Re: Planned distance not making sense
Are you familiar with Basecamp ? I have recreated the route in Bascamp. It took me about 25 minutes - but that was because I was recording a video of the screen and commentating. It could be done in 5 mins. Steps. Create a new list folder Create 2 new lists in the list folder. Call them Route, Track...

Re: Planned distance not making sense
The issue with the mileage is quite common. In order to speed up processing, the software tends to take shortcuts, and doesn't actually re-calculate the entire route unless you specifically ask it to. Also Kurviger plots a route that is made up of straight lines, rather than one which follows the ro...

Re: Planned distance not making sense
Apologies - I removed the GPX file from Bob's post because when I downloaded it, it had the appearance of a track log which recorded the date time and speed of an actual ride. And since this seemed to suggest that Bob was going along roads at 150mph, I thought it best not to have such a file on a pu...

Re: Planned distance not making sense
Screen shots ?? Or - send the gpx file that you sent from Basecamp to Explore . I'll see if I can reproduce it / find out what the issue is. ------------------ The following are observations that I made a couple of years ago when I looked into the behaviour in detail. It may have changed since then,...

Re: Zumo xt2 screen unresponsive
Thanks for the update. Did you have to return everything, or just the console ? What did the dealer say - they were going to return it to Zumo ? I always think that it is a pain having to remove wiring, which may involve removing fairing etc. But it is a nice bonus if you just return the unit, and g...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint
Actually, providing you have gon e through the start point, any route section consisting of only shaping points will behave in a similar way. Rejoin the route anywhere and it will continue navigating from where you are. It is easier to trust if you try it first with autorecalc disabled - you can mor...

Re: Talk to XT
That is the step that I have yet to confirm. Does the XT pass on voice commands to the phone. There is no reason why it shouldn't - it passes on two way phone communication - set up with the XT at the centre, there is no direct BT link between headset and phone. I stopped investigating when I realis...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint
The 660 was superb. Plot a route and you could join it anywhere - a fact that was an issue for the easily confused. Circular routes ending at the start point would issue the comment 'Arriving at Destination' and stop the route as soon as you set off. Figure 8 routes also caught people out as at the ...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint
There has been a lot of terminology descriptive in this discussion which I may now through a wrench into. I has been made clear that a Via Point is an alerting route point and Shaping Point is a non-alerting route point, but, I believe these points are treated differently depending on whether they ...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint
Triplog In your screen shot: Image1.png The points with orange flags are set as Via Points. Alerting. The points with blue discs are set as Shaping Points - Not alerting. This is how they would appear on the Zumo screen. Ignore the caption at the top which says that there are 6 Via Points. There ar...
