Re: XT routing offroad despite avoidances

We are talking single tracks/green lanes in a couple of cases, so I’d be confident the mapping should have indicated them as such.

Re: XT routing offroad despite avoidances

I unchecked the Garmin topo maps, even though these are normally always checked alongside the CN ones.

I also have an OSM-based map (of the UK) in there, but it was already unchecked and it’s also non routable.

XT routing offroad despite avoidances

Hi all, apologies in advance for the "sparse" post, but I'm currently traveling on the bike and had no opportunity to take screenshots or "proofs". In short: my Zumo XT is mostly forcing to route me through unpaved/very minor roads through illogical/longer routes despite its sett...

Re: Anyone know what is included in "Basic" and "Most" Traffic Alerts?

Not sure there is any, at least with the last software update.

After disabling something like 30 traffic notifications in 5 miles, I first switched to "most" and then disabled the alerts, but my screen keeps getting overridden by the traffic alert panel.

Re: What ingenious way do you handle your XT when charging?

I don't charge it, but use it connected via USB sometimes.

I let it rest on the cable. It acts as a little stand.
If you place it on a desk gently, there is no risk of damage.

Re: Zumo XT: route miscalculation after update

"Most things in here don't react too well to bullets." Thanks jfheath . And, yes, the XT did a Crazy Ivan almost before I reached the entry point for the route. I don't have a picture of it, but I was curious about the triangle shape. Under certain circumstances - like if the closest point...

Re: Zumo XT: route miscalculation after update

Yes, it warned of a road closure. But that was when navigating towards the start of the route. Not on the route. But I see your point. To add a few details: – yes, the XT is connected to my phone in my backpack via bluetooth and gets traffic updates/data – I do not use any audio (no intercom) for th...

Re: Zumo XT: route miscalculation after update

What avoidances are set in the Zumo when it is in motorcycle mode (ie not car, not offroad). No route active. What routing preference is set ( shorter, faster, etc) when the Xt is in motorcycle mode ( No route active) Hi jfheath , on the Zumo: Calculation Mode Faster Time Avoidances U-Turns, Car Sh...
