Apologies - I was getting dizzy looking at the upside down images, so I turned them round (moderator privilege). I've seen on here that when transferring routes from Basecamp to the XT2 it gives them random names. I'm beginning to realise how frustrating this is. I have some routes and tracks on my ...

And close down Basecamp while using Express. That used to cause issues - although mine didn't today.

I will sometimes use that as an alert - it is a good technique, but I rarely mention it, so it is good to make that suggestion as well. Usually I put it after the point on the road that I will travel whether I visit the stopping place or not. If necessary I mark the cafe with a shaping point. If I d...

I'll add to that if I may Fxwheels There are different types of point (apart from start and finish) that can be used in a route. There are 'ad-hoc' points - Point and click without any real preparation There are 'Waypoints' - These have to be created and saved. They may then be used in a route. Neve...

So I have had a Garmin devices for many years, previously I always used Basecamp for route planning but (i think) it is no longer supported and the maps are not updated/the same versions as the newer devices such as the Zumo XT so it is not compatible. You can use Express to update the maps on the ...

Welcome to the forum ! Charging via USB port, but not via the cradle ? That suggests that the battery connection via that little white connector under the battery cover is OK. The pins often do not connect properly and need some tweaking - but if it is charging via the usb cable, that method uses th...

Create a track of each of your finished routes, and display those as well. Then if the route does something odd, you still have a line to follow that will not alter. How to do that ? Collections is one way to turn tracks on and off. I did it last night but need to do it a few times more to be able t...

It is nice when you plan something like that and you have been able to change your plan and know what the satnav is doing when you go off route. Well done for using the emergency escape route. It is no fun trying to sort out a satnav problem with thunder and lightening all around and rain drops deci...

The problem with base camp is that it needs to connect to the Zumo XT to upload the maps. And it won't connect, therefore no planning possible!! No - that isn't correct. In Garmin Express, you can install the same maps that you have on your XT to the computer. Ignore 'Manage Maps' on the right. Sel...

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...
