Do you keep all maps selected then? If they overlap this isn't a good idea and can cause numerous issues. Perhaps you've found the cause of your problem. On my side I only have the City Navigator Europe NTU maps ( North + South) enabled + the other stuff shipping standard with the ZÜmo. The "o...

The question for me now is whether shortening the import calculation time is worth the effort of manually adding those POI's rather than adding them from Search. The problem is that when the GPS is running on the battery, the operation times out (or fails I don't know) and the trip is not imported....

I started as a software developer writing software for a company making microchips (CPUs, memory etc). Then managed the IT operations of a small datacenter . Moved again (shortly) to an engineering job then a presales job (answering RFPs, the technical part of the proposals). Then the last 4 years b...

I have yet to find out from Chris where his waypoints came from. I have assumed that they came from Basecamp, but that might be an incorrect assumption. They could have come from a friend and they were then loaded into Basecamp. I did not load any specific POI database. They come from Basecamp (if ...

I found at least one reason why the GPS calculates a route when importing it in the trip planner. This happens when the route contains points coming from the search tool (first picture, search for "col de la chambotte") search chambotte.png A "searched point" inserted in the rout...

Bravo to @jfheath who was able to produce a version of my route which loads in almost no time on my GPS. Problem may come from how some of the points and how they are positioned on the map. At least I know it is possible to design routes that can load in almost no time when importing. Investigating ...

If you want to post a gpx of the route - or send it as a pm - I'll take a look see if mine does the same as yours. @chris7444 is absolutely correct. The XT comes up with very different routes from those produced by Basecamp, so you might want it to recalculate anyway - just so that you know what it...

I use a dedicated sat-nav because 1- I keep forgetting the sat-nav on the bike and the same would happen to the phone if I were to use Google Maps or Waze. I have my whole life on the phone. Don't want to lose it. 2- I could not find a good looking phone mount for my good looking bike (yes this was ...

Happy with all the answers. thank you so much.
btw: finally found the "reply with quote" button

@chris7444 Off-topic: In the past I have always made sure that no recalculation is done on the XT. But lately I send a track from the route to the XT, and make sure that the route does get recalculated. When all is done I verify that the track and trip on the XT are the same. Why do I do this? When...
