Re: So, who trusts their XT's navigation?

So after the weekend's ride when the XT is doing it's usual stupid fastest roads messing about with routes it created, the 590 is now back on the bike, and the XT will be used on car journeys that are mostly motorways. Maybe Garmin will sort this out, but I suspect not as they seem to have thier han...

Re: Latest XT routing weirdness

What I've noticed on my recent trip to Spain where the XT and it's version of fastest was seen to be anything but ie over 10 minutes longer over 30 minutes of travel was that the XT very quickly worked out the actual fastest route in only a few hundred yards of going off it's route attempt at the &q...

Re: Speed limit not displayed

Some strange changes happened on the latest CN EU mapping as well, some limits disappearing and some which were incorrect.

Re: Routes failing to import

@Oop North John I felt I had to clarify my reply from yesterday with an example. If you take these steps, the route will load in the XT. 1) Duplicate the Waypoint 'Queens View', and rename it to 'Queens view Return'. (Any different name will do) 2) Delete the second Via point named 'Queens view' fr...

Re: Routes failing to import

Despite having honeymooned in that part of the world many years ago (love it), I don't have detailed maps for it in Basecamp, so my look at your route is pretty crude. But what I noticed right away is that most if not all of the "stops" require turning around and heading back the way you ...

Routes failing to import

I as a matter of course send routes to the micro SD card in my XT, and then import them into the XT by using the spanner and import. Recently I've noticed that some routes will not import into the XT, I've tried selecting a problematic one on its own and as a group with others, and it just won't imp...

Re: zumo 396 issue

Think it doesnt have any software to load as it was corrupt. I'd guess that it was a Cyclops = "safety" camera update. I've got one waiting for my 396 which Garmin Express guesses will take a minute to install. These do come out fairly often and I think are French and Swiss legislation co...

Re: zumo 396 issue

The 396 battery isn't easily removable, so I'd agree with the 2 amps charger for at least overnight.
