What I found on a 340-ish mile ride yesterday: - regarding skipping a point, 1) all the points except the start & destination in my route are shaping points. This works beautifully with the 595 for which my routes were originally made. When I went off route and manually skipped a point, the XT r...

1. The track is only readily visible when it is not hidden (covered) by the route line. When a recalc changes the route, you will see the route line go one way and the track line will go another. The first half is where my trouble lies, this is NOT TRUE!! The track line is so fine and narrow, it si...

I had the same problem when I got a new laptop. With the XT 1 port does comms, 1 port is charging only and 1 port does nothing for the XT though my phone will transfer files through it.

I've yet to figure out this "follow the track" thing. I simply can't see it on the screen unless I zoom in to about 200 ft and then it's useless.

^ Yep, this for me too. Too many good phone apps to depend on the XT. I do sometimes disconnect the Bluetooth as the XT is sometimes easily confused.

Gotcha but of course others may not, by skipping a via point they may wish to go direct to the next viapoint or the end of the route. If I skip a via point that's certainly what I want, I doubt if I'm alone. To do what you want somehow your device would first need to know you want to ride part of t...

Just saying that if you want to continue on route just do so, and go through the viapoint as normal. Just because it's a viapoint doesn't mean you have to visit it, you can just pass through it, or am I missing something? I think you are definitely missing something. I want to ride my route by skip...

[I'm a firm believer in have lots of shaping points to keep you relatively on course if you skip one I've been trying to determine how many 'extra' shaping points I need. I don't want them so close together that the XT is constantly working, but I want them close enough to keep me on route if I ski...

I use the Zumo almost exclusively for all-day and multi-day trips. I almost never enter a location and let it calculate unless it's a restaurant or something. The "cannot calculate" thing is a PITA and I expect better from Garmin. I'm seriously considering mounting the 595 back on the bik...

I see this all the time on my XT. To me, it seems like it picks a point to route to then is never able to change it's choice if you deviate from that chosen route. I got used to the 595 model being able to adapt to a new entry point when I deviate, this is extremely helpful when starting b/c I could...
