Everything that gets hold of your GPX file will want to do its own thing with it. I have witnessed Tread ignoring shaping points and head for the nearest, fastest road. Another shaping point or two usually nails it in place. I now don't use shaping points when using the XT2 and Tread. One less ...

Do you want to use the weather etc features as well from the Smartphone Link?

It looks to me that only if you disable the Smartphone Link completely will there be no chance of seeing any traffic alerts.

That's pretty useless IMO.

Nothing posted in here for the last month, so is no news, good news? Or no news, as you've binned the controller?

However, thinking about the Route I modified on the XT and rode, the route was not a good route for a test. The first 40km is motorway, the next 50km is winding road across a range. There are few/nil parallel or alternative roads (none faster), so I expect the XT, try as it might, was limited in ...

“especially a petrol station or viewpoint, and if there is, I make it into my own waypoint” but you would need to make sure this Waypoint is moved to the centre of the magenta route, if not already, would you not? I don't normally. Sometimes the points location can be seen to give some silly rou ...

I tend to use shaping points in between A and B then look to see if there's a known POI on that road, especially a petrol station or viewpoint, and if there is, I make it into my own waypoint, after checking that it does exist in Google Earth. I then delete the shaping point and check it's no longer ...

I'd try to look at the track the GPS says you were doing when the routing became a problem. The 590 etc rubber band themselves to where the road is displayed, so if the road isn't correctly placed then weirdness can occur. If you post the track, then someone with USA mapping might be able to see if ...

If I'm away for a couple of weeks and have a dozen plus routes then I'll only transfer them to a SD card in the GPSR and import them as necessary, ie a day plus next days. I'll delete ones that are no longer needed as well to keep it clearer. Using a logic of eg D1, D2, D3 for Day 1, 2 3 etc at the ...

Does it still prevent the XT2 from downloading maps to the computer?
