Hi @jfheath. It is exactly that: the first xml content corresponds to waypoints in basecamp converted to viapoint (one shown) and to shaping point (one shown). For the second xml content, the shown viapoint and shaping point were created by the route tool in BC, without going through waypoints first...

@jfheath: some additional informations about investigations of the incidence of the subclass _text of the RoutePointExtension (gpxx data) on the alteration or not of the name of via or shaping points on the XT2. As highlighted by jfheath, if the route created in basecamp in based on predefined waypo...

What I still have to investigate further is for what usage the possibility to declare in MRA an MRA waypoint (shaping or via) as "Favorite" exists in MRA (clicking on a waypoint,chosing the "..." option and then the star option) . Could that be a mean to help in this problem and...

I didn't do anything to my created POI except add it to the POI list in 'Manage'. That seemed to cause it to appear in the gpx file when I saved it. The 'Manage' section of POIs seems to be only concerned with the currently selected route - ie if I switch to another route, my A50 POI isn't listed. ...

If I define a POI in MRA, and provided I attach the POI to the route as a POI (using the + symbol in the edit panel of the POI in MRA which leads to two options, one beeing "as POI" ), it is treated as a Garmin Waypoint when the gpx file is imported on the XT2 and it is included in the Wa...

Be aware that my analysis is far from having the depth of yours.
My comments are only based on first use trials and of course corresponding findings can be incomplete or wrong in some ways…
I will check if the POIs I transferred in my testing include only existing MRA POI or not.

But there are two things that put me off using it a great deal. 1. The route that contains the plot of the route - using the gpxx extensions (ghost points) does not contain shaping points - they are scrubbed out. 2. Waypoints cannot be defined in MRA so that they transfer to the Zumo Favourites. Wh...

For the XT2 The names of points first created and saved as Waypoints are never altered. Via and Shaping On the XT2, if the link with the explore db is active , the shaping points are also modified (name and position) after sync, even if first created and saved as Waypoints in BC.(For the via points...

Test done. Via points and shaping points defined directly in Basecamp with the "new route" tool, without going through waypoints first. After transfer to the XT2, the names of the via points are unaltered but the names of the shaping points are completely changed again. The order number is...

Quick question about your last paragraph. You say the shaping point names do not get altered by the XT2 when they are transferred from Basecamp. In fact this is a copy of the shaping points on the imported route on the XT2: ShapingPointsXT2JustAfterImport.png It can be compared with the correspondi...
