The route point rename issue has never been one for me. I have almost always created my routes by first dropping waypoints where I want to go. Can I ask what you mean by ''dropping a waypoint' ? I create and name a few Waypoints when planning a ride. They are saved and appear in BC's lower left win...

Useful information Sean OZ - but I think that you are talking about Waypoints. The Explore /Tread database does not cater for Custom POIs - unless Garmin have changed their terminology for the XT2 software. For Garmin, a POI is not the same as a Waypoint. I did wonder when I read the OP's original p...

You just have to remember that the XT will probably change the name of your Route points. To prevent this I have started to create waypoints in BC for the points that I intend to be Vias. The XT doesn't alter them. I might have said that in the video - cant remember, and I don't like listening to my...

Welcome Coddiwompler You are well prepared for the XT haveing used the 396. The basics are similar but there are some changes in behaviour. Here is a document that relates to the 590 and 595 - and is more in keeping with the 396 regarding the use of Basecamp. https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtop...

Thank you, that is useful. I am just reading your very detailed and useful guide on the XT and BaseCamp. In BaseCamp,to reduce the number of points in a Track already created, I have used Filter and then set the maximum number of points. If creating a Track from a Route I have made, is there a way ...

Yes - according to Garmin, the maximum is 10,000 points per track for the XT. See previous question and answers here. https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1945 I've just tried an experiment - Lands end to John O'groats - The Bottom SW corner to the top NE corner of UK mainland. Converted...

I think @FrankB's investigation int subclasses may find this useful - unless subclasses are only set after import. Thanks for the pointer John. Running out of time lately, so dont think I will investigate much! Just a few questions: - Does this also apply to the XT. (The topic is in the XT2 section...

Yet another reason to store routes on the SD card and not in internal memory ;) . Points can be changed in a route stored on my device's SD card while it is still inserted in my XT. Ditto routes. Apparently. I avoided using the SD card until very recently - so I wasn't aware of this. Thanks. With t...

In Basecamp, the only way to tell whether a point is a shaping point or a via point is in that dialog box that lkraus has shown. Via points are in black lettering. The points alert on arrival. Shaping points are in a lighter, grey lettering, These say (won't alert..) The symbol used does not mean an...
