Re: GE 7.28.0.0

I had some problems here as well with the 2027.10 map update.

On my XT, express would not offer me the update, however, I was able to get the 2027.10 map installed on the XT from the XT itself (wifi installation). Once installed on the XT, no problem with installing the map on my PC using express ...

Re: New Firmware for Zumo XT


New update with a new bug in the program!
In the map view, click on the lower right corner (three vertical dots) - the device freezes and resets!
Who else is this happening to?

Re: Zumo XT and Basecamp - Everything That You Need to Know



Question. Would you say that it only started navigating you forward when you were closer to the correct route ahead than you were to the place where it last recalculated the route to go back ?


At point B, I was already passed the midpoint between A and C. After point B, the XT kept telling me ...

Re: Zumo XT and Basecamp - Everything That You Need to Know


Just a question before I answer this as best I can.

Think about it carefully, your answer will affect mine!

Did you at any point before this behaviour select the option to skip a point or select the option to edit the route. I don't mean immediately before - I mean at any time after pressing Go ...

Re: Zumo XT and Basecamp - Everything That You Need to Know

I have read 'Zumo XT and Basecamp - Everything That You Need to Know' but I am still trying to wrap my head over the way the XT calculates how to reach it's next route point once you deviate from the original route.

I am returning from a trip and the XT (software level 6.30 - latest) did not behave ...

Re: Area Avoidances definitions - how to copy to another PC?

Someone (DaveA_) on the garmin forum suggested the following:

Garmin did not provide a user friendly way to do this. I have done it several times using Regedit. Read up on Regedit on the net to understand the potential for damage to your system. The way I do it is:

Re: Area Avoidances definitions - how to copy to another PC?


As I have replied elsewhere, when I change pc I do a backup from basecamp using the backup function in the file menu and then do a restore on new pc from the backup file created. This might include avoidances etc. I don’t recall.


Hello khunpaul ,

I have tried a backup/restore, however, the ...

Re: Area Avoidances definitions - how to copy to another PC?
