Zumo User Forums

A friend who plans one of our annual trips is a staunch MS Streets and Trips user (2013 version!). He loads these into an older Garmin Drive navigator for his bike. I end up converting his exports through GPS Babel and then importing into Basecamp for a sanity check and to use in my own Zumo XT. As ...

I have observed that if I travel at 50mph on a 60mph road, it will adjust my ETA - seemingly as though it assumes that I will travel at 50mph on 60mph roads all the way to my destination. This makes sense to me. I think my BMW does the same thing with fuel Range-to-Empty using some average consumpt...

I regret that I didn't first think about the Direct trick for routing along unpaved stretches as an alternative to messing with profiles. The Direct trick worked well for me earlier this year and I think it would be fine closing the small gap in the example route I used in this thread. The area I'm...

LOL...I learned this back in June on a different thread to which you responded. It helped me fix a pesky routing bug that insisted I cross over the road I wanted to use instead of just turning.

Wow, that is the most succinct description of the XT's behavior that I've seen yet! Thank you, I think I'm starting to get it. Nice to know I was heading in the right direction and now I know why. You made a suggestion early that I agree should reduce the chances of a deviation in the event of a rec...

Just before the dirt portion begins, add a via point called something like "Follow Track". Display both route and track on the XT. You will be warned when you are approaching a point where the route might diverge, so you can follow the just the track until it rejoins the route. This is a ...

Thank you, jfheath . I've been using the third option you cite and it works great. With the addition of some light dirt roads to my trips I anticipate an occasional recalculation, whether essential or an unforced error on my part. I'm hoping to keep that to a minimum. I have a brain ache from workin...

I'm hopeful that I'm just missing some minor detail. I actually depend on via point announcements for such things as designate fuel stops, hotel info, etc. At this point I'm considering changing the Motorcycle profile to allow for Unpaved Roads and letting all my old routes recalculate. I'm not sure...

I've tried a few different combinations of setting with the same result. First, my BaseCamp and Zumo Motorcycle and Zumo Driving profiles are configured to match, particularly in that they both allow Unpaved Roads. The image below is after importing from the SD card and it shows the correct route. h...

That's exactly what I've done so far. My "ADV Riding" profile differs from Motorcycle only by unchecking Unpaved Roads. Based on my understanding the route would transferred exactly but then would be recalculated because my Motorcycle profile in the Zumo XT does not allow for Unpaved Roads...
