Re: what3words & Garmin Drive App

FWIW, I just received a notification from W3W on my Android Phone showing how to display lat & long in any W3W address display as its shown when you search. [Settings: display settings: Decimal degrees] If one then copies that to the clipboard, moves to the Tread App (in my case), pastes the cl...

Its not what you want, but it works., Except now it doesn't.....

Re: No verbal directions when listing to MP3 over Bluetooth

On the Bluetooth page, select the BT headset device that is listed shows icons to indicate what features it is using eg phone, headset, music. They should be blue rather than grey if that feature is connected and working. Tap on that row and it opens up a list that allows you to turn in and off thos...

Yes. Always. I usually have to open the top box anyway, so gloves, satnav, riding glasses all go in there while I am gone. If panniers are empty, helmet goes into one of those.

Re: LOAD MAP FROM SD CARD TO THE XT INTERNAL MEMORY?

If you put your routes, tracks, waypoints onto internal storage, then I recommend a couple of precautions. Make gpx files of your routes and put those into the Gpx folder -as you would for the sd card. Put copies of your gpx files on your phone. If you lose a route or track then you can open the gpx...
