Re: Any tips to fix RUT without computer?

My RUT experience has always been the result of first having skipped a point then going off-route and allowing it to recalculate. To be clear, RUT is not repeated u-turn prompts that are trying to get you to visit a Via point that you missed.


And having the track displayed will only help in this ...

Re: Any tips to fix RUT without computer?

My comment would be the same as what Oop North John said. I don't understand why it didn't work at home though, provided you were testing it with a local route that started from your house (or close to it).

The way RUT gets fixed if by changing a bit (mimport) in the .trip file which is the file ...

Re: Hi from France

Welcome to the forum @Jeancap_31. I visited Paris once, although I don't consider a one-day Trafalgar tour out of London as much of a visit; more like I a dip of my little toe into France.

I'm glad you had the opportunity to ride over here. I hope we represented ourselves well.

Re: GE 7.28.1.0

GE 7.28.1.0 was announced on the Garmin forum on May14 sometime after I started this discussion. That announcement contained one release note:
Addressed an issue with Edge x40 devices stuck in a boot loop state

Re: The Zumo XT screen works great in sunlight


It certainly does! I put a cheap matte plastic phone screen protector on mine. Doesn't affect screen visibility much but it does cut down on the glare and sun reflection.


I did the same, though mine was less effective than what rbentnail reports. Reflection from my hi-viz jacket and helmet can ...

Re: Fun with shaping a route on the XT


Basecamp follows the same logic if you have three way / shaping points that cover a couple of miles and take out the middle one, inside of a long route, then it'll still recalculate the whole 2500+ miles route.


Good point. I should have made clear that the route I was shaping was a calculated ...

Re: Stop Zumo XT synching favourites?

I don't know what your process is so let me explain what I have figured out.

Via points contained in routes transferred to internal storage get automatically added to Favourites. How absurd, and absolutely frustrating. To prevent it, transfer routes to the SD card and then import them using Trip ...

Re: Fun with shaping a route on the XT


I gave up long ago trying to figure out how to shape a route on my XT. It never seems to behave the same way twice.


The was my experience. Attempt number two resulted in the expected result whereas attempt number one produced a route that made no sense at all. Thinking about it now, I'll bet ...

Fun with shaping a route on the XT

I am looking forward to taking a ride this afternoon and decided to shorten a route that I have on my XT. I figured I could just load it, save a copy, then shape the copy. Well, I was able to do that, but it was way harder than I expected it would be. I was surprised to find that a recalculation had ...
