The problem with base camp is that it needs to connect to the Zumo XT to upload the maps. And it won't connect, therefore no planning possible!! Robert What kind of computer? If it's a Mac you will need Android File Transfer (free app) to connect an XT. If Windows, you'll need help from others in t...

Don't give up yet! I have owned a bunch of GPSes over many years and this phrase you posted is key to the problems you are having: "Importing tracks from other systems..." Trying to get consistency between different units, different software, and different maps can drive you crazy. This is...

...Be sure the powered side of the SAE connection uses the insulated socket for positive. This is very important advice. Some SAE cables swap polarity, such as the alligator clip harness that comes with some battery tenders. You need a multimeter to make sure of polarity -- even a cheap one will do...

Thanks for trying. I don't see this problem with all routes, so I'm scratching my head.

Not so fast. It seems like the XT just hates roundabouts. I created a different brand new route by "tracing" a track with the route tool and it looked fine in BC. It did the same crazy thing once active on the XT. And at another roundabout 30 miles away. The only thing that sort of worked ...

VFR, that is very interesting. I have to wonder if the route has corrupt code in it, especially where it is an old one. I'll try creating a new one and see if that changes things.

EDIT: That fixed it.

"In your roundabout, there is some weird routing going on - it looks like the traffic flow is the wrong way round on the exit at the 10 o clock position. I'd say mapping error." That's what I think as well. The purple stripe would have me riding into oncoming traffic. People here are dumb...

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 ...
