It can take at least one well placed route point between every connecting road. Place a route point too far ahead and Basecamp will route you on the faster road, divert off of it and backtrack to that route point, u-turn, then continue to the next route point. Still, it is better than the XT. You c...

I have a 'theory' about the XT's Faster Time Algorithm. This is just an idea. I haven't seen it fall over yet, but I haven't done much riding recently. if there is a faster road nearby which can be used to get you to the next route point, it will head for the faster road If the faster road is closer...

Thank you for the welcome and advice, it was one of your helpful posts on UKGSER which led me here! I haven't been on UKGSER for a while - I don't own a GS - I intrude occasionally. There are a few members that also belong to another forum and raised issues concerning the Nav V and Nav Vi which are...

Welcome to the forum John.

Thanks for the comment

I do have my own pdf version, but it is not up to date and I am not prepared to let it out. The online version is what I use - I keep it updated when new info becomes available.

On the XT the Custom POI option in Categories - is only listed if you have created you own POIs. On the XT. Down at the bottom of the Categories list there is a black banner that says 'Other Categories'. If you have created your own Custom Categories, then your category will appear here. If not it s...

Yes, that's identical.

Thats why you don't have any renaming issues !

The route point rename issue has never been one for me. I have almost always created my routes by first dropping waypoints where I want to go. Can I ask what you mean by ''dropping a waypoint' ? I create and name a few Waypoints when planning a ride. They are saved and appear in BC's lower left win...

Useful information Sean OZ - but I think that you are talking about Waypoints. The Explore /Tread database does not cater for Custom POIs - unless Garmin have changed their terminology for the XT2 software. For Garmin, a POI is not the same as a Waypoint. I did wonder when I read the OP's original p...

You just have to remember that the XT will probably change the name of your Route points. To prevent this I have started to create waypoints in BC for the points that I intend to be Vias. The XT doesn't alter them. I might have said that in the video - cant remember, and I don't like listening to my...

Welcome Coddiwompler You are well prepared for the XT haveing used the 396. The basics are similar but there are some changes in behaviour. Here is a document that relates to the 590 and 595 - and is more in keeping with the 396 regarding the use of Basecamp. https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtop...
