Re: Basecamp Waypoints on Zumo XT?

JH Heath: Thank you for the info regarding the requirement to have at least one favorite stored before you can import another one. That's weird. Although as soon as I made the change I can import the waypoints. Thank you! You get the general idea - but that isn't exactly what I said. The Zumo does ...

Re: Partial screen freeze up.

Did this work @Purrtec ?

Or have you found a way that does work ?

Re: XT2 marking a waypoint while underway

Not an answer for the XT2, but it may help anyway.... On the XT, there are two ways of doing this. 1. Tap the icon for your vehicle. A screen comes up with the lat/long coordinates and a nearest juntion and nearest location. There is a save button which adds the location to Favourites / Saved. 2. If...

Re: Why is the Zumo XT so difficult to use?

I am considering returning my Zumo XT as it isnt easy to use. Maybe someone can help. I am a different rider than most it seams. I dont use a full face helmet with an ear piece. I use the Harley Infotainment for audio. Their Nav sucks which is why I went with the Zumo XT. I play music thru the Harl...

Re: Why is the Zumo XT so difficult to use?

An unknown to me is how the XT identifies a paired device as a headset. I can answer that. I have two such devices: A standard BT headset which I use with the XT when testing - to ensure phone calls come through OK when I am setting things up at my desk.. And a Bluetooth module - A BTM03 made by Au...

Re: CN NA 2025.10

This is a reply. It's not an answer, because I couldn't say that I know the correct answer. But I can fiddle and get the results that I want. I use the search POI feature very rarely - because the data has proved to be unreliable on the one occasion in Spain when I relied on it entirely for hotel ad...

Re: Discussion about backups and alternate databases

Re: backups and different databases I never use the backup database facility. I found out how to use it and checked it out, but I have never used it since. I backup the the disk drive instead. I do keep many different databases. Mainly so that the folders and lists don't become too full. Typically I...

Re: Shaping points converting to way points

@jfheath , how do you use the backups? AFAIK,... The purpose of the backup is to recover from a corrupted database. It is only useful to Basecamp. You can't selectively open routes that it contains. A restore replaces the active database with the selected backup. Yes. If you take a backup, say ever...

This is taken from the Basecamp manual. Let me know if you need to see it in action.

Re: Shaping points converting to way points

Two things that may help: 1) It is possible to backup the entire database so that you can restore it should the original become corrupt or deleted. 2) I create a new database every year so although I have loads of routes, the one in use by Basecamp contains only those for the current year. It is rel...
