That's what I thought. I'm leading a seminar on satnavs for my local club in a couple of weeks, and just wanted to clarify how interchangeable the various devices and routing software are. The upshot is that using Garmin software to route TomTom devices is possible but expensive.

Does anyone know if you can purchase Garmin maps and use Basecamp to export .gpx files without owning a Gamin satnav?

Do either of you lock the mount to the bike as well?

I'd have simply "rubber-banded" to junctions.

As per John's detailed explanation. My shorter version - create route on Basecamp, export as gpx and run it through Tyre or MRA in case an extra shaping point or two is needed, then create track, export route and track to a gpx to be emailed to everyone.

I follow Russ's method, but in addition the XT is set never to recalculate. Never had a problem yet. <touches wood>

Same for me - using GE 7.20.2.0 the maps wouldn't install to computer - hung up near the end. Restarting computer and XT and running GE as administrator did the trick.

I use a generic case bought from ebay. It travels with me on holiday to take the XT whenever I'm away from the bike. For day trips I just shove the XT, without case, face down in my helmet.

Which is odd, given that one of the improvements with 7.20 is claimed to be "Resolved an issue with map updates failing to install to the computer".

I just give it a quick tug to check. It's never come loose in well over 3 years, including while sliding down the road!
