Is the route in Basecamp recalculated using the same map that's loaded on the XT? on mine it's 2027.1, for instance.

Re: XT3 Route Properties Display

Thanks. That's what I expected

The XT3 treats it like the XT2. The second and third are from the z590. I found that feature very useful and was hoping it had been brought back on the XT3.

I appreciate your screenshot to confirm.

XT3 Route Properties Display

Hello new XT3 owners! I'm hoping one of you can help me with two questions pertaining to the new XT3, as compared to the XT2 (that I currently have).

Can someone do a few screenshots of the TRIP DATA displayed on the navigation screen?
I ask because the XT2 fields were wastefully huge and took up ...

Re: Introducing TripManager



In the file explorer pane, I prefer to sort by date modified so the most recent files bubble to the top. It doesn't seem to retain this in subsequent sessions, but that would seem like a nice enhancement.


I checked last evening and it can be done. Will be included in the next version, that is ...

Re: Introducing TripManager

I just want to chime in here. I've been using Trip Manager to load trips to my XT2 for a month or so and it seems to improve the experience! Thanks for creating this tool.

A few 'frustrations' I'll note:

Re: Latest XT2/Tread software version



I'm using 2.9.55 and 4.8. I have mine set to not synch to explore/tread. I still get weather and traffic. I just used it last weekend and it worked great with my basecamp routes.

Memory is wonderful. I wish that I had such a thing.

I hear ya!!! :D

Glad you found it, because I wasn't sure ...

Tried 2.9.55 today

I'm resigning myself to ditching the Tread app and managing without weather info and traffic /road closure info.

Then I can use my Basecamp routes.

Re: Maximum Via and shaping points in a route for XT2

I think the XT2 plays by differnt rules in regards to route limitations. From the device document:

</CustomExtension>
<LimitExtension xmlns="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GarminDeviceExtensions/Limits/v1">
<MaxRoutes>2147483647</MaxRoutes>
<MaxRoutePts>32768</MaxRoutePts ...
