT2 cannot act as "mappable" drives. Windows file managers see them as a media device, but they are never assigned a drive letter (C:\, D:\, etc.). That is a problem for most programs. I think you will have many more options if you remove the micr...
