1) The CarPlay/Android Auto mirroring system drains the phone's battery and won't last a full day of driving.
2) A tablet with a full-featured Android OS and navigation installed in this tablet cannot display incoming messages or show incoming calls.

The only exception is DMD — a partial ...

-Smartphones & carplay/androidauto mirrors are somewhat workable.

What is the issue with the SmartPhone/Mirror solution? The way I see it, using MRA Routeplanner & MRA Navigation, that seems like an excellent solution. Plus, I never need another Gamin device again.

Garmin wants to make BaseCamp (BC) impossible.


I don't think that this is the case. There are still plenty of users of Zumos prior to the XTs and other bits of hardware which are all supported by Basecamp. I believe that they have discontinued support and development - but the program is ...

When did you see that the return route had no Shaping Points ? When you imported it into MRA, or when you loaded it into the Zumo?

After lunch, when I loaded the route into the Zumo XT2. It was surprising to me since the outbound route worked without any issues.



I suspect that for the return ...

Unless @LQQK_OUT has discovered something that I have been unable to find the XT2 does not have Mass Storage Mode either.


According to the Zumo XT2 Owner's Manual it does.

I suspect the return route was created by riding the route while recording the track, then the route was created from the track, with no further editing to add ...

I appreciate all the information people have been providing in this tread. Thank you!
I'd like to provide some more detail and maybe someone can educate me in what I could have done diffrently.
1. I attended a charity motorcycle run with a few of my friends.
2. The club organizing the run provided ...

Here is some background information.
I went on a charity motorcycle run this past weekend. Along with a route sheet, I had one of the club members send me the GPX route and track. There were a total of four files, two GPX files for the "outbound" portion of the run (route and track files) and two ...

OK. I think this has something to do with creating a route from a track within Basecamp.
So, the question I have is:
If I create a route from a track within Basecamp, can I take the created Waypoints and generate an exact same (or very similar) copy of the original track from the new route? I don't ...

The gpx file specifies curvy roads
<trp:CalculationMode>CurvyRoads</trp:CalculationMode>


What options do I have to check within Basecamp (route options) to get the same route when I recalculate the route? I can't seem to duplicate this. Whenever I recalculate the route, it's different from ...
