Re: Poll : Curious about the Zumo XT2 ? Read on....

I have a 396, 590 and 595 as well as the XT. Order of usage is 595, 590, 396 and lastly the XT. The 595 / 590 do routing that is how I'm used to on Garmins. The 396 and XT both have the "fastest" route type errors, but with the 396 not having to save routes so that they avoid the RUT. If t...

Re: "Faster Time" over 100 mph/

It sounds like you're running up against the "fastest" routing option on the XT where it lazily uses the fastest roads instead of a route which takes less time.. More knowledgeable people will probably ask to see a copy of the problematic route to see if they have the same problem as yours...

Re: Faster vs Fastest

I have a 'theory' about the XT's Faster Time Algorithm. This is just an idea. I haven't seen it fall over yet, but I haven't done much riding recently. if there is a faster road nearby which can be used to get you to the next route point, it will head for the faster road If the faster road is close...

Re: 396 recognises UK destination, then sends me to France!

Just done all that… factory reset, no extra maps, decent signal, also turned off history when prompted which apparently turns off some sort of predictive find function. Then i clicked > where to > trip planner > new trip > + add location (no start location) entered ‘leyburn’ as 2nd location (first ...

Re: 396 recognises UK destination, then sends me to France!

Tried it on my 396. Using the "Where to option" and using the "Search near" option search area at the top right of the screen. Have CN EU 2025.10 as the mapping and 3.60 software. When you see "Colburn" or "Hornby", I'll guess you select the address that shows...

Re: Zumo xt no speed limit info

I recently updated my 396 via GE and only have 3 maps showing on the unit as being on it,

CN Europe NTU Foursquare 2025.10, and
CN Europe NTU 2025.10 ALL South and
CN Europe NTU 2025.10 ALL North

Speed limits showing as I would expect on a quick simulated route.

Re: Zumo xt no speed limit info

Did you carry out any mapping updates before the lack of speed limit information? I noticed on one CN EU update the speed limit info for roads which it previously had was no longer shown, and, some speed limits were wrong. I use the pocketworldgps speed camera database as this also helps get some mo...

Re: Maps not updating on a 595

I called up Garmin UK support and apparently my 595, bought second-hand, has a "travel edition" maps ie worldwide and so the CN EU maps are not the only ones when I update it, so it'll be a different update to the 590 etc I have. Looked on Basecamp and see no difference between the CN and ...
