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...

Re: Being forced to go back to a waypoint

So when you say "Waypoint" you mean 'Via Point".ie alerts on approach and arrival. Shows as a flag on the Zumo screen.?

Re: ZUMO XT2 CONCLUSIONS

No argument from me about that ! I've always advocated using a Via Point after potential stopping place - on the road that you would take whether or not you visit the stopping place - simply so that if you stop and accidentally end your route while fiddling with the Zumo, you have a point that you c...

Re: ZUMO XT2 CONCLUSIONS

Generally speaking, shaping points don't change anything. (That isn't quite the truth, but I won't go into that). Shaping points make the navigation more flexible. You can miss out a shaping point that is plotted (eg road closures, diversions etc) and when you rejoin the magenta line, the satnav wi...

Re: Pairing XT with Packtalk Edge as GPS

Here are some notes that I prepared after finally getting my system set up. I jotted things down, wrote it up, and then reset everything back to initila state and followed my own notes. They are long winded (you come to expect that from me), but they are detailed and they work. I use the Packtalk Ed...

Re: Managing duplicate Garmin accounts

Did you sort this out ?

That is unusual - you must have a different user name for each account ?

I cant see a way if deleting an account - you may need to contact Garmin.

Your devices will be linked to one account or another. You may need to have serial numbers handy.
