Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

Take it back. I guess they have given you one that someone else had returned previously ?

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

Still working on this - I've had some success with the playlist from VLC, but hit a snag for which I need to use Microsoft Word. Do you have Microsfot Word ? Actually - as well as that info - send me a playlist file that you created on VLC. I'll modify it and send it back. See if it works. I'll PM y...

Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

Yes - they do not come fully charged. Plug it into a USB adapter = I always use a 2A one - most are less than that and don't seem to work effectively. A Wall socket with a 5v 2.1A will work just as well. Make sure that it doesn't go into file transfer mode. The top right hand corner battery icon wil...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

There is no need to edit the .M3U files manually, or resort to spreadsheets. (Would you do that to create a route, or would you use Basecamp?) I got the impression that VeeBee had exhausted all of the options like that that were available to him ! It worked though, but not straight forward - except...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

What I was meaning in my last post - if you use the Zumo to create a playlist then access that from wherever it has stored it, you get something like this. Well - exactly like this, becasue I have just done it. #EXTM3U #EXTINF: -1, The Boys of Summer.mp3 3:/MP3/Don Henley/The Boys of Summer.mp3 #EXT...

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

The above methods should work after a fashion. But if you create a small playlist on the Zumo and then create a small playlist on Media player (or whatever) and compare the results You will see that there is a difference in how the files are referenced. So you know what it is that you have to modify...

...select the first point, press SHIFT or CTRL (I never remember) on the keyboard select the last point, they will all be selected.... Press the first. Holding CTRL allows you to select any number of individual points - they do not have to be next to each other. Holding SHIFT after selecting the fi...

Re: Pairing Zumo 660 with Cardo EDGE?

@jfheath: I managed to pair the 660 and the Edge. The vital hint you gave me was to pair it as 2nd phone on the Edge side. On the ZUMO side I used the Audio channel. Now it works as I want: Edge Phone 1 <-> My cellphone Edge Phone 2 <-> Zumo 660 (Audio channel). Also, it seems that one has to switc...

Re: Where I've Been App

CurrentTrackLog has all of the tracks since 16 April 2024. My CurrentTrackLog has all my tracks. The Current file has no tracks. The Temp file has no tracks. Yes, that is quite likely. Those two files are not used for the recorded tracks. Temp.gpx contains all of the data that was last transferred ...
