Re: Any tips to fix RUT without computer?

I'll try to answer everyone so far...

Peobody: I've been to your neck of the woods many times and the riding there is superb. Staying in Bryson City and then Little Switzerland.

Frank B: What goes wrong is that without actually starting the route, ie sitting at my desk, there is no option to save ...

Any tips to fix RUT without computer?

I'm off on a nice 2500-mile trip to the NC/TN mountains in a few weeks and I have pre-loaded a bunch of routes and used the Trip Repair Tool to make them all "Saved" routes.

But as we all know, there can be glitches that require re-loading (importing) a route from the SD card.

I seem to recall ...

Version 6.60 fixes RUT?

Just saw a post on Facebook that suggests new firmware fixes RUT on imported routes in the XT2. For me (XT1) the big question is should I get an XT2 or will an update fix my zumo, or hold out for an XT3? Tough choices.

Yes, I know how to fix imported routes, but it is time consuming and I had one ...

Re: Loading BC GPX files into XT3

The only time I have seen this happen (XT1) is when the map I used in BC and the one in the XT are not the exact same version. You probably know this, but thought I'd ask just in case.

Re: NFC fault - battery not charging

I see two clues but can't suggest a fix. How long do you think the battery was "almost flat?" It's possible the protective circuit that disables a very low battery kicked in. It's purpose is to prevent charging a truly dead battery, which can cause overheating or fire.

The second is Morocco. Did ...

Re: XT3 crash (hopes of a decent nav dashed)

Nobody likes to come here to read insults being swapped, so I will not add to that. However, I do want to point out that an intermittent connection to vehicle power, such as with dirty or damaged pins in the XT cradle, can and does cause shutdowns, crashes, and other bad behavior. Removing an XT ...

Re: Weird navigation lately

Two thoughts. I'm not familiar with HERE maps, but if they differ in even the tiniest detail from the maps in your XT, the chance for errors increases. Same for using MRA to lay out routes. Not saying it can't or shouldn't be done, but it involves the need to check resulting routes in your XT turn ...
