Re: Files sent but Zumo XT not completing transfer

Welcome to the forums.

This sometimes means that there is something 'odd' in the GPX file. Possibly due to the program that was used to create the route in the first place ?

What program did you use to create the gpx file ?

Re: 346/396 map detail gone/cant enter postcode

Welcome to the forum. Quick grasp at straws. Settings -> Map & Vehicle -> My Maps - make sure that your maps are checked and that you don't have any non-garmin maps checked. You should have CN Europe NTU (2 of them) Europe DEM (digital elevation) TopoACtive PS (3 if them - Central, west, east eu...

Re: Variety of Waypoint Icons Not Showing Up?

I understand what you are saying PaulaRay , and I appreciate the evidence that you have sent. But I cannot see anything that confirms that a point has been created as a Waypoint. Personally I have never had a Waypoint be changed in name (or position) from when I entered it in Basecamp - but I have a...

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

Get them to take it out of the box before you accept it. There should be at least a little power in the battery for it to work - but bear in mind Peobody 's comment above. Phone Garmin before you go. Ask them if these batteries die if the XT has been left uncharged for a long time. Is there any way ...

Re: Variety of Waypoint Icons Not Showing Up?

Yes - thanks Peobody . Sometimes - not every time, but more often than not - route point names from imported routes get renamed when they are imported into the XT. It also happens with the 595. It isn't a big issue as the names are rarely displayed - Buy are displayed when starting a route (Select N...

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595

I cant help with the iphone. I did connect mine via the Ipad to see the difference - but its not the same. However. I found the packtalk manual useless. I note that you have two edges paired to the phone. BY the time I had finished I didn't want either edge talking to the phone. Explanation in the a...

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...
