Re: Adding Symbols to your route and create collections

Nobody tried it? Am I the only one with this need? You may be. I prefer cleaner & simpler routes. Your map already look cluttered to me in your posted map screenshot, I can't imagine stuffing all that onto a small gps screen. I like to delete more of the symbols and labels for when I zoom in. I...

Re: XT is convinced an open road is closed

For me this is a common thing as well as routing across closed railroad tracks and doing anything possible to avoid a small town's downtown area. I don't know why it does these but I'll often disconnect the Bluetooth and take my chances without re-rerouting. 98% of the time I'm right, and the times ...

Re: Discussion about backups and alternate databases

I use the List Folder/List structure in Base Camp, exporting files only when I want to share them, and after sharing I often delete the exported file. I won't need it for anything. I simply give each one a meaningful file name to begin with, right there is BC. It's good enough for me as it seems I a...

Re: Shaping points converting to way points

I used the "Custom" suggestion from rbentnail above. It seemed to work when transferring to the unit. I then saved the routes (exported) to my hard drive both as GPX and GDB. When I open these saved files in BC neither are saved as "Custom" routes, both have reverted back to the...

Re: Will XT ignore a planned waypoint stop if you continue riding?

Let's say that I'm on a route on my XT and I'm riding along and I intentionally on purpose bypass a planned route point (waypoint) without stopping there, will the XT force me to do a u-turn and go back? what if I don't wish to go back and want to continue on? Short answer- yes. You must pass over ...

Re: Does the Zumo XT track miles?

I'm interested in buying a zumo xt for my Honda XR650L adventure/single track bike. I ride probably 80 street 20 off road. I bought a set of black KKE wheels and now I lost my mechanical speedometer. I have been running a trail tech vapor for a few months but it might be a defective unit because it...

Re: Bleeping nav 5

Hi guys I have gone into settings and switched off any alerts etc and will see if that makes a difference. Bleeping occurred whether or not a phone was linked. I'll report back (once it stops raining!) Thanks Peobody found and led me to the place for turning off school zone alerts. They still beepe...

Re: Music PLayer

I'm not going to worry about it too much as the music sounds a little better when going from phone to headset directly as opposed to being funneled through the XT2. Besides, I just put on a playlist and can control it from my headset directly better if I do at all. I tried last year with my XT, pho...

Re: CN NA 2025.10

Good point @rbentnail. It's sometimes difficult to get the right balance between Making a simple straight forward statement - which is accurate, to the point and is not cluttered with additional 'how-to' information Making a lengthy post which gives all of the necessary detail. This method runs the...
