Re: New xt2 ... using mra 1.1gpx problem with routes not importing

Wow, I'm really pissed off again right now. Just planned a route for Sunday, no problem, done in 10 minutes with the right planning tools. Then I quickly transfer this route to the Garmin. As expected, the Garmin XT2 and its software is a big pile of garbage. The route takes forever to calculate and ...

Re: DONT UPDATE GARMIN EXPRESS

It's probably done again, I installed the latest Garmin Express 7.25 update today. With Garmin Express 7.25 the option install on computer is available again . The option is available again, I will test whether it works later. In any case, I'm also keeping 7.23, you never know And I will probably ...

Re: Latest XT2/Tread software version

It's frustrating :-( The latest Tread app version is unfortunately still as bad as before, at least for my purposes. I thought the new Tread app would be better, but now I have tested it more intensively over the weekend and the result is a disaster. I need routes with shaping points, and these ...

Re: Latest XT2/Tread software version

[*]Basecamp maps can no longer be put onto the computer. Unless you have an older Zumo to plug in. Copying maps to the PC also works with XT2. For a Windows PC you might need an older Garmin Express version like Garmin Express 7.23 ! With version 7.24 there is unfortunately no such function ...

Re: Modifying Routes using the ZumoXT2 by itself.

Hi Sean OZ, I haven't seen the list you mentioned before. and I “only” have seen the virtual keyboard when I create a completely new route and then want to save it. Now to your problem, may helps a workaround. First create a copy of your original route. To do this, when the route is selected and ope ...

Re: Latest XT2/Tread software version

I haven't done a detailed test yet, but I still think it looks slightly better. Not really perfect, but better. My main problem is still that my planned shaping points are moved in the way Garmin probably wants for its route planning. On a positive note, I have noticed that the shaping point shifts ...

Re: Garmin Zumo XT2 roadblocks

Hello Durango Dave, you are describing a very serious problem with the Garmin route algorithms. Garmin unfortunately incapacitates the self-thinking or self-planning user far too often. Garmin planning often has an obscure life of its own. I have spent many a painful hour with it. Sometimes with and ...

Re: How to install OSM Maps in XT2

Is the SD formatted with FAT32? I would check that first. I myself only need European maps and use those maps from ‘Freizeitkarte’ , like https://www.freizeitkarte-osm.de/garmin/de/nordeuropa.html I down load the file end extract the zip, copy this *.img to the SD in the ‘Map’ folder. This works for ...
