Hi Peobody yes its just documented way of making it work, if you go off route it will and can take you back and pick up the route/track again. This is nothing that I have invented its just putting many peoples things together and finding it works. I did a many crossover test first time starting from...

Hi John Thanks for the very detailed PDF file and the link to the good Basecamp Videos and wish I had found them much earlier... The details is my document show how to resize the Theme and change the colours to make them indivual and how to import or open the track anbd then run the route together w...

Interested to see the issues with XT2 and as I have had Zumo unitd for many years there are issues that have not been resolved, like not transfering travel conditions and speeds set in BC but allowed to not to be passed over. I'm very happy with BC and find the new App transfer to be a pain, not to ...

Thanks for the reply and I will take a look at the links... after years of fighting the garmin routing ways from the 550 to XT I was suprised that somethiong had not be really published. I came across a couple of videos and put 2+2 and made 5. If I have reinvented the wheel so be it.. I'll have a lo...

The Garmin GPS doe have a way ot going off route even after spending hours planning a route and puttinbg in waypoints and many shaping points and when it goes wrong the reply seems to be not enough shaping points.... :oops: So after a going through videos and and information I have documented a way ...

The GPS is the master and all other items are slaves and can only listen or talk at once so the GPS is the master switch and has to possible look at returning back to what it was doing before and it may even require relinking to a...

Thanks. Another question is, does Basecamp knows if the high passes are closed in the winter? I'm trying to make a route in the Alps, but it's taking me around some passes. Google maps will show blocked and closed roads but Garmin works off the maps on the GPS which are not live... the XT has a fun...

Thanks for the reply and glad I'm not the only one that sees the issue, I have used Basecamp for many years and plan routes for trip on the bikes using the A7076 last year, did a ride while staying in Carlisle up to Moffatt and back down to Carlisle, before doing the Lakes in a day. https://youtu.be...

Hi have an XT and noted that the calculation of travelling to a point is strange, so what have Garmin done to the software to turn a 10 mile trip into a 32 mile, take me through towns up and down hill when the Zumo 595 and 590 plus TT take me the route direct +/- 2 mile. All are set for the fastest ...
