Re: Good Morning from Dorset, UK
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...

Re: XT - Tracks - Maximum number of points
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 ...

Re: XT - Tracks - Maximum number of points
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...

Re: Basecamp and via points/shaping points
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...

Re: Basecamp and via points/shaping points
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...

Re: Basecamp and via points/shaping points
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...

Re: Thoughts on "closest entry point"
Yes, I picked up on your - 'it heads to the nearest point of any sort' comment. I didn't say anything though. Yes I think that must be correct. It doesn't have an equation for the line on which it can perform any maths. It just has the points and the very easy to calculate distance between the point...

Re: Hello from Denmark
Welcome Harry.
You don't have to use Basecamp - but it is the best tool for the job in my opinion.
Install Basecamp
Install Garmin Express
Use express to install the same maps on the computer as the ones on your XT
Dont have Express running at the same time as Basecamp.
Ask if you need help.
