Regain For what it's worth, I have been using Closest Entry Point to start my routes for some time with good success. My theory on how it works is this ... the “Closet Entry Point” is the point where two routes meet. The first is the planned route. The second is a route calculated from the current l ...

Regain Can you share more about how you get routes from MRA to the XT2 via Tread? I have eliminated Tread from my world entirely, due, in part, to the fact that it changes existing and imported routes - see https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3007 . It would be helpful if Garmin ...

FrankB Thanks for the XT testing. Yes, this might be an XT2 specific thing. I'll keep an eye out for it and share anything I learn. Regain Something to consider for your long summer travel. For any non-trivial travel, I have been saving a copy of my routes on the sd card (gpx files). The XT2, Tread ...

Sorry FrankB , I could have been more clear. I do not think the reappearing routes have anything to do with Trip Manager. As, I said, Trip Manager is a great tool. I hope many other zumo XT and XT2 users give it a try. Based on what both I and Regain have seen, it appears that the zumo itself is ...

I had deleted routes reappear yesterday while using Trip Manager that FrankB was kind enough to share with all of us. (It is a great tool.) I'm not using the Tread app at all - no syncing to Explore database. I had created a route in a gpx file, then used Trip Manager's "Send to device" to send ...

So I'm a bit late to this post - sorry I don't look at The Other route planning software thread very often. Apparently I should. That is my video and my software (Track To Route or Trk2Rt) that lkraus referred to. I use Rever regularly for Route planning, partly because of its Butler Motorcycle Maps ...

@FrankB also has something in the pipeline - TripManager - already available for the XT1. It isn't quite working with the XT2, but I'm helping to get that sorted out. We had a breakthrough last week - which still requires a lot of testing. Well that sounds promising. Thank you FrankB and jfheath

JS_racer By explorer, I assume you mean the Garmin Explore web pages and the Explore data base (sorry, just being clear since Garmin uses the same names for multiple things). That Explore simply does not support shaping points at all. The issue of routes being changed seems to arise when the tread ...

Has anyone solved this problem? Not yet. There has been some indication from Garmin that they will have a fix for the route change issues sometime in 2025. I'm not aware of any solution to Tread only running on small screen devices. If you remove Tread entirely, then routes imported to the XT2 from ...

It would be even better if Garmin didn't force us to jump through these ridiculous work arounds in order to make their products useful!
