I have a relatively short local route that is driving me nuts. It was created many versions of maps and GPS models ago, so I knew I would have to recalculate it using the latest CN NA NT and once imported to Trip Planner, "fix" it using the JaVaWa tool. It displays just fine in Basecamp, w...

@PaulaRay, You are exporting the entire "list" known as "Day11 169mi." Try this instead: select that list and in the bottom portion of the BC window, scroll down to just the route itself. Select it and use "Export Selected User Data." This has always worked for me, wher...

Li-ion batteries can be fussy. Their preferred long term storage state is 80% charge. A fast way to kill them is to run them down until they shut down (usually around 10-20%, at which point they try to prevent damage by not allowing further drain) and then let them sit for weeks, at which time they ...

Thanks for your help once again... I did try that a couple times but, I'll give it another try. I'm also thinking about deleting all off the SD card and re-importing them all. Some kind of glitch going on :roll: Thanks again, appreciate it. Ray I only had this happen once, and it was a while ago, b...

@jfheath. Thank you for the reply and your testing details, which are certainly helpful. Chasing answers during the changing evolution by Garmin must have added to your fun! I have taken some time to digest what you shared. If I understand them correctly, your results seem to be consistent with wha...

in fact that would be what I would like to avoid! plan only in basecamp and not make the itinerary on an app and then check it again on basecamp, but basecamp has no references for example on scenic roads or anything else to travel, or at least, I haven't seen or understood them yet... consider tha...

I learned the following lesson the hard way when helping to plot GPS routes for the Scooter Cannonball (coast to coast Vespa race). Small differences in how maps are drawn can make big differences in how routes behave on a GPS. One particular route point from a Google map, for example, placed it jus...

I'm tempted to bite the bullet and purchase another bike mount and cable for use in my car. I hate that using the USB port in the car setup means lots of stress on the XT's port as you plug and unplug every time you take the unit down or put it in the mount.

I just installed it, not because I have any use for it, but because I was tired of getting nagged on my XT, iPhone and Apple Watch with numerous alerts that "new firmware" was available. Takes less than 2 seconds to install and doesn't seem to have broken anything. Yet.

Good point about Google maps. My wife checked Route 6 on her phone and it was green all the way.
