Alternative Route

Tomtom has a great feature to choose alternative routes for a route you are already in. It shows the alternatives options in different colours and displays the additional time. Anyone know of a way to do this with thew XT2? Closest thing I found it starting the route over again and choosing Adventur...

Re: ZUMO XT2 CONCLUSIONS

I sold my XT to buy an XT2 because of the ‘easy’ route planning with the Tread app. Only tried it a couple times but it’s terrible from what I have seen so far. Why is it so hard to Garmin to make routing software that works and easy to use

Re: Routes Prepared in MyRouteApp - Used with XT

You are probably asking too much of it - possibly due to the different way that routes and tracks are used in MRA and in Explore. There's something about this here, but its been a while since I wrote this, and MRA, Explore and the XT have all had software updates since then. https://www.zumouserfor...

Re: Routes Prepared in MyRouteApp - Used with XT

I keep getting "cannot calculate route" with MRA created routes. I've tried syncing them through Explore and direct but get the same error I do not get the error with Calimoto though Garmin really need to this stuff out as the unit itself is great but the method of routing is pure garbage...

Re: Enormous traffic pane

Then you miss other information you might want as you're limited to the two boxes at the bottom. Older Zumo units were able to display four at the bottom

Re: Enormous traffic pane

I regret buying mine as well for this reason. Tomtom’s screen layout is far better in terms of information.

Garmin waste far too much screen realestate yet provide less information. Why not fill the entire bottom section with tiles of data??
