Re: XT occasionally switches off

I had issues also with my XT, and I tracked it down to the BMW aux power plug that I was using, and rough roads would give it an intermittent connection.

Re: Recalculation of Route after undetected local building site

I had a road closure experience this spring. A mountain road in 1 direction was being resurfaced/replaced from a washout. XT kept wanting me to take a 100 mile detour and wouldn't acknowledge the marked detour. Needles to say, I followed the marked detour and when I got back on the planned route it ...

Re: Zumo XT routing to closed roads

I had a similar, but more the opposite experience. I had a route where the state was rebuilding a section of a roadway. The XT was wanting to re-route me 100 mile out of the way, and kept prompting me to recalc, and turn around. It was confusing as I was continuously meeting traffic, so I figured th...

Re: Faster time vs. Shorter distance

IIRC if you make a change then BaseCamp applies it to all routes automatically. Yes, if you change a profile, all routes that use the changed profile will be recalculated. You will be prompted to update all existing routes, if you say no to the recalculation, the existing routes will be changed to ...

Re: 7.13.1.0 already

I had the same install issue with 7.12
The option to "install to pc" was not available until after the map was updated/installed to the XT 1st.

Re: Can available voice languages be changed?

Interesting... I show 25+ available on mine with 5 different 'British' variants.. You can connect your XT to a PC, then look at the "voice" folder of the internal storage to see if you have any files in that folder. I'm betting that if you have a refurb, it was completely wiped, and appare...

Re: Zumo XT not recognizing it's on the cradle

To clarify, Gary, all your power leads are hard wired to the bikes? Reason I ask, I had a similar power loss issue with my cradle(new style), every time the power would drop I'd get the dreaded pop up saying that power was lost and to check for updates...... Eventually tracked the problem.. On the G...

Re: No Maps Installed ?

Short of purchasing the map file from Garmin, you do have the option of OSM(Open Street Maps) maps, and they are free... HOWEVER.... they don't have the same address search database, so searching by an address may not work.

Re: Reverse route in saved trip

Like was mentioned by sussamb, divided highways cause issues.... I tried using the 'invert' route in BC, not thinking about some route shaping points. I ended up with basically the route in reverse, but with some loop-d-loops around my shaping points.... Needless to say I had to add new shaping poin...
