Re: Use Basecamp or Kurviger for planning?

Limited experience with Kurviger. A formum member very kindly helped me out and gave me access to his version for the afternoon - just to test things out. What I found was initially quite good. However, every single route point was sent to the Zumo as a Waypoint - which means that it gets saved in t...

Re: 595 will not answer calls

Thanks @lkraus amd @Peobody Prior to selling my soul to Cardo I used a totally stupid BT headset and never had any problems with incoming calls appearing on the Zumo and being heard in the headset. I did have a conversation with Garmin on Tuesday about an unrelated problem and all they could sugges...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint

@jfheath the second ping you heard was probably as the simulation left the proximity area (the other side of the circle). This is what the Montana would do, Alert when it reached the circle, then again as it left. No -it wasn't that. The proximity circle was 9 miles radius. I only simulated the rou...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint

I did some POI and Tour Guide testing recently, but that was on the XT. I haven't tried POIs on this machine yet. No POI loader was required or putting any other files onto the XT2, and none of my POI experiments have been anywhere near this XT2. I didn't have it. All I did was set the proximity fie...

Re: Tread data sequence ?

My understanding was that Tread and Explore both sent their data to the Explore database. I can't imagine that would be done on a rota. Computers usually talk using a semaphore basis "Oi you, I need some attention", rather than a polling basis ("Do you need owt ?", "Do You ?...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint

XT2 Settings which may be relevant: Settings -> Rider Alerts -> All disabled (made noe difference when I disabled them from some being enabled) Settings -> Rider Alerts -> Proximity Alerts -> Continuous tone. I switched this from Single tone and observed no difference - except it did ping when I cro...

Re: Waypoints created in Garmin Explore

suzjsteele I have a video for you which may help. It isn't very polished and could do with cutting down a bit. But it already took longer to make that I wanted, so I hope it will do. It explains about making an Explore Route. Explains that Waypoints have nothing to do with the route created on Expl...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint

It was an XT2

It was just a single ping. I couldn't find the sound file though to change it. It was only one example but it happened at exaclty the point where my bike crossed the proximity line (as seen on Basecamp). I repeated it a few times.

I'll have to get back to you with my settings.

Poll : Curious about the Zumo XT2 ? Read on....

I have just acquired an XT2. If like me you have been wanting to find answers to questions, and have been unable to find a reasonable response - you are not alone. Except that now I have the means to answer my own questions. First impressions are mostly positive. As you can imagine, I am putting it ...
