Cross Routes and Old Routes

I'm still in the early days of working out how I would like my XT configured, and after a trial run yesterday I came up with a couple of oddities. Having loaded GPX through Garmin Drive and converted to a track, I only received partial voice commands. I could see on the map an upcoming left turn tha...

Re: Average Speed Zone

Made me smile ... The one stand out feature the XT doesn't have it seems is the Average Speed Zones, and the Safety Camera warnings are better on the "other brand"

Re: Average Speed Zone

Thanks for the link. My problems are more fundamental. Whenever the XT is connected basecamp crashes. I've tried two different machines, installation orders & different USB leads. It seems I'm not alone a few people have the same problem. Luckily I found the video on MyRouteApp and Garmin Drive ...

Re: Average Speed Zone

After a lot of grief with Basecamp, I found how to send GPX routes from MyRouteApp direct to the XT - Be gone Basecamp and don't ever come back.

Speed cameras a better on the TomTom, but in every other respect, the XT wins.

Re: Average Speed Zone

I bought one. No regrets, but you guys must have the patience of a saint. Basecamp is from the 1980s. Loading a GPX and then convert it to a trip ... errr ... why? What is it with the straight lines on the map, even though I've converted it to a route, which it is also showing me. And as for getting...

Re: Average Speed Zone

Cool. Thanks, Simon. Much appreciated. It looks like the one thing TomTom does slightly better is deal with speed cameras. But then again there is always CamSam from the people (I think) who run and maintain the SCDB database. Back on the fence over kicking the TomTom for the XT - Heart wants one - ...

Average Speed Zone

For the past 3 years, I have had a love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with my TomTom Rider 550. The final straw came recently when it navigated me off a dual carriageway and into a housing estate. Whereas the instructions kept coming and I arrived at my destination, I could not find this turn on a...
