Re: Thoughts on "closest entry point"
@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...

Re: mappa Michelin
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...

Re: Michelin map
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...

Re: Garmin Vehicle Power Cable With Extra USB Charging Port
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.

Re: Firmware for Group Ride Radio?
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.

Re: XT is convinced an open road is closed
Good point about Google maps. My wife checked Route 6 on her phone and it was green all the way.

XT is convinced an open road is closed
This strikes me as a problem caused by the traffic reporting service that the XT "subscribes" to, but thought I'd share. Last night we asked the XT to route us home from a restaurant during torrential rain. It certainly would be possible for various roads here on Cape Cod to be closed due ...

Re: Music stops and getting unwanted U turns ZUMO XT
I find that with most (but oddly, not all) map updates, I need to recalculate existing routes in Basecamp and then transfer to my XT. This can be a PITA because they then need (I think) to be "fixed" using the JaVaWa tool to prevent repeated U-turns, but that inconvenience is less than hav...

Re: CN NA 2025.10
Another data point. I'm on an iMac and sometimes need to run apps as Administrator. I did not have to do that in this case.

Re: CN NA 2025.10
Just to add a data point. I updated the map on my XT over WiFi and it took only about 20 minutes. This beats the crippled USB connection I had been using. But to get 2025.10 into Basecamp, I of course had to use same. But imagine my astonishment when it took less than 10 minutes. Is this a new deal,...
